• Making Your Microphone Placement Work – Basix10 March 2010, 8:00 am
  Miking up an instrument isn’t an easy thing. It’s not like a digital camera where you point towards what you want to capture and then click. Super cool vacation photo! You might not end up with a great photo, but you can certainly make it better afterwards. Not to offend photographers, but in audio, if [...]...
• Quick Tip: Lock Your Chords to Your Groove9 March 2010, 11:53 pm
  It’s easy to lock some piano chords to a drum beat or groove of your choice by using a few simple tricks. We’ll make a simple beat, paint in some piano chords and then lock them together so they groove together by side-chaining. Side-chaining has been talked about extensively, but this trick is a good [...]...

Overuse of simple on-beat or off-beat basslines is one way [...]...

Or perhaps you’re working on a free jazz album and want to give every player complete [...]...

• The Covert Operators “Clip Mapper”
  I've been speaking with Bjorn of The Covert Operators on and off for the last few weeks about his latest Max4Live project, the "Clip Mapper."  He described it to me in broad terms but I must admit that the details a were a bit fuzzy for me.  I'm not a Max/MSP guy by any stretch [...]...

  Matt Pacyga and I have teamed up to release some free sample downloads resulting from our respective field recording experiments.  Matt has put together a superb set of crunches and splats which originally emanated from his kitchen and some very unlucky food items.  The recordings are high quality and super-creative, so I highly encourage you [...]...
• Going the Extra Mile for Unique Timbres: Part 2
  Continuing from the last post, let’s take a look at some more sound-shaping tools that will aid us in our quest to develop unique timbres.  As usual, I’ll be using Ableton Live to illustrate when needed.   Gate Combined with Effects Automation Although generally used as a corrective device to remove excess noise between sounds like drum hits [...]...
• Going the Extra Mile for Unique Timbres: Part 1
  I thought it would be fun to put together a small list of useful timbral-shaping tools. They are presented in no particular order along with a few words on how I like to use them. I tend to refer to a similar list in my head whenever I’m trying to come up with a creative [...]...
• Letting Necessity Guide Your Sound Design
  This time I’d like to focus on how an instrument or sound effect develops along with the composition. Last week I mentioned that many device presets contain too much frequency content to easily fit into a mix with other instruments. This generally means that judicious use of subtractive EQ is required to tame these complex [...]...
• Keep Your Mix Clean
  Those who primarily use software to create their music often lack valuable perspective when it comes to composition, and this can have a detrimental effect on the resulting mixes.  I count myself in this group, and I only recently (within the last 2 years) became aware of what I was doing.  To get right to [...]...
• Creating an Abundance of New Sounds in Ableton Live
  I used to have a rather idealistic reaction to the use of random elements in music, asserting that this was somehow less than artistically pure and that a finished piece that was any less than 100% the result of conscious decision-making was incomplete at best.  As the years wore on, I realized that such a [...]...
• Writer’s Block? Read This.
  I’d like to lay out some tips on getting past writer’s block in all of its ugly forms whether it be apathy, procrastination, or just a frustrating lack of inspiration.  Staring at a blank sequencer timeline is one of the more miserable studio activities that I can think of, so let’s take a look at [...]...
• Keeping Your Composition Moving Forward With Freeze and Flatten
  Have you ever run into overcomplexity while arranging your latest piece of music? It happens to me all the time. It’s that phase of composition where you’ve got all kinds of automation going on, sweeping a filter here and increasing an effect trail there. In addition to automation data, you may have a dizzying array of chopped [...]...
• Listening to Your Environment and the 3 Building Blocks of Sound
  I’d like to touch on the importance of the artist’s experience of the surrounding world and how that experience informs their work.  In short:  Regardless of whether you compose pop music or generative ambient, having a grasp on how the world creates sound is useful knowledge when it comes to creating your own sounds. So what [...]...

  It is February in Dublin. Danilo Plessow, a skinny white 24-year-old DJ from Stuttgart, spins vinyl to a tightly packed dancefloor in the Crawdaddy section of the Pod nightclub in Harcourt Street. Now known as Motor City Drum Ensemble, Plessow has worked under several aliases including Hypster Wonkaz, Aphro Pzyko, and Inverse Cinematics (previously his most successful project and a joint creation with Joachim Tobias), before he launched MCDE last year.

• Inside the mind of Wolfgang Gartner9 March 2010, 2:12 pm
  Is there any producer with a keener eye for detail than Wolfgang Gartner? The meticulousness of the electro house producer from Austin, Texas, has made him a huge star within the genre, and helped him net eight Beatport No.1 records. Whilst most electro house producers opt for simplicity - a big bassline and a simple house loop will do, won't it? - Wolfgang Gartner throws layers of synths and FX into the mix, resulting in tracks that offer a multitude of build ups, bass holes, and hand-raising ...

The Rebel Rave tour coincides with a recent deal with Comcast (one...
• Villalobos, Luciano and Carl Craig on one release? Yep6 March 2010, 1:09 pm
  Cadenza's new release 'SeventyNine Remixes' is a techno fans wet dream - Chilean masters Ricardo Villalobos and Luciano have contributed remixes of 'Tahktok', taken from Mirko Loco's recent album. Detroit legend Carl Craig has penned a remix of 'Love Harmonic'. Ricardo's 20 minute minimal take of 'Tahktok' is suitably epic, with scatty layers of machine funk and broken beats layered beneath the vocals of children singing. Luciano's remix is more uptempo, reworking the vocal into a hypnotic cha...
• Album of the Week: Andrew Thomas ‘Between Buildings & Trees’5 March 2010, 12:09 pm
  From the cover art (see below, after the jump), you might guess that Andrew Thomas' new album, 'Between Buildings & Trees', was a release on ECM, the iconic jazz and classical label, home to the likes of Keith Jarrett and Arvo Pärt. From the minimalist graphics to the moody, black-and-white landscape photography, the sleeve is a dead ringer for the imagery favored by the Munich-based institution, which has established one of contemporary music's most clearly defined aesthetics in its 40 yea...
• The Murky World of Artist Pseudonyms5 March 2010, 10:00 am
  In the beginning there was Jack—except that probably wasn't his real name. Since the days of disco, aliases and pseudonyms have played an integral role in dance-music culture. Often adopted for practical reasons—for instance, to allow artists under contract to one label to record elsewhere under a different name—they quickly became key factors in the ways that electronic-music culture makes meaning.

• Typography Delivered Fresh17 February 2010, 5:00 am
  A friend who teaches typography on the undergraduate level recently asked an unexpected favor: “can my students browse the e-mails H&FJ sends out?” Apparently he’s in the habit of circulating printouts with his students, when they raise questions that we’ve recently discussed with our readers — how to choose fonts for information-heavy projects like annual reports being an especially hot topic, though he also encourages his students to dig deeply in the character sets of their fonts, a...

  In 1906, the Priester Match Company held an open contest for the design of a poster. Art Nouveau was in full flower, so surely the judges expected to receive decadent renderings of languid smokers, things perhaps in the style of Toulouse-Lautrec or Alphonse Mucha. What none of them expected was a shockingly bold drawing of two matchsticks, almost antagonistically free of nuance: this winning entry, by a twenty-three year old designer named Lucian Bernhard, would come to be recognized as the worl...
• VITESSE: A New Font Family from H&FJ12 January 2010, 5:00 am
  Typeface: Vitesse H&FJ is delighted to introduce Vitesse®, a new slab serif in twelve styles. Slab serifs are one of typography’s most vibrant categories, yet they remain dominated by two ancient forms: the nineteenth century Antique, and the twentieth century Geometric. Both are vital and living genres — we’ve explored each of them, in our Sentinel and Archer type families — but what of the twenty-first century slab? Vitesse revels in the tension between organic letterforms and m...

It’s this kind of accuracy, transparency and accountability that makes New York the perf...
• Typographic Gifts for Designers, Part 1717 December 2009, 11:00 am
  I wonder what sort of psychological profile one could draw from my favorite childhood possessions. I neither played nor followed football, but clung to my NFL lunchbox that showed all the team helmets with their different insignia. I had no special interest in English History, but was fascinated by the chart in our living room that traced the succession of British monarchs from William the Conqueror to Queen Elizabeth II. A kindergarten teacher gave me a chart of rocks and minerals found in the ...

  Typeface: Acropolis An Acropolis Italic sighting is a rare event, so even at 48 pixels I couldn’t help but notice that George Garrastegui used the font’s letter G in his Twitter icon. George was kind enough to send me the original file, though it’s not the mere design fragment I’d assumed: it’s a photo of a foot-high sculpture in corrugated cardboard, made manifest by fellow designer Maurizio Masi. Thank goodness George’s name begins with a letter that can stand on its own, for ha...
• Typography Without Ink7 December 2009, 1:00 pm
  This weekend, I replaced a DVD player that finally conked out after eleven years. Whatever delight I once took in acquiring a new piece of electronics has long been eclipsed by the responsibilities of dealing with its byproducts: its packaging, thankfully limited to recyclable cardboard and biodegradable packing peanuts, and also the carcass of the old device itself, which this year a local equipment recycler will be disassembling and recycling as responsibly as possible. Even the best process i...

  By Dan ReynoldsI. Introduction Large or small, letters seem to inhabit their own universe. Re-arrangeable in any combination, they can spell out all conceivable messages, be they poetic, bureaucratic, or anything in between. But sometimes a text is just about its letters themselves, not an object to be read, but one to be looked at. Type [...]...

• Smarten Up Your Dumb Optical Slave By Hooking it Up With Arduino9 March 2010, 9:25 pm
  Optical Slaves are the simplest (and cheapest for the most part) method for using off camera flashes. The principle is simple, when the optical slave sees another flash fire, it fires too. Kinda like yawning. Once one of goes, it is catchy. Of course optical slaves have their limitations, one of which is that they are too dump to understand the difference between a flash and a pre-flash. There are a few more limitations to optical dumb slaves, but this post is about overcoming the pre-flash iss...

Maybe with another piece of gear; maybe in post; and maybe by changing one of the underlying assumptions that ...
• The External Flash Power That Will Last Till Hell Freezes2 March 2010, 9:21 pm
  UPDATE: IanW has a good point in the comments that flashes can go thermal on you. He is right. pop to hard and too fast and you will over hit. "Fire a flash too frequently with this setup and you will destroy it due to overheating, unless it's got a thermal cutout (most don't)." UPDATE 2: if you're gonna do this, make sure you're doing this on a 6V flash, i.e. 4 AA batteries. This will fry your flash if it is a 3V flash (2 AAs) We write quite a bit about portable strobes.
