Here you can find samples of some of my work. I will eventually add more to this page.
Selected sound clips
A clip from a track called ‘Coffee & cigarettes’. It’s a rough mix from the ‘Whiskey, violence and MILFs EP’.
This is one of the monthly beats I’ve made for Hip-Hop Crunch
Below are two of the many sound clips available at Audival
I did this while trying out a new synthesizer. It’s a lo-fi blipping thing with dirty drums.
This was just for fun. It’s me emulating a 8 bit video game rally with an electric guitar only. It has it all, a countdown, start, driving… And of course a crash!

Many of my articles and reviews have been referred to and/or quoted by a lot of people, companies and websites, including Flux::, Jam, VirSyn, Softube, Audio Geek Zine, Audio Tech News, McDSP, etc, etc.
On rare occasions a product is released that does what nothing else does. This is one of those occasions and Speakerphone does just that - what nothing else does. While others emulate guitar cabinets or telephone voices, Speakerphone emulates just about any speaker you can think of. Audio Ease didn’t stop there however, they also included lots of effects for sculpting the speaker, as well as samples and a very high quality reverb to put it somewhere. Speakerphone might not be of great importance to everyone, after all, not everyone is in need of something like this. For me it’s very useful in music and podcast mixes, and if you’re doing post production then it’s very likely that this will be you new best friend. It’s with this motivation that I for the second time in ProToolers entire history give away the wicked approval - our award for completely outstanding products.

What? Louder? Shouldn’t compressing lower the volume? Well, it does, but by lowering the loudest part, while keeping the quieter parts intact you can raise the overall volume. There have been many heated discussions on compressing, as overuse of it completely destroys the dynamics of the audio. This is usually called squashing.
Please don’t squash your material.
Believe it or not, but the human voice is actually what I compress most often. While this is mostly when I mix music, the principles are the same for spoken word. Consider this scenario: You have recorded yourself speaking but realize that at several times you’re speaking to low and at other times you’re talking to loud. You now have two options:

First things first: Eleven doesn’t have a tuner. The monstrosity! Fortunately for us, once upon a time Digidesign decided to buy Bomb Factory and give away a lot of their plug-ins for free. Among them was the Essential Tuner. Thank you Digidesign.
I doubt this is the reason for not including a tuner in Eleven however. To better understand the horrors brought upon us with the lack of a tuner we must first grasp the very concept, or essence if you will, of Eleven which is: It’s an amp simulator. Yep, it simulates amps. Not effect pedals, rack EQs or tuners, but amps. Actually, it also simulates mics, but that’s only fair since the signal needs to be recorded somehow. In this way it’s actually a little like Softubes Vintage Amp Room. They’re both based on the philosophy “let’s not do a lot of shit, but lets do little shit and do it good”.
