Ross From Friends releases Thresho, the free audio tool that contains 50GB of samples

Not all heroes wear capes. Audio tools can cost big bucks. Step up, Ross From Friends. The DJ/producer has created a free, fully customisable audio tool that includes well over 2000 recordings from his studio.

The “ever-expanding sound bank” has been designed as an audio plugin for Max For Live that works by automatically recording an audio input once it hits a defined threshold and stops once it drops below. The audio is then time-stamped and moved into a folder for later access.

Ross From Friends announced, and then dropped the new software via an Instagram post and said: “Over the course of writing Tread, Thresho automatically created this audio diary of everything I did in the studio.”

“The album is defined by this process, so I wanted people to be able to interact with it to get a closer understanding of the album as a whole.”

He also explains in his post that he has omitted the recordings used on his latest album ‘Tread’ from the software as he believes that they have now found their purpose within songs and continues by saying: “I want these recordings to stand alone as their own entity. I hope you enjoy them.”

The Instagram reveal was then followed up with a link drop.

“I posted a couple of weeks ago about the process behind writing the new album and the musical memoir that my software had incidentally left behind. Here it all is. 50GB (over 2000 recordings) of unheard material all recorded around the writing of Tread.

Ross From Friends has also invited artists to use the software and upload their own recordings, promising a gift to those that do this and tag him in stories.
