No-Input Mixing is a strange and somewhat counter-intuitive process of generating sound from a mixing board without external sound sources. In its essence, it involves routing mixer outputs back into inputs, creating feedback and oscillations largely driven by the self-noise of the device.
By using this technique in the creative process, the sound designer can explore many different and special ways to create sound. Unsettling soundscapes perfect for sci-fi, dystopian and horror projects, like strange noises, disrupted signals, broken communication, buzzing drones, faulty machinery, futuristic tech sounds, and glitchy elements are some results of the No-Input Mixing technique.
NoInputMixer app models an analog mixing console and effects rack in detail, giving you the ability to create a huge number of feedback configurations with additional effects. It consists of a seven-channel mixer and an effects rack with eight slots. Each effect slot can be configured as an insert effect for a mixer channel or used with two send/return buses. The easy-to-use user interface allows you to switch between classic mixer view or complete control of single channel. In addition, a large set of ready-to-use drone and noise presets with a parameter randomizer provide a great point for quickly getting started with this app.
What’s new in version 1.2:
- Redesigned and improved user interface (you can revert to previous in the app settings).
- The new option to set the parameters of the current channel to their initial state.
- Added a lot of new drone/noise presets (Thanks to Robert Dowell!).
- Some minor bugs were fixed.
