I'm continuing my databending series with a look at MP3s. We'll talk about how to glitch and corrupt them into oblivion while still leaving them playable!

I mentioned a lo-fi plugin I made with cell phone codecs, and I just published an initial release! There are some features that are still in the works, but there are plugin files available for macOS, and the codecs and downsampling work:
@reillypascal whoa, that’s thorough and the small example sounds very interesting.
@tsrono thanks! I will definitely share the results when I get more sounds too
@reillypascal Very interesting post. I'm also really intrigued by the RSTelecom plugin, are you planning to make a compiled version of that available as well in the future?
@pitermach I was actually surprised I hadn't already done so when I linked the repository in this post the other day! The plugin doesn't have everything completed, but I can definitely make a compiled version. I unfortunately only have setups on Mac and Linux to compile it — I'll probably have to figure out a GitHub action or something to get a Windows version. What OS are you looking for?
@reillypascal Mac would be great actually because that's where I do most of my audio production
@pitermach cool! I will do that and I'll let you know when it's available
