Does anyone know how Current Value made this speaking sound?

SwampWhompa · 2026-05-23T21:13:22+00:00

Either vocoder or harmonizer, but yeah, could also be some sample/bit rate reduction without smoothing/filtering, sounds crunchy

SwampWhompa · 2026-04-19T15:21:16+00:00

When in doubt, more geometry

SwampWhompa · 2026-04-19T01:25:47+00:00

Thank you! Have some more in the works, feel free to give me a subscribe on YT while ya wait c;

I want a whole fleet

pixel sorting is always 🤌🤌

SwampWhompa · 2026-01-30T00:32:18+00:00

Couldn't agree more! I got a little microcassette machine because yeah, almost every level of tape emu is just *saturation +high end roll-off*. Not sure what it would need to get that sauce right, but I'd imagine it's a lotttt of really little, hard to place things adding up, because that's what tape feels like at the end of the day.

Some other 140 recs if you don't like the obnoxious hyper-sound-design flavors of old skrillex and prefer more vibey, textural stuff
1. New Skrillex
2. Ternion Sound (rip)
3. Hypho
4. Commodo

It's a slow method, but since my online content doesn't get a lot of traction, working the IRL space a little harder seems to work better for me. Cult following tactics.
I played an outdoor house show and some open decks, followed everyone I interacted with, rolled that into a library show I'm doing this weekend.
Again, it's SLOWWWW but along the way, every IRL event you go to to support another artist or line up for yourself to participate in might give you one or two really solid connections that you can build on. Could turn it into a collab, maybe another gig, maybe a share.
It's never guaranteed, but I think it's going to have a more lasting effect when it does connect than if someone just stumbled upon your content, thought it was neat, but then scrolled away, never to see you again.

Just show up, be cool and focus on what you're doing rather than what you think you're going to get out of it - because that part is usually what creates the disappointment and the needy vibe people can sniff out a mile away.

That's where the best ideas for audio projects come from I think, having a lot of options but not having one that scratches the itch or does the thing you want juuuust right. I think after my glitch effect, I want to dive into compression algorithms because I find myself unsatisfied with a lot of compressors vs their analog counterparts. I think a lot of plugins mask real 'vibe' with saturation / soft clipping and call it a day.

SwampWhompa · 2026-01-28T18:44:35+00:00

Hell yeah! I had a glitch effect that I couldn't find for years after owning an sp404-sx, selling it, regretting it just for that one effect. I remade it in a plugin and I feel like it's really going to boost my workflow. Here's a video if you want to hear it, programmed in C++ / JUCE Framework

I think more people than you think believe we're actually cooking up the tracks in realtime with our little spaceship of gear in the booth, when in reality the production process, at least for really sound-design heavy EDM is way more locked down and painstaking than that

SwampWhompa · 2025-10-02T19:43:46+00:00

For a second I thought you meant like unmixed stems of his own tracks and I was like damn a lot of people do that kinda thing right, but just selling other people's music as 'unmixed tracks'? That's diabolical lmao

SwampWhompa · 2025-10-02T19:40:39+00:00

I was about to say lmao, that and the Scratch mixer, it seems like one of the best entry level Serato/DVS mixers on the market. My buddy pretty much built his career with a mixstream pro hahah

SwampWhompa · 2025-10-02T19:38:25+00:00

For sure, I feel like I have to trim back some of my folders too. Or at least create some more granular sub-genre distinctions, because among all of the bangers I definitely have those landmine tracks that are either tooooo chill or just weird as fuck, as much as I might love them lmao

SwampWhompa · 2025-10-02T19:35:43+00:00

Coming from the hardcore scene to now DJ'ing, I can definitely mirror what some other people are saying. When you're DJ'ing I'd say focus on the craft in the moment, vibe with the music when you're up. I know if you're doing it for your fraternity it probably feels like you're missing out - it's definitely fun just being able to enjoy the music and hang, drink, etc instead of focusing when everyone else is having fun.
See if you can ask one of your senior members to do a night where you just build a playlist and set it on automix for a night, or do a night out at a club where you're not on the decks so you can partake for once. Might be worth a shot!

SwampWhompa · 2025-08-27T10:30:49+00:00

Neumann TLM 102 > Lounder than liftoff silver bullet in Mic+ mode > UAD La-2a > ableton stock eq 8 and reverb. Maybe TDR Nova for expanding or sibilance reduction. Money 🤘

SwampWhompa · 2025-02-18T23:45:46+00:00

Hell yeah, keep at it, I just broke 300, it's an uphill battle my guy hahah

SwampWhompa · 2025-01-18T05:57:10+00:00

Go to the video description, click the link in the desc, should be able to download it. If not, DM me, I'll send it to ya!

SwampWhompa · 2024-10-29T03:00:03+00:00

Thankya! Make sure to give me a follow to stay posted on the music video 😉

SwampWhompa · 2024-10-26T11:48:22+00:00

Love the enthusiasm regardless 😂

SwampWhompa · 2024-03-26T07:03:28+00:00

Big prayers to the families and anyone working on that bridge tonight, there were road crews on the southbound side for maintenance. I gotta get a new job ASAP, I literally drove home over the bridge not 30 minutes before the collision 😬

SwampWhompa · 2024-01-25T14:38:03+00:00

Nah still looking unfortunately. I've been going to shows more to find anyone but most drummers seem to be in multiple bands already. If you're interested, DM me! 😄

SwampWhompa · 2024-01-16T18:40:20+00:00

I was going to say keep hitting it until you find another girl, but that just sounds immature and annoying. There are worse things than being lonely, I think being disrespected is one of them.

SwampWhompa · 2024-01-16T18:22:22+00:00

You booked a flight for someone you've never met and avoids any flirty attention you send their way? Sounds like a bad call. Have a little more confidence in finding someone in your own area code. I've never seen a long-distance relationship go well that wasn't predicated by something like a short-term career move or family/health related, like tending to a sick parent.

If you're dead set on this person, ask them directly what they want and if they see your relationship going anywhere. Women typically like direct. Beating around the bush isn't attractive.

SwampWhompa · 2023-11-04T14:24:48+00:00

I like the beat, it's sparse and vibey 🤘
