Today our hosts are joined by Isaac Nelson to talk about the development of Beam Splitter. Isaac is the other half of OBNE's R&D department, and an actor of some renown, recognizable for characters such as Old Ike and whatever we call the corporate guy who drinks the Sunlight tincture. Isaac gives nod to his object (a blue strat) and describes himself as not a particularly curious gear guy, while also giving insight into the inspiration behind his triple tracking multi-distortion mono stereo trereo embiggening behemoth, Beam Splitter.

Steinberg verschenkt vier Retro-Instrumente und einen Effekt im VST3-Format, direkt aus den Anfängen von Cubase. Im Video teste ich, ob sich der Download wirklich lohnt und wie gut die alten Sounds im Vergleich zu modernen Cubase-Tools abschneiden. Los geht's mit dem LM7, einem Drum-Synthesizer mit Presets wie 909, Compressor, Drum-Base, Fusion und Modulation. Danach der VB1 Virtual Bass mit typischem Retro-Charakter, gefolgt vom CS40, einem 6-fach polyphonen Synthesizer, und dem Neon, einem 4-Oszillator-Synth. Zum Schluss der Karlette-Delay-Effekt, den ich direkt mit dem modernen Studio Delay und Multi-Tap Delay in Cubase vergleiche. Außerdem checke ich, ob der Retrolog-Synthesizer den CS40 und Neon nicht sogar überflüssig macht. Für alle, die sich für Musikproduktion, Sounddesign und Synthesizer-Programmierung interessieren, zeige ich ehrlich, wo die Stärken und Grenzen dieser kostenlosen Instrumente liegen und ob sie einen echten Mehrwert gegenüber bereits vorhandenen Cubase-Tools bieten.

Today our hosts discuss two solo sets. Andy recently returned from Post Fest, where he played his first solo set in several years. He talks about how it went, the one technical difficulty he ran into, and the overall setup to create a visually and aurally compelling experience. Then Dan talks about prepping for his first solo set in a couple years, and the line between exploratory instrumental improvisation and simply singing the songs he's written. Then, some voice mails allow them to both give and take advice. If you don't feel like listening, just remember this: it's ok. The show will go on. You're doing great!

Few artists have contributed to electronic music from as many different perspectives as Ron Boots. Best known as a synthesist and composer, he has also played a pivotal role in the genre through Groove Unlimited, the E-Live and E-Day festivals, and his long-running Dreamscape radio show, creating opportunities for both established artists and emerging talent.

Rippler ist der neue physical-modeling Synthesizer von reFX, den Machern von Nexus 5. In diesem Testbericht höre ich mir die Presets an, gehe tief in die Synth Engine und zeige, was den Sound tatsächlich von Nexus unterscheidet. Im Video seht ihr, wie der Resonator mit bis zu zwölf physical-modeling Modellen (String, Beam und mehr) funktioniert, wie ihr eigene Samples als Exciter nutzt und wie Decay, Release und Material den Charakter des Sounds verändern. Ich zeige die Modulationsmatrix mit vier Hüllkurven, vier LFOs und Zufallsmodulation für organische, sich ständig verändernde Sounds, außerdem das Effekte-Routing über Layer A, Layer B und Master sowie den eingebauten Arpeggiator für schnelle Melodie-Ideen. Rippler eignet sich für alle, die eigene, ungewöhnliche Synth-Sounds für Techno, Electronic Music oder Sounddesign bauen wollen. Er klingt stellenweise nach Nexus 5, hat aber einen eigenständigen, etwas härteren Charakter.

Viele Diskussion gab es schon beim ersten Trailer zu Christopher Nolans Odyssee. Eines der meisterwarteten Filmprojekte aller Zeiten. Jetzt ist der Film bereits auf dem Weg Nolans erfolgreichster Kassenschlager zu werden. Die Musik von Ludwig Göransson soll der Bronzezeit nahekommen und möglichst authentisch sein. Lyra, Aulos und ... Synthesizer? Dem geht Malte Hemmerich in Score Snacks auf den Grund und findet einen apokalyptischen Score, der in uns alte Instinkte weckt.

Today our hosts chat with Zak Sherman of The Audio Cultivation Project. They talk about his entrance into pedal building coming at an early stage in his musical development, and how that leads to designs that come from an unexpected place. They also talk about the upcoming Midwest Pedal Fest, and why he and Alec Breslow chose to host it in Detroit. And of course, they talk about his chosen object: a particularly modded Telecaster that speaks to who he is as a player and pedal designer. They try to tackle the important questions, like what is a Telecaster, what is the midwest, and who in this room is a poser?

Immersive Audio, Downmix-Technik und binaurale Wiedergabe: In diesem Gespräch erklärt Wilfried Van Baelen, Gründer von Galaxy Studios und Erfinder von Auro-3D, wie seine App Auro Masters Musik in echter 3D-Klangqualität auf Kopfhörer, Lautsprecher und ins Auto bringt. Wir sprechen über Metadaten-Encoding, den Unterschied zwischen Auro-3D und Dolby Atmos, warum Artistic Intent beim Mixen geschützt werden muss und wieso es bewusst keine zweiwöchige Gratis-Testphase gibt. Der zweite Teil dreht sich um Wilfrieds unglaublichen Werdegang: vom selbstgebauten Synthesizer über die erste Schallplatte bis zum Bau von Galaxy Studios – buchstäblich in einem alten Hühnerstall. Wir sprechen über die Federisolationstechnik, meterdicke Glaswände und den Weltrekord bei der Raumisolation, der das Studio zu einem der bekanntesten Tonstudios weltweit gemacht hat. Namen wie Rammstein, Peter Maffay, Herbert Grönemeyer, Kelly Family, Kendrick Lamar, Lauryn Hill, Mary J. Blige und James Last haben dort aufgenommen.

They discuss his recent video on the differences between preamps, and our hosts experience a freewheeling wonderment of knowledge. Subjects include capturing the spirit in the room, leaning into the noises, letting an idea be fully explored on its own, a hot take involving acoustic treatment, and how the five percent difference only matters when it matters to you and your creative process.

Die Toten Hosen gehen auf große Abschiedstour. In dieser Folge ehren wir deshalb die Düsseldorfer Punkband und sprechen über das legendäre Konzeptalbum "Opium fürs Volk" von 1996. Dazu gehören auch Hits wie "Bonnie & Clyde" und "Paradies". Als die Toten Hosen im Frühjahr 2026 ihre Tour "Trink aus! Wir müssen gehen" ankündigen, ahnen viele Fans schon, dass es sich um einen Abschied handelt. Für die Meilensteine-Redaktion stand fest: Es wird Zeit, die Jungs rund um Leadsänger Campino zu ehren. Nur mit welchem Album? In unserem Online-Voting habt ihr euch für "Opium fürs Volk" entschieden. Es ist im selben Jahr wie "Le Frisur" von Die Ärzte erschienen – und ebenfalls ein Konzeptalbum. Einer, der Die Toten Hosen nicht nur kennt, sondern auch gut mit ihnen befreundet ist, ist Ingo Knollmann von den Donots. Als Podcastgast in dieser Folge erzählt er, dass die Hosen sein allererstes Konzert waren und ihn dazu inspiriert haben, eine eigene Band zu gründen. 1996 waren Die Toten Hosen auf dem bis dato Höhepunkt ihrer Karriere. Mit dem Album "Kauf mich!" erreichten sie Platz eins der deutschen Albumcharts und mussten sich mit der Frage herumschlagen, ob ihre Musik überhaupt noch Punk sei. Sie hatten aber auch ihr eigenes Label gegründet und damit neue Freiheiten gewonnen. Mit "Opium fürs Volk" schlug die Band eine klare Richtung ein: mehr hin zum Stadionrock – und man könnte auch vorsichtig sagen, dass sie dem Mainstream ein Stück näher gekommen sind. Das Konzept fürs Album entwickelte Sänger Campino, nachdem er auf Einladung des Abts Stephan Schröder eine Woche im Benediktinerabtei Königsmünster verbracht hatte. Campino nimmt dort am klösterlichen Leben teil und beschäftigt und sich mit den großen Fragen des Lebens – kein Wunder also, dass der Albumtitel von einem Zitat des Philosophen Karl Marx inspiriert ist. Klar wird der religiöse Bezug direkt auf dem Opener, "Vaterunser", der das wichtigste Gebet der Christen aufgreift und auch wie ein Gebet klingt. Für viele Punk-Fans war das sicherlich ein gewöhnungsbedürftiger Einstieg. Wer sich davon nicht abschrecken lässt und tiefer ins Album einsteigt, erkennt, dass zwischen der Religions- und Gesellschaftskritik jede Menge Selbstironie steckt. Während in "Und so weiter" deutsche Spießer und ihre Faulheit aufs Korn genommen werden, erlebt das Gangsterpaar in "Bonnie & Clyde" ein Abenteuer nach dem anderen – zumindest stellen sie es sich so vor. Man kann den Song als Hymne für Punks und Gangster interpretieren oder eben daraus schließen, dass alles nur eine Fantasie ist. Genau das zeichnet laut Ingo Knollmann die Toten Hosen aus: "Die Hosen sind in ihrer Art auch Punk, aber eben nicht dieses Brutale, dieses Aggressive. [...] Und das macht es dann auch aus, warum sie wirklich für viele so hörbar sind und auch Campino als Mensch so interessant und sympathisch ist." Neben den verschiedenen Themen und Lebensfragen, die auf dem Album behandelt werden, ist auch die Musik, die zu hören ist, "bemerkenswert vielseitig", findet Host Frank König. Gregorianische Gesänge teilen sich auf dem Album einen Platz mit Dudelsack, Flöten, Streicher, Synthesizer, Punk, Folk, Rock und Reggae. Und diese Mischung, die von einem religiösen roten Faden, durchzogen ist, geht auf. "Opium fürs Volk" gehört zu den meistverkauften Alben in Deutschland, erreichte Platz eins der deutschen Charts und wurde noch im Jahr der Veröffentlichung mit einer Goldenen und einer Platin-Schallplatte ausgezeichnet. __________ Über diese Songs vom Album "Opium fürs Volk" sprechen wir im Podcast (15:49) – "Vaterunser"(23:44) – "Und so weiter"(26:51) – "Bonnie & Clyde"(36:18) – "Paradies"(43:04) – "Viva la revolution"(47:35) – "10 kleine Jägermeister"__________ Alle Shownotes und weiterführenden Links zur Folge "Opium fürs Volk" findet ihr hier: https://x.swr.de/s/dietotenhosenopiumfuersvolk __________ Ihr wollt mehr Podcasts wie diesen?

Today our hosts welcome Dave Gill of Baltimore Sonic Research Institute. Dave is a long-time hog, first time guest, and we have a great time getting into a lot of specifics about Boss pedals, particularly the PS-5 Super Shifter. We ponder the historical arc of Boss' popularity, the different considerations looking at a company that size vs a company like Old Blood vs a company like BSRI, and we reiterate that the best thing about this industry is the people. It's a good hang, and you're invited!

Today our hosts welcome Blair White, owner of Eastside Music Supply in Nashville Tennessee. As a stockist and a friend, Blair's history runs in parallel with Old Blood's in a lot of ways, and we talk a lot about what it's like to create a business around the idea that a Nashville guitar store should actually be weird and cool and a good time. We focus the object talk around his Rickenbacker 330, and talk about the many ways he experiences music, whether at the shop, playing out, playing at home, or on the road teching for Adrian Belew.

Trapped in the inescapable prison of the Gruul on Tarkivon-6, Captain Steel and his second-in-command, Christy Starfox, need to find a way to contact the crew of the Valiant Intrepid before the Unkithol spy who has been impersonating Steel can launch the Ultimate Questromatron missile the ship is supposed to be transporting to the front […]

Today our hosts talk about Andy's experience recording with last episode's guest, and his discovery of the Roland JC-40 through that process. An amp that manages to be both a direct-in silent recording solution and an in-the-room tool. We talk about various tonal revelations, and get reminders that sometimes you need the confidence to say this is good and I will now perform well. Also we're both coming off head colds so who knows what we were on about!
