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. Heavyocity, the sound design company that brought you DAMAGE (included in Native Instruments Komplete) has just released a free sample pack. It features over 2GB of sounds from their virtual instruments DM-307 & AEON Collection.
DM-307 contains modular synth drums, live percussion, and cinematic hits. The AEON Collection features melodic synth instruments, arpeggiated instruments, cutting edge loops, and more. Just click here to sign up and you'll receive instructions on how to download this free 2GB loop pack. Please follow @trainingsnacks for more free sounds and tutorials. This video will teach you what phase cancellation & phase shifting are, as well as how to fix these issues using Eventide's Precision Time Align plug-in. Printed MIDI is a combination of printed capacitive touch, MIDI processing, and BlueTooth. It can potential turn any surface into a MIDI controller as demonstrated by DJ QBert's album cover. It uses Apple MIDI Bluetooth protocol and can be used to control a variety of MIDI enabled applications on computer, smartphone, an tablet. We think it's downright bananas. Trainer extraordinaire, Matt Cellitti just got Native Instruments "Flesh" and shows us how he messed around with it, the first 5 minutes of ever using it. Seems like a really cool beat gridded sampler that manipulates audio akin to a few other programs we've seen, but in a slick NI fashion. We can't wait to get our hands on it! Is this the future of music production? Native Instruments just released this teaser for their upcoming iMaschine 2 iOS software. Looks pretty interesting for a handheld method of getting ideas down quickly. Here are a few short videos in which Marcello Cyro, sound designer for We Can Do Post in Brazil, shows us how he uses Eventide plugins for film and cartoons. His main priority it to enhance the story through sound.
This synthesizer buyer's guide will teach you the ins and outs of multiple methods of synthesis; along with the differences between analog, analog emulation, and software synths.
One of our resident content writers, a hiphop producer known as Headsnack, created this quick unboxing video for Ableton Push 2. It's nothing special as far as unboxing videos go, but the beat is pretty wicked so we wanted to show him support by posting it. _Click here to learn more about Ableton Push 2. |
