I come from Ensoniq EPS/ASR10 methodology. I’ve scoured the city and internet for SCSI drives and accessories. I have more frequently embraced digital audio workstations. My subscription to the “only use this DAW” theory went out the window years ago when developers started thinking like producers and hardware. Case in point: Reason 6 by Propellerheads Software. I have worked with various versions and I love the interface. The devices are solid. The merger of Reason + Record into Reason 6 makes it a worthy contender in the DAW arena.

Reason 6 is available September 30, 2011.

Remix: Alicia Keys Fallin’

I joined Indaba Music’s producing community online awhile back. It’s a good site for collaborating and networking your music. There are a lot of musicians ranging from amateur to pro. So if you like receiving feedback (good and bad) it’s worth exploring.

If you wanna enter the next level of recording and producing there is a feature called “Mantis“. This interface allows you to record and collaborate in a virtual session using your web browser. With a broadband internet connection you can work with other artists and musicians online. Suppose you have a solid foundation for a song but just need a little extra somethin’ – you can jam with other Indaba users to bang out your next hit. If you sign up for a pro or platinum account, additional features such as a larger sound library become available.

The remix opportunities on Indaba allow you to remix a song for an established artist. The Alicia Keys remix opportunity is an great example of how to generate interest. Check out my remix to Alicia Keys – Fallin’. If you dig it – vote for it! Peace out to Stace P for the dub guitar hits and sequencing tips.
