SCOTT GRANGER’S TECH SCOOP! COURTESY OF TILLLATEMAGZINE!

THE T-PAIN EFFECT BY IZOTOPE

OK so if you’re a music producer or an avid music fan and I say to you “The T-Pain effect” first thing you will think of is AUTO TUNE which is one of the things he is known for but for those who aren’t as Hip Hop minded as some let me tell you a little bit more about T-Pain or aka Faheem Rasheed Najm to his mum. Lets start with the basics – 25 years old from Tallahassee Florida, debuted as a solo artist in 2005 and in that time has produced and featured on over 45 top ten songs and 16 #1's all over the world which is success on the highest level so whatever this T-Pain effect is I WANT it.

So what is this new product from Boston based audio technology company iZotope and music mastermind? The T-Pain Effect consists of following –

The T-Pain Engine is a stand-alone beat making and vocal recording application that allows you to select from over 50 professional song templates. After you pick the beat you want (which is hard as they are all bangin) you can then record a vocal or rap over it and if you need a little help getting your vocals right then add the T-Pain Vocal Effect which will have you sounding amazing in no time. You can customize the beat and edit vocals then when you have everything sounding like a hit record simply use the built in exporter to publish straight to SoundCloud for the world to hear.

iDrum: T-Pain Edition, a virtual drum machine that includes hundreds

of custom beats covering different genres and inspired by over 50 new T-Pain iDrum kits with all- new samples. Used as a standalone application or a plug-in users can arrange beats into songs, create new kits and patterns, import their own samples, and edit samples with effects like pitch, filter, and decay.

The T-Pain Vocal Effect, as I said T-Pain is famous for using Auto Tune that is used to correct the pitch of vocals and instruments. Best way of describing this is say you sing out of key then Auto Tune uses a Phase Vocoder to correct your vocal to the right key but will add that robotic sound to your voice that you hear a lot in music. It has been used by everyone from Cher to Janet Jackson and not always because the artist can’t sing because I have heard T-Pain without it and the boy can sing so it is sometimes just added to give the vocal a certain sound.

 

Here is what T-Pain had to say about making this great product –

“When I teamed up with iZotope my goal was to bring people a quality audio tool that produces quality sound. iZotope’s knowledge of audio technology really impressed me and I knew they were the right team to partner with. This is the technology I use on my own records. I wouldn’t put my name on anything I didn’t stand by, and you can hear it on my records.”

As well as stand-alone the T-Pain Engine can be used with popular DAW’s such as ProTools, GarageBand, Cubase, SONAR, Logic and many more.

Priced at $99 and available from www.izotope.com and is a great tool if you want to get involved in making beats but is also really fun to use.

MICHAEL TOAST REUNION XX ANNIVERSARY NYC 11-25-11

DJ MT LIVE IN NYC

“20 years ago the babies of the flower children found themselves like their parents... lost in a universe of uncertainty. While wars were waging in the middle east, wars were raging in the streets. Not just in the form of hardcore violence & muggings, but artistically as well.
Industrial music became heavy metal (Psalm69), Punk became pop --(Under The Bridge), and hardcore became redundant( "YOU STABBED ME IN THE BAAAAAAAACK!"). The crumbled remains of those scenes along with the east coast swagger of freestyle and hip hop some how fell into a psychedelic bucket of paint emerging covered in daisies.
What we had happened magically. The planets aligned and so many amazing people with their amazing energies found their way to the party, communicating thru smiles and dance.As much as a beautiful fantasy as it was, it was real as real could be. Some burned their candles from not just both ends but the middle as well. We lost a lot of good ones along the way. Thank you for your light, love and lessons. We will never forget you.
Here's a bit of my set of house classics for the 20 YR anniversary of the old school east coast, dare I say, RAVE SCENE.(?!!)”

JUST IN TIME FOR THANKSGIVING!! MAKE SURE YOU GET AN AMARETTO CRANBERRY KISS BABIES!

So I’m overdue for a recommended beverage for you all to enjoy OUT IN THA SCEEEEEENE!!! Well, since we are so close to the Thanksgiving Day holiday, I thought you might enjoy an “Amaretto Cranberry Kiss” babies!! It’s sexy and with just the right sweet ‘N sour twist to spice up your holidays!! The color is sexy and reminiscent of a flushed set of lips and cheeks after a long, deep kiss!! Can you afford NOT to try this decadent beverage!! TREAT YOURSELF or a new friend. Order them a fabulous Thanksgiving day treat, EARLY!!

KEEPING THE BEAT SEXY AND SWEET!!!

 

Amaretto-Cranberry Kiss

Vodka and cranberry have been a pair on numerous occasions (most notably in the Cosmo). In this drink, orange juice smoothes out the flavor of the tart cranberry. To avoid making an overly sweet Kool-Aid-like concoction, try using unsweetened cranberry juice or adding more OJ. The amaretto contributes sweet almond flavors (you may have seen the Disaronno Originale brand on liquor shelves) and adds yet more alcohol. Beware: This Kiss packs quite a punch.

What is Dubstep? VIA udubstep.com

 

DUBSTEP IS HERE TO STAY BABIES…WHETHER YOU LUV IT OR HATE IT. It’s here. We recently stumbled across this dope article about Dubstep. It breaks it down really well without twisting up the mind too much in the explanation. CHECK IT OUT! PROPS to JR from http://www.udubstep.com/what-is-dubstep/ for the article!! We just had to share it with our readers. We currently have J.Casablanca’s Dubstep Thriller Rmx on our site player. It gives you a great sense of how a trax is tweaked into a Dubstep format!!!

On a personal note…txs everyone for your patience with the site too. Fetty Be has been facing some radical life changing events lately. All good though. She is still here and luvin’ life, music, fashion and the RIGHT TO SELF-EXPRESS!!!! On that note….let’s get DUBSTEPPIN’!!!

WHAT IS DUBSTEP?

One of the fastest growing types of music in the world, Dubstep is a new form of electronic music that combines heavy bass with samples, synthesizer, keyboard, turntables and hard-hitting drum tracks. Dubstep originated in South London, but has quickly spread to other areas of Western Europe and North America after initially getting some publicity on BBC Radio… and is fast-becoming a mainstream form of dance music around the world.

According to AllMusic, Dubstep is described as:

“tightly coiled productions with overwhelming bass lines and reverberant drum patterns, clipped samples, and occasional vocals.”

More accurately, Dubstep is simply dub music set to a two-step beat. The usage of samples laid over low-frequency (and typically oscillating) basslines is really what defines this type of music. While historically, Dubstep has been described as dark & deep… there are now many forms of Dubstep that have elements of trance music, electronica, hip-hop and even pop. Pretty much every track on the Billboard 100 has been remixed by independent artists as “Dubstep.” This is pretty easy to imagine when you consider that dubstep is sample-driven music, typically ripped apart and mixed with copious amounts of bass that is sure to blow out your speakers.

ALL ABOUT WOBBLE BASS

The most common characteristic of Dubstep is what is referred to as “wobble bass.” Wobble bass is a new creation of electronic music where bass notes are extended and manipulated digitally with a low-frequency oscillator and other filters. This type of bass drives the music and is a big reason that the music is so club-friendly (“bro-step” is now a known sub-class of Dubstep that adds a bit more of the typical techno-club element to Dubstep). When you hear someone remark about that “wub wub wub” sound that has made Dubstep famous, they are referring to the wobble bass that is on a majority of Dubstep tracks.

OTHER CHARACTERISTICS OF DUBSTEP

Naturally, Dubstep is a lot more than just wobble bass… although that has certainly grown to be the identifying characteristic. One of the most notable characteristics is the structure of the songs. As in classic UK garage music, Dubstep historically has been comprised of a few sections: 1) the intro; 2) the bass drop; 3) the main riff (or mid-section); 4) outro. The second section… the bass drop… is what made Dubstep just so popular in the first place, and it is when wobble bass is most prevalent.

Typically in a bass drop, the percussion will freeze or the existing intro track will start to fade into the background. After a brief pause, all hell breaks loose and overwhelming bass invades the track that is essentially carried throughout the rest of the tune.

Another technique used by Dubstep DJs is the “rewind.” Also known as the “reload,” it is a simple turntable technique where the DJ will spin back the record without lifting the stylus… which will create a scratch and will play back the previous clip. This is especially effective in live entertainment.

Some of the most popular current Dubstep DJs include:

• Skream
• Rusko
• Skrillex
• Joker
• Burial
• Kode9
• Digital Mystikz

There are a lot of different elements that go into dubstep, with more being created all the time. We also have a piece on the History of Dubstep here at uDubstep that you should definitely check out for more information about the evolution of this form of music.
