- 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.
