UNLIKELY DUETS!

Over the years there has been many duets, some being really good & others, well... didn't really work out. Recently there was a duet between METALLICA & LADY GAGA at the Grammy Awards. I'll be honest i wasn't to sure about this, when i first heard about it. After watching the performance i think Lady Gaga has got a strong powerful voice & it did kinda work.

Here are some other unlikely duets:

  • SKIN (SKUNK ANANSIE) & PAVAROTTI- Both very talented singers. In a strange way this duet did work. Skin really can hit those high notes

  • LINKIN PARK & JAY Z- I'll be honest i like Linkin Park & i really didn't like the duet they did with Jay-Z. It was a 6-track EP. Honestly for me, i didn't work. I was disappointed with it

  • NICK CAVE & KYLIE MINOGUE- Apparently, Nick Cave had wanted to write a song for Kylie for a few years. It wasn't until he wrote: 'Where the wild roses grow' did he feel this would be a good song for Kylie to sing. This song was somewhat different to what she is used to singing. Again, in a strange way i think it did work

  • BJORK & PJ HARVEY- In 1994 they did a duet at the Brit Awards, covering the song 'I can't get no satisfaction'. Honestly? I really don't like it at all. Both of them are very talented musicians. Did i get any satisfaction? No. Sorry


  • KLF & TAMMY WYNETTE- This was a bit of an unlikely duet. Tammy Wynette, a very well known country artist & KLF, an electronic band. On paper it kinda doesn't look like it would work. In a strange way, it did work. I remember first hearing this duet when i was around 11 or 12 & did like it. I still do in a way

  • ELTON JOHN & EMINEM- In 2001 they duetted at the Grammys. At the time people thought Eminem's lyrics were violent, homophobic and misogynistic and there was a protest outside the venue. However, i feel the duet did work
There are many other unlikely duets

Who would you like to see duet?

I think for me it would be: GENESIS P'ORRIDGE & BJORK. That to me would be an interesting duet. Whether it would work i don't know. Both are unique in their own way

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
