Filter Research 3 ReFill - Released!

xodus phoenix — Thu, 10 May 2012 13:01:47 GMT

Filter Research 3 ReFill - Released!

Propellerhead Reason 6 has finally brought together audio inputs, live sampling, and loop playback together in a single product. With all this new audio content flying through the Reason ecosystem, now is the perfect time to introduce Filter Research 3 - Nucleus SoundLab's third product in their innovative series of effects ReFills. This package of evolved effects once again goes beyond the ordinary. Filter Research 3 is packed full of effects that are not only useful production tools, but are often musically inspirational.

The first two Filter Research ReFills created the market for creative effect devices in Reason - but both have now been easily surpassed by Filter Research 3. This new ReFill has been built from the ground up for Propellerhead Reason 6, with every single Combinator using at least one Reason 6 effect device - which are of course Pulveriser, The Echo and Alligator. Also new to Filter Research 3, all patches now feature unique modulation mapping for the Pitch-Bend Wheel. That is of course in addition to unique mappings for all four Combinator Rotaries, Buttons and the Modwheel as usual.

Filter Research 3's standard Combinators are a stunning selection that run the sonic gamut from MIDI-triggered delays, psychotic beat repeaters, guitar amp multi-FX, tuned resonantors, as well as subtle production-ready EQ and Saturation patches. But the centerpiece of this aural experience is once again the Epic Combinators. These six patches by Jeremy Janzen are truly Reason sound design at its finest - . Each Epic Combinator is outfitted with up to 24 macro rotaries in order to give the best possible control experience, while maintaining an elegant simplicity that anyone can take advantage of. If that still sounds intimidating, over sixty minutes of video documentation is included describing how to get the most out of all six patches. Still curious? Meet the Epic Combinators.

200 effect Combinators included.
6 Epic Combinators - including 60+ minutes of HD video documentation.
Each patch uses a at least one new Reason 6 effect device - Pulveriser, The Echo and Alligator.
Each Combinator has all 4 rotaries/buttons uniquely assigned - as well as the Pitch-Bend/Modwheel.
All Combinators created from scratch.
130+ page PDF manual describing each Combinator in-depth.
Requires Reason 6+.

Download the free Demo ReFill right here.

As loyal customers and newsletter subscribers we have a nice discount for you - purchase Filter Research 3 using the discount code evolvedeffects and receive 10% off your order! This discount is good for only the first 50 buyers so act now!

xodus phoenix — Thu, 10 May 2012 12:57:46 GMT

SPECTRA C2 RELEASED & AVAILABLE NOW
Next Generation Pro Audio WideBand Compressor

CLICK HERE FOR FULL SIZE SCREENSHOT

Adelaide SA (MAY, 10, 2012) - Crysonic today released their new version of SPECTRA C2 WIDEBAND AUDIO COMPRESSOR. SPECTRA C2 will is available for both PC & Mac. " We are certain the sound is going to blow your mind! Providing majestic results for all audio material, Spectra C2 is a culmination of our long time efforts to improve upon the current state of the art products available from others and at the same time keeping it simple and quick to use" said James Riley from Crysonic. SPECTRA C2 is a Non-Transparent Compressor which is to say it imparts subtle but very desirable analog characteristics to any signal being processed. The all new Zero latency proprietary physics based algorithm employed allows Spectra C2 to be used in every step of music production from Tracking to Mastering and Live work for both mono and stereo signals..

There is a lot happening under the hood however, the gorgeous new interface enables effective and extremely fast results by dialing in just the right amount of compression. The Ratio is continues and any 'value' can be dialed in as with all the other parameters. The Release can also be set to automatic mode, where up on Spectra C2 chooses the best release value for the incoming audio material, this does however somewhat depend on the attack value set by the user. The CPU utilization is minimal and many instances can be used in a single project, for example a 32 track project can easily have Spectra C2 on each track on a mid range computer system. Crysonic allows each license holder to install Spectra C2 (all their products actually) on up to three music PC's , so if you have a Mac and a PC and a laptop, feel free to install on all of them after purchase.

Demo version of SPECTRA C2 for PC & Mac OSX is now available from the crysonic website www.crysonic.com. Until the 15th of May SPECTRA C2 can be purchased at the Introductory price of $55, then the price will be $159RRP.

The Definitve 80's Beats, They Sound Retro But Are 100% New!

xodus phoenix — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 09:42:58 GMT

Need 80's Drum Loops With A New / Old Twist, Check Out 80's Beats Re-Worked

As you probably know we love our 80's sounds here at Zenhiser and it wouldn't be right to go a few months without a inspirational new 80's pack for you guys to muck around with. So without anymore time wasting we would like to introduce "80's Beats Re-Worked". The idea behind this latest sample pack was to create a new 80' drum beat library that sounded like all those retro beats you remember but adapt both the drum sounds and patterns to create something new and made you say, "Where have I heard that beat from". With this new concept in mind we spent weeks creating a new 80's drum kit (an absolute stunner, coming very soon) with all the bells and whistles bounced and mastered within the drum sounds, then we set off to make a timeless array of 80's drum loops that would inspire producers and remixers to add that 80's sound to their productions. After another hard few weeks in the Zenhiser studio and with us doing all the hard work of perfectly programming, cutting and mastering each drum loop we developed this crafty sample pack of 80's drum loops that you can instantly knowing you've got something fresh to play with without any of the man hours and hard work

Dub Reggae

Riddims to smoke

Reggae Dub is the ideal fusion of Roots Reggae, Dub vibes and modern sound. Laid back riddims, cool Dub FX, deep basses und relaxed guitar licks ensure your DAW‘s next trip to Kingston Town - straight into legendary Studio One.

Reggae Dub - that‘s 2.6GB of real Kingston vibes. 10 comprehensive construction kits with true Roots Reggae grooves build the foundation for authentic tracks. Up to four parts per kit ensure flexibility and fast variations during arrangement. Build your intro, verse and breaks in no time at all with tempos for the kits ranging from relaxed 60BPM to danceable 110BPM.

Dub Reggae offers 707 single-loops with up to eight bars length. These contain hand-played and programmed beats, available as ready-to-use drum-mixes as well as single-tracks for all contained instruments. This grants you with full control over bass drum, snare, hihats, toms, cymbals, percussion and sound-fx to create your own mix and allows easy exchanging of certain elements.

Additional instrumental-tracks include electric basses, subsonic basses, guitar licks and solos, Hammond organ, electric and acoustic pianos as well as synth-pads. And we haven‘t forgotten tape-delay-effects to add some dub spice.

All loops have been recorded and edited with first-class equipment. However, there‘s still enough space for individual sound-design and your personal mixing flavor.

The all new PSP 608 MultiDelay April 1st offer - save 67%!

Griffin Avid — Sat, 31 Mar 2012 11:20:11 GMT

So PSP have done it again. They’ve taken a basic idea, made it sound beautiful and then pushed it just that bit further. The 608 is one of the best-sounding delays available, and no other plug-in so closely resembles a high-powered hardware delay unit.

Computer Music

What I look for in a plug-in is the ability to create musical effects that go some way beyond the norm but without getting so complicated you can't be bothered to use them at all. PSP seem to have exceeded these requirements by going further beyond the norm than usual, but they've still kept the user interface simple and they've created a large library of presets that show off different aspects of the plug-in. Even if you just tweak these rather than starting from scratch, you'll still get a lot out of it, and guitarists in particular will find this a very rewarding plug-in.

Paul White, Sound on Sound Magazine

A multitap delay is an important part of every electronic musician's effects palette, and for quality and ease of use, it's hard to think of a better or more economical choice than the PSP 608.
Len Sasso, Electronic Musician

IK Multimedia Ships iKlip Studio
The Desktop Studio Stand for iPad is now shipping

March 2012 – IK Multimedia proudly announces that iKlip™ Studio, the iPad® desktop studio stand, is now available and shipping worldwide. iKlip Studio is designed and created specifically for musicians but can be used by anyone needing a sturdy, non-slip, adjustable stand for all iPads, including the just released 3rd generation iPad.

iKlip Studio is constructed of lightweight, shock-resistant, durable thermoplastic material that reliably supports the iPad in both horizontal and vertical positions. Rubber foot pads grip the desktop surface and prevent unwanted sliding, and convenient slots in the housing allow access to every port of the device for charging or connecting to external speakers with handy channels for keeping the cables neatly organized.

Apps like synthesizers, beat pads and other instruments can be played energetically on the multi-touch screen with no risk of the device moving or sliding. Its flexible orientation allows its position to tilt from a very low-profile angle – ideal for use with apps like mixers or controllers – to a near-vertical position for use as a reader for tablatures or scores placed behind keyboard controllers.

A detachable bracket is also included to hold IK’s hugely popular iRig™ guitar interface adapter in place and keep it from hanging off the iPad, and for extreme portability, the iKlip Studio folds flat so it can be easily carried in any iPad or laptop bag.

Features:
-Sturdy, durable, lightweight, shock-resistant thermoplastic construction holds your iPad securely without scratching or marring it
-Rubber foot pads grip the desktop and prevent unwanted sliding
-Flexible orientation allows iKlip Studio to be tilted from a very low-profile angle to near-vertical positioning

Imagine a future where things just work. A future where nothing stands in the way of your musical impulses, and you always have the means to act upon them.

Beat Thang Virtual - scaled down version with a lower price

Griffin Avid — Tue, 20 Mar 2012 17:20:28 GMT

BKE's lastest innovation in music production software launches today...

Hello Beat Thang Virtual Users,

First of all, we at BKE aka Beat Kangz Electronics would like to say thank you for your continued support of the Beat Thang and Beat Thang Virtual. We know that you have many options, and the fact that you have chosen our product is appreciated very much.

The purpose of this e-mail is to inform you that our new software, BTV SOLO, is available today. We at BKE decided that in an effort to bring the Beat Thang experience to more people we have created BTV SOLO. BTV SOLO is an introductory version of Beat Thang Virtual. It does not come equipped with a sampler, comes with fewer sounds, and does not have AU/VST plug-in capability. By removing these features we were able to offer BT SOLO at a lower price in the hopes of reaching more people who wanted to experience music production but might not be willing to spend much.

So to avoid any confusion, if you already have Beat Thang Virtual then you are already getting everything that BTV SOLO offers.

We are very excited about this opportunity to bring the heart and soul of the Beat Thang to the masses. If you love Beat Thang Virtual and maybe have some friends and family who would enjoy BTV SOLO, please feel free to let them know of our newest introductory software offer.

Zenhiser 200 Brand New Riser FX, Uplifters & Downshifters

xodus phoenix — Mon, 12 Mar 2012 05:55:16 GMT

We're Back With Another 200 Primed Risers, Uplifters And Downshifter FX

We're back again with the eagerly awaited follow to "Turbo Risers 01", so check your speaker level, sit back and feel the rush with the preview for "Turbo Risers 02".

We love our rise fx and fall fx here at Zenhiser and believe a producer can never have enough of these samples, they are absolutely essential to add tension, drive, anticipation and the all important rush to productions. With this in mind we decided to create a new selection of rises, falls and drops with one thing in mind, Power and Drive! After a few weeks of synthesis manipulation and plug in overload we came up with "Turbo Risers 01 & 02". As with all Zenhiser samples and loops our style and quality has developed over the years which has taken us into a more stylised sample pack array, this has pushed "Turbo Risers" into a brand new sound for our rise and fall fx section. Spanning 200 killer uplifters, downshifters, super fast rise fx shots and incredibly long rise section this is a sample pack that can not be missed. We decided "Turbo Risers" had to be fast, accessible and supply a varied range of sound fx risers, falls and drops at the drop of the hat. As producers we thought "What do we want that we can't get, even from our own Zenhiser sample library" and the answer was rise and fall fx in multiple varied lengths categorized into folders, ready to go and sounding unlike any other sound fx we've heard before. Not only that we wanted something a little different from the standard white noise sound, rises with power, drive ranging from 1 second fast sweeps through to 1.20 minute rise fx. So we did it, and what an awesome array of power rise fx to add to our ever growing Rise & Fall FX Collection.

Staring off with small super fast risers between 1- 3 seconds long, constructed of a little white noise and synth drive these tight rise fx add punch and speed to any genre. Next up, medium rise fx between 4 - 10 seconds long, perfect amount of overdrive, and delivering the standard range of rise fx for building up tracks. Then we move on to large risers and this is where the pack comes into it's own, 10 - 20 second long uplifters with both slow starts and sharp attacks evolving like a whirlwind and pitching up to new heights and screams, perfect for serious anticipation in your tracks. Finally in the rise fx section we've got extra large risers. These risers are 20 second - 1 minute uplifters that take your productions to rush levels never heard before, the build ups in these fx are insane, we added just one to the preview but you get 30 of these monsters in the sample pack! And to finish off the sample pack wouldn't do justice without a folder full of falls, downshifters and drops of varied lengths to bring your track momentum from a fast stop to dizzy slide 20 second slide of destruction.

The length of these rise fx and fall fx samples was paramount but so was the sound as well. We wanted to push these samples to deliver all the power they could and not just supply tones that slid up and down but wobbles, patterns and even kick drum risers, giving your productions something new and exciting. We've added just a few of a favourite rise fx and drops to the preview but this sample pack is packed full of exciting, fresh, evolving sound fx that once purchased will have you wanting to make more tracks just so you can use them in your breakdowns, build ups and transition points.

What's in the pack

40 S - Small Rise FX
50 M - Medium Rise FX
40 L - Large Rise FX
30 XL - Xtra Large Rise FX
40 F - Multiple Fall FX & Drops

IK Multimedia Releases DJ Rig for iOS

xodus phoenix — Mon, 12 Mar 2012 05:52:07 GMT

IK Multimedia Releases DJ Rig for iOS
The Professional DJ Mixing App

March 8, 2012 – IK Multimedia is pleased to announce the release of their first professional DJ Mixing app: DJ Rig — a full-featured, double-deck DJ mixing app for iPhone and iPod touch. DJ Rig provides instant song-playing from the device’s music library, automatic tempo sync and beat match, sample-based pads and performance recording, plus an arsenal of high-quality DJ effects. Together with the just announced iRig MIX, the mobile DJ mixer for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad, DJ Rig represents the most portable solution to DJ anytime and everywhere.

DJ Rig isn’t just another DJ mixing app. Instead, it’s an extremely intuitive, flexible and easy-to-use groove master program with powerful features and intelligent effects that will please even the most professional DJ. Its dual-deck format is as traditional as it gets, but beyond that, there is a world of creative tools – from sync tools to creative effects – that will take DJ-ing on an iOS device to a completely new level that can be used by anyone, everywhere.

Sync Tempo AND Match Beats – Like No Other DJ App
While you can find BPM sync on other DJ apps, none are able to offer beat matching like DJ Rig. This feature allows the automatic synchronization of beats between two songs so the beats are matched and aligned. DJ Rig analyzes your songs and then builds a tempo and beat map so anybody can easily mix at the tap of a button and never miss a beat.

Effects Deck… Unlimited Sonic Possibilities
DJ Rig also features a robust real-time effects processing section that allows DJs to apply various effects to their source material. And with the XY touch interface, they’ll have full creative control of the effect parameters. DJs can choose from spatial effects like reverb, delay and flanger, various pass-through filter effects, distortion, resonance effects and a new stutter effect. Plus, all effects are automatically synched to the tempo.

Sampler Machine
DJ Rig also features an “on-the-fly” sampler that can capture and play sounds from built-in sound banks or for quick sampling of source audio for instant playback and looping. Sounds can be accessed from 9 virtual pads that access a high-quality, expandable sample library.

Scratching with CloneDeck™
DJ Rig features the new turntable modeling technology called CloneDeck™ which provides an ultra-realistic turntable “scratching” feel and sound. CloneDeck™ provides the exact behavior you expect from a real DJ turntable … only in a convenient digital format.

Record and Share Your Mix
You can record your entire mix performances live with the built-in recorder and then export it to your computer.

X-Sync – Sync ANY External Audio Source
DJ Rig features an exclusive X-Sync function that enables the synchronization of music from ANY source — not just music on the iOS device— when used with the iRig MIX portable iOS DJ mixer. With X-Sync, you can connect and cue ANY audio source, and DJ Rig will automatically match the tempo and make seamless transitions.

Musician Coaching - Communication and Branding

Communication and Branding

Posted: 29 Feb 2012 06:30 AM PST

Laurie Jakobsen is the founder and president of Jaybird Communications, a public relations and marketing communications firm that represents a variety of tech companies and innovative start-ups. Laurie has an MBA with marketing specialization from NYU’s Stern School of Business and a BA cum laude in English from Tufts University, along with over 15 years’ experience in public relations and marketing, ranging from artist representation to work with start-up dot-coms and major multi-national music companies. She got her start in the music industry as a fan and began writing about bands in the Arts column of her daily college paper at Tufts University. After interning at many different types of businesses within the music space, she developed a passion for public relations. As part of the boutique firm Shore Fire Media, she was part of the team that represented artists including Bruce Springsteen, Wynton Marsalis and the family of Jimi Hendrix. After working with N2K Encoded Music, the first Internet-focused record label helmed by legendary producer Phil Ramone, she went on to work at a variety of up-and-coming companies in the early days of the Digital Age. In 1999, she was recruited to handle all technology-related communications at Sony Music Entertainment, including the launch of one of the first subscription music services, pressplay. In 2003, Laurie joined The Harry Fox Agency (HFA) to build the company’s marketing and communications department so it would be better suited to the digital marketplace. She has spoken on panels at CMJ and the Miami Music Festival and guest lectured at universities throughout the New York City area on PR topics. Jaybird Communications’ clients include Indaba Music, 7digital, Bandsintown, the National Music Retailers Association (NARM), Tunesat and Cellfish Media. She also works with NY Tech Meetup, a not-for-profit organization supporting and promoting the area’s technology community.

Laurie took some time to talk to me about her experience in the music industry and some qualities both artists and tech entrepreneurs need to have in order to succeed. She also shared some advice for artists looking to improve the way they communicate about their brand, so they can better market themselves and their music and build solid careers.

Musician Coaching:

Thanks so much for taking some time to talk to me, Laurie. How did you get into the music business, and what has the experience of watching all the changes that have taken place been like for you?

LJ:

I got my start like a lot of people do: I was a fan of music. I sometimes joke that if it wasn’t for Duran Duran, I wouldn’t be doing any of this at all. I went to college as an English major, and my school – Tufts University – had a daily newspaper. I noticed it had an Arts column, and it occurred to me that I could get CDs and go see shows and write about them, and even get to interview great musicians. So, that’s exactly what I did. My first taste of the music industry was at 18.

From there, I did a lot of internships to try out different aspects of the industry. First, I interned at Good Times in New York as a writer. I also interned at radio station WFNX in Boston, which connected me to the Musician’s Guide to Touring and Promotion, and I started getting exposed to the PR side of things. I liked the idea of advocating for artists that I liked. For me, the downside of being a writer was the objectivity. I wanted to keep promoting the bands that I really liked, and that seemed to be what these PR folks were doing. Eventually, I came back to New York and got my first job in the public relations field.

In the mid ‘90s, it became clear to me that the Internet offered a lot of opportunities for musicians, and I was ready for a change. There was an opening to start the PR department for a record label run by a company called N2K – which was a very early music distribution site, pre-Amazon, that sold CDs by mail order. That started me on my way on the digital and business side of the industry.

And that’s how I got my start, going from artist PR to the tech side of the business, which is pretty much what I’ve been doing since 1997, believe it or not.

Musician Coaching:

It’s interesting because I’ve interviewed a bunch of publicists, and I don’t know that too many of them have the technical proficiency and writing proficiency. And what made me think of interviewing you was when we sat down, and you discussed that today’s artists – and you may have been referring to both musicians and tech entrepreneurs because now your clients are mostly media and tech companies – really need an education on how to have transactional conversations. Can you speak a little bit more about, in your experience with artists and entrepreneurs, what is lacking and what your service bolsters up that they need?

LJ:

A lot of people have drawn the analogy between musicians and tech startups. And I think it’s very apt, because you do have to have that entrepreneurial personality that I would say suspends disbelief when everyone is telling you, “You’re crazy. You won’t be successful. What are you thinking?” Musicians and startup founders go out there anyway and make it happen.

But when it comes to communications, most musicians have a leg up on their business counterparts. Many musicians have been rehearsing their Rolling Stone or MTV interviews with a hairbrush as much as they were singing along to their favorite tracks. But very few entrepreneurs grew up practicing their Time magazine “Person of the Year” interview. I think what people don’t always realize is that in business – to repeat what you said – communications are transactional. And that can sound a little cold. But whether you’re sitting down in a business development or strategy meeting, or doing an interview with a journalist, there’s a purpose to that conversation; there’s something in the end that will benefit both of you. And the words you choose, the way you present yourself, what you choose to show as a visual, even down to the way you dress and the setting of the meeting is all part of that transaction. As a communications person, when you’re counseling people about interviews, they’ll sometimes think the conversation is a toss-off: “I’m just talking. It’s not a big deal.” There is no such thing as “just talking” with a journalist – always be prepared to see what you say in print.

Whether you are a musician or a businessperson, whatever conversation you’re having, you do need to prepare for it. You need to think about “What is this person coming to the table with? What am I coming to the table with? Where do we meet? Do I have to move this person’s point of view towards mine? Do I have to move towards them?” In order to get the best result for both of you, that’s how you need to approach everything related to your business.

Musician Coaching:

When you said “transactional conversation,” I started to think about a lot of the people who email me. And what’s evident is that they need help. But they don’t know what they need. They often will just say, “Can you get me to the next level?” And that’s something that burns in my soul every time I hear it, because it indicates the person hasn’t thought through what they actually need. And one thing my job isn’t is to figure that out for them. So, in your experience, what do you often wind up guiding musicians and entrepreneurs away from when it comes to their introductory emails?

LJ:

When it comes to plain email communications – and I do general communications coaching too, beyond PR, which is why my company is called Jaybird Communications and not Jaybird PR – it starts at the beginning, with the subject line. First off, have one. The number of people that send emails without subject lines boggles my mind. That subject line should sum up the action item for the person you’re sending it to. That’s how people prioritize their in-box. It may sound funny, but I think the subject line is often overlooked.

Then, when it comes to actually constructing an email communication, it’s not that much different from constructing a press release or other piece of marketing material. It’s your classic “pyramid” construct that everyone probably learned in English and promptly forgot: Be cordial, but state what you’re looking for upfront and include all the supporting information after.

This is the classic style of a newspaper story, which is why I counsel people to read their favorite section of The New York Times every day to get the hang of that format. This structure is not intuitive to everybody, particularly people that come from a more conversational background. They will literally flip the pyramid: you’ll have three paragraphs of background information explaining the situation, and then it concludes with the most important point or action item. That is not the most efficient way to have any sort of business communication.

For some people, they have to learn a new communication style for business communications, and that can be tricky. But as you were saying about those who write you and say, “Get me to the next level,” people need to put a little bit of thought into what they’re asking. Sometimes it’s as easy as, “I’m not quite sure what the next step is. Can I meet with you to brainstorm?” And that’s a more specific question than, “How can you get me to the next level.” I think there’s a subtle difference there.

Musician Coaching:

Absolutely. It’s a very specific request. While I don’t deal with as many entrepreneurs as you do, after I read emails from both artists and entrepreneurs, I understand they have a need, but I don’t understand what they want me to do about it. I realize they are in peril, but I don’t know at what point that became my problem.

LJ:

Exactly. I do short classes on communications, and the one thing that tends to blow people’s minds is that the first rule of communications is “Who is your audience?” That question really dictates everything else. Most people, when they think of communications, would think of it in the first person, as in, this is what I have to say. But communications is actually all about the “you” – the audience. While your message is important, if you can’t figure out how to translate that message to help the “you” – the other side of the conversation – take action, it’s an ineffective communication.

I think if someone is failing to get the response they want from their emails or other communications, they have to go back and ask themselves, “What am I doing that’s not making this email, press release, website, etc., effective?” If you find yourself saying, “My audience just doesn’t get it,” then you need to modify your message for your audience; your audience doesn’t have the incentive to move to meet you.

I think that’s a lesson that can be hard for people, especially innovators, that have sensibilities either musically or business-wise that are ahead of the curve. They have to be aware that there is a giant mass of people in the United States and around the world that have to catch up with you. And even somebody as progressive as Lady Gaga is very aware of her audience and not getting too far ahead of them. You need to look at people like that for the lessons they can teach you as communicators, whether or not you like their art.

Musician Coaching:

Interesting. I wasn’t thinking of communication necessarily beyond words, but you’re talking about communication with imaging and all sorts of other things. What does it look like for you when you’re trying to position your clients without the spoken word? Obviously, you have relationships. But what other forms of context+ are important when you’re presenting something with online marketing materials, etc.?

LJ:

It’s funny to say, but really everything. I think that’s what has changed so much in the past 10-15 years. When I started in this industry, email essentially didn’t exist. You faxed press releases and mailed materials. Some people subscribed to wire services, but the way people interacted with your news was very specific. Now, you have to think about video, pictures, what the website looks like, your blog, you name it. There are so many other avenues of communication, which is great. But you do need to now be hyper-aware of what you are doing with things like Twitter, Facebook, Google+ and whether you host your own website in addition to your social media pages. Everyone needs to be much more aware of media, in all its forms.

The most important part is that you really have to look at communications holistically. What you say on your website can’t be radically different from the way you present yourself on your Twitter page or when you sit down for a meeting in person. Because, in this day and age, the first thing anyone is going to do to get ready to meet with you is search and see what they can find out about you on the Internet, Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook. So you need to know what’s out there and be prepared to address that.

Some of it, too, is that you have to decide the things you’re really good at. I was working with somebody at one point who couldn’t wrap her head around using Twitter, but loved to post video on Facebook. You might think, “Gee, Twitter is easier.” But for some reason, for her, it wasn’t. So, that’s the way she chose to develop her communications. Social media can take a lot of time, so you have to look at what your strengths are.

Also, you have to know what your audience responds to. Particularly if you’re getting into something that is very mass market, people are still going to want to call you up and talk on the phone. You still have to have that 1-800 line. If your customer service is only through Twitter, for example, it’s not going to do it for a mass market audience. But it’s perfectly appropriate for a social media app. As I said, communication always goes back to who your audience is and what they respond to best. And then you put that together with what you’re good at and either decide, “I need to get better at A, B and C,” or, “Even though I like doing a couple of these things, I really don’t need to invest as much time and money on that, because it doesn’t mesh with my audience.”

If you’re a musician, I think Twitter and Facebook both present an opportunity to really sit down and talk to your fans about who you are vs. just promoting your product. To go back to Lady Gaga, she’s been a master at this. Her fans feel intimately connected to her because of what she does on social media. And that’s absolutely fantastic. It’s not for every artist, but it’s an example of what you can do.

Musician Coaching:

I know you’re working with companies like Indaba, 7digital – a music distribution company – and also Bandsintown – a company that works with Facebook to support artists’ live dates. And you’re working with Cellfish Media, who owns Bandsintown and produces a lot of app content, including things for the NFL, NBA and NHL. And of course, you work with NARM and their digitalmusic.org arm. As somebody who is very much on the cusp of helping media technologies develop, do you have any insight about specific areas of growth that both musicians and entrepreneurs should be aware of?

LJ:

I think we’ve all been waiting for mobile to happen in the United States, but it hasn’t quite hit yet. And I think the move to HTML5 is going to be a real watershed moment once it hits critical mass, because right now we live in this split iOS/Android world. How those various markets operate creates lots of difficulties for people that want to be on mobile because it’s such an investment to support multiple platforms.

I think the reality is, as smartphones are adopted more and more, people are just going to go straight to the Internet to get everything they need on their phones. So, I think while apps are very hot, and I’m sure they will stay that way, as Internet connectivity on phones gets better, the need for a specific app becomes less critical.

At the same time, people have been saying the ringtone market is over. But that’s just not true. Cellfish happens to distribute what was the #1 ringtone on iOS in January, which was the “Mom, Mom, Mom” Stewie quote from Family Guy. So, there’s still an incredible market for ringtones.

There’s also still a lot of room for development on platforms like Facebook. You can look at something like what Bandsintown does: Making it easier for artists to promote their shows and get their fans to communicate about them, which ultimately gets more people out to the gigs. There’s still so much that can be done on all these platforms. So, I think there’s a lot to be expanded upon in the media realms that we already know. But we have to be careful not to get too ahead of ourselves by saying, “What’s the next thing? What’s the newest thing?”

This is particularly true if you’re a musician. If you’re Trent Reznor, you obviously want to be on the next and the newest thing. But if you’re somebody that wants to appeal to a big audience – going back to what I keep hammering home about “audience, audience, audience” – you might not want to be so far ahead of them. For example, speaking in a gross generalization, let’s say you’re a classic country artist. It’s not that this audience doesn’t use cell phones, but they may not be using them to text as much or post to Twitter. As I said before, you want to be where they are, not way, way ahead of them. That doesn’t sync well with that audience.

In terms of specific trends, I would definitely say to look out for HTML5, which will help developers go beyond the siloed app experience of, “This is what you can do on your iPhone. And this is what you can do on your Android device, your BlackBerry, or whatever else.” And I’m always fascinated by what I see at NY Tech Meetup because it’s the cutting-edge businesses that come to their events. They’re often barely a company, just one or two people with an idea, and they’ll demo something that’s very early stage.

I love to see how people put their ideas together. I don’t represent this company, but my mind was blown by Shapeways, who did an NYTM demo late last year, because they took something that is on the market – 3D design and printing – and made it accessible to everybody. I gave gift certificates to my artist friends for the holidays so they could render their designs in ceramic, metal or plastic for the first time, no sculpting required. I’m always intrigued by companies that make it easy for people to realize their creative ideas.

Laurie has moved away from representing artists and now mostly works with innovative tech companies and start-ups within the music space. To learn more about Laurie Jakobsen and her company, visit the Jaybird Communications website. You can also follow her on Twitter.

EpiK DrumS - Bob Siebenberg Kit for BFD2.

xodus phoenix — Fri, 24 Feb 2012 23:44:20 GMT

This Special Edition Artist Pack contains only the drumkit (no grooves) samples from master drummer, Bob Siebenberg, known for his platinum selling work with Supertramp.

EpiK DrumS – A Ken Scott Collection is a Sonic Reality virtual instrument/plug-in for drum kits and grooves with the authentic sound and feel of classic rock records. It features 5 of the world’s best drummers recorded by legendary producer/engineer Ken Scott.

In EpiK DrumS, Ken recreated the drum sounds of multi-track studio sessions he recorded with David Bowie, Supertramp, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Dixie Dregs, Missing Persons, Elton John and The Beatles. The most authentic classic drums were achieved from using the same rare recording equipment, the same instruments, expert technical assistance from Ross Garfield “The Drum Doctor”, advanced sound development by Sonic Reality and collaboration with the original drummers Bill Cobham, Terry Bozzio, Woody Woodmansey, Bob Siebenberg and Rod Morgenstein. All together this makes up one of the most EPIK productions ever for a software drum instrument.

ABOUT KEN SCOTT

Ken Scott is a legendary British recording engineer and producer who recorded The Beatles, David Bowie, Elton John, Supertramp, Pink Floyd, Jeff Beck, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Billy Cobham, Duran Duran, Dixie Dregs, Missing Persons, Devo, Lou Reed, America, George Harrison and many other iconic artists in music history. He had his start in the 60s working as a Tape Op at Abbey Road Studios and from there went on to engineer and produce some of the most acclaimed albums of the 20th Century. Ken has recorded timeless songs such as "I Am The Walrus", "Rocket Man", "Ziggy Stardust", "Dreamer", "Walk On The Wild Side" and many others. One of the unique aspects of Ken’s career in music is the diversity of iconic styles he has been a part of from the 60’s to today… from the birth of Modern Rock ‘n’ Roll (Beatles) to Glam Rock (Bowie) to Fusion (Mahavishnu Orchestra) to New Wave (Missing Persons, Devo) and more.   Ken Scott has collaborated with Sonic Reality to capture samples in a modern software instrument with some of the most sought after distinct character sounds he has recorded over the years. These are sounds that might otherwise be lost in history, but with the same great ears, technique and style Ken has preserved a sonic part of his legacy to bring inspiration to new musicians all over the world.
