Hey everyone! I’m Tristan :waving_hand:

I’ve had the pleasure of being part of the Baby Audio family since 2020.

My favorite plugin right now is one I can’t talk about yet :wink: — but if I had to play fair, Transit 2 is very rad.

I make noise under the name blur effect — mostly ambient vibes these days.

Outside of music, I’m into photography, Magic: The Gathering, and comic book movies.

Not to brag, but I am Elden Lord.

Currently based in Ohio, hanging out with the love of my life and our three fur babies.

Pineapple on pizza? Nah.

Maybe some Tabasco, though. :pizza:

Howdy folks, I’m Drew; though my music moniker is Volt Mother. Pleasure to virtually share this space with you all.

I’m not entirely sure what it is that I create anymore, and I’ve come to really lean into that I think. I feel like most folks who listen to my work would say it’s very darksynth/synthwave adjacent, and generally gets attention in those circles. I really enjoy exploring different worlds and aesthetics with my sound, and am greatly inspired by my favorite video games- not just their OSTs, but more so the worlds they create and the experiences they bring a player through. I’m also live on Twitch under the name Drewcifur every Tue, Thurs, and Sunday, hanging with my little community and digging into cool and niche games, or giving sneak peeks of WIPs!

I’ve been a longtime fan of Baby Audio’s killer DSP and interfaces, and couldn’t imagine a production without using them. My most used BA piece is a close race between Super VHS and Crystalline though. It’s probably Super VHS, that damn Heat knob…

Favorite color tends to be drabby, muddy greens. And truthfully, I’ve never tried pineapple on pizza before.. but it doesn’t sound like something I’d ask for.

Looking forward to the forum’s future and getting to know you folks. :sign_of_the_horns:

Hey everyone, I’m Tim, and I often go by the username Karhide on sites. I’ve been making music for a long time and now try to work on new music most days. My main job is in web development and work for an environmental research institute.

My favourite Baby Audio plugin is Taip plus I think I own all the plugins.

If you want to listen to some music this is a good start:

If you want to dig a bit deeper there’s currently 2,976 minutes of music uploaded here:

No to pineapple on pizza but if you enjoy it go for it!

Hey! My name is Andrew and I write as Myagi. I’ve been working with synths since i was 15, and since im 46 that makes it officially a long time.

As Myagi I have done lots of work over the years with some pretty cool people, be that remixes, collaborations, touring or sound design - some stuff I’ve dome with the BA crew has been out there in the form of Factory presets for humanoid and transit 2, and there is more forthcoming. I love the BA stuff, its slick, incredibly well designed and hits sweet spots easily.

I also just dropped my third album, which you can check on all normal outlets - its called The World Of Tomorrow.

I’m probably most proud of my remixes for Orbital and The Crystal Method.

Hey all!

I’m Asa, and I do Artist Relations at Baby Audio. I primarily make 80s-inspired pop but also make tracks in pop rock, electronic, and everything in between.

My most used plugin is BA-1 but a couple honorable mentions for me are Transit 2 and Super VHS.

Favorite color is forest green and pineapple does not belong with savory flavors, I’m sorry, but I’m also not.

I look forward to interacting with you all on here :slight_smile:

EDIT: You can find my music on Instagram @asaamusic btw ;)

Hi, I’m Wintour, I am based in the UK and I am primarily a producer. I make many genres but mostly focus on UK style Dubstep and Drum & Bass / Jungle. I’m an avid sound designer and an enjoyer of Baby Audio’s devices! if I had to choose only one it’d be Transit 2, that thing is so useful and versatile! Though, a close second would be atoms; sound scapes have never been so easy.

Let me see if I can answer these in the order listed:

My name is g - I have several aliases out there but I don’t really want to plug myself or my flailing music projects :) I’d rather just talk about what I think of BA and what makes their tools so great :) Maybe sometime in the future i’ll share some shameful self promotion but until then, i’m here to just discuss BA :)

I previous had made house/disco/techno records, standard format occasionally with some downtempo breakbeat stuff but effectively a techy-style-groovy sort of music, leveraging Juno 60, 106, Jupiter 8, Moog, etc sounds. Along with standard Drum machines of the 80s (Linn, 909/808/727/707, DR-55, various mixed and matched)

Now i’m more into making music that I really want to hear, rather than produce music meant for DJs or ā€œThe Floorā€ – That said, i’m working on more Lofi and experimental things and I find that it’s so freeing not feeling boxed into a certain style or format. BA tools help with this in a major way.

My most used plugin, is likely Magic Dice (I always reach for that one) – Even though I own the majority of the BA catalog, it’s just the first jump point for me, due to (what I can only guess?) is filtered delay with some additional magic under the hood.

Favorite Color, likely blue.

Pineapple always on pizza, I know I know. (My background heritage invented pizza, if that helps provide additional color) – here is a good combination if you haven’t already tried it:

Pineapple and Pepperoni.. Typically people use ham with pineapple but it’s not as good as it sounds, Pine/Pep combo is for sure a winner. Contrast of sweet/tart and zing. In some cases Pine/Bacon is also good. That’s more the sweet/tart and salty vibe.

John Arthur Grant is my real name and my ā€˜composer’ name, but I’ve been doing neo-classical music under the name of Antoni Grzyb (Antoni G for short) for a little while.

I’ve been a pro musician for… how long? Let’s just say that I’ve been working with MIDI for as long as it has existed, and have arranged or produced music in all sorts of seemingly-unrelated genres for most of that time.

I seem to use Smooth Op Pro in almost every project, it’s really really nice. If I didn’t have so many reverbs - many of them favs - I could probably get by with just the two BA ones, they’re also great. And I used Transit 2 recently to mangle my voice and produce some sound art, to be presented at a concert in Rome later this year. I’ve gotta spend some more time and learn more about that ap, it’s a very cool thing.

I’m from Melbourne, Australia.

I avoid pizza these days, but go ahead, put pineapple on, see if I care! Just make sure it’s fresh pineapple, preferably grown in Australia. :joy:

Hi everyone! My name is Bastiaan Barth, and I started out under the name Solidtrax and a few other names. I started with trackers in the late 80s/early 90s. Then came MIDI sequencers, synthesizers and more.

I had a career in IT, but my heart was crying out for music, so I switched careers and started my own company, Solidtrax, and made it my full-time job. So far, I’ve had the pleasure of working with fantastic people and companies, and it’s been a privilege to work on BA products, especially in quality assurance, consulting, and preset design. I’ve worked on the BA-1, Atoms, Humanoid, Transit 1 and 2, and other cool products from Denise Audio.

I composed all kinds of music from gabber to cinematic and synthwave to techno or IDM. I also like to create a complete track with just one synthesizer.

My most used BA plugin is probably Transit, but BA-1 comes a close second.

My favourite color is blue.

Pineapple on pizza - sure, why not!

I’m from Sneek, The Netherlands.

Cheers!

Thanks Caspar, glad to be here!

I am new and can’t seem to start my own post in this forum or install the plugins in my DAW I am hoping someone on this page sees this and helps me out. I installed the manager then installed the plugin then when it comes to adding the plugin into the daw…then what? I can not seem to do this. I am looking at the plugin manager in the daw and it’s nowhere to be found. Suggestion anyone?

The BA Manager is a standalone app, installed alongside your other applications. You can open it outside of your DAW to download, install, and activate your plugins. Once that’s done, just open your DAW and you’ll be ready to go. Be sure the manager app is running in the background.

Thank you for responding sadly I do have the manager open and do have the DAW open and I am seeing nothing no plugins to use accept the ones that came with my Daw Sonar 1x. I think i am missing something personally. Where is it exactly in the Daw so you can add it to the vocals. i am not seeing any new effects showing up anywhere in the Daw at all. Suggestions?

:saluting_face: I DM’d you so we don’t muddy up the intro thread here. Looking forward to getting you sorted!
