This is not a bunch of keys and synth instruments…. let’s checkout Paranormal Spectrums A freaky step into the dark side of sound and noise What is Paranormal [...]

Aight today I got something a lil different for ya, but my fellow crate diggers out there will be feeling this one. Sometimes you just need a “lil something” to throw into your tracks, not a full chorus or verse, but some random sound bites that add to the situation. We’ve all dug in records, [...]

Yep, it’s Friday…so get you a big ole plate and get ready for some Big Fish! Today I’m dipping back into some of that laid back, ambient, on the cloud funk! Downtempo/Ambient is one of my favorite types of music…there are no rules…you don’t need a super complex beat. It’s all about the sound and [...]

This is just a quick video I put together showing how to use sounds from beat thang virtual in Maschine. Of course it will work for other programs too, but Maschine has some features that makes it pretty easy and quick to do. A lot of folks that have BTV are always looking for ways [...]

Yo, ever since I bought Motu BPM I’ve been more interested in the sounds available from Motu and UVI. Probably because they can all be opened in BPM, either way, I’ve been checking them out. So far so good. Today I’m checking out one of Motu’s instruments, dedicated to electric keyboard sounds. The name of [...]

Yo, yall know I’m a huge fan of Maschine…but you also know I’ve recently become a huge fan of BPM as well. I love them both for different reasons. The hands on workflow of Maschine is un-matched. And I love how it handles sampling, editing samples, chopping, etc. But I also love the BPM sound [...]

Hey whasup, back with another one for you. Many people I talk to, especially those that come from the hardware background, are always looking for an instrument that can provide the variety and speed of access to quality sounds that you get when using hardware workstations like the fantom, triton, or motif. There’s been a [...]

Today I’m checking out another library/expansion from UVI Ever since I bought BPM a few weeks back I’ve been exploring more of the expansion libraries available for it. I can’t lie, I’m starting to really like what UVI/Motu is doing soundwise…it seems they don’t come up in conversations as much as other libraries. Maybe folks [...]
