Welcome independent artists musical storytellers and innovative beat makers.
I'm Sanjay C and these are this week's music year news deals and freebies. my
first news story is something very significant but I forgot to mention last
week. thanks for reminding me a Capletaple. Logic Pro now has a clip
triggering physical controller. when Logic recently updated to 10.5 I loved
the idea of having clip triggering just like Ableton but I thought hmmm gonna
miss the hardware controllers up. but Novation solved that quickly most
Novation Launchpads are now compatible with Logic 10.5 for
triggering samples and loops. since the Launchpad design is optimized
for Ableton you actually have to rotate it 90 degrees to match Logics grid the
Launchpad pads can trigger one-shots loops MIDI patterns and automation data.
currently all the Launchpad minis work with Logic as well as the Launchpad
Launchpad S and the pro the only one which doesn't work yet is the Launchpad
X the next story comes from Arturia. they've launched a new instrument based
on the Oberheim OB Xa synth. the original hardware synth made that iconic sound in
Van Halen's song Jump and has been used extensively by lots of other artists
like Prince and Queen, Bon Jovi and The Police. I tested out the sounds and this
stereo spread just puts the sounds over the top. so cool I spent a half an hour
just working on one sound. you can get the OB Xa-V for $149 alone but Arturia is
full V collection of synths plus the new instrument are available for $299
which is a great deal right now. I'll add a link in the description below. alright
many of you post beats on YouTube and Instagram and of course you may not have
the video gear needed to make a flashy music video for it.
so visualizers are a great way to keep your viewers engaged.
I recently tested Videobolt which is a great option. Videobolt is sponsoring
this news report and they've got some great options for creating unique
visualizers to keep your audience engaged while they listen to your music.
check out the ones I've created.

else's. and you can even upload some stock photos to make it even cooler the
interface is super easy no need to understand video editing at all. Videobolt
offers some cool features including SoundCloud integration and
customizations on the visuals. oh and if you want to create intros promos or
video end cards they've got you covered too. and you can download the finish
video to repost it whenever and wherever you want. I'll add a link to Videobolt
