This is a sound I’ve been curious about for a long time. The best I can imagine would be to just have an audio FM transmitter and re-record the audio from an actual radio with an output jack.
I know there are simple techniques that can make it sound “old-timey” or tinny, but its really not the same as the fluctuating frequency, the combination of different sounds/signals, the wild hiss/roar/moans of radio signals.
It would be nice to have a controllable source to run audio signals through this sound.
Not sure how close this would actually sound, but you could maybe try routing a few different pieces of audio into FM8’s FX version and frequency modulate them together there?
This track comes close to that sorta interference of radio
Maybe one of the included plug-ins(speakers, i think) to match tonal quality- and maybe FM8 FX for thr interference or some sorta cross synthesis for radio wave behavior
I feel like you could maybe also get a similar effect with abeltons vocoder perhaps, its essentially a carrier/modulator type thing, which in essence what FM is as i understand it
I mean just the frequency interference. Where the voices randomly disappear into the airwaves. Where there’s that randomly generated him of static and signals(also distorted by the radiowaves)
The broken is a sonic qualifier, not a hardware qualifier.
I’ve been in love with this sound since 2013. There’s something special to it. The dashing back and forth of company and loneliness decided by the turn of the dial and the way the air moves.
I’ve been drinking(alcohol), but there was this moment from when I was driving back from work after spending all day drinking(coffee) where the nonsense between frequencies just made sense.
