ANOTHER BOUTIQUE SYNTH & A DRUM MACHINE ROLAND?

Again ROLAND are back with 3 new products to add to the boutique range:


  • TR-08 - If you are fan of drum machines I'm sure you've heard of the original TR-808 (Remember the raving days?lol) The original is still a classic to this day (and if in mint condition can fetch over £1000). I know that ROLAND have already released the AIRA TR-8 (which has the sounds etc of the TR808). It is bigger, more buttons etc. The TR-08 is smaller & looks a lot more portable, battery powered, built in speakers etc. (At the moment a rough guide for this is around £339). 
  • SH-01A- This is the boutique version of the classic synth SH-101. This version has 4 voice polyphony (original was monophonic), 64 patch memories , 100 step sequencer etc. (Again, rough price guide is around £339) 
I would like to try both of the new products. I'll be honest I still haven't tried any of ROLAND Boutique range. Ive seen them looking nice in a glass cabinet  a few times.lol (not to demo though.lol). Don't worry maybe one day I will get demo the synths etc.lol.

Have you played any of ROLAND'S Boutique range? If so what do you think?


Until next time

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...

LESS IS MORE

When mixing you need to create space. It's so easy to keep adding different instruments when recording. However, when it comes to mixing you'll probably end up with 2 or more instruments fighting for the same frequency. So what do you do? Well, Firstly it depends on the instruments. Sometimes you may have to be harsh & think: "Do i really need these 2 parts or can i mute one (or even delete)?" This is what i normally do. Now maybe you're thinking: "What about using EQ?" Or "Why not use panning?" Yes i could use these tools. However is this additional sound going to add anything to the mix? Is this part necessary? If not, then im afraid the part either gets muted or deleted. A few days ago i was recording some vocals, for a middle 8 (on a new song). Let's just say i got a bit carried away & ended up recording a few harmony parts too many. I can tell you now that some of those harmony parts will probably be muted. (Why were thos...
