UAD SPARK?

 Universal Audio have announced: 'SPARK'. So what is SPARK? Well, it's a platform that allows you to run their plugins natively without the Universal Audios hardware via subscription. At the time of writing this not all their plugins are available on the 'Spark' platform. (ONLY available on MAC for now. Windows is due later 2022)

Here is a list of the plugins (available now):

  • TELETRONIX LA2A COLLECTION
  • API 2500 BUS COMPRESSOR
  • UA 1176 COLLECTION
  • PURE PLATE REVERB
  • GALAXY TAPE ECHO
  • LEXICON 224 DIGITAL REVERB
  • API VISION CHANNEL STRIP PLUS
  • NEVE 1073 PREAMP & EQ
  • STUDER A800 TAPE MACHINE
  • OPAL SYNTHESIZER (Exclusive to SPARK)
  • MOOG MINIMOOG
  • WATERFALL B3
If you own any of the above plugins you should get them for free on UA SPARK via UA CONNECT. (You will need an ILOK account)

The subscription is around $20 (plus taxes outside the US). 

Im assuming that more plugins will be added soon. At the moment there don't seem to be many for around $20 a month. There is a 14 day free trial. If you have purchased VOLT you should get 1 month free trial. 

Hmmm! I'll be honest I like that idea of having the instruments native, i'm not really sure about it being a subscription service. Maybe if there was a choice between subscription & buying the plugins outright natively, that would be better. I do own & use some UAD plugins for mixing.

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

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...

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
