via Vemia"Here's a quite unique chance to get 2 CORON 's analog DRUM SYNTH RDS modules in excellent electronic and cosmetic condition. They are extremely rare due to a very limited production at the end of 70's. There are 2 voices (synth) per unit, so 4 voices for this lot ! You can trigger them with an appropriate signal (such as a trigger/tom sound from a drum machine); of course you will be Relative News

via this auction"What we have for auction here is a legendary and ultra rare Tom Oberheim designed Marion Systems MSR-2 Module in an almost mint conditon! It was basically designed as a modular 8-Voice Polysynth (expandable to 16-Voice) in the vein of the Matrix 12/6 series but much better sounding! Unfortunately due to the onset of the digital synth era Marion Systems never had a chance. As as a Relative News

flickr By Tom.WhitwellDetails via Muff's"I was just about to buy an A199 spring reverb when I decided to save 4hp of space and build my own.The circuit is based on Roy Mallory's tech note and tone control, which is useful - a symmetrical cut/boost of bass and treble. The drive, recovery, tone and blend buffer take the four amps in a TL074.The gain on the drive circuit is reduced quite a bit - R10 Relative News

via this auction"The MXR 185 Digital Drum Computer was a noble but brief attempt by MXR to break into the once burgeoning market of the drum machine frenzy in the early 80s. The Founder of MXR and also Alesis, Keith Barr, saw the potential for an "in" into the market and decided to consult both Roger Linn and Tom Oberheim on the design concepts of a proper digital drum machine.

This one in via Tom"Korg Electribe ESX-1 cake for my friend Loz's birthday. It's basically a printed icing sheet atop a two layer sponge with marshmallows for the pots. Final construction was a bit rushed - the valves are represented by candles to be surrounded by orange jelly/jello but I didn't leave enough time to have that set. I also put a bit too much glycerin in the fondant so it melted Relative News

The drums are the foundation of a great mix. You can be adventurous with the guitars, making them sound off the wall and unnatural, but if the drum sound strays too far off the path of punchiness, you’ll end up with a lackluster mix. There are certain things that need to be present in a great drum mix, and similarly, certain things that need to be taken out. With a few simple tricks that I swear by I’ll teach you to get a tight and punchy drum sound. Anytime you start mixing drums you can try these tricks to instantly make your drums sound better. Given that we know how to mix levels and pan the drums, there are really only three things you need for a great drum sound: EQ, compression and reverb, but the ways that you use these three processors is what shapes your drum sound. Trick 1 – Steady with Compression Problem: Drummers don’t hit the drums equally hard. But the listener wants consistency in the drum sound. Solution: Using compression to steady each hit so that...

If you are a Reason user and haven’t updated to version 5 yet then you really need to. There are loads of great updated features but Kong alone is worth the upgrade price tag. I’ve made no secret of the fact that I’m a big fan of Kong. In fact I’d go as far as saying it’s one of the best virtual drum machines available at the minute. I’ve been showing some of my students how to build there own kits using a combination of Analog modelling and Sampling modules. i thought I’d share this technique with you and demonstrate how I would go about building a classic analog kit. Think 909 and 808 and you’ll be on more or less the right lines! Step 1: Initial Set Up Before we get into any programming you’ll need to load a Kong into your rack and get it totally wiped. To do this right click to bring up the instrument list and select Kong. Once loaded right click again and select “Initialise patch”. All done, sorted… we are now good to go. Kong getting wiped! Step 2: Laying the... Relative News

Writing lyrics is a very personal thing, and it is that sense of individualism that can really help people relate to a song. There are no strict rules that must be followed, but having a helpful collection of songwriting resources can really help. Here are 7 sets of lyric writing resources with a bunch of helpful links. Feel free to add more resources in the comments. It will make this list more useful. 1. Life Experience But before you go elsewhere for help, first look to yourself. Your own life experience is your greatest resource. Countless songs have been written on just about every topic – love being the greatest cliche – but your own unique perspective makes it worth writing another one. As you live your life, you’ll come across: Interesting, unusual and memorable phrases and sayings. Often the catchiest part of a song is a single phrase. Keep your ears open for them. Stories. Whether it is the experiences of your own life, or stories from the lives of others you... Relative News

// Getting a great snare sound is a crucial aspect of the whole drum recording experience. The snare drives the back beat and is the backbone of the whole drum sound. In order to capture the full sound of the snare drum you must know how to capture and use the snare drum’s most important sound, the snares. If the snare drum didn’t have the snares rattling underneath it would just be a really shallow sounding tom. The best way to capture the snare sound properly is to not use one microphones but two. One on top and one below. Image by Halocyn Why Point a Microphone Under There? Snare drums have a distinct sound. However, most people recognize a snare drum sound from a distance. A microphone pointed directly at one from a few inches away will hear the snare quite differently than the average human being. The combination of the attack on the topside along with the rattles of the snares creates that distinct snare drum whack we’ve all grown to know and love. Therefore,... Relative News
