How I Design Sounds With SpinTracer 1.5 Update

Hey everyone! 😊

SpinTracer by TONSTURM Hahn & Klotzsch GbR just got a serious upgrade and I even got you a discount code for it, here's what's new!

I started by recording and designing 16+ sources and routed the sounds to the individual SpinTracer inputs to morph them together while keeping full control over their movements.

The user panel now has two sections. The lower one covers the classic doppler output, panning, and reflection. The upper one introduces the new multichannel tremolo feature, and this is where things get really interesting!

The indicators show the position of each orb around the listener. The range sets the radius, and within it you control the max/min dry/wet and rate settings.

Set it to Tracer and every orb shares the same tremolo, red and blue lights show you how far each orb or tracer is from the listener. Set it to Orb and each one gets its own tremolo rate, calculated from its individual distance.

The offset feature lets you shift the phase per orb, and the curve shapes the transition from min to max rate: exponential, logarithmic, or linear. It directly affects how fast the sounds interact with the listener.

My favourite trick so far: MIDI-controlling the max settings while moving the source around the listener position. The level of control you get is genuinely addictive.

The output section also now lets you spread orbs up to 1 second apart which is super useful for fixing phasing issues when stacking many sounds.

And the new dry/wet panning section lets you blend cleanly between affected and unaffected signal, while the X-over dry/wet controls how much low end gets touched by the effect.

For the demos I put together three quick redesigns:

- A small fantasy impact from Mirrorbound (Newfangled Games)
- Flying vehicles from Star Wars: Maul
- A helicopter from multiple angles

These are just quick sketches, you can take this much further!

👉 Don't forget to use the code "Renardsound" at checkout for 10% off the update or the full SpinTracer bundle! Careful, it's only valid until the 16th of JUNE and there's already automatically 30% off on the Full SpinTracer & 20% on the upgrade! 🤯

Go get it while the code is active! 😇
