LONGEST SONGS?

Recently KANYE WEST released a 17 minute long version of the song: 'Bed' (Originally by J HOLLIDAY). After listening to it, yes it does go on a bit. Did it really need to be 17 minutes? Anyway, moving on

Over the years some songs have been quite long & a few that are even more than 17 minutes.

Here's a few:


  • 'Sister Ray'- THE VELVET UNDERGROUND (Just over 17 mins. Apparently the engineer got so bored, he walked out of the studio. Oh dear)

  • 'Echoes'-PINK FLOYD (Only lasts just over 23 mins)

  • 'Autobahn'-KRAFTWERK (Nearly 23 mins)

  • 'Blue Room'- THE ORB (Just under 40 mins long. I do remember this song back in 1992. The edited version was about 3 mins, i think. After about 25 mins you kinda get the familiar part of the song. 'Blue Room' i still think is the longest ever single to be released in the UK Charts)

  • '7 Skies H3'- THE FLAMING LIPS (This song goes on for a staggering 24 HOURS. The song was released on a flash drive, as limited edition. Wow! That is one very very long song. However, in 2014 for Record Store day a 50 minute version was released)

I remember hearing about 'Bohemian Rhapsody'-QUEEN when label EMI said it was too long to play on the radio. The song lasts about 6 mins. That all changed when Kenny Everett played it on his radio show 14 times over one weekend. (6 mins doesn't seem as long when you compare to the songs above)



I think long songs are here to stay 

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

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
