This is the first time I have been able to use umlauts in a post title. Index that Google! Günther Levi is a sensation in Sweeden and I can really see why. There is so much lip gloss, black clothing and lyrics that it truly puts him at the top of the music game. It’s [...]
If you have ever longed for the stereophonic delights of vinyl with the convenience of a compact disc format, you’re prayers have now been answered. Just imagine the possibilities, playing both sides scratching in analog and digital format. I took the liberty of looking up the artist who created this (or at least the music that [...]
What do you get when you have a lot of time on your hands, have an extra Wii Nunchuck and a KORG Monotron? You utilize the motion capabilities of the chuck to control part of the wave form and the joystick to change other properties. This thing is really cool and could give Nintendo some [...]
Turns out they are on tour and since I didn’t catch them the last time I thought it would be cool to catch them. Pretty cheap show and I must say for a very stylized group that I took as more of a fad at first – I think they still have lasting relevance and [...]
Sweet little effects processor for production or DJ use. Being able to actually drag your finger to utilize the effects does make it more interesting than just tweaking a knob, and a little more fun too. I have a video below of this thing in action and it is really cool. This is also on [...]
Now I really consider this technically cheating because with real turntables you can’t visualize the waveform anywhere except your head. So to simplify and to make it look cool Attigo has made a touchscreen interface to actually mix/scratch and do everything else with waveforms with sounds that simulate a real turntable. So check out the [...]
I have been geeking out on a lot of instrument mods and beat machine stuff lately and I can say this will be one of a few items that I have found. A sweet mod to your guitar to play with time/delay effects in real time creatively with a touchpad. This is really starting to [...]
I love ear shredding rock and there are few who do that as well as Slash. Since I have a recent fascination with vinyl, anything and everything that I can test out on my shiny new record player gets a nod. I mean, I’m not going to pick out crap vinyl. So I highly recommend [...]
SYNTH STATION is the first iPhone/iPod touch app from Akai Professional. This virtual production studio gives you three virtual-analog synths with three oscillators each and 50 drum kits with a sequencer. You can create exactly the tones you like and then use the filters, oscillators, and arpeggiator to shape, texture, and add rhythm to your [...]
The man in black could be honored in many different ways but now you can have a great gift box set for an awesome price. I have a GILT MAN membership because I like getting really cool stuff at a discount but this time, I really think they are out of their minds. They have [...]
I just found this as a banner ad on my site to be honest and I had to know what it did. It combines a midi sequencer and a groove box into one simple Maschine. So lets say you want to control your recording interface with it: done. You want to use your own samples [...]
A compact keyboard sampler that you can play to your heart’s content The compact and powerful Korg “micro” series is now joined by an incredibly fun-to-use performance sampler. Announcing the Korg microSAMPLER, a keyboard sampler that lets you enjoy easy-to-use full-featured sampling, a loop sequencer, and internal effects all with an intuitive interface that’s [...]
Rock your shirt off. This shirt plugs into a mini amp that you can clip on to your belt or pants and plays all major chords. Volume goes to 11, of course. GET IT HERE: http://www.thinkgeek.com/tshirts-apparel/interactive/c498/
This is a really unique and great preamp for your home studio. Based on the classic Bill Putnam 610 mic pre, the vintage sound used on many classic recordings can now be had by all for a really good price. It also features a Teletronix LA-2A-style T4 Opto-Compressor which is easy to dial in a [...]
The Technics 1200′s have a new partner in black. The standard it DJ/Club or otherwise just good for anything turntable now has a precision molded die-cast aluminum cabinet that brings the silver more up to date. GET IT HERE: Technics SL-1210M5G Pro Turntable, Black
In my opinion the best MPC. Sure you can get more MIDI outs and more options on a 5000, but this looks cool, it’s relatively portable (and more versatile than a 500), and the JJOS (http://www7a.biglobe.ne.jp/~mpc1000/) makes the interface that much better. Buy it, make some beats. GET IT HERE: Akai MPC1000 MIDI Production Center Sampler, [...]
You don’t rock until you play this. An SG is cool but the black one is much cooler. Chrome hardware, Tune-O-Matic bridge, and action faster that cheap porn. This guitar sounds fantastic loud with lots of distortion and played behind the head. GET IT HERE: Gibson SG Standard Electric Guitar, Black
