Jean-Francois Charles

Music Hackspace is an online hub to learn hands-on how to work with art & technology. On Saturday, I was invited to give a workshop on the topic Max 9 - Get a better sound in Max using ABL objects . It was a great pleasure to meet musicians and share with them some of my experience with Max. If you are interested, there is a workshop on February 8 on a very close topic: Max 9: Adaptive audio fx systems with ABL and preset mixing . Although the technical concepts in Jordan Tyler Munson's and my workshop are almost the same, I'm sure we are presenting them in a different way. With Max, there's always another way of getting to the same goal, or a different way of using the same objects!
