// 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

// 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
