#289: Building Apps and Learning Synthesis with Nick Culbertson

Music Production Podcast

Nick Culbertson is a musician and app developer who runs Moby Pixel, a mobile app creation studio. He designs game and music apps for iOS, and also produces a wide range of educational and entertaining YouTube videos. He has just released Overdrive Synth for iOS, which combines classic synthesizers with guitar overdrive and distortion pedals.

Nick goes in depth about his app development process. His new app, Overdrive Synth, combines his experience as guitarist, budding synthesist, and app developer. We had a great conversation about his work and how building interesting sounds helps us create music with personality and character.
