DRIFT RACER! APP DEMOS? HALION 7?

 Hi! Everyone & welcome back to my music blog. This month I released a new song called: 'DRIFT RACER' which is available to purchase & stream Click Here


This song still has a kinda 80s/ synthwave feel to it. 

 'App Demos' are back on my YouTube channel. This will be a monthly feature.


STEINBERG recently announced HALION 7. What are the new features:

  • SPECTRAL ZONE- Change playback speed (without changing the pitch), Formant shift etc
  • SHAPER ENVELOPE
  • FM LAB- New 'Synth'
  • TALES- A 'Guitar'
  • NEW INTERFACE
  • DECOMPOSE SAMPLES
  • 10 NEW EFFECTS
  • NEW MIXER
  • APPLE SILICON SUPPORT
  • NO NEED FOR A DONGLE 
I'll be honest i've never really been much of a fan the interface for HALION but I think the latest version looks a lot better. 

If you have a license for CUBASE 12 you should be able to upgrade from HALION SONIC SE to HALION SONIC 7 for free. (I'm not sure  if it works with previous versions of Cubase). I have upgraded & not experienced any problems. If you have HALION 6 you can upgrade for around £85, if you purchased HALION 6 on 6th November 2022 or after you should be able to upgrade for free (Go to 'My Steinberg' account & click on vouchers). You can also upgrade from HALION 3-5 at around £171. 


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.

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...
