Last night, Trent Reznor won a Academy Award (Oscar) for the original soundtrack he made together with Atticus Ross for The Social Network. In honour of that achievement we are posting a video where Melena Ryzik visits Trent Reznor in his home studio to discuss his work on the Oscar nominated score of “The Social Network.” originally posted by the New York Times.
Silly title of this post, we know. Because we assume you know what Soundcloud is or else you have been living under a rock for the past 2 years (just kidding, … don’t hate us!). But SoundCloud is a online audio platform that lets music professionals receive, send and distribute their music. Primarily SoundCloud provides an efficient and simple way for music professionals to exchange music they are working on in private settings allowing for easy collaboration and communication prior to a public release.
If you want one, you have to act pretty fast. Only 100 CMI-30As will be made. They will be sold directly by Fairlight Instruments and shipped anywhere in the world from Sydney, Australia (at purchaser’s expense). Authorised agents will provide support and service in most major territories.
I came across this video below today. At first I thought this would be an attempt of a hoax. But then again it was hosted at the official Audi Youtube account, plus it has been released in may 2010, so… I guess it’s real. Audi surely takes its ‘corporate sound‘ very seriously. Audi took almost one and a half-year of development to create a virtual “AUDI Sound Studio”. This ‘sound studio’ is the basis for all creatives, composer and sound designer to create the AUDI sound.

I like this! Jakob Lee (Denmark) performs a partly improvised song with just Ableton Live 8, Two novation launchpads, Korg R3, Firebox, and a Mackie Mixer.

Creative minds, … creative minds! Mario Jurisch (a.k.a. Synth-Project) has just finished his latest project. A hardware controller for the iMS-20 app for the iPad. The controller is appropriately named MC-20 controller. Look at the pictures and you will agree he did a great job.
Gearjunkies good friend Michel Osenbruggen, maybe better known as Synth.nl, is one of those person we can truly call a natural ‘Gearjunkie’. If you look at his pictures of his studio then you really know exactly why we call him that. If you are into analog vintage gear, you’ll probably think he is working in a ‘vintage gear heaven’. He has a large, extensive collection of synthesizers. From way (… way!) back to the modern classics! One of his latest projects was the built of a drum module based on the schematics from the ‘Electronic Drum Cookbook‘ by Thomas Henry. The video below shows us the results.
