NEW YEAR, NEW GEAR 2017!

Yes, its that time of year again: WINTER NAMM 2017. Already rumours, predictions, teasers etc are circulating the internet.
Here's a few rumours, thoughts etc that we may see:


  • SCHECTER- According their website they have already announced their new guitar line-up for 2017 (including few new artist models)
  • IK MULTIMEDIA- Rumour has it they will be taking technology for acoustic guitar players "a major step further"
  • TC ELECTRONIC- After launching 13 pedals this year, they may have something  new for 2017
  • BLACKSTAR- Will they bring out some new amps?
  • ROLAND-A new synth? Another addition to the Boutique Range? 
  • KORG- In 2016 they bought us a new synth, midi keyboard, music workstation etc. What have Korg got planned for this year? A new version of the Kronos? 
  • YAMAHA- Again a new synth, piano etc?
  • ACCESS VIRUS- Its been a few years now since they have bought anything new out. In fact i think the TI2 came out around 2009. In 2016 you had a chance to buy the Virus Darkstar synth again. I wonder if they will ever be a TI3 or a completely new synth from ACCESS
There also maybe a few surprises from a few manufacturers. We will have to wait & see



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
