Customer Kudos "I just like to say that I am enjoying Theta Music immensely! I am a complete novice when it comes to music theory and your system is just so easy to understand, I'm constantly having aha moments! After only a short period of time my listening skills have improved dramatically and I wasn't expecting this because I was not sure that I had the ability to develop in this area." - A.S.

Lessons on Compression: Change your Attitude Before your Amplitude says Steve Hillier | Point Blank Blog
Tackling compression in a thousand words is a tall order, but I’m reasonably tall so I’m going to give it a try. More than any other audio effect, myth and folklore has sprouted, grown and thrived around compression. We know compressors do something important; we read about it everywhere… we’re just not sure what that is.6 Tips for Reigning in the Bass in Your Mix

Every mix poses its own unique challenges, and I never mix two songs the same way. However, here are 6 tips for getting a handle on the low end in your mix. Some of these may seem odd or strange.

Bassline Tutorial
Boom! Time for another producer Q&A. This week I'm particularly chuffed to present the U.S. legend that is Bassnectar . Pioneer of that slow, swinging, bass heavy sound he sometimes calls swamp-hop, it's now slowly getting recognition worldwide, as part of that hip-hop influenced West Coast scene that includes the likes of Glitch Mob, Flying Lotus et al. Get on over to his site to download a few free tracks and see what it's all about. Bassnectar is honestly one of the best party DJ's I've seen, switching tempos so quick it left me scratching my head how he did it - although you can see from his gig list he gets plenty of practise.
Producer Q&A - Bassnectar - bass music.

This month I interviewed Dj Lorin for my Remix magazine column . The printed version was only a part of the full interview bellow.

To get the right sound, you may need to cut some bass freq - try dipping the freqs around 100hz. Then send it to a return effect with a chorus effect to get the stereo width. For the sliding, just use portmanteau. Massive would be very well suited for this sound.
