New Tune: You're Just In Love
Check out You're Just In Love Mix 2 in the playlist here.
I got to go in the studio last week to be a guinea pig for a recording class. It was the Flashpoint academy in downtown Chicago. It was a beautiful space and we just recorded tunes for about 4 hours.

Sonicville Newsletter: Issue #1
** Sonicville Newsletter: Issue 1 **
What a great first month Sonicville had. If ever there was a better composition and sound design social network, I never found it.
Sonicville has only been around about 3 weeks - but I want to share some of the exciting events in case you missed them.
1) We have a job board. Not only that, but it has a real job posting!

Swipe It, Yoko Kanno and the Ghost of Bill Chase
I just added a new song called "Swipe It" in my flash music player. This was for a promo where we were trying to encourage our video game players to swipe their cards in our machines to identify themselves. It had a video that went along with it but I can't find that right now.
Two interesting things about this:
1) That is me whispering the "swipe it" in the song and at the end of the song I needed a big crowd yelling. It so happened that our company of 100 was getting a group photo outside our… Continue

Nice pre-release article about our Wii game
Here is an article talking about our first Wii release.
We actually made the game for the arcade but are now porting it over to the Wii. Well, we aren't porting it but someone is. Hopefully it will do well and we get to do more. We have struggled in the home market in the past.

My First Broadway Big Band Demo
I just added 8 little clips to my playlist.
This is my first attempt at using the Broadway Big Band library and I am pretty happy. The horns and the drums are from the library, the bass is a Trilogy and there are some steel drums on top that I got from a different library.
Let me know what you think of the examples.

- Hi Matt,
At the minute I'm doing a lot of lecturing in sound recording techniques and computer music systems. In between that I'm working on the music for an independent Xbox game by Retroburn Games, its a helicopter based first person shooter, recording musicians and bands at my own studio and composing music that I hope to get into some libraries at some point. Hoping to meet some people on here for advice and networking as I'm relatively new to the video game music and sound library game! I'll hopefully have some samples up soon.

- Hello Matt. Thanks for the welcome.
I work as a freelance in Madrid, doing moslty editing works for multimedia courses. I had this job about a year ago where I had the oportunity to work with DP. Though I'm not an expert and I mostly worked with audio I'm afraid I can't help you with your doubt about quantising. But I must say that, though I think DP is a very solid software for audio it was horrible for me to work with MIDI, basically because of the environment, and I did remember sometimes it used to caused me some troubles I wasn't able to repair. But it seems to dissappeare when I restarted. I had never solved them and I didn't want to make a big deal out of it because I didn't use MIDI often. I'm sorry I can't help. I'll tell you if I find out.

- No I live in Seattle now and I'm actually from Brooklyn but I did my radio show in Manhattan. I have a livestream channel http://www.livestream.com/djpetemarriott it used to be called Mogulus but I made the switch to U-Stream which was great and then they went in a direction I strongly dislike so I came back home to Livestream and luckily for me the reason I left in the first place got corrected. LOL!

- Hi Matt, It's so strange for me to listen to these old recordings be it my production projects or recording I made for my old radio show back in New York. I remember things I forgot over the years and I'm having too much fun applying this internal creative knowledge to my newer material.

SmokeyVW said… - Hi - You asked what type of material I produce... mostly eclectica - a mix of elements from many genres. I've also been doing some short film music as well. Thanks for the interest!

Hubert Campbell said… - Hi Matt! I have been living in Oak Park for two years this coming August. I love it! I'm still mixing my first demo for a student film I did here at Flashpoint Academy. Btw, Great Presentation! I didn't know you had so much fun making GoldenTee! Over the next week, I'll be sure to make a more robust profile. I'm just swamped with school work at the moment as we're now entering the last week of the year. Thanks for stopping by!
