Or even better, that kickdrum sound you’ve been dreaming up, but had no clue how to coax out of your machines? According to a new article on Gizmodo, researchers are trying to change that by developing a suite of sketching tools for sound design. This could be the new sync button: soon everyone will be able to make beats, regardless of their technical knowledge.
