We worked with artist, Headsnack, to create a video that showcases how he created his H910 Dual Theme Song video. The song is available for free download on Soundcloud. The Eventide H910 Dual is an iconic plug-in that meshes delay, feedback & pitch-shifting to create some truly unique sounds.

The ultra compact MAUI 5 weighs in at about 24 lbs while delivering 800 watts of peak power and a maximum SPL of 120 dB. Providing both sound reinforcement with extended coverage and feedback resistant monitoring the subwoofer base and 3-piece column system assembles in seconds with custom multipin connectors. Check out this video created by Training Snacks in which we go through all the features and show how easy it is to break down. If you're in the market for a PA system, pick one up here. Tverb was developed in collaboration with legendary producer, engineer and musician Tony Visconti. The plugin was inspired by the iconic sound of the title track of David Bowie’s twelfth studio album Heroes. Tverb is a faithful recreation of Visconti's three microphone technique used with Bowie on "Heroes" at Hansa Studios, Berlin. With the Tverb plugin you can run your tracks through this legendary room with one close mic and two movable stereo room mics with control over the response characteristics of the room. Available for purchase or as part of Eventide's Ensemble Subscription, a really cool way to use every Eventide plug-in for a small fee on a recurring basis.
Martin Molin is an inventor that designed the Wintergatan Marble Machine. It has to be seen to be believed. Eventide has just announced a killer deal on the secret weapon of reverb, Blackhole. From now through the end of March, 2016, Blackhole can be bought for only $49! Most reverbs are earth-bound and constrained by the physics of the real world. Eventide’s Blackhole reverb breaks the rules by allowing you to create virtual spaces that could never exist in our reality. At large sizes, its soft attack and lingering, harmonic tails allow it to really shine on guitars, strings and pads. At small sizes, those very same qualities can help add an angelic sheen to vocals or turn a simple drum track into an otherworldly rhythm section. Ableton Live version 9.6 includes Link, a technology that keeps devices in time over a wireless network. As long as you're on the same network, you can sync multiple computers with Live as well as Link-compatible iOS devices (the list of these keeps growing). Sounds pretty slick but watch Matt's video to see how fun this could be. Since the early 70s, Eventide has been known as a leader of studio rack gear effects and the highest quality stomp boxes. Although professional producers and guitarists know their name, many electronic dance & hiphop heads aren't familiar with them. They just released Anthology X, a span of 40 years of technology (they created the first ever digital delay) in native AAX, AU, & VST format plug-ins. In this video we created a down-tempo track and only used Eventide plug-ins. If you want to try out Anthology X, they have a fully-functional 30 day demo (it doesn't time out or introduce unwanted noise). Do we really need another virtual piano? Yes, we do. This is the first piano we've seen where you can manipulated ambient noise such as that of the pianist sitting and shuffling around at the instrument. It's dark and moody, and perfect for scoring or creating haunting tracks. Check out Matt Cellitti as he takes us through the features.
We recently had a look at the beautiful, silver-finish, DDJ-SZ. It's not only built like a tank, but features the superior audio quality that high-end Pioneer equipment is known for. They've thought of everything for this one and if you use Serato, its a no-brainer on picking one up to take your DJ sets to the next level.
This is a professional-quality controller/all-in-one system with 4 channels. Its not only specifically designed for Serato DJ Software, it also combines key features from Pioneer's CDJ and DJM series, making it the perfect choice for those experienced with CDJs looking to leave those ancient discs behind in favor of digital files. Side note, regardless of what system you use, TrainingSnacks urges all digital DJs to try and use Wav or 320kbps MP3s so that your audience not only hears what you're playing, but FEELS it! Upon trying this unit, you'll feel the build quality. Every knob and fader is firm yet smooth. The CDJ-style jog wheel response was immediate and accurate, as is the display which shows the position of the track. The EQs are highly useable for killing frequencies to build momentum in your set, and the onboard effects feature a quality not found on less expensive solutions. We're talking lush reverbs and other-worldly delays. Calling the DDJ-SZ fun is an understatement. Playing around with the 16 multi-color LED rubber pads (which can be assigned to a variety of on-the-fly remix functions), made us feel like improvisational musical masters. Chop up samples, play cue points like an MPC (the velocity sensitivity is super responsive) or perform tight rolls. The way it integrates with Serato will make you wonder why you didn't buy this the day it came out. It was easy hooking this up to a computer and the built-in audio interface had no noticeable latency. This didn't surprise us as Pioneer is known for having the best audio quality in the DJ world. One thing to be said though is YOU DON'T NEED A COMPUTER to use this. It can be used as a standalone mixer, making it a great transition for old-school DJs. Best of all is the silver finish is exclusive to AMS, so having one of these will set yourself apart from all the other DJs that own it in traditional black. Here's a list of some of the features:
The Whirlwind Direct 2 is a dual channel direct box great for stereo, line-level instruments into a mixing console. This box is perfect for keyboards, DJ mixers, audio interfaces, and drum machines. It can also function as two discreet mono DIs which can be used for an acoustic-electric guitar and bass with active pickups, at the same time. |
