Recording Technology History

I sit here simultaneously speechless and bursting with questions.

Celemony, the makers of the amazing Melodyne, have announced Direct Note Access, which will be integrated into version 2 of their Melodyne plug-in. It offers… (wait for it)… TOTAL CONTROL OVER EACH NOTE IN POLYPHONIC SOURCES!

Beyond my initial reaction of “How the f**k is that even possible?”, I am already teeming with ideas. Watch the video right now.

(By the way, the video is NSFW if your boss doesn’t approve of its employees crapping in their pants).

I know, right? So many possibilities, so many liabilities (Daniel points out that this could forever alter the laws regarding sampling). Rest assured, Celemony will get a couple hundred of our hard-earned dollars, post-haste. [ms]

For all of our friends and fellow songwriters and producers : check out the new Omnisphere from Spectrasonics.

7′ Steinway B makes a grand addition to Burst HQ

We recently acquired a legendary Steinway piano, and are eager to use it on our upcoming custom projects and records.

We’re working exclusively with one piano tuner, installing a humidity control system directly in the piano body, and setting up our new baby for a long life making beautiful music… come on by and hear it for yourself!
