Just found this great new online/offline organizer thingy. It’s really useful for a load of applications, and it’s free! It’s called Remember The Milk and it’s got really everything you need to keep organized - and then some. Now, I’m not associated with this place at all, but I found it quite intriguing that there’s so much you can do compared with some other online/offline organizer services, and you can extend it greatly with various applications (mostly from Google). I use Opera personally, but most of the applications actually require Firefox to be installed. Check it out, if for nothing other than the functionality.
If you hadn’t noticed, I’m not a fan of Google at all. Google pretty much supports the murder of innocent Tibetans and china’s lack of respect to human life.

Well, I’ve been very busy as of late with a ton of different projects currently underway. This one is for
Wusikstation, and it’s called
High Velocity. This set is comprised of part ambient, part spacey, part drone-ish sounds with some FX, sequences, and textures tossed in also. These sounds will ALL react in some way to velocity, mod wheel, pitch bend, and/or aftertouch. Velocity is pretty much mapped to something on every one of the presets. Here’s a few demo sounds that I put together (using the same MIDI file I created) to show some of the dynamic character of the sounds -

EDIT: Apparently there is a soundset for Wusikstation already in existance from Back In Time Records with a similiar name, and they’ve politely asked me to change the name and avoid confusion. Since the set is comprised of mostly velocity altering sounds, i thought ‘high velocity’ would fit nicely.

ericsound plug-ins has just released 2 new plug-ins in VST format, each of which happens to be an EQ. First, there’s the
FreeeQ V1.3, and then the
UniQ v1.0 which is a more advanced version of the former. I’m not going to review them quite yet as i haven’t even installed them in the studio, but over the next few days i’ll play with them and give a detailed report. as for cost, well, the FreeeQ is free as you may have guessed. the UniQ however is commercial software, but he’s adopting the ever popular ‘pay-what-you-want’ idea. here’s a few screenshots before i’m outta here:

i’ve updated the filterscape VA propack to 1.2 which includes a set of ‘dance plucks’ to the bank. the set is made up of short decay pluck/stab type sounds made for dance music production. they obviously can be used in any type of production, but i created these in a demo set @ 140 BPM with a 4-on-the-floor trance drumline and some very fast paced melody/bass combination patterns. total sounds in the set right now are 112, with one more pack to be released this week to make the total 128 sounds. i’ll leave the set @ 128 sounds for right now until u-he updates the filterscape set. until then, download and have fun.

i’ve created a demo mix for
audjoo’s helix VSTi synthesizer plug-in, and i’m just not sure if it’s trance, dance, elektro, or what. you can have a listen for yourself if you’d like:

helix is a nasty synth with some crazy features. it’s probably one of the most full featured synthesizer plugs out there with very high sound quality and huge flexibility - and the CPU is negligible…
