I have searched in vain before for decent blogs on creating electronic music and was suprised to find this really easily today after only a little bit of surfing. This is slightly techie, however that is my cup of tea.

This blog concerns itself with the strategies for selling and promoting music in the modern world. Some of the content is sponsored, however the author goes to great lengths to point out the sponsored content and the reasons why it is there is in the first place.

Following on from the recent ER1 kit, I thought I would cpature a few more samples and drop them into a nice Battery 3 kit. Feel free to download the free kit and use as you see fit. Hopefully there will be some more of these coming in the future (when I get chance to sample some more stuff).
Enjoy!

This isn’t really a local topic, but something which should interest users (myself included) who have had to put it with work arounds to get sidechain compression working within Cubase. Well friends you need work around no longer being as Steinberg have got their act together and finally made it a feature of Cubase 4.1 and Cubase Studio 4.1.
I am currently downloading my upgrade as I type and am looking forward to being able to get a pumping bass line going with far less hassle.
Music Geek speak done.

I have just been informed that Stuart Maconie played two tracks from the Binary Oppositions album including Arcade – Chelmsley Wood on his Freak Zone show (11th Nov). If you wish to listen to see what he has to say about the compilation, point your browser towards
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/6music and then select Stuart Maconie – Freak Zone at the bottom of the alpabetic list.
You can fast forward to 1:19 to get the two tracks back to back and catch his comments.
Arcade
I have just stumbled upon this website http://www.integralive.org/.
From what I can gather (reading through the site) is that Integra is a 3-year project led by the Birmingham Conservatoire and is part financed by Culture 2000. The main objective is to create an Open Source composition and performance environment…
I have yet to try the alpha release of the software, but will do so and report my findings in the near future.
