Hey Sonics! How is everyone doing? It's been a funny old start to the week. I've mainly been putting the artwork together for my next single, "All The Little Things" which should be out at the beginning of May. In today's Tobisonics episode, we're adding width, depth & dynamics to loops. My intention was to do this as one video, but it was going to be too long, so I've split it into two parts. Part two will come out next week and tackle Hi-Hats & Synth. In part one, we'r

Hey Sonics! How is everyone doing today? Wow, I am running late. It has been one of those days... but we keep on trucking. What else can we do? In this week's Tobisonics episode, we're taking a look at how I use Loopcloud in my productions; and to make things a little more interesting, we're going to set ourselves a little challenge. Can I Produce a Track Using only Loopcloud? Spoiler Alert: no. Loops flatter to deceive. You're never going to get everything you need b

Hey Sonics! How is everyone doing today? I had a very productive day yesterday with my next release. I think the structure and core body of the production is now done.

In this week's Tobisonics episode, we're taking a look at a brand new plugin from United Plugins, QuickBass. United Plugins say that QuickBass is an all in one s

Hey Sonics! How is everyone doing? I hope the start of the week has been kind to you. I'm very busy with promotion for Eye of the Storm while working on a couple of new productions. In this week's episode, we're going down the rabbit hole! We're reopening the production for a song I've already released to see if we can do a better job - something you should never do! I used the Fabfilter Saturn 2 a lot for tone/timbre shaping, etc when making Eye of the Storm. I want to s

Hey Sonics! Happy Tuesdays all around! I hope the week has started well for you all and the days have been kind. In this week's episode, we're taking a look at the Waves CLA Epic. I want to know if the Waves CLA Epic offers me something that I don't already have with my existing plugins. In order to find out, we're going to put the CLA Epic up against some of the reverb/delay plugins that I already own: the Fabfilter Pro-R, the Valhalla Vintage Verb, and the Eventide Ultra

Hey Sonics! How is everyone doing? I hope your weeks have all started well! In this week's episode, we're taking a look at a new vocal effects plugin from Waves, the Vocal Bender. The reason we're doing a demo of the Vocal Bender is, I'm thinking of buying it; but before I do, I have two questions I need to answer. How does the Vocal Bender compare to Soundtoys Little Alterboy in terms of pitch and formant shifting? And, does the Vocal Bender do anything for me that Waves
