UPDATE: Make beats with iPhone.
After the last post about making music on the iPhone, I decided to to a search and I came across two nifty little iPhone Apps that actually let you make beats within the iPhone itself. The first is called mpc500 and looks amazing! (See image above on the left). It has 9 pads and I think you can even sequence with it. Read More
Make beats with iPhone.
I’m not exactly sure why anybody would actually want to do this with their phone but I guess its pretty cool to know that you COULD if you wanted to. For me it’s yet another incentive to go ahead and cop an iPhone. Read the instructions here. Read More
Reason Accordion Refill?
I Smell an April Fool’s joke…You always have to be a little skeptical on 4/1. They did go all out with a video and sample mp3s though. You be the Judge.
Reason 4.0: Thor Tutorials.
I have to admit THOR has definitely been one of the toughest Reason racks to learn. I thought the Malstrom had a lot of knobs/buttons but Thor probably has twice as many. I’ve been rolling with the presets and them tweaking to get the sound that I want but I always wanted to know how to build sounds from scratch with this thing. Luckily Propellerhead has some really good tutorials on how to flip THOR without causing a headache. Peep the links below. Read More
Free 808 Kicks & Snares.
Stumbled on a dope collection of nicely recorded drums. All of these drums are recorded on to a tape and then processed through all kinds of vintage synth machines to give them a really heavy sound. Listen to the sample and you can hear how warm and thick these sounds are. Way better than what you’ll find on your favorite D4L track.
Just listen to their write up:
Not another 808 sample! Well actually it isn’t… this is 407 samples taken from two 808′s recorded into an Ampex 351 1/2″ valve 2 track tape machine! That’s not all… We also put the 808′s through other vintage gear. Plus we recorded the 808′s naked into a Metric Halo ULN-2 firewire audio card. Then we chose the best samples.
All 24 bit, and all phat analog goodness!
If you can’t get a hold of a real 808 then this is as close as you can get in samples… Maybe even better than the having the real thing!
Reason Tutorials Coming Soon
I get a lot of requests for how I did this and how I did that in Reason and I promise they’re coming. It’s just been really hectic trying to finish up this instrumental project so that I can officially launch this site. In the meantime, I found a blog that has some pretty good tutorials on how to do common tasks in Reason, like setting up Templates, and adding FX, tightening up drums, etc. All supported with images. Check it out and be patient. HAHA.
I keep saying this…
…but I really believe it — The Future is NOW and its call The ATTIGO TT.
Not much to explain here that the video doesn’t already show you. Peep: Read More »
