 Hi! Everyone & welcome back to my music blog. 

ABLETON PUSH 3- Ableton 3 are back with 2 brand new versions of their instrument 'Push'. One of the versions now has the standalone option (which means you can run 'Live' without the computer. It does come with 'Ableton Live' intro)

It features: 

  • Built in Audio interface
  • Midi/ USB 
  • 64 MPE Pads
  • Battery (2.5 hours, 'Standalone' version only)
  • 256 GB SSD Hard-drive('Standalone' version only)
  • 8 GB Ram ('Standalone' version only)
The 'standalone' version is around £1699. If you are not interested in the 'Standalone' version then around £879.

AKAI are back with their 'Standalone' Groovebox 'AKAI PRO MPC ONE +' .

It features:

  • 16GB Storage 
  • 2GB Ram
  • Sampling
  • 128 tracks for sequencing 
  • 8 audio tracks
  • Bright 'Red' Colour
  • 16 velocity pads 

The price is around £689.

APPLE recently announced new music services. Here are some of the new features:

  • Collaborative playlists
  • SharePlay
  • Song Credits- This is good because it should tell you details of who worked on the son. (As a songwriter, Mix & Mastering Engineer myself this is something that I think all platforms should have)
  • Apple Music Sing- See yourself on-scree, apply filters & sing along to lyrics of  your favourite songs

NATIVE INSTRUMENTS has announced that IZOTOPE, BRAINWORX & PLUGIN ALLIANCE are all now part of NATIVE INSTRUMENTS. What does this mean?

  • One login for all accounts (instead of different for each brand)
  • One Customer care centre  (that deals with all the brands)
  • All loyalty, upgrades etc in one place
  • Native Access should have more IZOTOPE products this year & BRAINWORX next year etc
(You may remember SOUNDWIDE last year. I think that is no more)

'MIAMI 1984'- Its been a while since I released an album or EP. My new EP is due for release soon 
Stay tuned for more info!

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?

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...
