For ADE, there’s always the possibility a visitor could come back the next year as a performer. To make this possible, Waves are making their ADE debut by introducing The Art Of The Mix, a four-day event series featuring mixing workshops led by some of dance music’s biggest stars including Dave Audé and Omid 16B. In between sessions, Yoni Leviatan of Waves will be demoing the Element synth and give visitors a chance to play it themselves.
Even though JBL are not that well know in Europe for their product line of reference monitors, unlike in the US, their new 3 series may help with this. The new 3 series are JBL entry level reference monitors that come in 2 models. The LSR305 with a 5″woofer and the LSR308 with a 8″woofer. We will test the LSR308 and compare them with the competitors in the same price range. To that extent the price range isn’t entry level for your average producer. But of course there is a difference in sound quality. So these monitors are more like the 2nd pair you’d buy if you learned your first monitors don’t cut it anymore.
Below are some of the new releases we have encountered this week on the Loops and Samples front. Just like the quality of the audio software we use these days the quality of the content we use (loops and samples) equally matches the high standards of this software. Below is this weeks selection.

Recently we showed you the video of the new Electrodyne 2501 pre amp. This week Pete’s Place informed us that the 2501 and the 2511 Equalizer are being launched. In January of 2009, Electrodyne and Pete’s Place Audio teamed up to bring back the classic Electrodyne brand in 500 Series module form with the launch of the 501 discrete two-stage studio preamp and 511 two-band inductor EQ. Now, almost five years later, the two companies have come together once again to offer dual mono-channel, 19-inch rack-mounted versions of both products known as the Electrodyne 2501 and 2511.
We heard some rumours about a new MASCHINE through the grapevine for a while now, but rumours are rumours. We were pretty excited, but also cautious if these rumours would carry any truth with them. But today, the rumours were confirmed by Native Instruments as they announce MASCHINE STUDIO and MASCHINE 2.0 – the new flagship groove production studio and next generation of MASCHINE software.
One of the major issues of getting a mix right is to know how well the mix translates on any given speaker system. How more worse it sounds the better in that case. That’s why I use the stock audio system in my car because it sounds abysmal which is perfect to check mixes. Also when your monitors aren’t that pristine, when you are listening to a mix, you’ll often miss out on details. The other way around applies as well. Even when you have a mastering grade sound system you may wonder how it will sound on a consumer grade sound system. Of course you can create your own impulse responses of various environments and use them with a impulse response plug-in to create this effect but that takes effort and time.
With the MOTU Artist Spotlight series, MOTU offers us an insight in the methods and workings of artists, DJs and producers who use their software and equipment. The most recent episode is with Virtual Boy and their use of MOTU audio interfaces and other hardware.

2013 marks the bicentenary of the birth of Italian composer Giuseppe Verdi, and to honour the occasion, the Fondazione Teatro La Fenice decided to perform Verdi’s famous opera ‘Otello’ in the stunning outdoor environment of the 15th century courtyard of the Palazzo Ducale, in the heart of Venice. The event revived a tradition of presenting outdoor performances at the Ducal Palace that ran from 1949-67, and the work itself is a passionate tribute to the city.

Hardware, and with that in mind, modules like the 500 series rack modules used to be the territory of the ‘high-end’ audio gear manufacturers. However, lately we saw a rising availability of these 500 series modules across the board (so to speak). We thought it would be a good plan to look into these 500 series modules and try out some of these modules and see what we would think of these.
