Call to Arms: Charity!

08/16/2011

From KVR thread

 

This is Luftrum. Some of you may know me from the Luftrum: Ambient sound library for Alchemy. I’m a sound designer. Designing presets is my hobby and getting lost in space nailing down the perfect ambient pad is where I recharge my batteries. I am also an employee in a large medical company focused on diabetes care and then I’m “just” an ordinary family guy and father of two girls – 3 and 6 years old, princess terrorists I tell ya Smile and my two most precious beings on this planet. I’m sure the parents among you will agree when it comes to your children and priorities of life – funny how it all turns upside down once you become a parent. Well, that was kind of off topic. Beside the two girls I got a sponsor child in Cap Verde and this leads me back to the topic: Charity!

I am writing this to announce that all sales from my soundbanks during September including royalties, will be given away to a yet undecided charity organisation. It will be either an organisation covering children’s life and healthor an organisation for environmental protection.

I am also writing this almost a month in advance, aiming towards plugin developers, audio companies and individuals to join effort in an unofficial KVR Charity Fund Raising during September – as Bob Hope once said: ”If you haven’t any charity in your heart, you have the worst kind of heart trouble.”

The charity organisation who will recieve the funds will be chosen by KVR members through a poll. The companies and developers who participate in this event will also have the option to choose the specific charity organisation to be voted for. The organisation will be within either of the two specified above. You can donate in two ways:

Companies and sound developer individuals:

- Set up a donation button on your website, with a link to this thread
- Donate a percentage of September sales to the charity event
- Set up a donation event ie. a charity group buy, an auction of a product bundle or a pay-what-you-want for a specific product
- Donate a specific amount.

Other individuals:

- Buy from the Sound Dev Charity list below. The list contains companies and sound developer individuals who participates in the charity event – as described above
- Donate to anyone on the Sound Dev Charity list who got a charity donation button on their website.

When you have donated, please reply to this topic and show your fellow KVR members how YOU became the change! When September ends we will count the charity raised and get a KVR ambassador to hand over the funds to the chosen organisation.

Now, the most important thing everyone can do and I cannot amplify the importance of this enough whether you donate or not: SPREAD THE WORD!Facebook, Twitter, websites, magazines, e-zines or if you are an editorial person with access to media or magazine coverage etc. any PR will do – please help spread the message and bump this thread.

Again, I am writing this almost a month in advance to get dev’s to consume the idea and prepare whatever to be prepared before deadline and starting dateThursday September 1st and lasting until Friday September 30th Companies and sound developer individuals contact me by PM or email to get listed on the Sound Dev Charity list below.

“When I was young, I admired clever people. Now that I am old, I admire kind people.” ~Abraham Joshua Heschel.

I sincerely hope this will grow.

Yours,

- Luftrum.

Why choose FL Studio?
Image-Line, the company behind FL Studio, love what we do and our considerable experience means we understand what it takes to rock your world, creative freedom:

Free to choose – An ‘open standards’ and ‘modular’ design mean you won’t be stuck in a production dead-end. FL Studio supports industry standard plugin formats so you can use instrument and effects form 3rd party manufacturers including VST1 to 3 (64 or 32 bit). Import and export all popular audio formats such as .wav, .mp3 and .ogg, among many others. Importantly, upgrade FL Studio and add features if and when you need them.
Free your audio – Route any group of instruments and soundcard inputs to any mixer track. Mixer tracks, in turn, can send audio to any number of other mixer tracks and a soundcard output. Create sub-mixes, effects chains or just insanely complex and creative mixes. FL studio’s flexible architecture sets audio free.
Free your workflow – Choose your preferred workflow, compose using the step-sequencer or piano roll. Create in pattern or track mode, then arrange your ideas in the free ‘palette’ Playlist. The Playlist presents timeline as a virtual  ‘canvas’ where each Playlist track can simultaneously hold any number of score, audio and automation events. Now that’s freedom.
Free  updates – Buy online or register a Boxed copy of FL Studio and you get an online account from where you can update FL Studio each time a new version is released, for free. Just stop an think for a moment how much money is wasted each year when our competitors hype their latest version and charge anywhere from $149 to $199 for the update. The latest version of FL Studio will always be yours free, leaving you more money to spend on what matters to you.

Instruments

Make virtually any sound – FL Studio 10 includes over 30 software synthesizers covering acoustic/synthetic bass, electric guitar, multi-sampler tools including piano & strings, general sample playback and beat-slicing (With Rex 1 & 2 support).
Synthesis techniques – Synthesizer plugins span subtractive, modelling, FM, RM, granular and additive synthesis modes. With the addition of FL SynthMaker (included with Producer Edition or higher) you can even create & share your own FL instruments, effects & MIDI control dashboards without the need to write basic code. If you understand synthesizers & FX you will be working with FL Synthmaker in minutes.
Open plugin standards – FL Studio supports all PC industry plugin instrument standards including VSTi (1/2/3), DXi(1/2), Buzz and Rewire. This means you can sequence with your favorite plugins and applications.

Audio Recording & Editing

Multi-channel audio inputs – With the ability to simultaneously capture all the inputs on your audio-interface, FL Studio has the flexibility to record a single vocalist, guitar or a full symphony orchestra. Bring your own orchestra!
Arranging audio – Arrange audio with complete freedom in the Playlist. Features include the ability to host an unlimited number of audio recordings, time-stretching, pitch-shifting, beat-slicing, cropping, editing, slip-editing and re-arranging of audio with only a few mouse clicks.
Audio editor – FL Studio 10’s audio capabilities are further enhanced with Edison, the recording wave editor. Edison is an integrated audio editing and recording tool with spectral analysis, convolution reverb, noise reduction, loop-recording, loop-construction tools and more.
Pitch correction - Available as an additional purchase, for far less than you would expect, Image-Line have two amazing pitch correction and manipulation plugins discounted exclusively for FL Studio owners.Newtone is a professional pitch-correction and time manipulation editor. Slice, correct, edit vocals, instrumentals and other recordings like they are MIDI notes & even convert audio to MIDI. Pitcher is a real-time pitch-correction and manipulation plugin that can also create 4-voice harmonies under MIDI control.

FL Studio supports WAV, MP3, OGG, WavPack, AIFF, and REX audio formats.
Sequencing
Compose and record your musical performances and ideas in the most logical way.

Pattern or track sequencing – Record your musical performances and ideas in the most logical way. FL Studio 10 can simultaneously function as a pattern and track based sequencer. Reuse patterns as Pattern Clips in the Playlist or record song-length sequences, as desired.
Step sequencer or Piano roll - Scoring tools include FL Studio’s legendary Step-sequencer, one of the most advanced Piano rolls in any software studio, event and multipoint automation envelopes. FL Studio supports MIDI input, standard controller compatibility, and the ability to simultaneously control multiple instrument channels from separate controllers.

Arranging
FL Studio gives you freedom to do what you want where and when you want.

Determine your own project design - Unlike the competition, FL Studio’s Playlist is a totally flexible and virtually unbounded workspace where Note Pattern, Audio and Automation data can be arranged and edited to suit your creative ideas and preferred workflow.

Mixing & Mastering
FL Studio provides all the tools you need to produce your tracks to the highest professional standards.

The mixer - FL Studio Mixer includes an advanced mixer that is about precision, control and flexibility. Each of the 99 stereo insert-tracks can hold up to 8 effects (VST, DX or FL’s native format). If you need more FX in a chain just route one track to another to gain an additional 8 FX slots and another if you want, you get the idea. Indeed, to create sub-mixes or mixing chains of almost unlimited complexity, each mixer track can be routed to any other or number of other mixer tracks, one of 4 dedicated ‘send’ channels and or the Master track.  Sends provide the ability to sidechain inputs and outputs to multi-input effects plugins. Finally, each of the mixer tracks can be routed to any output on your audio interface (to create surround mixes for example), now that’s flexibility.
Effects – FL Studio includes more than 40 effects spanning maximization, limiting, compression, delay, distortion, equalization (graphic & parametric), filtering, phasing, flanging, chorus, vocoding and reverb. These have you covered for the creative broad-brush effects, through to the minutia of the mastering process.
Open plugin standards – FL Studio supports all PC industry plugin effect standards including VST (1/2), DX(1/2), Buzz and Rewire. This means you can mix with your favorite plugins and applications.

Lifetime free updates
There may be no such thing as a ‘free lunch’ but there certainly is ‘Lifetime Free Updates’ with Image Line’s update policy.

Never pay for bug-fixes again! – Customers who purchase FL Studio receive Lifetime Free Updates by download. Free updates entitles the customer to all future updates of FL Studio according to the edition purchased (Express, Fruity, Producer or Signature Bundle). For example, all FL Studio 10 customers will be able to download their free update to FL Studio 11, 12 e.t.c. That’s freedom!
