FL Studio (formerly “Fruityloops”) is a DAW by Image-Line currently only available for Windows. The program’s strength is its pattern-based philosophy which it inherited from its MIDI drum machine pedigree. The program has continued to evolve over the years, and now has features that rival other popular DAWs. The different editions of the program range [...]...]]> http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/audiotuts/~3/BIkekuVPBRw/ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/audiotuts/~3/BIkekuVPBRw/ 3 September 2010, 3:55 pm

Today’s Ableton tutorial is all about finding or creating inspiration on those days when writer’s block is kicking your ass.  Anyone that writes music on a regular basis is going to run into this problem once in a while, but for working professionals, simply choosing not to write isn’t always an option. If you have [...]...]]> http://nickstutorials.com/ableton-live-quick-tip-decluttering-your-arrangement-with-consolidate/ http://nickstutorials.com/ableton-live-quick-tip-decluttering-your-arrangement-with-consolidate/
Today’s Ableton Live tutorial is all about keeping your arrange view neat and uncluttered.  After moving, splitting, and rearranging clips on the timeline, it can start looking pretty messy.  This gets especially bad when you’ve shifted the start point of a clip to overlap either the start or end of a natural loop or phrase.

Resampling is an incredibly simple yet powerful technique in digital music production.  The idea is straighforward:  Record the output of one or multiple tracks into a new, editable audio file.  It’s not much different than rendering your composition, except here you’re actually going to incorporate the new file into the current song. I employ this [...]...]]> http://nickstutorials.com/ableton-live-quick-tip-demoing-note-velocity-values/ http://nickstutorials.com/ableton-live-quick-tip-demoing-note-velocity-values/
When you’re programming drum lines, one of the easiest and most effective things you can do is add velocity automation.  These subtle changes in velocity can take an otherwise bland loop and add a more organic feel.  If you combine this with editing your note triggers off the grid, you’ve got a simple recipe for [...]...]]> http://nickstutorials.com/ableton-live-quick-tip-the-basics-of-parameter-automation/ http://nickstutorials.com/ableton-live-quick-tip-the-basics-of-parameter-automation/
Ableton Live is a simple-looking tool on its face, presenting only the essential functions in an explicit way.  However, if you dig a little deeper you’ll find all sorts of clever functionality that can make your music production life a whole lot easier.

  What music gives you that special summer feeling? It is of course an individual thing, but for me good downtempo sounds like summer.

Brazil's Felguk have been making serious waves with their ballsy, banging brand of prog-tinged electro house, jumping from headlining slots across their native country to successful North American tours, slots on Vendetta comps, and now even a remix for Madonna herself. (Perhaps it was the name of the duo's label, Giant Pussy Records, that sealed the deal for the perennially hot 'n' bothered pop star.)

Beatport is a crazy place. I don’t want to start an ego massage at the risk of turning this place into a day spa, but the creative types are bountiful within these walls.

The all-new studio rekkid from DJ Fresh drops this week. To coincide with the 10-track release of brand new goodness, the first single ‘Gold Dust’ gets a little promo with the help of this video. The album rings out with the kind of dnb that the former Bad Company (UK) member is known for, with the exception of two tracks that exercise a little dubstep flavor. Fresh invites some vocal talent to lend a hand as well, like Koko a.k.a.

We continue our ongoing feature on French electronic music with an interview with Don Rimini. Despite his frequent releases on the Swiss label Mental Groove—and despite his artist alias, a reference to the seaside resort on the Adriatic Rivera, known for decades for its over-the-top nightclub culture—the Parisian producer is very much a product of the Rex Club, Roulé, and other icons of the French scene.

I love the ARP 2600 synthesizer. The mighty Macbeth M5 was a new incarnation (there were differences I know). Software-wise the closest you can get is the TimewARP 2600 from Way Out Ware.

The best marriage between a specific synthesizer and artist has to be Vince Clarke and his Sequential Circuits Pro One. You hear layers of the Pro-One on the wonderful sounding Yaz albums.

Un-Convention have teamed up with the creators of iconic indie-rock [...]...]]> http://www.newmusicstrategies.com/2010/02/14/mind-the-furniture/ http://www.newmusicstrategies.com/2010/02/14/mind-the-furniture/ 14 February 2010, 1:03 pm
Photo by theothegrey We’re doing a bit of remodelling around here at New Music Strategies. In fact, remodelling is the wrong word. This is the online equivalent of moving into new premises, getting new desks and phones, ordering new stationery, and setting up for business. It’s all a bit new: we’ve just expanded from a sole trader [...]...]]> http://www.newmusicstrategies.com/2010/01/18/brian-eno-on-records-and-blubber/ http://www.newmusicstrategies.com/2010/01/18/brian-eno-on-records-and-blubber/ 18 January 2010, 3:02 pm
This coincides nicely with a lecture I gave this evening at Westminster University to a group of MA Music Business Management students. In an interview with Paul Morley, Brian Eno says: “I think records were just a little bubble through time and those who made a living from them for a while were lucky. There is no [...]...]]> http://www.newmusicstrategies.com/2010/01/15/introducing-new-music-strategies/ http://www.newmusicstrategies.com/2010/01/15/introducing-new-music-strategies/ 15 January 2010, 9:17 am
The team at New Music Strategies For the past few years, New Music Strategies has been a blog about music on the internet. And the need for me to do that has changed as time has gone on. As I’ve hinted over the past couple of months, it’s time for a transformation – and New Music Strategies [...]...]]> http://www.newmusicstrategies.com/2009/11/09/just-checking-in-to-say-hi/ http://www.newmusicstrategies.com/2009/11/09/just-checking-in-to-say-hi/ 9 November 2009, 8:20 am
Hi. How’s it going? I’ve been getting some emails recently from worried New Music Strategies readers. Some of them asking after my health (there’s nothing wrong with my health – but people assume the worst), and others prompting for a return to the blog so they can read more content. It’s been a good couple of [...]...]]> http://www.newmusicstrategies.com/2009/09/05/this-is-islet-the-making-of-a-fan-site/ http://www.newmusicstrategies.com/2009/09/05/this-is-islet-the-making-of-a-fan-site/ 5 September 2009, 9:07 am
Islet live. Photo by @edhombre I’m at Un-Convention in Swansea this weekend. Lots of talk with lots of interesting people about the independent and grassroots DIY music sector. It’s held in a cafe/bar called Monkey in the central city, and in the evening, bands play. I’m here with a bunch of people I know from these sorts [...]...]]> http://www.newmusicstrategies.com/2009/09/02/the-broken-record-series/ http://www.newmusicstrategies.com/2009/09/02/the-broken-record-series/ 2 September 2009, 7:39 am
Goldsmith University MA students Nicolle Smith and Stefan Peters have just finished work on a short web-documentary series called Broken Record. They interviewed me for the series, and there’s a lot of stuff in here that is pertains to my Music As Culture interests and the Deleting Music book as much as it does to the [...]...]]> http://www.newmusicstrategies.com/2009/08/17/youre-looking-at-it-wrong/ http://www.newmusicstrategies.com/2009/08/17/youre-looking-at-it-wrong/ 17 August 2009, 2:23 am
This great data visualisation from the NY Times comes to us via a really fascinating website called Information is Beautiful. It represents the sales in billions of today’s dollars of the various music formats over time. They claim it represents the dwindling death knell of the music industry.

You can download Imaginary Robot Ninja Assistant here, and the whole Slow Food album here. Who doesn’t have an imaginary robot ninja assistant? Fixing stuff, being awesome, ass-kicking when needed, and, uhm, assisting… When I finally get my real Robot Ninja Assistant, it will sing like this track. And I’d understand every word it sang.

OK, I’m going to interrupt my ‘track by track’ breakdown of my own new album to tell you about a GREAT record by my lovely friend Laura Kidd, AKA She Makes War.

[sorry for the break in posts - was away at Greenbelt over the weekend] You can download Growing Up And Moving On here, or the whole Slow Food album here. This was the first thing we recorded. It is, I think the most edited too… Perhaps. Nerves? Expectations? Trip and I met 11 years ago.

You can download Grown-Ups At Play from here, and the whole Slow Food album from here. The simplest tune on the record in terms of the techological wizardry. There’s one little loop towards the end, but most of it is just Trip and I playing, with him hitting some deep, deep bass pedals (srsly, you’re not [...]...]]> http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SteveLawson/~3/qFkH0D3t9JU/ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SteveLawson/~3/qFkH0D3t9JU/ 26 August 2010, 4:13 am
Click here to download The Upward Spiral. And here to download the whole ‘Slow Food’ album. It was really tricky to choose the opener for the album, and this wasn’t the obvious first choice, as it has a kind of false start… it feels likes it’s going to be all big and ambient, then Trip hints [...]...]]> http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SteveLawson/~3/MsnnTayHMjM/ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SteveLawson/~3/MsnnTayHMjM/ 25 August 2010, 12:00 am
10 years ago today, I received a shipment of CDs from ICC duplication, to the Greenbelt Festival in Cheltenham – it was my first solo album, And Nothing But The Bass, and the start of my solo recording career.

Here it is! If you follow me on Twitter, you’ll be all-too-familiar with ‘it’ – the first of two duo albums with Trip Wamsley. I blogged about them here, and at the time thought they’d both be EPs. Well, I’m not sure about Trip’s release, but this one has grown into a full album – all [...]...]]> http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SteveLawson/~3/4l3khQvhEXw/ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SteveLawson/~3/4l3khQvhEXw/ 9 August 2010, 12:00 am
Over the years, I’ve sent literally hundreds of CDs to magazines and radio, in the hope of reviews and airplay. And I’ve had a quite large amount of both: Some high profile radio play (Late Junction on Radio 3 and The Freak Zone and BBC Introducing on 6Music), Some great magazine reviews (see the press quotes section [...]...]]> http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SteveLawson/~3/LN-KPUu6Wbg/ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SteveLawson/~3/LN-KPUu6Wbg/ 6 August 2010, 12:00 am
So, does the ‘massive downloader’ scenario I outlined in the previous post account for all download traffic? Of course not. My own torrenting experience has been almost exclusively to get digital copies of music I own physical hard copies of. For me, torrenting wasn’t a replacement for buying music, rather it was a replacement for buying [...]...]]> http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SteveLawson/~3/r5G561IuZ7I/ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SteveLawson/~3/r5G561IuZ7I/ 4 August 2010, 12:00 am
Trip and I have been friends for over a decade. We met at the NAMM Show in LA in ‘99, and I was immediately a fan of his music. I doubt he heard anything I was on at the time – I was still 11 months away from my first ever solo gig, and he’d [...]...]]> http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/musformation/EquX/~3/0hhcyhRLLUE/9710-music-intelligence-or-lack-thereof-dump---tip-off-the-old-tuesday-5pm-edition.html http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/musformation/EquX/~3/0hhcyhRLLUE/9710-music-intelligence-or-lack-thereof-dump---tip-off-the-old-tuesday-5pm-edition.html 7 September 2010, 1:59 pm
