These tutorials offer you a deep insight into the world of Steinberg Cubase. Whether you want to make high-quality audio…

Beat / What connection did you have to Tangerine Dream before joining?  Thorsten / As a keyboardist, I was always fascinated by the interviews with Edgar. And when I came to the studio in 2003 and started working on the first album with Edgar in 2004, I was thrilled to see all these synthesizers in real life. Until then, I only knew them from books, magazines, or concert videos – from Tangerine Dream, but also from Genesis. I had long dreamed of working with these originals. I knew, of course, the typical soundtracks – „Sorcerer“, „Love On A Real Train“ from „Risky Business“, and given my age, also the soundtrack to the series „Street Hawk“. I had a compilation, a sort of Greatest Hits, which I bought in a small…

A custica Audio has made a name for itself primarily with its virtual replicas of high-quality studio equipment. Despite often placing a high load on the CPU, these audio effects are very popular due to their excellent, extremely realistic sound. This is also because Acustica Audio uses a mixture of Impulse Responses (that is, samples of the devices) and processing using synthesis. With THING, the Italian company launched its first synthesizer at the end of last year, which also relies on this hybrid concept. This makes sense, since a vintage synthesizer is based on analog circuits just like their successfully emulated studio effects. Emulation of the Prophet-5 Expanse-5 faithfully recreates the sound generation of the Prophet-5, including the outstanding Polymod section for Crossmod & FM. The oscillators, which allow multiple…

With 24 knobs, 8 faders, and 16 multifunction buttons, there are plenty of controls for simultaneously operating parameters in the DAW or a sound generator. Each knob and button features a multicolored LED that you can configure as you like with your own templates. And when using the DAW integration, the colors automatically adjust to the color scheme of the DAW, adopting, for example, the track color you‘ve chosen in Ableton Live. Whereas previously only red, green, and yellow were available, XL3 offers the entire color palette, significantly improving clarity and visual feedback. New design, encoder The design of this controller, which is slightly tilted towards the user, appears slimmer and more modern despite comparable dimensions. The control knobs have a pleasant resistance, the faders are also very easy to…

More Tutorials + Project Data: Download Link see Page 9 Mixing and Mastering are the stages in the Music Production Process that determine whether a track sounds professional and impactful or unbalanced. However, for many Producers, these steps often present the greatest challenges as they require technical understanding, a trained ear, and years of experience. These tutorials show you how to use Equalizers (EQ) and Compressors effectively to shape frequencies, control dynamics, and give your mixes clarity and punch. Another problem is dealing with effects such as Reverb, Delay, and Chorus. How do you use them selectively to create depth and spaciousness without overloading the mix or making it confusing? How do you achieve the right volume and dynamics without the track sounding over-compressed or weak? The tutorials cover techniques…

More Tutorials + Project Data: Download Link see Page 9 Recording audio, whether it’s vocals, instruments, or field recordings, is the first and often most crucial step in music production. However, many problems can arise at this stage that significantly impair the quality of the subsequent Mix and Master. For music producers, whether in a home studio or a professional environment, it is, therefore, essential to master the basics of “recording in general” and avoid typical pitfalls. How do you choose the right microphone for a particular source, and how do you position it optimally to capture the best sound and minimize unwanted reflections or room resonances? The tutorials show you various microphone techniques, how to use boundary microphones, condenser microphones, and dynamic microphones, as well as simple methods for…

Think of the wildest, craziest idea to produce a piece. Do something you‘ve never heard of before. Just three years have passed since Hitech‘s first single. But already, the trio have become part of the legend of Detroit. As soon as you start talking or writing about the band, you almost immediately succumb to romantic exaggerations and journalistic clichés. Their sound is “tough” and “real,” but at the same time full of soul and warmth. It reflects the lights of the clubs and the loneliness of the big city. And in the title of their second album, the trio directly pays tribute to their home city of Detroit – or ‚DÉTWAT,‘ as they would pronounce it. The music on that record harks back to Ghettotech, a genre often considered sleazy,…

Adam Beyer is used to being accused of selling out, having his new material dismissed as a commercial compromise, and his label Drumcode‘s style labelled with the unflattering tagline “yuppie Techno.” Thankfully, however, the Swedish DJ, producer and label owner doesn‘t go looking for answers in social media. To him, the only thing that counts is still the response of the clubs. And even decades into his career, they are all demanding more: more of his inimitable DJ sets and the recognizable yet constantly evolving sound of his artist family. Beyer is certainly not the only pioneer who has changed creatively throughout his career and attracted criticism for doing so. But it‘s also true that Beyer has never made a secret of his love for many different styles of electronic…

Sometimes it‘s the small, distinctive sounds that bring a song to life. This is exactly what Rob Papen is targeting with his latest instrument WirePluck: Three layers, four different engines, and an extensive effect section form the basis for organic and overtone-rich sounds. WirePluck can be played up to 16-voice polyphonic or monophonic. The newly developed Wire Engine provides a wiry base character that is perfect for crisp pluck sounds. The string model is based on Karplus-Strong synthesis and produces string and percussion-like sounds. For those who prefer complexity, the FM engine with its three operators allows for particularly accented transients. The quartet is completed by the classic Wave engine, which offers subtractive synthesis with analog waveforms and noise generators and a resonant multi-mode filter. All layers have their own…

The miniKORG 700 was the first synthesizer produced in series by Korg, essentially marking the commercial debut of the Japanese brand. Shortly thereafter, the 700s was released, offering a significantly expanded sound palette thanks to its second oscillator, serving as the model for the reissues. The faders and switches for the most important sound parameters are placed somewhat unusually below the keyboard on the front panel by today‘s standards, because in the 70s, keyboardists often placed their synthesizer on top of their main instrument, such as an organ or electric piano. The new miniKORG 700Sm retains all the features of the miniKORG 700FS (which was manufactured only in limited quantities), while its size is reduced to about 86% of the original (Small instead of Full Size) partly due to the…

More Tutorials + Project Data: Download Link see Page 9 FL Studio, formerly known as FruityLoops, has had an impressive career since its initial release in 1997, evolving from a simple MIDI sequencer to one of the world‘s most popular Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs). Originally developed by the Belgian company Image-Line, FL Studio is particularly known for its intuitive and fast workflow environment, which allows both beginners and experienced Producers to quickly implement their ideas. The rise of FL Studio is closely linked to the popularity of Electronic Music and Hip Hop. It quickly became a preferred tool for Beatmakers and Producers who value a fast and creative workflow. Pattern-based composition and the step sequencer are key elements that make it particularly easy to create drum patterns, melodies, and chord…

Beat / Bandcamp listening parties, YouTube live streams, Twitch – are these truly different phenomena? What sets Twitch apart? Valdudes / There are some technical aspects that give Twitch the edge. Twitch has the DJ Program, which allows DJs to stream music without having to worry about copyright issues. Plus, the Twitch chat UI is so simple, clean, and compact, it‘s simply a better experience. Chris Cox / Twitch is better developed in creating a more integrated experience as well as community building. It feels like Twitch is a better platform for back-and-forth communication and engagement. Valdudes / Yes, I have made a huge number of virtual friends that I end up meeting and becoming friends with in person. All the DJs aren’t just separate entities doing their thing alone;…

1 Drum Foundation Electric piano, organ and analog drums – sounds like Funk and Soul? Maybe. But with the Sampleson Sonic Explorer Bundle you can also create atmospheric Downtempo, Chillout and Ambient tracks. In this workshop, we show you how. We start with SUB for the drum foundation at 105 BPM. Program a relaxed down-tempo groove. 2 Bass with RAND The first instance provides Kick, Snare and Hi-Hats and the second adds Shaker, Cowbell and Congas, to which we add a Ping-Pong Delay. Now a Bass from RAND comes into play. Create a corresponding preset with the RAND button and adjust it on the Edit Current page as shown. We want to run this sound through Overheat. 3 Bass: Saturation With the settings shown, Overheat gives the Bass gentle, warm…

1 Neurofunk The focus in Neurofunk is on dark, drawn-out bass notes in the Reese style. The sound should appear mechanical, technical, or futuristic. Good patches for this can be found in 015: BS Raspy Unit or 014: BS Specky Phonk. It‘s not so much the melody that‘s important, but rather the texture and pressure. These basslines form the backbone of the track. 2 Musical Foundation To avoid the bass sounding static and too boring, it should be modulated with LFOs, automation or internal effects. Phasers, filters or distortion turn a note into a living sound creature. Movement is a must in Neurofunk. Also sidechain the bass to the kick to ensure enough dynamics, especially in the low-end. 3 Percussive Synths Besides bass and drums, Neurofunk needs resonant percussive synths…

From the very beginning, opinions on Teenage Engineering‘s OP-1 were divided: Some derided it as an overpriced hipster toy, while others adored it as a creative wonder weapon. And there seem to be quite a few of the latter, because after production was temporarily discontinued, the ultra-compact synthesizer and recorder became a sought-after item on the used market, with prices paid even exceeding the already quite high original price. … and its successor Accordingly, the Swedes released a successor model in 2022. The OP-1 Field shows many parallels and significant improvements over the older model, but the confidently set price of 2000 Euro reignited the discussion mentioned above. Now we have received the latest model in the series for testing, the OP-XY, and we‘ll show you what the little tool…
