ROLAND-SYNTHS, DRUMS & MORE!

 Friday 9th September, ROLAND had a online festival. They announced around 30 new products. Here's a few they announced:


  • DJ 808- Roland have collaborated with DJ pro SERATO to join an 808 drum machine with a DJ Controller. The drum machine contains sounds from the 808, 606, 909 & 707. Also an onboard sequencer & 2 USB ports to connect other Aira gear smoothly. This does look quite impressive. I do think it will give DJ's more freedom to create different mixes etc. 

  • SYSTEM 8- This another one of Roland's Plug-out synths. It comes with Jupiter 8 & Juno 106 (due to be released in 2017) plugouts. 49 full size keys, effects, usb, vocoder, arp & step sequencer etc. This does look like a very powerful synth, that i would like to try sometime.

  • TB 03, TR 09 & VP 03- Two synths & a drum machine to add to their boutique range. Remember the TB-303 bassline synth? Well, this is a kinda clone. I mean Roland not so long ago brought out the TB-3. A bit like the TR -09. Again Roland bought out the TR-8 which can recreate the 909 drum sounds. Do we need the 303 or 909 recreating again? The boutique range does look good & portable. It will also probably depend on price. Then, we come to the VP-03. This is taken from the String/ vocoder synth VP-330. 
I have to say i do kinda like the System 8. The boutique range does look good. Really? I think i would like to see Roland create a brand new synth & not just a re-creation of one of their classic synths. 

They also announced Drums, Amps, Pianos etc. 

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

FEATURED ARTIST OF THE WEEK: JELLY CLEAVER

Hi! Everyone, this week's FEATURED ARTIST OF THE WEEK is the very talented  singer-songwriter, musician  & producer JELLY CLEAVER JELLY CLEAVER Please introduce yourself I’m a singer-songwriter, jazz guitarist and producer. I’m also an activist and this really influences my music and the lyrics I write. I love lots of different genres so have quite an eclectic style and like to throw myself into different music scenes. I’m really into the jazz scene and the punk/DIY scene in London at the moment.   How did you get into music? I started playing guitar as soon as I could hold one pretty much because my dad was a guitar teacher, and I’ve always had a really deep connection to music. I’ve tried lots of different aspects of music out though, from leading an African singing and drumming ensemble to starting a rock band. I just love music in all its forms.   What instruments do you play? Guitar’s my first instrument but when I’m reco...

GRANDE ARTIST?

ARIANA GRANDE is no stranger to the charts. Recently ARIANA managed to get the top 1, 2 & 3 spots on the billboard top 100 charts simultaneously. The last time this happened was in 1964 by THE BEATLES who got all 5 top spots. At the moment 11 songs from her album 'Thank you, Next' album are in the top 40. (The only song from the album that hasn't made the top 40 is 'Make up'). DRAKE nearly managed this when 2 of his songs were at spots 1 & 2 & 4 simultaneously. That is a great achievement for ARIANA Until Next Time Law OFFICIAL WEBSITE LW MUSIC SERVICES  (Mixing & Mastering) TWITTER FACEBOOK (Law) FACEBOOK  (LW Music Services) FACEBOOK (The Solar project) YOUTUBE
