Rhythm Science Sound is partnering with Louisville Academy of Music to offer a course in sampling classical music/vinyl. Find out more about the course and get enrollment details below.

The act of sampling (to cut and paste, version and remix audio) has become a foundational technique of modern music production.

Hey everyone! Hope you all have been doing well. Just wanted to remind you that we have a meeting this Tuesday the 26th - feel free to join! We'll be having a discussion about our approaches to conveying darker moods in our music in the spirit of it being a week before Halloween 🎃 Hopefully we can learn some things from each other! To give you a head start thinking about it, do you have favorite music you consider "dark"? This song by the Walker Brothers always comes to mind when I think about darker music!

Hey all! Hope everyone's looking forward to our meetup on Tuesday! We're excited to see folks there.

I thought I'd share something pretty cool - there's a ton of great Max for Live devices out there that can help you in your productions or add new creative layers to your workflow. And a lot of them are free! Here's an interesting one from Suzuki Kentaro, which lets you create drawings that act as LFOs for different parameters! He's got a couple other free devices like this, all just as creative.

If anyone has any favorite Max for Live devices, let us know as well!

We'll update you soon about guest presenters, but we'd also love to see what you all have been working on. Does anyone have cool music projects they would like to share? Bring it to the meeting and we'd love to talk about it!

In the meantime, here's an inspiring video Ableton posted this last week as part of their One Thing series. Musician Maya Shenfeld turns Ableton into a deep drone machine using an approach I wouldn't have thought of. Check it out!
