Cycles Volume 1 description:

The MAX CYCLES VOLUME 1 Sustained Encounters Sample CD. Long evolving aural environments and unfolding atmospheres, perfect for use in film, DV, multimedia and music production.

MAX CYCLES VOLUME 1 is part of a 4-volume series, created by sound designer Ron MacLeod. A series of 'inspirational' sonic collections, utilizing the innovative processing tools from Cycling '74 -- Max/MSP, Pluggo and Radial. Each Cycles release contains two discs: a DVD-ROM containing 24-bit .wav files and a standard audio CD for an easy auditioning alternative. The samples are supplied as 48kHz for use in film, DV, and multimedia productions and 44.1kHz version for compatibility with music production tools. Files are seamlessly looped end to end. Sustained Encounters is comprised of long evolving aural environments and unfolding atmospheres. Culled from MacLeod's private reserve, an accumulation of years of film sound design and sonic exploration, these textures were individually 'composed' utilizing bleeding edge psychoacoustic processing, designed specifically to be intricately interesting and immersive without being obtrusive to additional content.
