Reader Matt Jackson let us know that the Composers’ Desktop Project (CDP) — a free collection of hundreds of sound design programs — is now available as a plug-in, an Ableton Live Extension, and in your browser.
CDP is a mature, wide-ranging suite of sound-manipulation programs.
Features:
CDP has hundreds of processes covering nearly every aspect of creative sound design.
CDP’s emphasis is on transforming existing sounds to create new ones in the tradition of musique concrète.
CDP is free software, running on MacOS, Windows and Linux and released under the GNU Lesser General Public License.
CDP 8 is available as a free download under an open source license.
DSPTone has released RESTRUKT, a free ambience reducer for macOS and Windows.
RESTRUKT is designed to surgically extract unwanted room bleed, ring, and muddy sustain from the input signal, without destroying transient punch.
“Instead of fighting messy rooms or long decays, RESTRUKT tears down the acoustic footprint of any signal.
It uses a precise, multiband subtractive engine to shave off unwanted bleed and sustain. Then, it runs the dry, punchy transients through a warm tape saturation circuit before injecting a sparkling, highly controlled, shimmering burst of synthetic space.”
