I took a nice 4-night 3-day beach vacation this past weekend at some friends’ bungalow in Belmar. Sunday night, my buddy Brian and I goofed around enough to create a few killer tracks (or at least the beer said it was killer). We took turns playing either a push organ or a snare/maracas setup, while we both made up sounds and harmonies.

As usual, we were upset to not have anything to record with. Is a 4-tracker recorder a good idea? I have an iMac and Garage Band. Should I just use that and get a good microphone?

A software company has created a piece of software that allows you to fundamentally dismantle sound and reconstruct or move it around. No more “Cher effects” on auto-tuned voices, which is cool enough. But even cool is that fact that you can take real recordings of strummed guitar chords, break them into single notes, and pitch-adjust inside the chord itself; switching major to minor, or building entirely new chords.

The screencast is pretty impressive, even if you have no interest in audio recording.
