In recent years, convolution reverbs have become quite popular. Into the fray, we introduce the EchoThief plugin, a collaboration with Dr. Chris Warren, creator of the EchoThief impulse response library.   The EchoThief library was created using custom, state-of-the-art signal processing technology that enables the recording of impulse responses in acoustic spaces that are too… Read More

A couple years ago, we set out to build a synth. We spent a ton of time focusing on automation, a good high resolution spectrum display, proper portamento, waveform warping, preset sharing, and a bunch of other features that we thought important. What we didn’t focus on? Proper anti-aliasing. The result was a synth that… Read More

Programming the automation for scratching is something that has eluded the DJ tech community for too long.  Imagine for a moment, and plugin that allows you to program scratches the way you make beats, by automating parameters – tweaking until you get the perfect scratch.  Imagine a library of scratch automations that can be triggered… Read More

Joining the ranks of elite professional DJ software, Livetronica Studio now supports timecoded Vinyl – specifically Traktor, Torq, and Ms Pinky formats (no Serato support yet). We still have one of the only DJ software out there that gives you quantizable freq shifts (up to 4 octaves), bpm shifts (up to +/- 8 times play… Read More

Just a sneak peak at one of the newest features being developed for FlyLoops. The screenshot below shows the prototype for a type of equalizer that lets you draw your own filter envelope. The filter variables are mappable to Midi commands, or controllable with the mouse, allowing users to change the way loops are EQ’ed… Read More

I worked the last few days at improving the visualizer features and getting a VST/AU standalone plugin version completed. Mapping is coming along nicely, which allows the user to map the variables of the visualization environment (color, rotation, movement) to what is happening musically (tempo, pitch, volume, turntable scratching). The plugin will be open source… Read More

Within FlyLoops is a real time audio data visualizer that displays a waveform based on the live input audio, plus any looping or turntable output. The goal of this display is to be a professional level visualizer for the audio as it is being performed. Recent improvements to the visualizer include the ability to alter… Read More

FlyLoops 3.0 also includes a waveform visualization studio which allows you to build live visualization that correspond with the music as it is being made (the visualizer uses the currently playing loops and turntables as well as any live input). The novel thing is that you can control the visualization. Decide which parameters vary, and… Read More

FlyLoops is a product that takes digital djing to a new level. Just one twist … you’ll need instruments. This is a looping device, and although it can open files as well as any other vdj turntable software, its best features come out when you record and spin live loops. You can even loop the… Read More
