 Q Q Q QT 3 3 WR WT
No, I haven’t fallen asleep on the keyboard. The above is how you play “I like to move it” on a QWERTY keyboard. I know this because I’ve just been doodling with the economically named “PW-STR1” patch in AXS v3.00, for Windows. This tracker/analog synth/sampler dates back to 1998 and is so old skool it should come with a hood ornament on a gold chain. |

 I'm working on a new project with a female vocalist. We recorded a first track and I started doing a mix. She felt uncomfortable with a certain placement of a microphone, so I lowered it a bit and didn't notice until the mix that we got far more ‘ssssibilants’ than was normal. I was also a bit unhappy with the compressor I generally use for vocals. So I tried a demo of Waves Rvox. It still makes me drool whenever I think about it ...but the price is out of my range. With a little tweaking, a compressor could be seated, but sibilants are another story. So... |

 A personal approach to Acoustical Treatment
Have you ever heard of anything more un-glamorous than acoustical treatment? I can’t think of anything. You’ll never hear this: “His music sucks, but have you seen the acoustical treatment in his room? To die for!”
But in the past it seemed that I couldn’t escape mentions of acoustical treatment. Every time I read an article about mixing… or mastering… or recording… or monitoring… or anything pertaining to making music, the author had to mention the need for quality acoustical treatment.

 D16 Group - the Polish company that brought us virtual instruments like Nepheton, Drumazon and Phoscyon - has delved into the plug-in effects arena. They’re expanding their product line with their first effects release, Devastor - a multi-band distortion plug-in, which is an enhanced version of the distortion section from their TB303-emulation synth, Phoscyon. |

 Sample Magic
Around the World in 80 Raves
The last time I reviewed Sample Magic libraries was back in our November 2007 issue. I gave both Electro-House and Sunset Session loops/samples good reviews due to their sheer quality and usability. The new Around the World in 80 Raves tries to maintain what Sample Magic is well-known for: Quality samples that inspire. This is the seventh installment from the UK-based sample developers... |

 Once in a blue moon, it happens. I think to myself, "Today I'm going to start writing some new music...." but there is that empty "page" in front of me, I go through what an author of a new book might feel. Sometimes this can be imposing, and can leave you in a rut. Oh no, writer's block.... Aggg!! Maybe you've found yourself in the same predicament. How can you get around this? These are some of the ways I get myself going when I feel like that. |

 This CD is a potted history of the musical career of Thomas “TJ” Janak from 1988 to 1996, with some new bonus tracks bolted on. It’s an electro pop production containing 18 tracks and spanning the entire lifecycle of the Digital Dreams project. The albums themselves had top 10 success in the DRMV charts. TJ notes on the sleeve that there are some quality issues with some of the songs, and made the decision not to re-master so as to keep the authentic sound of the original tracks. I’ll mention a little about the recording of the tracks on the album later...

 The eighties are back, at least in music, and if you bother to know my opinion this is a very good thing indeed.
Following the interview with “The Frozen Autumn” in the December 2007 issue of WM, it is now time to have a chat with another electronic combo coming from sunny Italy: “Hidden Place”
- There seems to be lately a return to the analog electronic sounds of the ’80s and “Hidden Place” are indeed part of this movement. What do you think is the main reason?

 More Lunch Than You Paid For
Apulsoft's multi-band equalizer apEQ costs 49 Euros. Some reviewers in various musical magazines wrote that it's the price of lunch at a three star restaurant, but apEQ is much more than that. You get a top rated menu, for a low price along with a Gypsy band playing your favourite songs and a stunning server that stares you straight in the eye and asks you if you're ready for dessert. Yes, ladies and gentleman, Apulsoft apEq is a fantasy come true in equalizer form... |
