This theme I’ve integrated in a progressive Trance arrangement. The beautiful and powerful Vocals by Sophie Blaize have inspire me to produce such kind of music. The combination of wide pads and leads in relation of a powerful bassdrum, give the track a dark edge. You can listen to it in MySpace Player.

Sophie Blaize - Lost In Paradise http://blog.melodic-culture.com/?p=34 http://blog.melodic-culture.com/?p=34#comments Wed, 13 Jan 2010 09:43:39 +0000 Benjamin Hensch http://blog.melodic-culture.com/?p=34 My Follow-Up Track will finish soon. In 2007 I’ve produced this theme but it hasn’t the final polish. So, I’ve reproduced it in december with the great work of Sophie Blaize. She comes from UK and supports much projects of Ebony Red.

The big difference to “On The Other Side” is the progressive Bassdrum and powerful atmosphere. In combination with vocalelements by Sophie, the tracks includes all for a massive trancetune.

In the first quarter of 2010 the Follow-Up Release will come to you. Next Week you can listen to it in MySpace Player.

On The Other Side

]]> http://blog.melodic-culture.com/?feed=rss2&p=32 Cubase 5 is now available Part 1 (Installation and Reverb) http://blog.melodic-culture.com/?p=31 http://blog.melodic-culture.com/?p=31#comments Sun, 08 Mar 2009 10:42:27 +0000 Benjamin Hensch http://blog.melodic-culture.com/?p=31 Steinberg offers Cubase 5 now. The Sequencer includes many new Plug-ins, for example REVerence, Loop Match and Groove Agent. I ‘ve buy the update Version last week and I’ve install it yesterday.

Installation:

Pretty easy ;-). I’ve insert the first DVD and the installation runs automatically. All settings I’ve made in Cubase 4 were saved in Cubase 5, that means: all Plug-Ins, Settings and Libraries. Another nice feature is the Steinberg Sound Collection. All included Plug-Ins like Groove Agent get’s a hugh number of Samples. So, you are ready to start without any other drumprocessor like Battery. Last step is the activation and then you can start.

Cubase start’s ;-) :

The Interface is smoother and more 3D like. Mixer and Information windows have the same Layout as you know in Cubase 4. Arrangement Window has more settingbuttons but it has the same layout.

REVerence:

The First new Plug In I’ve tested was REVerence. This is the first including impulse reverb. That means you have a Waveform which the reverbprocessor generates the reverb. The quality is very good and you have many possibilities to create a new Reverb Sound. For Example reverse play of the Waveform or stretching of the waveform.

So I will test today the next two Plug-Ins Loop Match and Groove Agent. The Third part will describe another nice tools like the melodine oriented Plug-In.

So Far Melodic Culture

Marc van Gale and me presents there our new project Plastic Illusion.

]]> http://blog.melodic-culture.com/?feed=rss2&p=30 Cubase 4.5 is available since 2 weeks http://blog.melodic-culture.com/?p=29 http://blog.melodic-culture.com/?p=29#comments Sat, 27 Sep 2008 08:14:53 +0000 Benjamin Hensch http://blog.melodic-culture.com/?p=29 Last week I’ve updated my Cubase to Version 4.5. Now it is possible to control the virtual mixer with an advanced integration controller called Steinberg CC121. This little interface seems to help to bring more efficiency in your workflow. So I’ve buy the controller. ;-)

More information about the new Cubase Update you’ll finde under: Cubase Features

Installation is pretty easy via USB (Universal Serial Bus). So Cubase recognize the Interface automatically. My First impression is, that this Interface is high manufacturing. My workflow in Cubase is very easy to describe. In my first hand my mouse and second hand my keyboard ;-)

So the question is, what give us the controller to reduce working? The answer is very easy to give. Now you have the possibility to click one time in your Mixer View (F3) and the rest you can control with this interface. In addition you have the transport unit and you have a Jog Wheel to scroll in your arrangement view. It’s very nice the first time I use it in my projects.

My little conclusion, this interface is high manufacturing and bring more efficiency into our workflow. If you want a cheap variant of controllersystems for DAW’s then is this one, only for Cubase users, the first option. For those they don’t use Cubase, I think this Controller doesn’t work. That’s little crappy! But now steinberg starting integration of hardware and software with their own systems. So we take a look to Cubase 5 ;-)
