Loopmasters artist series has hit it’s 100th release.
Yee-haw!
To celebrate this, the entire artist series sells for 20% off until the end of this month (May 31st).
It’s a great chance to stock up on some quality sounds by many of the biggest players in this game.
I hand picked a few items you might like, so here goes…
(BTW if you’re not looking to buy anything, download the free batch of samples from each pack.)
Remember Angus MacGyver?
I’ve just realized many of you may be too young for that!
Anyway, he was my childhood hero.
This is probably one of the best tips I can ever give to you.
So let’s stir things up a bit.
Are you an aspiring/unsigned artist?
I need YOU to submit me music.
Out of the submissions I get, I will choose one tune to mix (free of charge).
A while back Loxy and I shared a tune called “Kernel” as a free download to celebrate the release of the Loxy & Resound sample pack on Loopmasters.
Not only that – we also shared the Logic project files so that you could pick our brains and see how it was made.
But it’s obscure science to say the least… We don’t roll obvious!
So now it’s time to break it down and answer your questions about the project…
Coming up with ideas is not a problem for me.
Remembering them all is!
Distortion and compression have more in common than you might think. Read more
Drum sounds have a feature that is not always apparent..
When it’s right, it very much contributes to the overall harmonic feel of your track.
Likewise, if ignored your mix can sound “off” and you’re left frustrated as you can’t pinpoint the problem.
Can you guess what I’m talking about?
Sun Tzu said it 2500 years back in “The Art Of War”:
The quality of decision is like the well-timed swoop of a falcon which enables it to strike and destroy its victim.
The mix is not unlike the battlefield…
There’s lots of fighting going on!
But what is the highest point of skill?
If you’re after a great, free analogue-style EQ, look no further. Read more
I wanted to remind you of something that is easily forgotten in the midst of creative frenzy.
Many folks are missing out by not acknowledging this fact… Even though it’s essential info for anyone wanting to sound LARGE.
We’ve all been there: You want to make music, and you try, but nothing good comes out of it. It just won’t happen no matter how hard you try….
Time for another round of reader questions. Thanks for sending them in and remember you can always send your questions through the contact page, Facebook or Twitter.
I always preach the “rather cut than boost” mentality with EQ…
And it works really well for precision tasks…
But there’s another, very different way to EQ as well.
Most of us don’t have the luxury of a completely neutral listening environment. Read more
I gave a spin to this new free compressor plugin recently. And it turned out to be so nice that I have no option but to share it with you here. Read more
In the aftermath of finishing our album “Burning Shadows” for Exit Records last year… We found ourselves in a funny situation. Read more
About 7 months of the blog have passed now and I couldn’t be happier about how things are looking at the moment. The website has grown steadily. Even though my schedule has been very busy and I don’t have the time to carry out all the ideas… A growing number of you seem to be finding the blog a valuable resource.
I was recently speaking about understanding what is essential with one of my coaching clients. He came up with a great excersice and we thought it would be good to share it here on the blog as well.
