Music and gear reviews, industry thoughts and grumbles…
The wonderfully excellent Red Dog Music is throwing what is sure to be a wonderfully excellent night of tunes at the equally wonderfully excellent City Cafe in Edinburgh, from 7pm on Thursday 18th April. Full line up TBC, but I’ll be there spinning some deep grooves.
Get this one in your diary folks!
Red Dog Music presents Groove Terrierism
Where- The City Cafe, 19 Blair Street, Edinburgh
When- 7pm-12.30am, Thursday 18th April
Entry- Free
More details will undoubtedly follow!
We all like free plugins, and now there’s another (for a limited time) from Soundtoys. On of the little quirks of this offer is that you need to scour the web for a redeem code, but good news! I have a code here: 234-1740-589 go forth and register!
From Soundtoys:
“Little MicroShift is three classic versions of the widening/spacial effect of micro pitch-shifting in one super easy to use plug-in , and it’s totally free (for a limited time).
Plus by sharing with your friends, you also get a chance to win a classic piece of gear that featured some of the early classic micro pitch-shifting sounds that inspired this plug-in: An original Eventide H3000 D/SE autographed by two of the original designers (that just so happen to work at SoundToys).
The top runners up will also get prizes like free SoundToys bundles, plug-ins, free upgrades to MicroShift™, and cool SoundToys swag.
Don’t have a code yet? Check the audio forums, check FaceBook, check everywhere ’cause that code gets you the free plug-in and gets you your own sharing code. Then you can give yours to all your friends and they can get it for free, too. Plus, each person you sign up with your code, gets you closer to earning more free stuff. Free bundles, t-shirts and upgrades to MicroShift (more details coming soon) and, of course the truly cool classic hardware autographed H3000 D/SE, valued at billions of dollars (assuming our autographs are fetching what we think.)
NOTE: In order to be entered in the contest, you must meet the following criteria:
• You have an iLok USB key and active iLok.com account
• You have an active SoundToys.com account.
• Must be entered before March 29th when the promotion ends.”
So, grab your Little Microshift Code and be merry!
The plan:
“They say that deadlines focus the mind; foster creativity. Well, let’s see. I get home from work after 7, eat, do the chores that need doing, then it’s time for music. At 6.00 am the next morning, the alarm goes off and we start again.
For four nights in March 2013, I will try to start and finish a song each night and compile it as an EP. I might use this opportunity to head out of my usual style a bit, but there are sure to be some deeper grooves in there somewhere.
So, a few nights of little sleep, but hopefully four completed tracks, but expect some rough edges; let’s say that those are caused by all the soul. Catch you on the flip side…”
Two days into things so far, and two tracks up on Amazing Tunes, two more to go and still just about awake…
