Aliasing Distortion for Sound Design

Usually we want to avoid distortion in our recordings, other times it’s a fundamental part of the sound design process.

In this video we’re sending a high frequency tone through a low-sample rate signal processor (AIR LoFi) to create aliasing disortion, then using the Duck plugin to shape the sounds into awesome bleeps and bloops.
This is a great starting point for quickly generating retro game sounds and UI design.
I also show how to record this to a new track for easy chopping into a sound library.
And finally I suggest how you can tweak the workflow in case you don’t have LoFi and Duck.
