MUSIC INNOVATIONS!

Long before we were recording music on computers, ipads etc, music was recorded onto magnetic tape. In 1943 Multi-track tape recording was invented (this is when stereo was introduced). Ross Snyder developed the 8-track tape recorder in 1955. (This was at Ampex). So, thats how we first started recording music.

Here's some more innovations:

PHONOGRAPH
MAGNETIC TAPE
ELECTRIC GUITAR- The electric part was created in 1931
SYNTHESIZER- The first synthesizer was invented by Elisha Gray, in 1876. However, the first commercially available synth was by Robert Moog , in 1964
VOCALS- Microphones really first came about in 1860. The first microphone to transmit a reasonable signal came around 1877.
HEADPHONES- Nathaniel Baldwin created these around 1910
MIDI

Yes there are a lot more. Over the years we have seen many changes to music inventions. We are creating music innovations now for the future. In 10, 20 years time how will we be recording music? The same way or completely different? Who knows?

Until next time

CUBASE & LOGIC PRO X- BYPASS ALL PLUGINS!

A few weeks ago someone posted in Facebook group about how to Bypass ALL plugins in Cubase 8.5. (As some of you may know i use Cubase 8.5 in the main studio). It's a lot quicker than turning off each individual plugin. Here's how to do this: CUBASE- Go to File Key Commands Mixer (Section) Bypass Inserts Type in box a key (e.g. B etc) Assign OK When you press that key all plugins should be bypassed on the mixer LOGIC PRO X- As far as i know at the moment you cannot just press one button/ key & turn all the plugins off simultaneously. You can row by row. Here's a quick video tutorial : Hope this helps Until next time Law Official Website LW Music Services Twitter Facebook (Law) Facebook (LW Music Services) Youtube Instagram Soundbetter

PEDAL STEEL SYNTH?

Synthesizers use oscillators to create a tone. Sound Source synth uses strings. The synth features: Slide Bar Pitch Bending Pedal Delay Analog Filter As of writing this the synth is still in prototype. The price will be approx $700-$1200.
