Music Mondays: ATAM004 - Massaad + Garland - Atmosphere
Read more . . . →Here is a track that was made by the Ottawa-based vocal duo Massaad + Garland and just released at the begining of March 2011 on the independent electronic label ATAM Productions I'm a big fan of the vocoder sound so this one is an instant win but also worthy of attention is the instrumental version which doesnt have any of this vocal. A bit of history about the track: the music and percussion was originally made for last summer but for some reason or another it never got finished. This year a vocal was added and the whole thing was...

Studio Production Techniques - In the Box or In the Desk?
Read more . . . →I've been doing a lot of research into audio production lately. I have been a subscriber to Future Music magazine for about a year, and a reader for much longer. They often go into very big studios with the biggest names in electronic music and I'm always very interested in what gear the stars are using. While most of this equipment is out of my price range seeing this expensive gear in operation is certainly interesting. Many producers mix in the box, this definitely has some advantages. When I use Logic 9 I am able to pick up and sit...

MIDI Synth in Max for Live
Read more . . . →When Ableton first announced Max for Live I knew this plugin / add on would be a game changer. I had to get a copy as soon as possible. For the uninitiated max for live basically lets you use a simple graphical programming language, called max/msp within Ableton Live. This lets advanced users program custom interfaces and controls that have access to every piece of information Ableton Live knows about the audio. The possibilities of extending the features of the application are limited only by the programming skill and creative needs of the user. I have used the software a...

Drumcell Interivew
Read more . . . →Electronic music producer Drumcell discusses some of his techniques in this interview video. It starts off showing off the future place for a crazy warehouse party then cuts right to the rocking deep techno at the party. I really love the videos they have being projected! Next they cut to his studio where he talks about how got into music playing guitar. His first forray came from reading about a producer who was able to produce his entire demo himself. This led him to learn about multi-track audio although he was into more aggressive band-type music.

Music Mondays: Cassius - Love You So (Skream Remix)
Read more . . . →Let me start off by first warning: This is NOT the real music video for this song/remix. I have been a big fan of the Skream remix to Cassius' I Love You So ever since I first heard it a couple months ago. The original is released on the French electronic label Ed Banger (as in "head banger" pronounced by zee French) is very similar in sound yet radically different in style. I've been a fan of Justice and Uffie as well but haven't heard enough other releases to really know for sure if I'm an Ed Banger myself when...
