Internationally Acclaimed Bassist Sam Anning is Reaping the Benefits of DPA's New CORE by DPA Amplifier Technology

The Australian Musician Uses the d:vote CORE 4099B Instrument Microphone for Performances at Australian Jazz Festivals
 
ALLEROED, DENMARK, AUGUST 7, 2018Internationally acclaimed bassist, Sam Anning has long been a user of DPA Microphones. After replacing his legacy d:vote 4099B Instrument Microphone for the new d:vote™ CORE 4099B Instrument Microphone, the Australian musician says he is hugely impressed with the sound he is now achieving from the CORE by DPA technology.

"I came across DPA Microphones a few years ago while touring around festivals in Europe and my first encounter with the d:vote 4099B was one of the those eureka moments," says Anning. "As a performer, it's very vindicating when someone comes up with a well thought out and brilliantly designed answer to honestly capturing and transmitting the sound that you spend years in the practice room finessing. DPA's d:vote 4099B does just that - and now, with the new CORE by DPA technology, it is even better."
 
Anning recently used the d:vote CORE on his double bass for an Australian live-to-air national radio show with Maceo Parker, Gretchen Parlato, Terri Lyne Carrington and Barney McAll. "It sounded incredibly natural and isolated, in a good way, from the other instruments," he says. "I'm now looking forward to seeing how my old Martin guitar sounds when I use it with the d:vote CORE 4099B on my song writing projects."

LDM Devices are known for their clear cut design and simple effectiveness, their last release Chance Ten went down a storm with it’s Brian Eno inspired randomisation. Now it’s the turn of Trisektor a MaxforLive 3-Band Delay and FX unit…
Designed with simplicity in mind you can quickly master the output of this effective little device and add some awesome Delays and FX to your tracks with very little effort!
Trisektor is a MaxforLive effect for Ableton Live featuring dub style flutter effects, distortion, bitcrush, and a modulated comb filter. Create everything from subtle spatial dynamics to full on psychedelic freak out!
With the left hand side of the device you can set the high and low crossover frequencies to split the audio into 3 frequency bands.
Then you can finish off at the right hand side by setting a final frequency range at the end of the signal chain and the dry/wet balance for the audio output.
CONTROLS
  1. Band Output – Each band can be muted by turning this off.
  2. Solo – Set a band to solo to focus in on that frequency band.
  3. Delay Time – Set the delay time in ms or sync intervals. In linked channel mode the left delay time will set for both stereo channels.
  4. Offset – Create width in the output by offsetting one channel. These controls work even when the left and right channel are linked.
  5. Feedback – Set the level of delay feedback. In linked mode the left control will set the output for both channels.
  6. Link Channels – Link the channels to give the left and right channel the same feedback amount and delay time. The offset dial will still work to allow for creating width.
  7. Panel Select – Switch between the front panel shown above and the effects panel
  8. Comb Filter – This dial acts as a dry/wet knob for a modulated comb filter on the delay output
  9. Crush – Reduce the bit depth and sampling rate of the signal
  10. Overdrive – Distort the signal
  11. Volume – Attenuate the signal if the effects add too much power
  12. Flutter – Create a classic dub delay wobble. The flutter time can also be set in sync times for some more rhythmic modulation

Women’s Audio Mission Celebrates 15 Year Anniversary with Benefit Concert Featuring St. Beauty, Diana Gameros, and Chulita Vinyl Club

 

San Francisco, CA - July 31, 2018– Women’s Audio Mission (WAM), a San Francisco Bay Area-based nonprofit dedicated to advancing women in music production and the recording arts, is celebrating 15 years of training over 12,000 women and girls in the recording arts with a benefit concert at Brava Theater on September 21, 2018. The concert will feature performances by R&B/pop artists, St. Beauty, currently touring with Janelle Monáe, and Mexican American singer/songwriter Diana Gameros, as well as a cocktail reception with a DJ set by  Chulita Vinyl Club.

The event is a fundraiser for WAM’s training programs, which reach the Bay Area’s most vulnerable communities (96% are low income, 91% are girls of color). Funds generated will help WAM reach their goal of training 3,000 women/girls in the recording arts by 2020 in San Francisco and Oakland, as well as expand services to underserved artists in WAM’s recording studio, the only one in the world built and run entirely by women. WAM’s 15 Year Anniversary party will feature a live auction, live performances, pre and post-concert receptions, and a special meet-and-greet with the performers for VIP ticket holders.

“WAM is beyond excited to celebrate our 15 year anniversary with our amazing community of supporters and powerhouse artists, St. Beauty and Diana Gameros,” said Terri Winston, Executive Director and Founder of WAM. “Last year, our sold-out fundraising event at Dolby Laboratories with the legendary drummer Sheila E. raised over $170,000 for WAM, allowing us to permanently secure our location in San Francisco. We’re hoping to see the same kind of success at our 15thanniversary event this year.”

St. Beauty is part of the renowned artistic collective, Wondaland Art Society, which boasts artists like Janelle Monáe and Jidenna on its roster, and their music was recently featured on the HBO hit show, Insecure. Diana Gameros has quickly caught the attention of national media – her latest album, Arullo, recorded at WAM, was covered by Billboard, Mother Jones, NPR, and more. Learn more about the event and purchase tickets here: Women’s Audio Mission 15 Year Anniversary.

Summer NAMM 2018: Your Heaven Audio Premiere’s New Tech



A REVOLUTION IN ACOUSTIC AUDIO

At this summer’s NAMM Show in Nashville, Your Heaven Audio premiered it’s latest in acoustic instrument amplification tech.

There were two new products that Your Heaven Premiered first was the new OEM version, which is a built-in system for guitars with a digital interface so manufacturers can pre-build it in the plant. The second product (which will be launching next week) was a version that dealers can then install on any acoustic guitar now keeping it more streamlined with a wireless direct out of the main.

The team met with various acoustic guitar makers and created custom profiles per guitar brand and then demoed Your Heaven on each manufacturer’s guitar. While the show's environment at NAMM was incredibly loud, everyone was still able to easily discern it was producing a natural sound with almost no other audio interference.

“Dealers from around the world all were circling our booth wanting to try it on their guitar It was an exhausting weekend that couldn’t have been more fun and the [product] couldn’t have been any better received. To see peoples reactions, it never gets old, such was an amazing experience. “
