4 down, 2 to go

aye, that volca series looks/sounds the business. I'm keen for these roland products though. hopefully they live up to the hype. Also really diggin Elektrons new analogue drum machine.

Good tips. best one thats not there for me though... * employ the services of a professional mastering engineer

Anticipation better be worth it.....

unfortunately you'll find that you really do get what you pay for with vst's. I can't think of any decent ones for under $100. It's worth investing the money in good sound units though.

More about genre changes and aliases than specific genre. title story is about making house music specifically

i've totally slipped with tunes in recent months... catching up with this one..

haha. sounds like it

welcome yo

idiots.

not a patch on this shit...

Scotland has 3am finishing times. Certainly in Glasgow it just causes trouble as you have everyone leaving clubs at the same time, massive queue's for taxis which usually involve a fair bit of agro from the booze boys. It does create a pretty special clubbing atmosphere though.. also leads to a healthy illegal after party scene.

Nah, the population for the whole of england is around the 60 million mark.

inside their grammy booth... http://www.djtechtools.com/2014/01/27/i ... e-grammys/

London doesn't have 60 million people living in it.

depends if you want the monikers associated with one another really.

It's got a release date and price... NAMM 2014: Bitwig Studio DAW release date and price announced You'll need $399/€299 and you can have it on 26 March Ben Rogerson (Computer Music)19 hours ago NAMM 2014: No, you're not dreaming - two years after it was first announced, and following countless teaser videos, we can confirm that Bitwig Studio will be released on 26 March 2014. What's more, we know how much it'll cost - $399/€299 for the download version. This means that Bitwig has undercut Ableton's Live 9, their software's most natural rival in the DAW market, though perhaps not by as much as some people were expecting. Boxed versions will also be available for $449.99/399.99(MSRP/MAP) and €329. Billed as a piece of "new and innovative music creation, recording, and performance software," Bitwig Studio supports Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Out of the box you get more than 50 'devices', including instruments, effects and more. The software is also VST plugin-compatible. As well as launching the full product on 26 March, Bitwig will also be offering a free demo. We'd say this is an essential move - if the company is to coax users away from other DAWs (and, if it's going to succeed, it'll have to) it's got to give them a chance to sample the goods before they pay for them. Bitwig has also confirmed that it'll be exhibiting at the NAMM Show, offering product demonstrations and showcasing Bitwig Studio's Open Controller API with its partners Nektar, Livid Instruments and Novation. Bitwig says that the API offers "unprecedented possibilities to integrate hardware and software". We'll put this claim, and others, to the test as soon as we can. In the meantime, here's the Bitwig press release in full.
