By popular demand...
Here is that sound that took 6 hours to process last week. I used it in the podcast (as that snare-drummy kind of sound).
ambergran.mp3
I don't even remember what sound I started with. Probably clinking bottles. I like those.
It sounds good, but not entirely worth the 6 hour wait. Which is not the program's fault at all. I gave it a very linear course of action, a 24-bit file that was about 2 minutes long, and got what I asked for. Garbage in, granular out.
What I like about Amber is all of the morphing options. Most of the granular tools I use are plug-ins, which don't necessarily transform grains in time. Anyhow, I got some good use out of the sound, and the program is free. What more could I want?
New episode will be up tomorrow.
UPDATE:
Screw tomorrow. The podcast is up right now.
