Came across an interesting clip. Dog with perfect pitch! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6N9oX1AjHvc

Scientists Have Discovered Proof That Musicians Are Fundamentally Different From Everyone Else Their skills are literally in their DNA. The news: Contrary to what we were told growing up as we trudged to music lessons and spent hours working on our piano fingerings or flute exercises, practice...

This is nothing that you're going to expect!!!! http://www.youtube.com/user/MrSolidSnake745?feature=watch My favorite - the Superman theme! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2h9mwlAI7k&list=UURa1raJXF22KpZ8IknQpGEw&index=2&feature=plcp The Dr Who theme is also pretty amazing.

A very cool Youtube clip on the Roland Jupiter-80. Actually, the cool thing about the youtube is how they put it together - as a single multi-track performance. I must say the video editing is creative... http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=oGGGhWPHveQ

https://www.toontrack.com/products.asp?item=125 I'm highly offended by this! I know it's innovative and may be helpful to songwriters who are not keyboardists/pianist...but this????? Toontrack should just stick to making drums samples. But then again, drummers probably aren't too happy with...

I got my MOTU audio express interface and decided test and find out once and for all whether firewire 400 or USB 2.0 is faster. Background: USB 2.0 has a faster transfer speed (480 Mbps) compared to Firewire 400 (400 Mbps). But firewire is said to be faster as it is peer-to-peer, allowing...

Good article in Harmony Central showcasing the new keyboards in Musikmesse (Roland Jupiter-80, Yamaha MOX6/8, Nord Electro 3 etc). http://www.harmonycentral.com/community/industry-events/musikmesse/musikmesse-2011/blog/2011/04/06/messe-day-one-highlights-keyboards Link to the Jupiter-80 (Roland...

From the New York Times: In the age of YouTube, Pandora and Spotify, fans can watch millions of videos or listen to endless hours of music for free. But do those services make significant money for artists and record companies? Those questions became all the more interesting last week with...

Does anybody have any recommendations for reference-quality recording CDs for each genre (classical, pop, rock, jazz, vocals, etc)? My sound engineer friend told me in order to develop an ear for hearing mixes (so we know what to achieve during mixing and mixdown of tracks), we need to have a...

Anybody knows where I can send a Sans Amp DI Box for repair?

From the forum of TC Electronic: UAD seems to have the upper-hand in hardware plugins now. But with computers getting more and more powerful, I wonder how long does UAD has to go before they follow TC Electronic. I'm pretty sure there are a lot of angry Powercore users who invested a lot of...

Some interesting stuff, but not sure how much they are catered to the current market's needs. Korg: Kronos - more engines, smooth transition of patches without cutting off (finally, somebody decided to do something about this), the look reminds me of the T1 Roland: RD300NX (not surprising...

Protools 9... Sonar X1... now Cubase 6 (released Winter NAMM 2011 - just). http://www.steinberg.net/en/products/cubase/cubase6_start.html OK Cubase users, your turn! I really like the editing functions. VST expressions is really interesting. Tempo detection etc. All looks like real...

I know I've been keeping quiet about new pieces for a while (in fact for a few years!!!). In a discussion in another thread on mixing, Kongwee asked me to put a larger mixed version for discussion. I didn't want to as I was preparing for my pieces to be released in an album. But I thought, well...

For those who compose/write songs/sequence, how do you do mixing? All along, I've always been mixing directly from my midi tracks - ie do all my mixing from my softsamplers/softsynths via midi, and mix down directly to audio. I didn't realise that this is not the ideal - as there are a lot of...

I upgraded my Sonar 8.5 to the new version (X1 Producer) the very first day it was released (even before they sent me the email about the release). I was very hesitant to post anything about it because the first few weeks was quite a nightmare for me. There were some big bugs in the software...
