Dylan Wissing 70s COP SHOW DRUMS Vol. 5 – The Cocktail Lounge (1976 Mix) WAV

Raw, hard hitting, gritty drums, ripped straight from the headlines (of 1976). Dylan Wissing (Eminem, Kanye, Drake) brings the vibe of all those 70s cop show themes out of the old wooden Magnavox and into your productions. Tight, dead drums with no bottom heads, groovy hats, and of course orchestral percussion.

Volume 5 “1976 Mix” is the soundtrack of the original show, pressed to vinyl, taped on VHS in the 80s, copied to cassette in the 90s. Volume 6 “Phat Mix” is the sound of the original master tapes. Put some fresh aluminum foil on the rabbit ears, crack open a can of Schlitz, and start creating. Who loves ya, baby!

Dylan Wissing exploded onto the international scene drumming on Alicia Keys’ smash hit “Girl on Fire.” His credits include drum tracks for Kanye West, Drake, John Legend, Eminem, Jay Z, Rick Ross, Fabulous, Needtobreathe and many more. Drawing from a huge collection of instruments, both cutting-edge modern and crusty vintage, Dylan creates live drum loops and samples with vibe for days from his own Triple Colossal Studios.

Strum Guitar Kontakt Library

Strum Guitar Kontakt Library

Collection of 4 guitars for Kontakt that play authentic strums. Real strumming patterns with built-in chord recognizer and sequencer. It sounds real because it’s real!

Realistic guitar strums for Kontakt

Strum Guitar is a collection of four guitars where all strums were sampled both up and down stroke. The technique we used to sample these was the same that guitarists play: not all strings are struck, depending on the velocity of the hand. That’s what makes this instrument so unique.

Strum Guitar contains all major and minor chords, upstroke and downstroke, from four guitars: electric, acoustic, electric 12 string and acoustic 12 string.

Includes an intelligent built-in sequencer with chord recognition that will analyse and play the desired chords in a realistic way and with tons of extra feature to make it adapt to the needs of the song.

Strum Guitar will save you time when making a quick demo of your song, and it can also be used for a final production.

Mixer

Strum Guitar features a full mixer with which you can control the guitars separately.

With a load/purge switch for each guitar, pan, volume, mute, solo, doubler and output selector for mixing the different channels in your DAW.

Effects

In the effects page you can add any effect you want in any order.

Including EQ, compressors, modulation effects, distortion, saturation, tape machine, reverbs, amp simulators and more.

This script boosts the sonic capabilities of the library exponentially. Easy to use in a simple and intuitive design.

Sequencer

Fully featured sequencer with a wide variety of the most common guitar patterns ready to play.

We have included a chord recognizer that will trigger different chords so you’re not tied to only major or minor, but you can also play tensions like add9, 7ths and 6ths. Strum Guitar doesn’t support suspended, augmented or diminished chords.

Settings

From the settings page you can control basically any parameter you might ever need.

Includes round-robin, velocity curve shaping of the incoming MIDI notes, volumes of the fret and string noises and envelope for controlling the attack and release times.

  • Size: 4.71 GB
  • Round robin: 4
  • Samples: 3,349
  • Velocity layers: 5
  • Instruments: 4

PUNKADEMIC The Musician’s Guide to Publishing & Performing Rights TUTORIAL

By | June 5, 2021

PUNKADEMIC The Musician’s Guide to Publishing & Performing Rights TUTORIAL

PUNKADEMIC The Musician’s Guide to Publishing & Performing Rights TUTORIAL

Welcome to the “Musician’s Guide” Series!
This series is pulled directly from the courses I’ve created for my university position in Music Business. All of these courses are designed for the everyday musician – amateur or professional – who has little or no knowledge on the topic, but wants to master it.

This class is all about Publishing and Performing Rights. Which is to say: This class is about getting paid for your music.

It is ideal for anyone who writes music. Especially:
•Creators: If you are making music, you need to understand publishing. You are literally giving away money by not setting up publishing correctly.
•Musicians: Performing Rights Organizations pay the creators of music for their “public performance”. That means anytime something you’ve written is played (played live, or even a recording is played in a coffee shop), you get paid.
•Producers: If you are producing music, you need to understand publishing!

In this class, we start with defining “music publishing” – it is a big topic (and has nothing to do with publishing books…). Then I’ll walk you through how to set yourself up as a publisher so you can take advantage of the performing rights organizations that pay the publisher half of your earnings. I’ll walk you through every step of the process and explain the logic behind every concept.

The goal of this class is for you to start getting the money that you are owed for your music.

Genre:
Publishing has no genre – so all are welcome here.

Topics Covered:

  • Publishing
  • Co-Publishers
  • Cashing In on Publishing
  • Performing Rights Organizations
  • Getting Paid from the PRO
  • The Publisher’s Cut
  • ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC
  • Mechanical Licenses
  • The Harry Fox Agency
  • Synchronization Licenses
  • Dramatic Licenses
  • Publisher Agreements
  • Publisher Responsibilities
  • And much, much more!

Physics & Music: Essential Connections & Illuminating Excursions

Physics & Music: Essential Connections & Illuminating Excursions

This book explores the fascinating and intimate relationship between music and physics. Over millennia, the playing of, and listening to music have stimulated creativity and curiosity in people all around the globe. Beginning with the basics, the authors first address the tonal systems of European-type music, comparing them with those of other, distant cultures. They analyze the physical principles of common musical instruments with emphasis on sound creation and particularly charisma. Modern research on the psychology of musical perception – the field known as psychoacoustics – is also described. The sound of orchestras in concert halls is discussed, and its psychoacoustic effects are explained. Finally, the authors touch upon the role of music for our mind and society. Throughout the book, interesting stories and anecdotes give insights into the musical activities of physicists and their interaction with composers and musicians.
