Ohm Force by Mattias ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I have used a few of the excellent plug-ins from French company Ohm WSM: Hi Cid, we have spoken a few times already, but I don't the nice and free plug-ins Frohmage know too much about your background. Tell the me and and the Computer Music freebie readers a bit about yourself and the rest of the team. For instance, Ohmygod! As I have been working as what brought you from warm Art Director and graphic designer back Brazil to cold Paris? Force a couple of times. For instance
in the days, I contacted them pretty quick when the company posted a tweet on Twitter that they needed help with graphic design for a few projects.
I got the job. At the moment, I am helping the guys out with some graphics. It’s mainly for their website. I really like these guys because they work hard to satisfy the music scene with plug-ins that really stand out from the crowd. I think they do a really good job at that. When offered a chance to ask Cid Andrade of Ohm Force a few questions, I took it pretty quick.

WSM: What's the history of the team in short? When watching the videos on your website, it seems that it's a pretty small, creative team, having loads of fun. Cid: Ohm Force started in 2001, when a few college friends realized that they used to share the same passion for music and computers. The guy Cid: I'm from Rio de Janeiro and who first pointed the sky showing the always worked with communications path to the Ohm Force was Laurent and marketing at big companies. I'm De Soras (aka Force Prune) and then also addicted to music and since I was the rest of the team joined him. And 15 years old I spend a big part of my at this moment - voila! - the Ohm free time playing around at my home Force started to exist. (...) To be studio. At the very beginning the honest I have much more fun here 'home studio' was just a PC and a then I used to be when working for FastTracker2 module tracker (that telecom corporations or Web was in 1994 I think). Then one day I companies. And it could be truth that found Cubase, then the wonderful we're less.... hmm... squared then the plug-ins world. I quickly became a big average. But we're not laughing all fan of Ohm Force, and used to be in the time. Of course we have (a lot of) touch with the guys here, talking moments of pure real life routine. We about music production and music in take the subway. We come to the general. Put all that in a mixer and office. We spend the whole day in spice up with an increasing wish of front of the computer working hard on being able to somehow transform my our new project. Then we take the hobby in an actual work, and you'll subway back home. That's the Ohm figure out that with the time these side of the moon. The same amount conversations became plans of of energy we can spend to have fun making things together and... one day and give our products some of our I took a plane and left my warm Rio attitude, we also focus on a serious to embrace (mostly) cold Paris... :-) work/research on digital signal processing applied to musical creativity - which is not exactly a pain, quite the opposite.
