    BATON ROUGE, LOUISIANA, USA: United Studio Technologies is proud to announce upcoming availability of the UT FET47 — a faithful reproduction of a legendary classic studio workhorse representing the newly-founded pro audio company’s inaugural product as a ‘no-compromise’ microphone aimed at both professional and project-level recording, as well as the broadcast and voiceover market — as of October 16…

    Hand-built in the USA, the UT FET47 symbolises several years of R&D, testing, and engineering, offering an unparalleled level of quality and craftsmanship to the end user at an asking price to die for. Featuring a large, custom-wound, ‘striped core’ (multi-alloy) output transformer designed by Cinemag to reproduce the exact harmonic signature of its original German counterpart, the microphone itself incorporates a Heiserman HZ-series ‘K47’ German-style capsule — a joint effort between Heiserman and United Studio Technologies. This unique design features dual-milled backplates that are matched and then physically joined to ensure extremely consistent performance between sides and between capsules. The capsule is made from precision-milled brass and skinned with gold-spluttered, six-micron NOS (Not Otherwise Specified) Japanese PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) film that meets or exceeds the purity standards of laboratory-grade Mylar(TM). The high-quality microphone body is produced from nickel-plated brass milled from a solid brass billet, complete with a durable swivel-arm for mounting.
    Meanwhile, the circuitry involved is fully discrete, using only robust and over-spec’d components, including NOS military-spec polystyrene capacitors and tested, original NOS Fairchild FETs (Field-Effect Transistors). No electrolytic capacitors are used anywhere in the microphone, and an ‘all-dry’ topology ensures a lifetime of consistent use.
    United Studio Technologies President Chad Kelly has this to say regarding the development process: “Our formula with this microphone and all of the products yet to come is a very holistic one, bordering on the obsessive. We put care into every single part that goes into it — down to the last thin film resistor or tantalum capacitor, and even the quality of the PCB [Printed Circuit Board] material itself, the positions of components, and the lengths of wires. Nothing is left to chance. We don’t just want to make a microphone that you’ll absolutely love, we want to make a microphone that you’ll still love 20 years from now and be glad you invested in. Everything we do at United Studio Technologies is engineering-driven; no less than five engineers — all experts in their field — have had some level of participation in developing this product. The result is a synergy that I think is palpable.”
    Distributed worldwide by RAD Distribution (http://www.raddist.com/), the UT FET47 is expected to ship before the end of January 2020 with an MSRP (Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price) of $799.00 USD.

    Building on the success of Console 1 was never going to be easy. But we believe in ambitious dreams. To further improve the epic workflow advantages Console 1 brings, we had to ask, “where can we go next?” The answer was clear, and the result is here: Console 1 Fader.
    The Console 1 mixing ecosystem is so much more than a simple DAW/plug-in controller. It’s an efficient, elegant, and amazing-sounding modern mixing solution, combining hardware and software to give users the best of both worlds: the versatility, affordability, and usability of in-the-box mixing, alongside the workflow, feel, and focus dedicated hardware can bring.

    Tapping into the same purpose-designed software environment as the original Console 1 channel strip controller, Fader brings new levels of control over the wider world of mixing. Ride up to ten channels at once, working volume, high-and-low-cut filter values, drive and drive character (modeled desk saturation), and more. Then page up for ten more channels. And ten more, giving easy access to the whole mix, even when tracks number into the hundreds.
    Ten touch-sensitive 100 mm Alps motorized faders give premium professional feel and feedback, while the weighty powder-coated steel chassis means durability and substance in a sleek Scandinavian design.
    Fader includes two software-based component-modeled analog console emulations, Tube and Discrete. Way more than a clinical digital tool, Fader enriches sounds in the same ways as a true analog console, from filtering to saturation.

    Den nya EBS OctaBass Blue Label-pedalen är utrustad med en ny unik funktion som gör det möjligt att välja vilket område på greppbrädan som pedalen ska optimera “trackingen” för. 
    En oktavpedal använder tonerna du spelar på ditt instrument och producerar en ton en oktav ned, som du sedan mixar in med grundtonen. EBS OctaBass, som var den första pedalen som EBS tillverkade, har genom åren har den gjort sig känd för sin snabba och precisa tracking och sitt feta analoga ljud. Den nya versionen kommer med ett par nya riktigt användbara funktioner. 
    Optimera trackingen efter ditt behov
    Med den nya Range-omkopplaren kan du välja vilket område på greppbrädan där trackingen ska optimeras. Endera så att den passar bäst för att spela högre upp på greppbrädan eller längre ned. Den här funktionen gör nya OctaBass unik och utökar det totala omfånget tracking-funktionen kan hantera. I “Low”-läget hanterar nya pedalen lägre toner än någonsin tidigare. 
    Utökad tonkontroll
    Med den nya tonkontrollen har du större möjligheter att påverka oktavtonens karaktär än tidigare. Det gör det enkelt att gå från ett fokuserat skarpt ljud som tränger igenom ljudbilden till ett mer diskret stöd som tonerna du spelar kan vila på. Om du drar upp tonkontrollen i max-läget får du även en synth-liknande karaktär som tidigare OctaBass versioner saknat.
    OctaBass Blue Label kan drivas med 9-18V DC adapters och sparar 12% utrymme på pedalbordet jämfört med den föregående modellen.

    LITTLE FERRY, NJ, USA: Eventide is proud to release Rotary Mod for iOS, introducing the legendary sound effect produced from an authentic emulation based on the liquid and lush Leslie cabinet — used on thousands of recordings, most notably by The Beatles, Beach Boys, Cream, and Pink Floyd, and many more — to iPhone- and iPad-based mobile music-makers as an AUv3 plug-in and Standalone app, as of October 10…

    Catalina brings far-reaching technical changes that also affect DAWs, plug-ins and hardware drivers.

Melodyne 4 users can download the update free of charge from their user accounts.
    Catalina and older versions of Melodyne
    Melodyne studio 3 as well as versions 1 and 2 of Melodyne editor, assistant and essential are not compatible with the changes introduced by macOS Catalina and can't be used with the new operating system. For this reason, Celemony is offering those with older versions an update to Melodyne 4 on special terms: Updates for Melodyne assistant and essential are available free of charge in the user account and updates for Melodyne studio 3 and editor 1 or 2 for only 49 €/US$ in the Celemony web shop.

    On Wednesday night at the A3C Conference in Atlanta, Tracklib will announce a deal with the estate of soul legend Isaac Hayes to offer a select group of 20 unreleased songs on the site’s catalog. These tracks have never been released publicly, and, thus, represent a landmark catalog acquisition for Tracklib and a new way of mining the vaults for the Isaac Hayes estate. Now producers and artists can access this goldmine of previously unheard material, sample from it, and make new music.
    Isaac Hayes III, son of the legend and manager of his estate, said that his father was “with it” when it came to sampling, which explains why he is one of the most sampled artists ever. Before his death, Hayes befriended key producers, including the RZA from the Wu-Tang Clan. Samples of Hayes’s material have always been part of soul and hip hop’s backbone, including recent hits like Alessia Cara’s “Here,” Kanye West’s “30 Hours,” and “6 Inch” by Beyonce.
    The chance for aspiring producers to have access to this material, and to clear the samples easily and legally on the Tracklib platform itself, makes this a rare opportunity for hip hop heads to go back to their roots. Hayes III longs to see his father’s legacy grow beyond repackaging or re-releases of material that is already, deservedly, classic. The songs being released are all multi-tracked, meaning there is a lot of material to play with here.
    Tracklib and Isaac Hayess III have previewed the material for a number of key producers in the sampling world, and the response has been excitement verging on chomping at the bit to get their hands on this material. Erick Sermon, Prince Paul, Drumma Boy, Jazee Pha, and Organized Noise have all heard the tracks and are anxiously anticipating getting to work with them.
    Tracklib’s success within the hip-hop and producer communities made it a natural new home for these unreleased tracks, as they have had a recent string of high-profile releases made with samples from the Tracklib catalog, including DJ Khaled, Mary J. Blige, and Brockhampton. Hayes III admitted Tracklib was on his radar for a long time, but their recent success with J. Cole’s “Middle Child” was the one that grabbed his attention and helped to seal the deal. 
    Hayes III concluded that he is “really excited for today’s producers all around the world to get their hands on these unreleased Isaac Hayes samples and continue his musical legacy, to create new records, new sounds, new ideas.” With this deal with Tracklib, that goal is within reach, and aspiring producers and fans of hip hop and soul will be all the better for it. 

    About Tracklib:
    Tracklib is the world’s first and only music service that offers legal and affordable samples at scale. Music producers can easily browse more than 100,000 tracks and purchase downloads for sampling, then instantly get a license with an easy-to-use category and and sample length calculation. Tracklib samples have been in hits by J. Cole, DJ Khaled,  and many others.

    October 8, 2019 - IK Multimedia has released a dedicated software editor for its UNO Drum analogue/PCM drum machine. Designed to offer deep control for more impactful recordings and performance, it provides easy access to all parameters, easy customization, and advanced kit and pattern management, with convenient support for Mac/PC and iPad.

    More than a traditional software editor, UNO Drum Editor can function both as a standalone application (Mac/PC/iPad) and an integrated DAW plug-in (Mac/PC) for use in the studio, live performance, or on-the-go music creation. It provides seamless integration and real-time parameter control, allowing users to instantly change any parameter on the UNO Drum for complete control directly from a computer or iPad. Users can also load and edit presets created on UNO Drum, or build kits and patterns from scratch on the editor and transfer them to UNO Drum for unplugged use.
    A two-way street
    When UNO Drum Editor is used to control parameters in real-time, the hardware UNO Drum instantly responds to those parameter changes. Similarly, the Editor tracks changes made on the hardware, for a seamless workflow. UNO Drum Editor also makes it easy to manage kits and patterns on UNO Drum itself. Presets can be loaded locally or from the hardware unit, then edited and saved on the user's device or stored back on UNO Drum for stand-alone use.
    Superior sound design
    The Drum panel makes sound design a breeze, displaying all of UNO Drum's 12 analogue and PCM sound elements at once. The drop-down menus above each element let users instantly change between each element's five sound options, then tweak them using the tune, snap, decay and other controls, just like on the hardware unit itself.
    The included mixer can be used to quickly set or adjust levels for each element, and on-screen drum pads make it easier to trigger sounds from UNO Drum while using a computer mouse.
    Effortless groove creation
    The Pattern panel makes it faster than ever to program patterns. A grid layout shows all elements and 16 steps for easily editing or creating grooves, and makes it easy to write or record automation.
    This screen also offers convenient access to the Master effects (compression, drive and swing), as well as the pattern divisions and length, plus roll and stutter controls.
    Similar to drum kits, pattern presets can be loaded, saved and stored either locally or on UNO Drum itself.
    Rig incorporation made easy
    UNO Drum Editor can help quickly customize UNO Drum to suit user preferences. The Global Settings menu can be used to map MIDI routings, channels, behaviour and more. It also lets UNO DRUM be used as both a MIDI interface and MIDI controller. These comprehensive controls offer a trouble-free way to integrate UNO Drum into even the most advanced rig.
    Outboard meets in-the-box
    In addition to the convenient control offered when using UNO Drum Editor as a standalone application, using it as a plug-in in a DAW of choice unleashes an amazing new workflow:
    UNO Drum can be played and programmed just like a virtual instrument with total recall, so the Editor will recall its previous settings each time an older session is opened. It's also freely resizable, allowing the screen size to be adjusted to fit any workflow.

    REMAGEN, GERMANY: having teased the musical masses last year, then turned heads and opened ears when unveiling a preproduction prototype at The 2019 NAMM Show in Anaheim, California earlier this year, with repeat showings Stateside (at Synthplex 2019 in Burbank, California) and closer to home (at SUPERBOOTH19 in Berlin), high-quality synthesizer developer Waldorf Music is proud to announce availability of Kyra — its eagerly-awaited 128-voice, FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) processing-powered VA (virtual analogue) synthesizer sensation — as of October 7…
    Accompanying documentation proudly proclaims that Kyra “...is one of the most powerful music synthesizers ever built.” But this is not hardware hyperbole on Waldorf Music’s part. Put it this way: with 32x oversampled hardware sound generation and 96kHz floating point sound processing providing guaranteed contention-free 128 voice channels, Kyra is guaranteed to make its musical mark as a sensational synthesizer that is as easy to use and easy on the eye as it is powerful and flexible.

    From first glance it is patently obvious that Kyra is a beautifully-designed desktop VA Synthesizer — as the wording elegantly emblazoned on its eye-catching front fascia subtly states. As a truly multitimbral instrument it features eight independent ‘parts’ with up to 32 notes per PART, each effectively being a complete synthesizer with sound sources (OSC GROUP 1, OSC GROUP 2, SUB 1, and SUB 2); FILTERS; modulators (EGs, LFOs, and MOD MATRIX); multi-effects unit (EFFECTS); and a USB 2.0 connection — can exchange MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) information, as well as send the audio from each stereo PART to a computer as eight stereo 24-bit streams at 96kHz (with 48kHz downsample mode available) and one stereo audio return from the computer supporting a single 24-bit stereo audio stream from the host DAW (Digital Audio Workstation). With that being said, the only other resource they share are the four balanced, stereo output pairs — OUT A (Right and Left), OUT B (Right and Left), OUT C (Right and Left), and OUT B (Right and Left) — using 32-bit DAC (Digital-to-Analogue Conversion) running at 96kHz sampling rate connected to four internal stereo busses and that powerful pool of 128 hardware voices. Versatility further abounds as each PART has a dedicated multi-effects unit comprising nine stereo effects modules — namely, three-band EQ, Formant filter, input Limiter, Distortion module, Delay module, six-state Phaser, Chorus flanger, Stereo reverb, and output Limiter — with dedicated audio stream via USB (Universal Serial Bus).
    Better still, each PART hosts a Patch from the pool available to the system. Speaking of which, Kyra has a generous Patch storage capacity of 26 banks — A through to Z, each containing 128 patches. That’s a total of 3,328! The first seven banks are ‘user’ patches stored in RAM (Random Access Memory), meaning users can change them quickly and individually using the Store sequence. The remaining 19 banks are ROM (Read-Only Memory) patches that users can recall and use just like RAM patches but cannot be replaced using the Store sequence. It is, however, perfectly possible to freely copy whole banks between RAM and ROM, so all are user- programmable. And any Patch can be recalled via MIDI program changes and Bank select commands. Whatever way anyone views it, Kyra far from short-changes from a live performance perspective or when working with it in a studio setup as an alternative.
    As a sensational synthesizer with a spectacular specification, Kyra doesn’t disappoint from the all-important sound standpoint, starting with two primary virtual alias-free oscillator groups (OSC GROUP 1 and OSC GROUP 2) per voice, each with Saw (sawtooth); Wave (waveform) — with no fewer than 4,096 18-bit linear PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) single-cycle 32x oversampled wavetables covering a huge range of synthetic and emulated sound sources with two wavetable sources per voice; Pulse; and noise simultaneously available. Also OSC GROUP 1 and OSC GROUP 2 each has an independent detune-able oscillator — SUB 1 and SUB 2 — with four selectable shapes and two selectable (Octave) pitches. Real Hard Sync, ring modulation, and FM (Frequency Modulation) are available between those oscillator group
    Waldorf’s wonderment-causing Kyra VA Synthesizer promo video
    Get this, though: switching from Wave mode — meaning Kyra adopts a virtual analogue synthesis model which has the advantage that it is easy to construct sounds using intuitive subtractive synthesis — to Hypersaw mode configures the voice to use a special algorithm comprising six real oscillators to quickly create lush-sounding soundscapes. Digging deeper, Hypersaw mode replaces Wave mode’s two oscillator groups with a single source whose tonal content is constructed with just two adjustable controls — Hypersaw Intensity and Hypersaw Spread (geometric detuning). Built entirely out of multiple, harmonically-rich sawtooth waves or ‘partials’ each adjusted to that special algorithm, the Hypersaw provides characteristic soundscapes ideal for a wide range of uses — from high-impact lead sounds through to lush, animated pads. Placed in Dual Mode, the Hypersaw has 12 real oscillator sources with an additional adjustable stereo spread.
    Successfully synthesizing sound is inextricably linked with flexible filtering. Fortunately for discerning users, Kyra’s FILTERS front panel perfectly positions powerful control, creatively implementing accurate emulations of classic analogue ladder filters with 2-pole (12dB/octave) low pass (12dB LP), band pass (12dB BP), and high pass (12dB HP), plus 4-pole (24dB/octave) low pass (24dB LP), band pass (24dB BP), and high pass (24dB HP) configurations. Creatively, 128 filters are configurable for single or dual parallel (Dual Filter) true stereo operation.
    Onwards and upwards, three fast-response ADSR (Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release) envelope generators with EG Slope setting are also at hand. Helpfully, one is assigned to the VCA (Voltage Controlled Amplifier), another to the filter, while the third can be freely assigned. All are available in the MOD MATRIX (modulation matrix), itself being a six-channel affair with up to three destinations per channel giving a maximum of 18 routings. It is also worth noting that the three LFOs (Low Frequency Oscillators) — with 128 wavetable shapes, monophonic, polyphonic, random, anti-phase, and quadrature stereo phase settings — are also available in the MOD MATRIX and additionally as a MIDI clock sync source.
    Creativity continues courtesy of an arpeggiator (ARP) on each PART with 128 preset patterns; Up, Down, Random, and Chords modes; and an ability to synchronise to MIDI clock. Arpeggiators are aimed at live performance, primarily, but can clearly complement composition. Kyra’s ARP is an integral part of a Patch, so settings are always stored.
    Far from forgetting its helpful high-resolution 256x64 pixel graphic OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) display alongside the traditional array of MIDI In, Out, and Thru connections — complimenting USB 2.0 — on five-pin DIN, as well as full key microtuning capability with MIDI Tuning Standard (MTS support), it is fair to say that Kyra is, indeed, one of the most powerful music synthesizers ever built... a sensational synthesizer with a spectacular specification, set to take performances and compositions to higher states of musicality and sound design! 

    The Kyra VA Synthesizer is available through Waldorf Music’s growing global network of distributors (https://www.waldorfmusic.com/en/international-distributors) at an SRP (Suggested Reseller Price) of €1,843.00 EUR (excluding tax).

    C6 and Elektron Transfer

    The upcoming macOS 10.15 Catalina will not support 32-bit software, meaning that Elektron’s C6 SysEx Manager will not function on a system running Catalina. From Catalina and onwards, it will no longer be possible to use C6 with your Elektron devices.
    To remedy this, we will release a new version of the Elektron Transfer software (version 1.2) which will be compatible with Catalina. Elektron Transfer 1.2 will support OS upgrades for Analog Four MKI/MKII, Analog Heat MKI/MKII, Analog Keys, Analog Rytm MKI/MKII, Digitakt, Digitone, Digitone Keys, and Model:Samples. Please note that Octatrack, Machinedrum, and Monomachine will not be supported by Elektron Transfer.
    Elektron Transfer 1.2 will support OS upgrade and sample transfer. At release, it will not support backup of projects, patterns, kits, or sounds. An upcoming version of Elektron Transfer will support this functionality. You will still be able to send previously backed up SysEx files from Transfer to your device. We suggest that you use another SysEx tool, for example SysEx Librarian, to make backups if you upgrade to Catalina.
    If you use Windows, macOS 10.14 Mojave or earlier you can use both C6 and Elektron Transfer.
    Do not upgrade your operating system to macOS 10.15 if you want to continue to use C6.
    Overbridge
    Overbridge does not currently support Catalina, but we are working hard on updating our Overbridge drivers to function together with Catalina. Until the updated version of Overbridge is released, do not update your operating system to macOS 10.15 if you want to use Overbridge.

    Nya EBS BassIQ ‘Blue Label’ är utrustad med nya kontroller och funktioner som gör den än mer flexibel och dynamisk än tidigare. Det här är en analog pedal som är inspirerande att använda och genererar musikaliska och användbara ljud.
    BassIQ ‘Blue Label’ ger dig allt ifrån klassiska auto-wah effekter till mer extrema, skruvade ljud. Den kan även användas för att skapa synthbas liknande ljud.
    Q, Threshold & Attack-kontroller
    Threshold och Attack rattarna bestämmer känsligheten i gensvaret som pedalen ger när du spelar. Det är nyckeln till att skapa allt från wah-wah, synthbas eller sub-bas ljud med BassIQ pedalen. En ny funktion är Q-ratten som bestämmer hur skarp effektens karaktär ska vara. Ett högt Q värde ger en mer genomträngande effekt. Ett lägre värde rundar av karaktären.
    Up, Up-R & Down-lägen
    När du väljer UP-läget, svarar pedalen med en typisk auto-wah effekt. I kombination med ett högt Q värde får du ett distinkt quack-ljud i detta läget (likt High-Q funktionen med den gamla BassIQ:n). Backar du Q kontrollen så får du en mjukare effekt. I UP-läget kan du också skapa en sub-bas effekt genom att vrida Threshold ratten helt åt vänster och Attack helt åt höger.
    UP-R läget fungerar på samma sätt som UP, men där finns även en trim-skruv innanför skalet på BassIQ som justerar effektens frekvensområde i UP-R läget. På det viset kan du skapa ett läge som är unikt för dig och din spelstil.
    DOWN-läget gör helt enkelt att svansen på effekten vänder neråt i stället för uppåt. Detta läget är mycket användbart för att få basen att låta som en synthbas.
    Pass filter
    De nya pass filtren ger ytterligare möjligheter att variera ljudet. De tre lägena Full Range, Band Pass, och Low Pass ändrar karaktären på effekten i pedalens samtliga lägen.
    Interna kontroller
    Det finns flera trim-skruvar innanför skalet. En för att justera utgångsnivån på effekten. En för att bestämma nivån på hur mycket diskant från ingångsljudet som du vill mixa in med effekten, samt den ovan nämnda kontrollen för att justera frekvensområdet (Range) för effekten i UP-R läget.
    EBS Bass IQ ‘Blue Label’ finns redo för beställning från och med nu via välsorterade musikhandlare.

    – Albin Johnsén, ISA och Buster Moe först ut när Corite öppnar fan-funding plattform för alla
    Stockholm, 2 oktober, 2019; Corite, den första fan-funding plattformen av sitt slag, lanseras idag. Tjänsten gör det möjligt för vem som helst att investera i artisters kommande verk och vara en del av resan – från den första mixen till en potentiell hitlåt. Albin Johnsén, ISA, Buster Moe, Amanda Alexander och Penthox är bland de första artisterna ut på Corite, som nu öppnar upp för alla.
    Till följd av musikindustrins digitaliserings-boom har ännu ett skifte gjort sig synligt där ny teknik utökar artisters valmöjligheter och kontroll. Svenska Corite, som backas av bl.a. Danny Saucedo, lanserar nu ett nytt alternativ för artister att bygga sina karriärer tillsammans med sina fans. På den digitala fan-funding-plattformen kan fans stötta artister genom att investera i deras kommande verk.
    – Musikfans kan nu spela en aktiv roll i artistens resa och belönas för det på längre sikt. Vi vill stärka den nya generationen av skapare genom att involvera deras fans på en ny nivå och samtidigt ge dem friheten att behålla full kontroll över sitt arbete, kommenterar Mattias Tengblad, CEO och medgrundare av Corite.

    På Corites platform behåller artisten alla rättigheter och bestämmer själv sitt värde samt hur stor procentandel den vill dela med sig av. Från fansens perspektiv blir det en möjlighet att stötta sina favoritartister, hitta nya talanger och dela framgången.
    Albin Johnséns kommande singel ”Jag håller av dig” feat. Finess, ISAs ”Who the Hell”, Buster Moes ”The Story We Used to Tell”, Amanda Alexanders “Modern Lovers” och Penthoxs ”Bottom” finns nu på Corite.
    – Digitaliseringen har förändrat allt och steg för steg bygger vi ett nytt musikuniversum genom sociala medier, digital distribution, och nu även fan-funding som ger oss artister möjlighet att förverkliga våra låtar tillsammans med de som alltid varit viktigast oss - våra fans, kommenterar Albin Johnsén.
    Fans och investerare kommer att vara de största supportrarna av låten när den släpps. Corite kommer att, genom olika gamifierade funktioner, göra samarbetet mellan fans och artist både spännande och roligt. “Backarna kommer inte bara att göra en monetär insats, de kommer att boosta låtarna och skapa hits,” säger Emil Angervall, COO och medgrundare av Corite.
    Corite - så fungerar det:
    1. Artisten laddar upp en kampanj inför ett nytt låtsläpp – sätter beskrivning, värdering och procentandel – och Corite publicerar denna för fansen.
    2. Fansen investerar valfritt belopp i kampanjer de tror på och får därmed en procentsats av låtens framtida streaming-intäkter.
    3. När musiken streamas får artisterna och fansen betalt samtidigt. De kan hjälpas åt att dela låten och tillsammans följa framgångarna via streaming-data från de populära tjänsterna.
    Besök corite.com för att komma igång.
    Artist-kommentarer:
    – Fan-funding kan hjälpa mig att förverkliga mina kreativa visioner, tillsammans med mina fans. Det betyder att jag kan vara 100% mig själv på ett sätt som jag definitivt tror är vägen till framgång för artister idag, säger ISA.
    – Det har blivit viktigare än någonsin att bygga plattformar, som t.ex. sociala medier, där vi kan kommunicera direkt med fansen. Corite tar det verkligen till en ny nivå där vi förs närmare fansen än någonsin och även kan dela framgångarna tillsammans, säger Buster Moe.
    – Utan fans, inga artister. Fansen kommer alltid att vara grunden till att artister fullföljer sina drömmar och fortsätta dela sitt skapande med världen. Att fans och artister nu kan teama upp och jobba tillsammans är en riktig game-changer, säger Danny Saucedo.
    Om Corite: 
    Corite är den första plattformen som gör det möjligt för fans att investera i artister och vara en del av den kreativa resan från den första mixen till en potentiell hitlåt. När musiken streamas på Spotify eller Apple Music får artisterna och fansen betalt på samma gång, baserat på sin insats i låten. På så vis får artister större ekonomisk frihet och en helt unik möjlighet att sprida sin musik via sina fans. Corite grundades av Mattias Tengblad och Emil Angervall, båda med över 20 års erfarenhet av management och digitalisering hos bl.a. Universal Music Group där de lanserade distributionstjänsten Spinnup och playlist-nätverket Digster. Investerarna inkluderar Eastate, ägt av familjen bakom East Capital Group (investerare i Spotify och X5), affärsänglar som artisten Danny Saucedo och Sofie Grant (Emerge & Co, fd. Spotify), samt investerargruppen Tagehus. Bolaget har sitt säte på Kungsholmen i Stockholm. Mer info: corite.com

    BRNO, CZECH REPUBLIC: software applications, software effects, and hardware processors developer Audified is proud to announce availability of ToneSpot Electric Pro — this time targeting its innovative ToneSpot one-shot channel processing plug-in concept at easily enhancing electric guitar tones as another aptly-named Swiss Army Knife-style solution fit for working with the heaviest of genres through to more traditional ones, regardless of whatever combinations of guitar amps, pedals, or plug-ins are already being used in the tricky and time-consuming craft of pursuing electric guitar processing perfection — as of September 27…

    Anyone who has ever tried to ape an exceptional-sounding electric guitar tone that they have heard on one of their favourite artist recordings should surely appreciate how tricky and time-consuming quest finding the ‘Holy Guitar Grail’ can be. After all, acquiring an awesome guitar and amp combo, magnificent microphones, superb-sounding stompboxes, and outstanding outboard effects can be a costly business — before trying to perfect putting those purchases into practice! Perhaps getting hold of some of the many magical guitar amp- and authentic-sounding stompbox- simulating plug-ins out there today better suits some aspiring artists and producers as an achievable alternative. As amazing as both ways of working can clearly sound, more often than not, that sought-after exceptional-sounding electric guitar tone proves to be beyond reach when recorded and mixed with the rest of the band. Even endless tweaking fails to yield the desired result — really frustrating for anyone, novice or otherwise.
    Why? Well, answering that is easy: electric guitars can take a lot of processing. Put it another way: with many of today’s genres, giving guitars the treatment they need to musically shine is key to a mix’s success, so it is important to get the guitar sound just right. Reality dictates that guitars are often having to vie for attention with several layers of other instruments that can clash if left unchecked within the confines of a muddled mix. More often than not, it could be that the recordings themselves sound too thin, sterile, or harsh due to a lack of audio engineering skill. Similarly, bringing back overly muddy- or dark-sounding guitar recordings from the brink of disaster can prove problematic.
    Put it this way: what is really required are appropriate-sounding guitar tones that can cut through. They need to be punchy and fat sounding, yet simultaneously show a great deal of clarity and tightness. That’s not all! At times, guitars still need to sound very natural — even if heavily processed. Putting all this into practice is far from easy, evidenced by the fact that professional audio engineers often go to great lengths in pursuit of building an awesome-sounding tone in a well-stocked recording studio. So chances are that tone benefitted from some seriously heavy lifting to get to where it needed to be, blending several re-amping chains with copious quantities of filtering, equalisation, saturation, and even some multi-band processing, perhaps. The top engineers even go as far as running the signal through their complicated chains two or three times in series until producers and artists are 100% satisfied with the result!
    Results like those seriously heavy-lifted, awesome-sounding tones have hitherto been harder to come by for those without access to such well- stocked recording studios. Saying that, though, even if taking the arguably more cost-effective — certainly space-saving — ITB (in-the-box) recording route using a computer, it is not enough to simply run electric guitars through a real tube amp or guitar amp simulation plug-in to achieve the standards heard on today’s professional productions. The truth of the matter is that a ton of plug-ins are required, and that eats away at a significant portion of CPU (Central Processing Unit) power.
    Thanks to Audified’s audacity, however, there is now a simpler solution... stand up and take a bow, ToneSpot Electric Pro! Pursuing electric guitar processing perfection needs not necessarily be the tricky and time-consuming craft it once was with just this one processing plug-in taking care of all the musical magic as the hitherto missing ‘magic bullet’ — truly the key to success since it bears bountiful tricks on tap that draw from a deep well of extensive engineering know-how, yet balances that with much in the way of creative freedom.
    Fortunately for all, Audified’s ToneSpot Electric Pro promo video simply says it like it is: “Swiss Army Knife for all tone hunters... Best mixing tricks for electric guitar processing... Monstrous processing power and flexibility... Musically labeled controls... Works perfectly with any amp simulation or real tube amp.”
    Simply speaking, then, ToneSpot Electric Pro improves the tone, no matter what amps, stompboxes, or plug-ins its users are already using for their electric guitar processing. Putting it to the test should surely prove to be an ear-opening experience for anyone adding it to their tone-hunting plug- in collection! And anyone seeking something simpler still could consider Audified’s alternative ToneSpot Electric Express offering, featuring the same processing power as its bigger brother, but with a reduced control count. Clearly, pursuing electric guitar processing perfection is indisputably no longer the tricky and time-consuming craft it once was — thanks to Audified’s audacity!

    ToneSpot Electric Pro is available to purchase for a time-limited introductory promo price of $49.00 USD until October 18, 2019 — rising thereafter to $99.00 USD — from Audified’s online shop here: https://shop.audified.com/products/tonespot-electric-pro
    ToneSpot Electric Pro can be directly downloaded as an AAX, AU, VST2, VST3, 32- and 64-bit native plug-in for MacOS (10.9 and above) and Windows (7, 8, and 10) — alongside a demo version — from Audified here: https://services.audified.com/download (Note that all Audified’s ToneSpot series plug-ins are serial number-protected, so no iLok is required.)
