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

These days there are a lot of musical instruments around. Here are some that you might not have heard of: HYPERBASS FLUTE- Extremely rare flute, 15 Metres of piping, 4 octaves below the concert flute SHARPSICHORD- Gargantuan pin-barrel harp, consists of 11 cylinders & pins strike the internal strings when they rotate SEA ORGAN- This is in Zadar, Croatia. Tubes are underneath the marble steps, as the waves crash it creates music CELLO HORN- This was first announced in 1936. The sound comes out of the horn by bowing the strings  SINGING RINGING TREE- If you have been to Burnley, Lancashire you may of seen this musical instrument sculpture.

These days there are quite a few music production software to choose from. As i've said before it is what works best for you. Which software you find comfortable to make music with. One popular DAW software is ABLETON. Well, ABLETON could have some competition with MOTU DIGITAL PERFORMER 10. I'll be honest when I first looked at DIGITAL PERFORMER 10 it really did remind me of ABLETON with the layout. If you are a fan of ABLETON then I think DIGITAL PERFORMER could be worth a look. Here are a few features DIGITAL PERFORMER offers: PLUGINS- EQ, Compressor, Limiter, Reverb, Delay, Chorus etc VIRTUAL INSTRUMENTS- Pianos, Woodwind, Bass etc SYNTHS- Around 4 or 5 synths SAMPLER DRUMS GUITAR FX-Amps etc QUICKSCRIBE EDITOR, NOTATION EDITOR, DRUM EDITOR etc  TIME STRETCH, PITCH SHIFT etc AUTOMATION SPECTRAL DISPLAY MIXING BOARD CONTROL SURFACE SUPPORT The price (as I'm writing this) is around $499. You can get an upgrade from a previous version.  I think DI

Good ole BEHRINGER are back with some new synths and a copy of the classic ROLAND TR808 drum machine. The TR808 has been copied before. Will this one be any better?  Behringer RD 8080 is due for release in March 2019 at around $299.  I think if you are looking to get an 808 on a budget then this could be worth looking at. Now onto hardware synths: PRO 1- If you are thinking of  the classic SEQUENTIAL CIRCUITS PRO ONE synth then yes you would be right. The BEHRINGER PRO ONE is a clone of this. It will be in Eurorack format, price around $299 MS101- Another clone of a ROLAND classic synth. Yes' I'm talking about the ROLAND SH101. It's a keytar as well. Just like the original, with step sequencer etc. Again, around $299 (also due around March 2019) ODYSSEY- What do you think this is a clone of? Again if you said the ARP ODYSSEY you would be correct. This is due for release in Feb 2019 around $499 VC340- This is a vocoder synth. Yes, it's another ROLAND clone. Whi
