In addition to having Reason, Force Effect also now has Logic. Gee, what a thoughtful band. I ask The Prodigy Community what their DAW of choice is and why. I'm also busy working on a brand new track for the forthcoming album, as well as returning to the primary mix of The Violent Truth to create a tighter, more big-beat mix. Work on the NIN remix album "Year Zero - Force Effect" also continues. 20080327_
A user on The Prodigy forum asked the community's producer members how they make their music. I answered. 20080326_
I picked up the Abbey Road Keyboards Refill for Reason today, so Force Effect can write music virtually at Abbey Road Studios. This is, of course, the famous studio that the Beatles recorded at in 1964. Propellerheads recorded all of the classic Abbey Road instruments in the Abbey Road studio environment for an exact emulation of the studio experience. Of course, I'll likely apply some Force Effect distortion to these classic vintage instruments! 20080322_
I took the new track for the forthcoming Force Effect full-length album for a little test spin in my car over its sound system. It's really great to write from the laptop, anytime and anywhere. The track sounded great loud. Tons of energy and ripe for me to now write some melody and lyrics. 20080321_
Comcast wants to put cameras in your TV. The novel Nineteen Eighty-Four was supposed to be a warning, not a how-to manual. 20080320_
A taste of what's to come on Tronic Thursday April 3rd from Force Effect: Puccini and Hitman Contracts. At the same time. 20080320_My pixel face became very apt today. Notice anything missing? I moan about iTunes possibly going subscription in the comments. Nice remembering and even some funny words about Clarke. 20080319_
After a prolific and esteemed career, Nebula and Hugo award-winning Arthur C. Clarke has passed. Goodbye, my friend. We won't forget you. "He never grew up; but he never stopped growing." 20080319_Apple may go subscription. Discuss. 20080319_
My new all-digital DJ rig. Just did the first practice session and had a blast. Force Effect is ready to go live. So far, my assessment of M-AUDIO's Torq Xponent is HELL YES. I love this thing. Within ten minutes, I was going crazy in my first session ever. 20080318_
I met Paul Reed Smith today. Here, he's checking out Austin's PRS guitar.
And I also met the band The Last Goodbye, the lead singer pictured here. Photographed his studio session. 20080318_"Bankrupt the banks then buy them for dirt cheap, same thing they did before the Great Depression." Get ready. Here it comes. 20080318_
Got to check out one of Negative Red's recording studio rigs after a night of checking out the local downtown bars for St. Paddy's Day. 20080317_
My girlfriend's brother, Austin, has a band, Remedy in the Rapture. I'll be designing their website soon. 20080317_The Genetic Department of Pre-Crime. The Future According to Radiohead. Image showing real Super Mario. 20080315_
Got one, finally. Gearing up to start doing live shows with Negative Red. Getting this little number too. With those things and my H4, I've got a portable song laboratory. I'll use the larger Axiom for shows. 20080314_I hear Liberty; She says "Save Me" 20080314_
Josh Helton plays 1915 South Calhoun. He had a wicked chic set of tracks. This is a DJ of excellence.
Carsonova does a little jig and later falls down.
Force Effect propaganda is now out there amongst the masses. 20080312_
Last Friday, I photographed a recording session for Mercy Me. This picture is taken from my iPhone during a mixing session. They were fine-tuning some timing issues before calling it a wrap. It was definitely interesting watching the process. 20080311_
Saw Carson's band, Negative Red, at a bar called Berlin in downtown. |
