McDSP joins the Propellerhead Rack Extension family

Pro Tools users will surely know the name McDSP. They’ve been producing plugins for Native and HD systems that are some of the most respected and desired out there. And when you hear them it’s easy to see why. McDSP’s attention to fidelity and sonic character is second to none. Now the legendary McDSP sound joins the Reason rack with three new Rack Extensions. We spoke with Colin McDowell, the McD in McDSP, to learn about what brought him over to Reason and what he’s got in the works.

New Elektron Instrument Unveiled…!

Elektron had already told us they would bring something new to the NAMM show. And today they are giving us (and you) just a little sneak preview of what to expect. If we look closely, it appears to be an Octatrack with colorful drumpads (like we saw on some of the NI instruments). However, Elektron is sticking to their usual practise of NOT saying anything more then this. We’ll have to wait til NAMM!

Dennis Sands and the Focusrite RedNet 6 MADI-to-Dante Bridge

Dennis Sands and the Focusrite RedNet 6 MADI-to-Dante Bridge

While outfitting the first dedicated film music mix room in the world with Dolby Atmos capability, multi-award-winning film scoring mixer Dennis Sands needed an elegant solution to connect the multi-channel surround processor to his monitor system.

Novation Bass Station II – Gearjunkies Review

The new Bass station II is the successor of the well respected Bass Station that came to light 21 years ago. I still remember the original Bass Station as a good sounding analog synthesizer, and a brilliant small midi controller that had its twerps with the pots but made up for its characteristic sound. During the renaissance of the analog synthesizer we have seen a lot of reissues but also some new designs with innovations that simply weren’t possible a few decades ago. The Bass station II is one of these. It still has the hands on approach you’d like to see with programming a synthesizer and added functionality for further tweaking with use of a function switch.
