Sounds To Sample Glitch & Twist Vocals WAV

Daft Vocoders, Glitched Vox FX, Nu-Noise Choirs, Twisted Spoken Clips and Pseudo-Melodics in this 150+ strong collection of all-new royalty free vocal loops at 125 and 128bpm.

Glitch & Twist Vocals takes a concertedly obtuse approach to vocals – jettisoning high end mics for instant song-starting toplines and hooks.

Aimed at producers in the house, electro, nu-disco, minimal, tech and breaks arenas, the release is broken into six packed folders for:

Electric (Vocoders, Robotics, Extreme Autotuning),

Glitched (From the sublime to the deranged – seriously messed up workouts),

Melodic (treated melodic lines),

Nu-Choir (Big gospel style chorus ensembles deconstructed then re-constructed for big-tune toplines),

Sleaze (Punk robotics, Group shout-outs) and

Spoken Clips (Purely spoken).

All loops are offered copyright-free with tempos named.

Featuring a wealth of original vocal talent from both male and female session singers, this pack aims to provide both song-starting toplines, organic detail to flesh out beats and a wealth of messed-up fills.

Songwriting Techniques #1 Alex Kapranos TUTORIAL

We’re thrilled to release our first ever series with Alex Kapranos, frontman of the Scottish rock band Franz Ferdinand! We joined the acclaimed musician at Motorbass Studio to explore his diversity of influences and unconventional approaches to songwriting. Alex reveals his most notable inspirations, sourced from music, literature, and visual arts. Referencing original compositions and the work of others, he discusses pertinent elements of effective songs – vocal performance, phrase repetition, wordplay, vulnerability, and more. With his own voice and guitar, he demonstrates how chord progressions, melodies, song key, and arrangement can be altered to evoke certain reactions in the listener. He shares alternative methods of triggering creativity that involve setting restrictions and encouraging non-literal interpretation of lyrics delivered in a certain way. Using Ableton Live and a Novation Launchkey, Alex shows his process of building track foundations, developing melodic ideas, and many other aspects of his songwriting workflow!

Inspiration, vulnerability, collaboration, breaking patterns, taking notes, repetition, phrasing

PART 2

Musical Notation in the West (Cambridge Introductions to Music) PDF

By | June 14, 2021

Musical Notation in the West (Cambridge Introductions to Music) PDF

Musical Notation in the West (Cambridge Introductions to Music) PDF

Musical notation is a powerful system of communication between musicians, using sophisticated symbolic, primarily non-verbal means to express musical events in visual symbols. Many musicians take the system for granted, having internalized it and their strategies for reading it and translating it into sound over long years of study and practice. This book traces the development of that system by combining chronological and thematic approaches to show the historical and musical context in which these developments took place. Simultaneously, the book considers the way in which this symbolic language communicates to those literate in it, discussing how its features facilitate or hinder fluent comprehension in the real-time environment of performance. Moreover, the topic of musical as opposed to notational innovation forms another thread of the treatment, as the author investigates instances where musical developments stimulated notational attributes, or notational innovations made practicable advances in musical style.

We truly believe he has over delivered with this ground-breaking bundle.

As with every product we release, we strive to deliver the highest quality samples in the industry and this sample library is no exception. This sample library contains the true, popular, trending club sounds that are being played by DJs around the globe right now – truly fresh, inspirational, and road-tested by the pros.

No need to waste time searching online communities – we give you the actual sounds professional producers are using in the studio.
