THE EBUZZ

WALKTHROUGH

PRODUCT INFO

The Ebuzz was our April Fools' day joke for 2017. It's an insanely extensively sampled $20 toy slide vuvuzela called the "pbuzz".

 

Ironically, we've been informed that it actually has found its way into quite a few folks' templates and possibly even a few film scores.

 

The original webpage for the product is worth a few good chuckles...

THE MAKING OF PERFECTION

We have a tradition of doing April Fools joke instruments, and the ebuzz is one of our favorites. Enlisting the help of professional trombonist Joe Ricard, we spent over a hour recording everything we could possibly think of recording on a $20 toy slide vuvuzela.

Of course, everyone knows musicians can't help but complain, so we also recorded a good number of choice dialogue and stuck them down in the low velocity range, so if you hit a note too softly, you'll hear a little "constructive criticism" from Joe.

Also, there was a saxophone player outside going ham, so we stuck some of that in there as well if you hit a key too hard. ;)
