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 [...]

Back with another soundhound, today we checking out some orchestra samples. This is the first pack I’ve reviewed from Diginoiz, but I’m not new to them, they are a spinn-off label of fatloud, run by one of the producers for fatloud. So though this is the first official Diginoiz review, this isn’t the first time [...]

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 [...]

I get a lot of folks askin me about how to use ableton live like an mpc. Specifically how to play your chops so they cut each other off. I also cover how to make your own custom presets for when chopping samples. If you want to chop and automatically add fx and such, you [...]

Once again we are back with some more samples for ya. This time, I’m checking out a company that I’ve been a customer of for a while. I was a customer when they first started selling samples on eBay and now they’ve turned into one of the premiere sample providers online today. Motion Samples provides [...]

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 [...]

So, I’ve been learning and playing with Maschine from Native Instruments…I must say it’s awesome. I’m currently using the beta update so as soon as the full update is released I’ll give you my review. But I’m still going to show you little tips, tricks, and some of the workflow. In this video I just [...]

I’m a hardware guy at heart… It took me many years to move over to software. Reason being, most of it just didn’t “flow” like I wanted. The instruments and plugins have been high quality for a while, but I hadn’t found a sequencer good enuff to replace my mpc. An environment to bring all [...]
