With our new tutorial series on Youtube, we explore sound design using Audiotool.

In the first episode our alchemist Cal Lycus shows how to create a kick drum with synths and effects, explaining envelopes and their use. Cal Lycus is a long time Audiotool user and Sound Designer from South Wales with credits in audio roles for award-winning short films and as a sound designer for game developers. When not on audio projects, he develops DSP tools or gives technical instruction at university.

We thank Cal for joining this project. Stay tuned for more episodes!
