Grammys 2010

noreply@blogger.com (redmission) — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 04:20:00 +0000

David Guetta won for "Best Remixed Recording, Non-Classical" for remixing.....himself?? Since when did doing a different version of your own song become a remix? The original was awesome and better than the "remix" any way.

Lady Gaga was the big dance music winner, winning for "Best Electronic/Dance Album" and "Best Dance Recording" for her hit "Poker Face". At least we have a real pop music artist who actually sings live, writes their own songs, and brings synthesizers to the mainstream. Meanwhile, Depeche Mode lost "Best Alternative Album" and "Best Short Form Music Video." MGMT lost their nominations as well.

TR-606 Emulator - Software

noreply@blogger.com (redmission) — Sat, 21 Mar 2009 03:59:00 +0000

The good people at D16, the best producers of Roland-inspired VST software, have a new emulation coming soon: the Nithonat, a faithful reproduction of the Roland TR-606 drum machine. D16 is definitely on a roll. Check out their awesome new VST instrument.

From http://www.d16.pl/:
Nithonat is a classic drum machine box (606 emulation this time). All instruments are fully synthesized and with a way more advanced and extended sound shaping capabilities than its predecessor. Whole functionality of Nithonat is very similar to the other drum machines from D16 Group, which makes it very easy-to-use and creative instrument.

Nithonat has stunning GUI kept in the same fashion as well known Phoscyon's interface. Since the both small brothers are back together shoulder to shoulder.

Nithonat is planned to be released as both VST and AU simultaneously. More information about it is coming soon.
