I found this link posted on a forum I read and thought I’d share it with you blog readers. The video is a step-by-step walk on how to produce the Prodigy’s track Smack My Bitch Up. I’m not sure you’d ever really want to do this but it’s an interesting look at the power of Ableton, and how you can remix with it.
Re:produce 003: TOWMF, the latest in our new line is a pack from TOWMF (The Ones With Many Faces), a collaborative project from Patrick Campbell – Rift- and myself. Together we have releases on Vellum Recordings, Thoughtless Music and Lobotomy as well as a strong focus on multimedia arts with sound design.
We’re really excited to showcase a main conceptual side of our compositions stemming from our use of field and foley samples captured in the moment. Re:produce 003 includes over 140 MBs of 24 Bit, Ableton-ready WAV audio files with recordings of pouring rice, crushing cans, crinkling bags, shaking or grinding coffee beans, giving rise to epic crescendos and morphed into vesatile rythmic samples including percussion loops, shakers and sound effects. There’s even a NI Battery Kit, with over 30 one-hits, and essential basslines and chords created using analog monophonic and polyphonic synthesizers.
The application of these samples is to give you tools to create contemporary compositions, whether it be for deep, tech house or minimal percussive electronica. However our sample pack reaches far beyond the 124 BPM tempo at which most of the sounds are set, allowing for non-tempo relevant use in any form of audio concoctions.
If you like the use of natural sounds stylistically from artists such as Stimming, Bruno Pronsato, or Thomas Melchior then check out the preview clip attached and see for yourself.
As our re:produce audio sample series evolves our excitement and anticipation grows with each new release, mainly thanks to your wonderful support and feedback! Please keep it coming
Hello everyone out there in the land of Resonance 
.
We are in the midst of exciting times for producers, artists, engineers and musicians! The launch of our innovative new Audio Sample Pack series, re:produce, has just hit the (digital) shelves!
.
The concept is revolutionary: bring you the sounds of today’s most highly respected artists, sounds and artists that you will only find on Resonant Vibes, at an inexpensive price with a regular release schedule on average of every 2 weeks. It’s a chance to borrow, learn from, and be inspired by leading artists, giving you the opportunity to finally answer a question we find ourselves asking over and over: ‘How do I get that result out of my music?’
.
We launched the series with my latest project, Komposit, leading off with an array of Tech and House sounds, fit for a multitude of styles and settings, ranging from 122-128 BPM. These are sounds I take with me on the road for my Live PA performances across the globe, as well as staple sounds appearing in some of my releases alongside Bruno Pronsatto, Touane, Rift, Mikael Stavostrand, Mark Henning and more. Be sure and check out the preview clip because at only $10.00 there really is little room for doubt in purchasing over 120 Megs of high quality sounds, including an NI Battery Kit and pre-mapped Ableton files!

Out Now Exclusively From RV
A few weeks ago, I obtained a copy of MixMeister Fusion. I have used it a few times, but I have a feeling that after more use, I will be able to deliver a more substantive report. For the time being, I’m going to give a little of my background, which will provide some context for my comments, and I will discuss my experience with MixMeister thus far.
.
I have been working with music production software since 2001. The fall of that year, I started as an audio production major at Ohio University. Using Pro Tools, our curriculum progressed as one might imagine, going from simple editing exercises to recording songs for bands and doing film scoring projects. I was fortunate to be able to buy my own Pro Tools rig so I was free to pursue projects outside of my class assignments. Towards the end of my stint in college, one of my professors and I had a few discussions about other DAWs (digital audio workstations) and I decided to pick up a copy of Logic 7. Up to this point, I had been using Pro Tools as a less expensive alternative to analog recording and to take advantage of the ease of editing offered by the tools and graphic interface Pro Tools provided. Logic, on the other hand, was my introduction to all things MIDI. I had touched on MIDI, but before getting Logic, I wasn’t that interested. In very short order, Logic sucked me in with its multitude of synths, sequencers and virtual instruments. In short – I’ve been using Pro Tools for eight years and Logic around four. I’m not an expert, but I’m no slouch either. (For the Chevy Chase fans in the house: “Don’t sell yourself short judge – you’re a tremendous slouch”)
.
.
As followers of the Resonant Vibes Blog know, a few months ago I started putting together a top ten list of new releases and a mix to accompany that list. The first few weeks I used Logic and I was happy with the way the mixes turned out. Despite the overall appreciation for the mixes around the office (more…)
It’s not the Swine Flu, as much as people will have you believe this is the plague of our times; It’s not being in a war-stricken country where the drug cartel boss lands a spot on Forbes ‘Top 100 Millionaires’ list (afterall the last time I played in Juarez it was the bloodiest weekend the city saw last year).
So what is on my mind as I take a 6 AM train through downtown Atlanta on the way to debut my new Komposit Live concept in my most favorite place to play in the world? ‘Where is that Chik-fil-a – in Terminal A or C?’ Believe me – I have earned this chicken biscuit for breakfast after working all week for this weekend’s shows in Juarez, Mexico and Denver, Colorado.
And then the weekend ensues: first stop is tonight in The Stadium, Juarez, with good friends and hosts Clase420, second is Denver on Sunday for an outdoor event @ Bar Standard thanks to Louis and Metro American promotions.
As I touched on before, this trip marks the debut of my KOMPOSIT concept, which promises to be an exciting experience not only for myself but especially the audience. The purpose of this project is not only to have a fresh entity to manifest my Techno-oriented compositions but also to push my own boundaries in a live setting, with absolutely no prearranged or sequenced tracks or sections, only sound loops which I have designed specifically for the moment which I will be piecing together at will using Ableton and my 2 MIDI controllers. The overall set each time will be completely different and will never be reproduced or replicated in another performance. I’ll be posting a live recording of these performances very soon, so be sure to keep your eyes on the RV Blog!
In fact this direction for me was largely inspired by my first sample and sound design project for Resonant Vibes, Sound Theory: 01. It was thanks to working on sounds designed to be simply chucked into a live performance via Ableton that I realized the unparalleled potential of the program.
And now RV and I are teaming up to bring you a series of small sample packs, roughly 100 megs each, that will be released every 2 weeks or so at a great price proportionate to the size of each sample pack. I will be featuring many world-reknowned artists and friends to create sample packs themselves as part of this new series! To start things off will be a Komposit pack featuring sounds I’ve actually used live so keep your eyes locked here as we release more details….
Now then, where was that chicken biscuit????
