Happy New Year – DJ Set
Read more . . . →[caption id="attachment_642" align="alignleft" width="283" caption="Better late than never at all!"][/caption] For the past few years I have been having new years parties at my house in Ottawa. This year I had a two hour set planed in Ableton Live with a couple underground remixes I was working on. The first one is is my LTWB 2010 remix. This song is originally by Laidback Luke, Sebastian Ingrosso, Axwell and Steve Angello but I felt it needed something more. The was actually sub-ing (pun intended!) in a new bass line and mixing some drums as well as including a chord progression from...

Rick Rubin Biography
As someone with an active interest in music production this is a fascinating read because it really exposes the way he interacts with bands and what his process is. ...

I just recently purchased an analog synthesizer, the DSI Mopho, and one of the main features it sports is an audio in which can modulate and filter external audio signals, or create feedback within the synth. Check out the video below to check out Korg's new product, and check back later this month to find a review on...

Ableton Live Tutorials
Read more . . . →I use Ableton Live about 50 times a day sometimes. I have been using it since version 5 but I have only recently begun using it to obsessive proportions.

Guitar Hero or Guitar God
Read more . . . →Image by ♫axime via Flickr Like many music lovers I learned guitar when I was in high school. I saw my first music video showcasing some really hot licks and I instnatly fell in love; I needed to master those six strings. Unfortunately it's not as simple as getting your hands on the instrument. There is tuning, pracice and guitar lessons that all helped to get me off my feet. I have taken many classes to improve my skill, but this one tiny product helped me imensely. If you want to take your guitar skills to the next level find...
