Musical Entropy releases Guitar Gadgets v1.3.3 free guitar effect

Musical Entropy has released Guitar Gadgets v1.3.3, free guitar effect for Windows and Mac.

- Solved : issue with MIDI Learn
- Solved : issue with the resampling of impulse responses
- Solved : issue with a ChangeListener not being deleted
- Solved : issue with the automation scheme
- Solved : issues with the parameter changes
- Solved : issues with the last versions of Mac OS X

Guitar Gadgets is a compilation of "false" analog guitar pedal simulations, made to be used mainly with electric guitars and guitar amp simulations, but which may be sound interesting in any situation. The focus here wasn't to design classic effects, but weird, strange, ugly or "different" ones instead.

George Martin: “5.º elemento” dos Beatles morre aos 90 anos

Era apelidado de “5.º elemento” dos Beatles: Sir George Martin, o produtor dos “quatro fabulosos” de Liverpool faleceu aos 90 anos, informou o baterista Ringo Starr, no Twitter.

Sean Ono Lennon, filho do lendário John Lennon e Yoko Ono, expressou a sua tristeza na mesma rede social, tal como o primeiro-ministro britânico. David Cameron recorda o “gigante da música”, que produziu das canções “mais duradouras da música ‘pop’”:

Ao longo de cinco décadas, George Martin produziu mais de 700 discos, mas foi o trabalho com os Beatles que lhe trouxe fama mundial. Em 1962, dirigia a editora Parlophone, uma divisão da EMI, quando escutou uma “demo” dos Beatles e viu o potêncial de sucesso que estava a passar ao lado da concorrência. Foi o produtor de quase toda a discografia da banda.

Filho de um carpinteiro do norte de Londres, George Martin nasceu a 3 de janeiro de 1926. Estudou na reputada escola de música Guildhall e trabalhou no departamento de música clássica da BBC antes de chegar à Parlophone.

Em 1996, a rainha Isabel II concedeu-lhe o título de cavaleiro pelos serviços prestados à música e à cultura popular.

É ainda o maior produtor musical da história, segundo o Guinness, com mais de 50 músicas a chegarem a número 1 das tabelas de vendas nos Estados Unidos, em Inglaterra e um pouco por todos os quatro cantos do mundo.

ddmf - free equalizer plugins for Windows and Mac

ddmf - free equalizer plugins for Windows and Mac. Some of the best free EQs can be found on this site. They may not come with all the bells and whistles of the payware plugins but their sonic qualities are undisputed.

ColourEQ

Not just another EQ: with its custom-made 4th order IIR filter, ColourEQ sounds unlike any other EQ you have ever come across. It comes with five bands of \”super parametric\” peaking filters, which means that there is one more parameter in addition to the traditional gain/width/frequency set that can influence the curve shape. 32/64 bit.

IIEQ

The IIEQ is a free, fully parametric 10-band equalizer with its own, characteristic sound and low CPU consumption. The 1st and the 10th band are low and high shelf filters, respectively; all other bands are peak filters. Individual bands can be switched on and off (click on the small green buttons!).

It is available for Windows (32/64 bit) and Mac (32 bit). Alternative GUIs are available for Windows 32bit only.

SmallEQ

Sick and tired of huge GUIs taking up all screen space? Want an EQ that easily fits in your pocket but sounds just like the big guys? Then it’s time to meet SmallEQ! The world’s smallest 10-band EQ, sporting eight fully parametric bands plus one low- and one high-shelf filter on exactly 9135 square pixels. Controls from left to right: band choice, gain, frequency, width and overall gain.

Tracktion Software Tracktion v7.0.24

The latest version of our powerful, single-screen music recording app is the largest upgrade we've ever offered. While maintaining the simplicity and immediacy of earlier versions, T7 provides a more dynamic interface with new features designed to save time and screen space. Innovative editing tools provide new ways to create, organize and manipulate audio, MIDI and step clips while new plugin search and automation features boost creativity and speed work flow.

Tracktion was designed to be as transparent and intuitive to the user as possible. Track object controls and parameters are context-sensitive; effects, MIDI instruments and other software objects can be added to tracks or even applied directly to individual audio and MIDI clips using a drag-and-drop system of filters. Complex chains of filters can be created, stored and recalled for later use as rack effects, which can be thought of as analogous to a saved channel strip setting in a traditional DAW/sequencer.

Tracktion represents a move away from the modal dialog boxes, multiple menus and cluttered windows common to most legacy MIDI sequencers and Digital Audio Workstations, in favour of a streamlined, single-screen approach that presents the user only with the options they need for the task they are currently doing, such as editing audio, adjusting MIDI automation parameters, effects settings, etc. Both also are notable for the use of a more abstract visual style that does not attempt to visually replicate "real world" recording equipment or effects boxes.

Tracktion 7
Introduced in 2002 by Julian Storer, the Tracktion DAW represented a new approach by breaking from the traditional recording studio workflow. It empowered musicians of any caliber to produce multi-track recordings without previous studio or DAW experience and steadily gained a large user base. While many Tracktion breakthroughs are now being adopted by competing applications, T7 elevates the state of the art once again with the most comprehensive upgrade in the platform’s history.

“With T7, we’ve taken the Tracktion paradigm a lot further,” explained Lead Developer, Dave Rowland. “In addition to a great looking, more dynamic user interface, there are a lot of practical improvements designed to boost productivity. However, I’m most excited about the new tools for manipulating clips and plugins. With unique features like these, T7 will take users in new directions.”

One of T7’s creative-oriented introductions, Clip Layer Effects (Pat. Pend.), allows complete control of sound design at the clip level. Another new feature, Multi-Browser Sync, provides the ability to preview many files together, from multiple browsers, in sync with the edit. For plugins (VST and AU), there is a new visual selector to speed the sorting process and new LFO Generators to quickly modulate any plugin parameter. Even the MARKETPLACE interaction has been improved making it easy to shop for new virtual instruments and effects without leaving the T7 app environment.
