Work is progressing nicely on the new Distraub release titled "Frequency Shift" (Working Title). I have been exploring different methods to write tracks, which is giving this album a bit more of an organic feel, and more diversity. I am currently about 60% complete with the music, and will begin posting preview tracks and sample artwork soon.

The distraub track "Cepstrum" is featured in an audio Iphone application titled "Audioforge". You will are able to edit the track directly in the application, to create your own custom remix.

Audioforge is the envelope based Swiss army knife for audio files on iPhone. Edit the wave form directly just by touching it. Set selections to copy and paste within files or even paste from another file. Dynamically change volume for fade in effects or the remove unwanted clicks. Adjust stereo balance and set it to the far left channel for the beginning of the track continuously transferring over to the right channel for the end. Add stereo widening effects or bring it all to together to make is sound mono. Add high pass and low pass effects to start an intro, simulate a telephone conversation or just distort your sound.

Use tracker knobs to adjust the effect levels. Add as many trackers as you need by double tapping on the waveform. Move them around to generate the changes to the effect you need. Delete them by double tapping them again.
