Oedipax has not just become popular because of her awesome tracks but also because of her community spirit. Oedipax started her own track of the week feature where sometimes unknown tracks are brought into the limelight, not only that oedipax also wrote a very detailed blogpost explaining the myriad that is track licensing.
Normally sticking to DnB, the tracks from oedipax are expertly composed and always include great sound design from beginning to end.
Oedipax got together with Kepz and produced an EP which is available on Bandcamp. She also has her own Bandcamp page which can be found here.

The point of this competition was to celebrate the addition of the Heisenberg synthesiser and to see what people could do with it in its first month of existence.
Here are the winners:
We have 2 bonus winners who didn’t enter the competition but we think deserve to be winners anyway. Firstly noraus because of the wealth of presets he made early on and Infyuthsion because of his awesome Heisenberg tutorial.
All of the winners will get a 3 month Spotify premium account and an Audiotool t-shirt. Congrats!

The best way to describe the music from EliaTrix would be to call it gothic techno but that still does not really do it justice. EliaTrix makes dark, dystopian bass music which would scare even the most scary of monsters. Often including haunting lyrics, massive square waves and malformed noise, the music from EliaTrix is pure expression. He also has a more dance oriented alter ego and a collaboration with Cripta which can be found here.

The submission phase for the Heisenberg micro-contest is now over. Thanks to everyone for all the tracks! The 10 winners will be announced next week.

Limiter
The dsp-code has been refurbished and will limit the output signal to a dynamic range of 96 dB without clipping digitally.
DC Offset Removal
Audiotool will no longer generate frequencies below 20 Hz (also called DC offset). These signals might have caused unwanted side-effects such as a reduction of dynamic range and artifacts when the audio has been compressed to mp3/ogg.

This has already been said about other users but noraus really was one of the first users at audiotool.com and was also one of the first to enjoy an Audiotool mega-hit. noraus produces ambient tracks in all forms, even the acid tracks are kind of relaxing.
