Features Mobile Recording
Whether you’re using one of the increasing number of hand-held recorders to gather ‘in-the-field’ recordings or exploring some of the more intriguing applications being developed for the iPhone or iPod Touch, mobile recording and production has never been more accessible, offering us a host of new creative possibilities.
Record Preview
implementation of audio recording in Reason is something that loyal users of the software have been crying out for - and now Propellerhead has answered the calls, releasing not just a bolt-on extra for Reason, but a fully fledged DAW in its own right. We take a look at how the application is progressing and report on the main features and functionality that will no doubt lure yet more fans to the Prop’s stable.
Ten Minute Masters Ring Modulation
Ring modulation is one of the most aggressive and distinctive-sounding treatments on offer. Grant Bridgeman explains why.
Pitch Manipulation
Sloppy, out-of-tune performances are a thing of the past: modern pitch-shifting technology can put them right in the studio. Mark Cousins gets manipulative.
This Month’s Workshops
Sonar 8
Sonar is as versatile as you are. To prove it, Brian Smithers ventures into the wilds of nature to create an ambient track based on natural sounds.
Pro Tools 8
Speed up the process of getting drums sounding the way you want them with some adept use of aux channels, EQ and compression. Mike Hillier shows you how.
Ableton Live 8
To get the most out of your software, it’s important that you understand how to best tailor it to your needs. Hollin Jones explains his preferences…
Logic Pro 8
Following last month’s detailed exploration of reverb, we take a closer look at impulse response sampling. Mark Cousins takes in the ambience.
