Using Markers in Logic and Mainstage
Preview of four part video series on using Markers in Logic and Mainstage.

Reason 5 KONG intro
Propellerheads continues to deliver nice demos for Reason 5, here’s the KONG
Has music just not sounded the same to you since Miami Vice went off the air? Then you’re in luck! The synth drums in Kong bring analog drum sounds back to your music. Most analog sounds these days are sampled, meaning the sound you load is the sound you’ve got. In this micro tutorial you’ll see how easy it is to make wonderfully tweakable analog synth drums and assign them to your pads
Closer look at Combinator
The combinator is like a bottomless pit of possibility. I always find that the more I tweak it, the more “extra-tweakable” I realize it is. Last week I reintroduced the fundamentals of the combinator for you. This week I’ll go deep with you and show you some advanced techniques you can employ. Keep one hand on your controller keyboard and the other on the youtube pause button… this one moves quickly.

Reason 5 – micro tutorial on sampling
If it was good for Trevor Horn, The Beastie Boys, and pretty much every pioneering producer in the last 30 years… then it’s good for us too. Live Sampling is back in Reason 5 and Record 1.5. But before you start pitching your burp noises up 3 octaves we thought we’d teach you the basics of the process.
Setting up a cue mix and a crossfader in Ableton
Nice tutorial for Live 8, perhaps one could wish that it had been somewhat more extensive
Reaper: split the audio into various bands and process each independently
Thanks to AGZ for providing this tutorial
The source audio track is sent (master send disabled) to 6 other tracks, each with a ReaFIR plugin to define the bands. Subs, Lows, Low Mids, High Mids, Highs and Ultra Highs. After that is a simple compressor for each band. You can insert any other plugins you want for each band: Saturation, stereo width etc. You may find this to be a good starting point for mastering.
