The Frontier Design Alphatrack is a single channel DAW control surface that offers channel and DAW control in a nice small footprint. One of the key features of the controller is the 100mm touch sensitive motorised fader that offers an immediate visual feedback and ability to adjust and automate a channel quickly. But is 1 fader enough?
We are still building things. You wouldn't want to see what is back here just yet. Check something else out.
Here are just a few of the projects we have been involved with apart from our own projects for your interest. Many of the projects we assist with are films for festivals and competitions and as such cannot be released to the public outside official screenings. As they complete their journey through the film community they will be hosted online and available. Here we can show some of the ones released for public view and some trailers released for others.
Mackie have long been an industry standard between DAWs for mixing surfaces and many new knock offs use the Mackie protocol for talking with the DAW. The previous Mackie Control went unchanged for years and there was rarely a complaint about this as it was a great design and a winning control surface for many DAW applications.
The latest release will have a keen eye notice that there is little that has changed apart from a new and updated style. The actual control options and layout are exactly the same. So how does it perform? Well I have updated my original review from 2 years ago to include information relevant to my last 2 years of experience with this product.
Last year I was involved in the location sound recording for 2 short films:
Both films were produced by a good mate Chris who runs CLU Productions and I had agreed to do the audio recording for both projects. I also agreed to do the sound mix for Reactions but was not initially asked to help with Slow Take as this was not directed by Chris...
This page lists links to sites that we find interesting or have an association with. These are nothing to do with audio or music but have an interest all the same. If you have nothing to do and are looking for someting interesting then check some of these out
This page lists a heap of useful links to websites for Ableton and any DAW or music software user. If you are a user of Ableton, MIDI controllers (Push) or any other DAW software then you should find some of these links useful. Most of these links we use every week.
Happy New Year!!!
The new year is upon us (duh) and I have a lot of hopes for the months to come.
2013 was a complete mix of good and bad. On the good side I saw friends marry, babies born, old aquantences reunite. I aquired some much desired toys (Ableton Push!) and finally got my website back up and started again. I also ended the year with a pay rise and much accolades for a hard years work.
But the year was not without sadness and loss.
Another short film I was involved in was "Reactions" produced again by CLU Productions. This film is a funny little film where a man arrives home to find someone in his house. He sneaks insight to gain the drop on the intruder and after a big struggle where he demolishes his kitchen he finds a bit of a "surprise".
The Numark HDX is a "digital turntable" that uses a CD player or an inbuilt 80GB HDD to play the music but has a full sized 12" vinyl platter to control the playback. It offers the complete feel of vinyl but allows the convenience of direct CD/MP3/WAV to be used
