Info:
----
AudioMulch is an interactive musician’s environment for Pentium and Pentium II computers
running Windows 95/98 and Windows NT. Bringing together the popular with what has up
to now been considered experimental, AudioMulch merges the worlds of mainstream 
electronica and electroacoustic sound composition to create a fluid sonic environment
only limited by the artist’s imagination. 
While many of the processes featured within AudioMulch are not new to computer music
programs, it is the software’s ability to carry out these traditionally "studio" or
"non-real-time" signal processing techniques in real-time that emerges as its major
asset. With AudioMulch, music that has for so long been limited to the pre & post-
production practices of a studio can emerge in a new LIVE and interactive context. 

Through the essentially unlimited (only by the power of the computer) combination
of a network of synthesis and processing contraptions, AudioMulch allows the user
to extend their current audio processing capabilities or create new music within 
their computer without additional expensive software or hardware systems.
