Though the icing on the cake for us is undoubtedly the fact that you can choose between any 5 different harmonic styles, all of which are each modelled perfectly to a different analogue piece of hardware, including 2 versions of our very favourite distortion the Thermionic Culture Vulture. Offering an extended selection of Lo-fi approved distortions, subtle thickening effects and to top it off some extreme crunching ability. It provides a way to comprehensively apply distortion with an extensive ability to control the granular levels. There’s a whole kaleidoscope of distortion plug-ins on the market that can make bland signals sound pretty cool, but our go-to plug-in, formally known as the “Swiss army knife of harmonic distortion”, is the amazing Soundtoys Decapitator. You don’t want one that will completely obliterate the signal but one that will apply some pretty harsh aliasing when pushed to its far-reaching settings. Step one at the very top of our list, would be to reach for a distortion plug-in and it has to be the right one – choose one that’s somewhere near the middle to top end on the scale of mayhem.
Let’s be honest, using distortion to mutilate sounds is the perfect therapy, and when it comes to Lo-fi, it’s all about crushing signals in a big way!
In today’s article we will be discussing the DIY methods, techniques and processes that are synonymous with the modern production of Lo-fi music. At the Toolroom Academy we hold a high emphasis on creative individualism, opening our doors to many modern styles of dance music that breathe ingenuity.
