FEATURED ARTIST OF THE WEEK: PARALLAX

Hi! Everyone,
This weeks FEATURED ARTIST OF THE WEEK is metal band PARALLAX

1.Please introduce yourself

I'm Simon from the metal band Parallax!

2. How did you get into music?

True story, my neighbour used to blast out Iron Maiden from their bedroom and I sat outside just listening. I eventually got my hands on a copy of "A real live/dead one" and that was it for me.

3. What instruments do you play?

Bass, badly

4. Who are your influences?

In the band, Lamb of God, Pantera, Killswitch Engage, but generally Iron Maiden, Dream Theatre, Protest the Hero, Byzantine, old Metallica etc

5. Tell us about your latest release

We're in the process of finishing our first record. The band is almost a merge of 2 others that often gigged together, AR & ScarCity. It's really interesting how it has turned out and we can't wait to release it.

6. Whats your songwriting process?

Get in a room and just jam! We do have two rules though, a song must have groove and melody.

7. Which musician/ artist would you most like to collaborate with & why?

That is a tough one, not sure where I would even start on that. Personally, I would love to get in the mind of Steve Harris (bassist, Iron Maiden) as that guy is behind so many amazing songs.

8. If you were on a desert island what 3 musical gear would you take?

My bass, my zoom b3 and my macbook

9. Where can fans find your music (links etc)?

Facebook / Instagram / Twitter / YouTube

I would like to say a huge thank you to PARALLAX for taking part in this weeks 'Featured Artist of the Week' 😀😀

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
