yeah so this is me. ive been making tape jams for a while now. starting to record about 8 hours of tapes onto my computer so i can edit it and add vocals. at the moment its pretty primitve using fruity loops a bit but put thru EXTREMELY hissy tapes.

i want to call my first peice "treble mines" because thats what it sounds like. im getting a really old sound of these tapes, like a really old hissy shaky over loud tv recording.

so basically what im wondering is what kind of cool and cheap effects are easy to do on audio software and are there any cool programmes people recommend so i can learn how to edit this stuff and put it thru different effects and isolate certain parts of the sound and all that? cheers.

my set up at the moment is-

theremin
crafter cruiser with a new humbucker - drum sticks stuck under the
strings and 2 screwdrivers to beat on it
sds 5 distortion pedal (amazing)
big muff
old 20 watt amp
electric violin
tape noise
and some vocals
5 peice acoustic drum kit
fruity loops

ive done a lot of jams and messin about so far and i plan to be able to upload a 30 minute peice that is nearly finishe here soon.

does anyone else here do anything similar?

does anyone know a good pedal to use for a theremin?

ive tried it on the distortion pedal and it barely changes the sound at all.

how about an octave pedal?

Delay or wah or delay and wah are commonly used on theramins. But it's a gorgeous enough sound without if you ask me.

ill take a look at one.

but at the moment i can barely afford cassettes so it may take a while ha.

anyone know of any good programmes to download for vocal effects?

do you have audacity? it's free. wave editor. some built in effects. plus you can use plugins. export the wav to floops easily...

yeah audacity is good. havent got the hang of it completly yet tho.

and frutay loops is hard to work out. it just frustrates me. i dont like the methodical aspect of it.
