Depeche Mode FAQ: All That’s Left to Know About the World’s Finest Synth-Pop Band PDF

Depeche Mode FAQ: All That’s Left to Know About the World’s Finest Synth-Pop Band PDF

Depeche Mode FAQ: All That’s Left to Know About the World’s Finest Synth-Pop Band PDF

The preeminent synth-pop outfit for four decades, Depeche Mode have endured an ever-shifting musical landscape, rising above fads and battles with personal demons, somehow managing to retain a hold on the charts and the audience, the latter which continues to grow as new generations discover them and become “devotees.”

Depeche Mode FAQ: All That’s Left to Know About the World’s Finest Synth-Pop Band shows how a group of schoolmates influenced by the likes of Kraftwerk, Joy Division, and mid-period David Bowie carved out their own musical niche until they became one of the most influential bands to come out of England. Depeche Mode were Europe’s best-kept secret in the early ’80s with the albums Construction Time Again and the—perhaps—tongue-in-cheek-titled Music for the Masses. They became a worldwide phenomenon as the ’90s dawned, with the landmark LP Violator, containing the smash hits “Personal Jesus,” “Enjoy the Silence,” and “Policy of Truth.”

But success came at a price as depression, alcoholism, drug addiction, and personnel departures threatened to derail the band. It wasn’t a question of whether the music of Depeche Mode would be able to withstand fickle industry changes, but rather if the members of the group themselves could make it out alive. Depeche Mode FAQ shows how they did, becoming legends in the process.

Oversampled Ultimate Future Bass Toolkit WAV MIDI

Oversampled Ultimate Future Bass Toolkit WAV MIDI

Oversampled Ultimate Future Bass Toolkit WAV MIDI

Peter, a CEO of Oversampled, has gathered one of the best future bass producers and sound designers to create the Ultimate Future Bass Toolkit.

With over 7 years of professionally making future bass he decided it’s finally time to share his sound with the world. ​

Since this is “The Ultimate” pack for Future Bass, we went for all sorts of different fells. Epic, heavy, poppy, emotional and more.

INSIDE THE PACK:

DRUMS
One of our favorite things to create are drum loops. That’s what brings your track to life and gives it bounce. There are those exciting buildup drums, bouncy drop loops and top loops to add movement. Each one-shot has gone through an advanced post-processing. Transient designing, dynamic control, tone shaping, layering, saturating and more.

MELODIES
We all know that creating a memorable melody isn’t an easy task, but it is something that will make your songs stand out. We took a look at top artists and studied the way they craft their melodies. We put all the knowledge (+our years of experience) together and designed unique melody loops that stay in your head for a long time. This pack includes more than melody loops: chordstacks, guitar loops, pads, piano loops and more.

VOCALS
Every producer knows finding that perfect vocal for your track is super hard. That’s why we hired professional singers (yes! those you hear on your favorite, popular future bass labels) to create a bunch of acapellas for you to use in your songs. Each acapella has lead vocals, harmonies, adlibs, effects, they’re basically full vocals for full tracks. Separately we couldn’t forget about vocal chops and oneshots so you will find them in this pack too.

PLAYABLE INSTRUMENTS
Playable instruments are very useful. Just slap them into the sampler and be able to play your own melodies without an actual synth! We’ve included synth, brass and vocal one-shots. Of course we didn’t forget about basses! Future Bass genre has some trap elements in it and one of them are 808s. Those sounds create that pleasant, saucy low-end that everyone likes.

EFFECTS
What makes a track exciting are transitions. We’ve included sounds from sweeps, risers, fallers, impacts to fills that will help you create smooth transitions between sections and keep your listeners engaged.

BONUS MIDIs
Never feel uninspired again with a 100 bonus MIDI files. Full melody loops will help you kickstart your creative process making you feel inspired and motivated to create.

SAMPLE AMOUNT (1520):

  • Drums (700)
  • Melodies (250)
  • Vocals (125)
  • Playable Instruments (165)
  • Effects (180)
  • Bonus MIDIs (100)

Adventures of a Jazz Age Lawyer: Nathan Burkan and the Making of American Popular Culture

Adventures of a Jazz Age Lawyer: Nathan Burkan and the Making of American Popular Culture

Adventures of a Jazz Age Lawyer: Nathan Burkan & the Making of American Popular Culture

Adventures of a Jazz Age Lawyer is the lively story of legal giant Nathan Burkan, whose career encapsulated the coming of age of the institutions, archetypes, and attitudes that define American popular culture. With a client list that included Charlie Chaplin, Al Jolson, Frank Costello, Victor Herbert, Mae West, Gloria Morgan Vanderbilt, Arnold Rothstein, and Samuel Goldwyn, Burkan was “New York’s Spotlight Lawyer” for more than three decades. He was one of the principal authors of the epochal Copyright Act of 1909 and the guiding spirit behind the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers (Ascap), which provided the first practical means for songwriters to collect royalties for public performances of their works, revolutionizing the music business and the sound of popular music. While the entertainment world adapted to the disruptive technologies of recorded sound, motion pictures, and broadcasting, Burkan’s groundbreaking work laid the legal foundation for the Great American Songbook and the Golden Age of Hollywood, and it continues to influence popular culture today.

Gary A. Rosen tells stories of dramatic and uproarious courtroom confrontations, scandalous escapades of the rich and famous, and momentous clashes of powerful political, economic, and cultural forces. Out of these conflicts, the United States emerged as the world’s leading exporter of creative energy. Adventures of a Jazz Age Lawyer is an engaging look at the life of Nathan Burkan, a captivating history of entertainment and intellectual property law in the early twentieth century, and a rich source of new discoveries for anyone interested in the spirit of the Jazz Age.

Son of a Milkman: My Crazy Life with Tesla

Son of a Milkman: My Crazy Life with Tesla

Brian Wheat is far from your typical rock star. As bassist for the multi-platinum band, Tesla, he’s enjoyed the spoils of success and lived the sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle to the hilt. But it came at a cost, one that took years to repair.

In this deeply honest and utterly revealing memoir, Wheat sheds light on the many challenges he faces, including bulimia, weight issues, and the crippling anxiety and depression caused by his conditions. Just like the songs his legendary band made, this is no-nonsense, blue-collar storytelling at its best. While revealing the vulnerable human behind the bass guitar, this autobiography also offers tremendous stories of life on the road, and collaborations and encounters with legendary figures like his pals in Def Leppard, David Lee Roth, Alice Cooper, and Paul McCartney. Son of a Milkman will entertain, surprise, and inspire longtime fans of this enduring band.

Soundiron Kalimba v3.0 KONTAKT

By | August 31, 2021

Soundiron Kalimba v3.0 KONTAKT

Soundiron Kalimba v3.0 KONTAKT

The Kalimba is a modernized version of the ancient African Mbira, also often called a thumb piano. It has a humble, melodious percussive plucking sound with a marimba-like warmth and tonal body. It is often used in conjunction with pianos and other tuned percussion instruments to add a sharper attack and playfulness to the sound. Our instruments were made of wood and coconut shell, with hammered steel tines suspended over their sound holes. The notes span about an octave and a half for the smaller of our two instruments and over two octaves for the larger kalimba.

We recorded kalimbas in 3 different environments: Close and Dry in our studio; at medium distance in a small bright chamber; and in a large, long linear hall, at both close (1 meter) and far (15 meters) microphone distances. We call our long hall “The Bunker”, because that’s exactly what it really is – a deep underground World War 1-era artillery bunker. It’s one of our favorite secret locations, used for some parts of the Rust 2 library and several other instruments in our collection. The dry recording was done with a stereo pair of large-diaphragm condensers at 2 inches away in a very dry space. You’ll hear a little bit of wood scuffing and creaking. We think those elements help to give the instruments a truer life-like sound and feel.

For Kalimba 3.0, we remastered the samples, inserted them into our efficient four-layer modular template, and created brand new ambient pads and soundscapes from the raw source content. We also designed 20 new custom FX presets to give you instant inspiration for your next film/video game score, soundtrack or music composition.

CONTENTS

The Kontakt interface includes a suite of automation-ready sound-shaping controls to give you total creative flexibility. You have control over swell, attack, release, offset, vibrato, filter, pitch (coarse & fine), articulation switching, cross-fading and layering, and so much more. We’ve also included 20 unique sound-designed custom FX presets to give you lots of creative options.

This library comes with an adaptable LFO system, with selectable LFO shape, modulation target parameter, speed, intensity, tempo-syncing and fade-in time. You can also apply your choice of 12 lowpass, high-pass and FX filters, with assignable modulation targets such as velocity, modwheel, expression, after-touch, key position and step-sequencer table control. Our customizable arpeggiator offers a velocity table and control over arp direction, timing, swing, randomization and duration. We’ve included a key and scale lock system to constrain your notes to common scales and keys for easy melodic composition and live performance.

The interface is rounded-out by our modular FX rack panel, with 18 different DSP effect modules that you can assign in any of 10 available slots, in any order that you wish. You’ll find classic phaser, flanger, delay, distortion, amp and cab simulators, compressors, EQ, rotator and so much more. The Reverb effect includes our favorite convolution reverb impulse responses, including 99 different rooms, halls, chambers and outdoor environments, plus another 40 custom FX impulses to radically transform the sound and open up whole new worlds of musical possibility. We’ve added a great bank of FX rack chain factory presets to get you started!

English & German Diction for Singers: A Comparative Approach PDF

English & German Diction for Singers: A Comparative Approach PDF

Lyric diction is a portal to powerful and meaningful vocal performance because diction enables singers to communicate the vision of both the poet and the composer. The study of diction involves learning to perceive speech patterns in different languages, practicing their precise articulation, recognizing this in speech and singing, and developing an awareness of the refined movements of the articulators and their effects on singing tone.

In the second edition of English and German Diction for Singers, Amanda Johnston continues her comparative, modernized approach to lyric diction. This comprehensive resource offers a thorough analysis of the German and English languages and includes extensive oral drills, word lists, tables, charts, musical examples, and even tongue twisters. Unique to this publication is the illustration of the rhythmic timing and release of consonants within the International Phonetic Alphabet transcriptions in all musical examples.

This book is designed for both undergraduate and graduate courses in German and English lyric diction and is an invaluable resource for classical singers, vocal coaches, and voice teachers alike.

Improvements to the second edition include:

An online workbook that includes extensive written exercises suitable for classroom or independent use Chapter-by-chapter video clips that demonstrate the concepts addressed in the text
Expanded chapters address the schwa, the treatment of monosyllabic incidental words, the use of R, and the correct formation of the elusive upsilon and extended epsilon Consideration of loan words and stressed vs. unstressed closed German vowels Integrated practice drills for mastering challenging and unfamiliar phonemes
Enlarged musical examples show the rhythmic timing and release of voiced and voiceless consonants An expanded appendix on suggested repertoire for diction study Inclusion of specific diction choices suitable for musical theatre repertoire Expanded discussion of healthy glottal onsets, including the concept of juncture Use of the latest resources, namely Deutsche Rechtschreibung (2014) and Cambridge Pronouncing Dictionary, 18th edition (2011) For all users, there is a WORKBOOK.

Musician-Teacher Collaborations: Altering the Chord PDF

Musician-Teacher Collaborations: Altering the Chord PDF

Musician-Teacher Collaborations: Altering the Chord PDF

Musician-Teacher Collaborations: Altering the Chord explores the dynamics between musicians and teachers within educational settings, illustrating how new musical worlds are discovered and accessed through music-in-education initiatives. An international array of scholars from ten countries present leading debates and issues—both theoretical and empirical—in order to identify and expand upon key questions: How are visiting musicians perceived by various stakeholders? What opportunities and challenges do musicians bring to educational spaces? Why are such initiatives often seen as “saving” children, music, and education?

The text is organized into three parts:
Critical Insights presents new theoretical frameworks and concepts, providing alternative perspectives on musician-teacher collaboration.
Crossing Boundaries addresses the challenges faced by visiting musicians and teaching artists in educational contexts while discussing the contributions of such music-in-education initiatives.

Crossing Boundaries addresses the challenges faced by visiting musicians and teaching artists in educational contexts while discussing the contributions of such music-in-education initiatives.

Working Towards Partnership tackles some dominant narratives and perspectives in the field through a series of empirically-based chapters discussing musician-teacher collaboration as a field of tension.

In twenty chapters, Musician-Teacher Collaborations offers critical insights into the pedagogical role music plays within educational frameworks. The geographical diversity of its contributors ensures varied and context-specific arguments while also speaking to the larger issues at play. When musicians and teachers collaborate, one is in the space of the other and vice versa. Musician-Teacher Collaborations analyzes the complex ways in which these spaces are inevitably altered.
