Extreme sound stretching
This tutorial covers the basics of Paul’s Extreme Sound Stretch (aka HyperMammut), the software used to make the now-famous ambient version of Justin Bieber’s “U Smile” slowed down 800%.
This is a powerful, free tool that can be used not just for ‘gimmick’ tracks but also unique sound design for music production.
Note: This is available for Mac & PC.
The track played at the end is called “Scars of the Past”. It will be featured on an upcoming album, though I originally wrote it for soundtrack usage (films, TV, games, etc.) You can also hear some neat sound design using Sitar Nation by Impact Soundworks, as well as a violin part from my song “Star Trails (Emotion Mix)”.

Generate sound from running sorting algorithms
This particular audibilization is just one of many ways to generate sound from running sorting algorithms. Here on every comparison of two numbers (elements) I play (mixing) sin waves with frequencies modulated by values of these numbers. There are quite a few parameters that may drastically change resulting sound – I just chose parameteres that imo felt best.
After making this video I found that someone already tried to audibilize sorting algorithms:
http://www.pillowsopher.com/blog/?p=116
– he mentions other older attempt: http://www.math.ucla.edu/~rcompton/mu…
And someone in comments metions similar attempt on different aproches to Towers of Hanoi problem in 1982; there was also attempt on trying to hear minimax search in chess engine in 2009: http://www.krazydad.com/blog/2009/05/… .This is my first attempt on making algorithms audible. For some time I was wondering what would it sound like if cpu made different noises for different instructions. It all started while trying to play raw files (texts, images, programs…), then I heard few “raw” tracks on Alva Noto CD… and then I did one strange audio-visual simulation http://vimeo.com/6711459 and then I tried to play out voltage potentials simulated by spiking neural network implementation – it worked out really cool so I wanted to try something with algorithms – thats how I got here. I know this work is not novel but I feel it isn’t explored enough. I see future uses of similar techniques in monitoring and debuging, teaching and gaining insight of more complicated algorithms, science (as an extension to ploting tools)… and arts.
How to use external hardware with Record
Propellerhead guru James Bernard returns with the latest in his series of 52 weekly videos on getting the most out of Reason + Record, this time looking at how to use external hardware with Record:
If you’ve got a hardware effect device that you just love… maybe it’s a lo-fi effect you can’t live without… or maybe it’s a Lexicon 960L… you can wire these effects into Record’s FX sends and Inserts to process audio tracks and devices. This week I show you the literal “ins and outs” of using external FX with Record and how to make them a permanent part of your song for exporting and archiving.
See the Propellerhead YouTube channel for the rest of Bernard’s series.

A tutorial to show the Mixer control of Ableton Live with the Zero SL MK II controller. Please note: You will need Live 8.1.3 upwards for this particular integration. Download Automap 3.5 for more instructions in the DAW Setup Guide.
Synth of the year perhaps?
VJ Franz K brings his stentorian tones to this Korg Monotron unboxing & demo video.
NEW Analog Synth in a box the size of a cassette tape! (Remember what those were? 
Available NOW at NoiseBug.net. Here is my unboxing, and a demonstration with a variety of other music gadgets – one of the best features is the ability to run external sounds through the (very resonant) analog filter, which is based on Korg’s classic MS-20! The sound is quite warm – it could be the perfect addition to various digital gear, and the price is unbeatable.

Why settle with just one iPad in your music production
“Le K using two ipads running touchAble and controlling Ableton live.
The 2 iPADS mode included in touchAble allows users to control Ableton Live with 2 selection boxes, 1 red and 1 yellow, and gives access to all the features.
2 peoples can play and tweak the same liveset or you can play with 2 iPads for a better control experience.
touchAble is the new dedicated multitouch controller for Ableton and iPad,
