http://25.media.tumblr.com/avatar_65a6c9638f67_40.pngGood news for the App-a-holics among us. A specific audiostreaming protocol is to come to the iOS platform. It’s named Audiobus.

While formerly the export to the cloud or via iTunes to the Host-PC/Mac was required, now using Audiobus we can stream audio from one app to another. Release date is december, 10th and the pricetag is named with 10US$ according the german tech news Heise.de.

Several apps will immediately receive updates to support Audiobus, among these are:

  • Funkbox (audio input)
  • JamUp XT and JamUp Pro XT (efx)
  • Loopy and Loopy HD (audio input and output)
  • MultiTrack DAW (audio output)
  • NLog Midi Synth and NLog Midi Synth Pro (audio input, efx and output)
  • Rebirth (audio input)
  • SoundPrism Pro (audio input)
  • Sunrizer Synth (audio input

More apps supporting the Audiobus protocol to come, as Apple is said to have this protocol officially allowed. For developers an SDK is available. Check the vids for some more insights… enjoy fellas…

Good evening fellas, here we go with a special preview gift. It’s a nifty broken beat, drum’n’bass remix made by us, well errmmm ;-)

To make this tune unique we vaporized the original voice and created all melodic spheres (pads, effects etc.) and percussion sounds out of it.

The tune is part of a remix compilation, that is gonna be released on iTunes in december 2012. Until then: enjoy this preview…

Special November Offer

Native Instruments just announced to give a rebate of 50% on their Vintave Compressors (VC 76, VC 2A, and VC 160) and Transient Master plugins.

The rebate is available via the Native Instruments Online Shop ONLY. The offer ends November 26th – so seven days to decide!

 

Demo Versions

For you, who wanna try-before-buy, check this link for the demo versions. Sadly some really annoying and thus workflow hindering limitation have been applied to the demos:

  • 30mins only total runtime
  • saving presets is possible but loading is not
  • total recall is disabled

We really can’t imagine a scenario where a plugin or an instrument can be tested sufficiently within 30mins, but hmmm… still better than dongles for trial licenses…

[Muzaq] Documentary: What the Future Sounded Like

Leave a reply

Guys this is really a nice finding by a friend of ours. The 2006 music documentary “What the Future Sounded Like” is a 27 min lasting australian short film about the british electronic music scene.

In contrast to many other documentaries, “What the Future Sounded Like”, covers the time between World War 2 and the 1970s, when computers where not available.

“It was a period of sweeping change and experimentation where art and culture participated in and reflected the wider social changes. In this atmosphere was born the Electronic Music Studios (EMS), a radical group of avant-garde electronic musicians who utilized technology and experimentation to compose a futuristic electronic sound-scape for the New Britain.” (Source)

Among many other places it has been screened in Berlin at the Musik-Film-Marathon in 2012. It is now available for everybody via Youtube.
