Tim Conrardy

I had a very friendly correspondence with him while buying a plugin and he respondend very patiently with very friendly vibes. when i read about mourning, i thought this cant be cause i emailed with him just few days ago, but that was feb 20 but his email said march 18 with a wrong date. sometimes one just cant really get things into the head. i dont know much of him but his emails were extremely nice, much more than what would be normal for this kind of coresponding.

You where a great person and a great sound designer.

Rest in Peace

Wow! I was shocked to hear the sad news! I had the pleasure to get to know Tim, after we met at the Namm show, a few years back. What a great, positive guy, with an unbelievable spirit and energy! A true role model!

Thank you Tim! May your soul rest in peace.

I just found out today, your gone, despite my focus on music making I still feel your sound design is to be hailed as the best, ushering in new musicians like my self and supporting established ones, that I aspire to be..Without your help this is not possible and I will still look for this help in you and in the stars.

 

See you in future dreams Tim...

What can I say. Never met you. But been using many-a-vst-preset of yours. Thanks.

Brother Tim,

 

I am blessed to have had an opportunity to get to know you.  We met through the support email system at CamelAudio, when I first started using their products, and when you found out that I lived in Santa Clara, you wasted no time in inviting me to your home!  Amazing!

 

I got to see and play with your home studio and I go to experience first-hand your love for music and sound creation.  Needless to say, I was totally bowled over by your infectious enthusiasm.

 

I feel sadness now as I realize that I didn't take the opportunity to tell these things to you directly, but I trust that you will be hearing them now.  I am grateful for the chance to get to know you, and I wish you great blessings, lots of joy and infinite love as you embark on this new adventure.

 

Much love,

 

David McLeod

Just wishing to add my condolences - I had first had contact with Tim through emailing him regarding his Atari Midi World site - I still have the site bookmarked and long may it remain as a testimony to Tim's devotion to the Atari Computer.

 

I have other music products featuring Tim's work too - The guy is a genius and had what I would call a dream job.

 

I send out heartfelt condolences to Tim's Family - I am sure they will miss him too.

 

Rest in Peace Tim - You won't be forgotten - Your Legacy in music will live on.

 

Regards.......Mark (M.D.S)

Everytime I saw (TC) for a preset I auditioned it (them) first before any others. He was an awesome sound designing FORCE.

Tim, you're influence will last forever in the history of virtual studios. You will never be forgotten.

I wish you and your family blessings of peace and light. Know that your dear Tim was cherished and loved by so many people.

Tim Conrardy was a regular poster and sound sample contributor at the Chimera Synthesis community.  Here I saw him in passing as patient, thoughtful, and always willing to share.

Beyond that, though, Tim was also responsible for programming many of the patches found in my favorite VSTis.  For the past several months, I've rarely started a session or song without first turning to & marveling at the presets that were so appropriately labeled "TC."  Sounds steeped in drones & overtones, rich and full of character and life, and a creative inspiration every time.

Once I connected the dots and discovered that that Tim was the common thread running through these patches, I always intended to tell him what his sounds meant to me, and to thank him.  But I never got around to it.  Unsure of my place, I hesitated.  Now, he's gone.

Reading this memorial, I've come to realize that his legacy extends further than I ever imagined.  I've only begun to appreciate all that which he has left behind.  But thank you, Tim.  Rest in peace.
