Musician and hobbyist programmer Katz Praatz has announced the release of Jazz Sketch version 1.4. This update adds 192 new chord progressions to the previously available 552 in version 1.3, bringing the total to 744 jazz chord progressions.

Jazz Sketch (ver. 1.4) is a simple chord sequencer designed to help you create music by arranging 744 jazz chord progressions and 168 tension chords. You can export the chord sequence (the chord progressions and chords you've arranged) as a MIDI file to play it or edit it in your DAW. With Jazz Sketch, you can create sophisticated, jazz-infused song with ease. Additionally, Jazz Sketch allows you to learn jazz harmony by playing it yourself. In fact, Jazz Sketch is a small but highly useful software tool..

One of the key characteristics of all good mixes is the ability to hear all the individual elements in the mix. There is real skill involved in achieving this. Perhaps the most important tool used to attain this goal (once the recording has been done) is the equalizer.

As valuable as the equalizer is, this tool will not work for you by simply plugging it in. The key to effective EQ work lies in the mixer's ability to listen critically and adjust the EQ's parameters (frequency, gain, and Q (bandwidth)) with purpose and intent. Rather than randomly boosting frequencies to make something louder, experience mixers often employ a technique called "subtractive EQ", where they cut problematic frequencies first before applying any boosts. This creates more space in the mix and helps prevent frequency masking, where one sound hides or competes with another in the same range..

Consider the following scenario:
"Somewhere in the middle of a recording session, the building's heating boiler kicked in. Not only did it heat the studio (a good thing), it also introduced a low level, very low frequency signal into the tracks from that time on (a bad thing). How would you go about removing the offensive, non-musical signal using equalization?"

Boilers system can emit vibrations in the 20 - 80 Hz range, which can be picked up by sensitive mics or transmitted through stands and floors. This type of rumble can muffle bass instruments and kick drums, add unwanted low-end buildup, or eat up mix headroom. The following steps can help eliminate the rumble...

Majetone, a London-based developer known for unique and creative sound design and plug-ins, has recently announced the release of 'Dream Kit: Zenith' — A groundbreaking virtual instrument that reimagines the drum kit as a fully chromatic, synth-style sound source. Designed and built by drummer, producer, and engineer James Yates, Dream Kit: Zenith blends meticulous multi-sampling with analog synth sensibilities to create a uniquely tactile and expressive instrument. Unlike conventional drum plug-ins, Dream Kit: Zenith dives deep into the full anatomy of the drum kit — not just the drums themselves, but every part: lugs, shells, hoops, pedals, snares, cymbals, buzz rolls, thumb rolls, cymbal scrapes, and more. Each element is sampled, tuned, and stretched across five octaves, transforming a traditionally percussive instrument into a richly playable sonic palette.

Pre-production in music is the planning and preparation phase before recording begins. It is crucial because it saves time, money, and creative energy during the actual recording process. Pre-production turns raw ideas into structured, record-ready plans. It's where you solve problems before they become expensive or damaging to the final product. Skipping it often leads to stress, creative fatigue, and subpar results. Here's why pre-production is important..

The stereo fl**ge effect produces a pleasant "swirling" sound that can effectively thicken and add warmth to the sound of an instrument. It is produced by varying the amount of delay time between two identical signals. This effect is a widely used audio processing technique, commonly applied to guitars, keyboards, vocals, and synthesizers to add a unique spatial character, making the sound feel richer and more immersive..

A "sample" is a snippet of audio taken from an existing recording, often from vinyl records, CDs, or digital sources, and repurposed in a new musical composition. Sampling has been a foundational technique in genres such as Hip-hop, Electronic, Pop, etc.

In order to legally use a sample, permission must be obtained from the original copyright holders, which typically includes both the owner of the sound recording (often a record label) and the owner of the musical composition (usually the songwriter or music publisher). This process is known as 'sample clearance', and it must be completed before releasing the new track commercially.
