Released in 1968, Open My Eyes by Nazz is a prominent example of tape flanging. The song was a major inspiration to a couple of young men who, in 1971, went on to found Eventide and create the world’s first pro audio effects box, the Instant Phaser. This version of the song features the new Instant Phaser Mk II and Instant Flanger Mk II plug-ins available for AAX, VST and AU.

Eventide H9000 Sound Examples

Developed by Eventide in 1974, the H910 was the world’s first commercially available Harmonizer. It combined ‘de-glitched’ pitch change with delay and feedback. Artists could perform live and instantly create harmonies with unprecedented polyphony. Building on the legacy of the H910, the H949 was Eventide’s first de-glitched pitch-shifter. Produced from 1979-1984, it introduced the MicroPitch effect, which used a proprietary single-sideband modulation technique for precise control of small pitch shifts. The H949 also offered unique flange, reverse, and randomized pitching effects. 

A truly versatile tool for harmonic effects, double-tracking, otherworldly delays, glitching distortions and even very more extreme possibilities, the landmark combination of multi-effects in the H949 processor has forever changed the sonic landscape of music. The unique flanging, infamous reverse, time-altering delays, and distinct randomizing pitching effects made famous by the most groundbreaking artists of the last half-century, the H949 Harmonizer® plug-in is a door into a timeless world of creative musical effects mayhem.

Eventide Audio created this contest: They covered Nazz - OpenYour Eyes written by Todd Rundgren. "Remix this in any way, creative or traditional, but use at least the Instant Flanger or Instant Phaser." I used both.
I choose the traditional way; to create a 'perfect' mix.

[UPDATE]: The jury choose my mix as the best 'traditional'-version.
I'm so happy ;-)

Some details;
- claps moved 30 msec back in time (claps fx not)
- most tracks highpass filtered
- no conga's used (cluttered the mix)
- some volume/effect automation
- de-essing a bit (highs in the mix became a little too much)

Bored of the same old synth sounds? Newfangled Audio's Pendulate is refreshingly different. Pendulate is a chaotic monosynth that uses a brand new double-pendulum-oscillator to create previously unheard sounds - biting basses, searing leads, and gritty textures. It can smoothly fade from a sine wave to total chaos, with an expanse of territory to explore in between. Get it for FREE at etide.io/pendulate-giveaway
