Of course, it made the final cut and it has since been regarded as one of the most revolutionary drum sounds ever created. Everyone was amazed.ĭavid scratched his head and said, ‘I agree it’s an amazing effect, but I’m dubious whether we’ll use it.’ But as we grew more familiar with it – we eventually loved it. In simple terms it means a very deep snare sound that keeps cascading downwards in pitch the initial impact had the ‘crack’ but then the ‘thud’ never seemed to stop, and, not only did it go on at length, but it got deeper and deeper in pitch, kind of like the sound a man makes when he gets punched in the stomach – ‘ugh’. I sent a feed from the snare drum mic to the Harmonizer, I dropped the pitch by a semi-tone, and then I added feedback of this sound to itself. I immediately set up my Harmonizer and decided to use one of the coolest tricks I’d discovered before I’d left London.
Here's Visconti talking about the Harmonizer in the context of the "Low" sessions:īefore we recorded the first piece, I had to get sounds from each instrument, and in the case of the drums, one for each drum. It's effect is more pronounced on "Low" but can be heard on "The Idiot" as well (remember both albums were recorded pretty much simultaneously at the same studio). In the hands of Bowie, Visconti and Thibault this device was used to pitch drum sounds DOWN. The Harmonizer is a real-time pitch-shifting device that one would typically use to fabricate vocal harmonies. I should say this is also a success for Thibault because he states that the Château was the first studio in Europe to have an Eventide Harmonizer. Visconti's main secret behind the sounds of "Low" and "The Idiot" lies in the Eventide Harmonizer.
#EVENTIDE H910 HARMONIZER USAGE PASSWORD#
We have opened a discussion thread in the Pub section discussing this. We will include a very detailed password checklist. We want to highly recommend that members turn on and use TGP's two-factor authentication option. We highly recommend every member reading this change their passwords as a precaution. We have forced email revalidation for all members that have not signed on for a while. None of the accounts compromised were using two-factor authentication. Talking to one member as I am working through getting his account back in order, he informed me that his Apple password manager had been compromised and made available on the dark web. In today's world, that is false confidence you can no longer afford.Įvery account that I've restored so far to the original owner was using compromised passwords. It is heartbreaking to see that the lure of saving some money will still fool people into using those methods to save a few dollars. Unfortunately, we cannot control how members do deals. However, the best way to prevent this is for members to exercise proper password hygiene (which I'll detail below), turn on two-factor authentication, and - I implore every single person here - only use payment methods that have buyer protection.
We've made security changes that I don't want to detail here to stop them. They have scammed members in the Emporiums by creating ads with stolen photos and requesting Paypal F&F or Venmo exclusively for payment.
Some fraudsters have compromised TGP accounts have in the past few days.
