Yo what’s good fam! It’s been a while since I reviewed something from UVI Soundsource, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t been using their products. Truth is, 8 out of 10 times something from this company makes it into my music I dig em….no need to hide that Today I’m doing a review on their [...]

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, just a quick vid for ya today. I got my update for BPM yesterday so I got it installed last night and today I just messed around with setting up the custom mapping. It’s really deep, you can map pretty much anything, makes it very hands on now. They also added the Beatbox [...]

You all know I’ve been using Maschine for a while, and one question I get quite a bit is how to lay out a song using scenes. It’s a little different than traditional song mode in a beat machine… where you just put a pattern in a list and tell it how many times to [...]

Still exploring Motu BPM, making a beat using just the factory sounds this time, no expansions or anything. Everything in here comes from the factory library. It’s a nice little workstation, with the expansion packs it becomes even more powerful, despite some little quirks hear and there, I like it. I find myself opening it [...]

You know I’m always looking for the best tools, that get out of the way and let you work. One of my gripes with the current choice of drum sampling software is their inability to understand how simply we want to layer sounds. Many folks just want to drag a sound to a pad, then [...]

So you ready for another set of samples to be reviewed? This time I’m on some Arab music….I love ethnic samples. Problem is, I don’t like clearing samples from records, and I don’t feel right not clearing them. So I stay on the lookout for royalty free sample food. Arabian Breaks, inspiration all day and [...]

This is another video showing how native instruments maschine is not just a sampler or beat machine, but that it can be used just like a workstation or keyboard. Instead of using it by sampling records or songs into it, I am using the internal sounds and creating music like I would on a fantom [...]
