    // In this tutorial we are going to cover how to use FL Studio’s master pitch and tempo tools to create a massive slow down you’ll hear at the end of some songs. This effect first came from records that would slow down as they came to an end and caused a drop in pitch and speed. Soon DJs would emulate this at a club as an effect. In the digital realm these is no record we can put our hands on, but we can automate a slider or two to get the same effect. If your using another DAW, check to see if you have a master pitch or tempo you can automate in your DAW. With all that in mind, let us begin! Step 1: Pick Your Beat Before we can start the slow down we will need something we can slow down first. To really show this effect off I am going to use an instance of Drumaxx and create beat by using a prebuilt pattern in the Drum n Bass genre. Drum n Bass usually floats around 170-190 BPM and is perfect for our purposes. After that I will drag my pattern out for 8 bars in a piano... Relative News

    // Today I would like to show you a mini pluck sequence. I use this sound quite a lot in my productions, and invented the term “mini pluck”. It is used in several trance songs – especially in uplifting trance – but you can use other genres as well In this tutorial I’ll show you how to create a “mini pluck downer” type patch in Sylenth. This is basically a pluck arpeggio with a filter being modulated in a random rhythm. I use Ableton Live to create it. It is suitable for giving backing support to other parts of the song. Other words it’s a backing track just give some feel your tracks. Step 1: Create a Track Let’s insert a MIDI channel in Ableton and insert the MIDI clip. The length of the clip is three bars. Change the grid to 16th notes and draw some notes on C#4, E, G#, A and don’t leave any silence between them. So as you see the notes is rising on the scale. Duplicate this sequence until you reach bar 2.3. So the sequence looks like the following. This will act... Relative News

    // The Mac App Store has just opened, and the first day was an unqualified success, with the download of over a million apps. What will the app store mean for audio software, and the future of the Mac? We have a look at the audio apps available on Day 1. There has been concern expressed over whether the app store is right for audio. It isn’t the right platform (in its current state) for the sale of plugins. And there is concern about the huge margins Apple make from other people’s software. Yet there are already 76 apps in the “Music” category of the store. There are also fears about whether Apple will make the Mac a closed shop by forcing all apps to be sold through the app store at some point in the future. But that remains to be seen. For now, the Mac App Store is a convenient way for Apple users to discover, install and update software. Let’s have a look at what’s available. By the way, you install the app store on your Mac by doing a standard System Update from the... Relative News
