Dave Aude is a producer and remixer with a very impressive list of releases, productions and awards for his work in the electronic music world. Many renowned artists rely on his skills on programming, professionalism and beats!
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.
Far from the distractions and pressures of the big city, the picturesque German town of Heidelberg has fostered a surprising number of musicians who have made their mark outside of rigid genre conventions. 1970s krautrock legends Guru Guru and house pioneer Move D still live and work in the medieval town with the castle on the hill. Add to that list LOPAZZ & Casio Casino, a Heidelberg production team who freely mix live instruments with electronics and are equally adventurous when turning out crafty, floor-filling club tracks or composing evocative soundtracks for globe-trotting documentaries.
In the week his debut album Long Way Down was released, Brit Award-winning singer-songwriter Tom Odell played a packed-out set on the John Peel Stage at Glastonbury. The crystal clear sound of a Yamaha CL5 digital console at front of house helped inspire many in the audience to buy the album afterwards… sending it straight to No.1 in the UK chart.

So here is a pick out of the ton of effects that are included in Komplete Ultimate 9 suite. Just to be clear, there is not a seperate ‘effects’ bundle. This is a review of the effects that come with the Komplete suite!
With the release of Logic X (and Ableton Live 9 earlier this year) the call for a 64bit AU version of this popular software synth grew by the day. The Sylenth1 synth is among many (EDM) producers one of the most used synth instrument. We noticed that many of them were requesting this 64bit version. Last week we asked Lennard if and when an update would be arriving. This morning Lennar made an official statement (see below).

He may not be a household name but if you grew up in a certain era, you know his music. A founding member of classic rockers Heart, Roger Fisher‘s opening riff on “Barracuda” has been a prerequisite lick for every fledgling rock guitarist for more than a generation.

The AlphaSphere is a new electronic musical instrument and controller which reinterprets the way we interact with sound. Its distinct design is made up of 48 pressure sensitive pads which form a modular spherical structure. Sound is triggered when you tap the pad, apply more pressure and you can start to mould and manipulate the sound further. Apply parameters to the pad-depth such as MIDI CC data, aftertouch, and pitch-bend to make your music truly expressive.
