One month ago we posted dutch artist Remco’s demo track for the Symptohm:Melohman PE and now he shows up again, this time showing his experiments with the Ohmicide:Melohman distortion. His Ohmicide demo track shows that this distortion – despite what many could think – is not only suitable for hard and agressive distortion grain. The owners of this unit know that the Ohmicide palette goes far beyond that, crossing the huge field of subtle distortion and ‘distortion to add warmth’. This demo shows us some percussive elements dictating the rhythm for some atmosphere/texture sounds, while the Ohmicide helps creating a global ‘soul’ for the whole landscape, the final result being anything but cold…

UK born and Swiss-based audio technician Jonathan Reamonn made a cool demo track for the Ohmicide:Melohman, which you can download here. This track is a great example that the Ohmicide distortion is far away from being limited to Rock or any other specific music genre. Jonathan’s distorted digital basses and distorted IDM beats are everything but cold, and if you like it and would want to taste more of his music, take a look at his site.
British hard house producer – and Ohm Force plug-ins’ heavy user – Tim Vision has recently released a new track on Spinball Records called “Overdrive“, and there’s no doubt that a guy who calls his track this way must be an Ohmicide:Melohman fan. So we asked him to show us what kind of distortion work he’s operating for his new track – in which he’s working right now – and he sent us these 3 audio examples: the original loop, the distorted version after processing with the Ohmicide:Melohman, than some additional liquid spices added by inserting a Mobilohm in the insert chain.

How to fatten a Vermona M.A.R.S.
How to fatten a Vermona M.A.R.S., first passing it through an Ohmicide:Melohman, then an Mobilohm. It seems that yes, you can fatten something that’s already phat, resulting in some obese sounds.
Loads of distortion on vocals? Colombian gothic artist Elamorte explains how he uses the Ohmicide:Melohman distortion plug-in from Ohm Force to process his vocal tracks. He could have made this tutorial without showing his face, but it wouldn’t be scary enough. His track is called “Suicide” and you shouldn’t listen to it alone at home…

Cohmpetition’s first submission kicks some ass: former Smashing Pumpkins drummer Matt Walker shows how he uses the Ohmicide:Melohman at home and during his drum sessions. Matt is currently on tour with Morrissey, and if you still don’t know what Matt we’re talking about, he was the guy on the drums from 96 ’til the end of the band…
Top engineer Barry Rudolph – with names in his discography such as Steve Vai, Chick Corea, Jon Bon Jovi, Ringo Star and Little Richard – who also is a loyal contributor to Mix Magazine, has put our badass Ohmicide:Melohman in his personal website’s “Gear Lust” list, which he describes as “a section devoted to products that merit attention – stuff that I just love!”. A big cheer from the whole Ohm team to Barry, and click here to check out the complete article…

Jack McOck strikes again
Jack McOck aka Dominic Réamonn (Geneva, Switzerland) strikes again. After making one of the funniest video tutorials ever, now the guy gets back to his original talents: music composing and production. His track “I 8 Your Chips” is really nice and would have been the perfect soundtrack to the end of Spielberg’s “Artificial Intelligence”, when hundreds years later the android-boy is rescued from the ocean by the machines who now rule the planet, what we realize as they take the transparent cubic elevator to take him to the examination room…
With a bit of an Autechre influence, McOck has abused of FIVE instances of Ohmicide:Melohman to achieve these sounds. As sources, Logic’s Ultrabeat and Rob Papen’s Predator were all he’s used. If you’ve enjoyed it, pay a visit to his site and leave him a comment! Have you also made a nice track using Ohm Force plug-ins and want to show it to the ohmworld? Drop us a mail!
