We Ar Lyve - Moguai available for download
Read more . . . →Everybody should get a copy of this album right now! I just downloaded a copy off Beatport. There are a few familiar tracks on here, Lyve, Nyce and ZYVOX but I discovered a few early favourites. Impereal stands out for me as single-worthy. Really nicely produced, relaxing, echoey and just the right amount of "space" for my taste. Flex Rex Mansion starts off with a weird glitchy vocal but very soon a smooth baseline and vocal quickly works this track into your heart. The synth work in this album sounds so incredible, like a very edgy guitar sound even on...

Little Boots - Earthquake Remix: breakdown and some issues
Read more . . . →Last fall the British pop singer known as Little Boots held a remix competition for her song "Earthquake." I was very excited to jump into this project for practice but I immediately ran into some problems. You can grab the Earthquake stems here. My first problem stemmed (pardon the pun) from the choice of files that were provided. Unfortunately the vocals arrived as one giant stem reducing the possibilities to remix the incredible harmonies within the vocal track. I tried to work around this limitation by using Melodyne, the vocal tuning software. This would have allowed me to make different...

This is acomplished using the ReWire protocol (link to wikipedia description) to stream audio and timing information between the two programs. Make sure to watch the video fullscreen and also make sure you are playing it in HD if your machine is capable. Related articles by Zemanta Apple updates Logic Pro, Express (tuaw.com)

Read more . . . →By Alex Massaad A few weeks ago I made a remix of a song: Its by a band that I've been a really big fan of for a couple years, Vibrasphere. You can check out the link above to get caught up with the song I'm about to describe and break down. In this post I'm going to explain how I put together this arrangement, as well as some details on how I'm configuring Ableton Live to play around with the samples before I get to the arrangement stage. I save a lot of time by playing around with musical...
