Arturia MatrixBrute Analog Synthesizer | Reverb Gear Demo

Welcome to the seventh week of our "Gear Mania Mondays," featuring a unique piece of equipment used over at WWE Studios each and every Monday. This week we are featuring the Arturia MatrixBrute Analog Synth with MIDI, TRS, USB connections, 49 note keyboard w/ aftertouch, mod, and pitch wheel, operates in monophonic, polyphonic, and duophonic modes, 12-in/12-out CV section, offering 3 Brute oscillators, a 4 mode Steiner-Parker filter and a 3 mode ladder filter, 5 analog effects, 64 step sequencer, ability to recall 256 presets, and the incredible modulation matrix – this thing is a BEAST!!!)

By combining the analog sonic power of their Brute series analog synthesizers with an innovative routing and sequencing matrix, Arturia's MatrixBrute provides you with the full flexibility of a modular synth, with the convenience of modern digital control. This isn't to say that the MatrixBrute won't play well with your modern modular gear — its 12-in/12-out CV section covers all the analog I/O you could ask for — but you don't need to touch a single patch cable to route signal around this singular synth. While traditional elements such as a 4-mode Steiner-Parker filter and a 3-mode ladder filter are exciting all by themselves, the 64-step sequencer and ability to instantly recall 256 presets have really turned heads here at WaterWorks Entertainment. We're also impressed by the feel of the full-sized, 49-note keyboard, which makes the Arturia MatrixBrute one of the most playable synthesizers around.

Check out more on the Arturia Matrix Brute Analog Synth in the video below:

KRK ROKIT 7 G4 Studio Monitor Review

Welcome to the sixth week of our "Gear Mania Mondays," featuring a unique piece of equipment used over at WWE Studios each and every Monday. This week we are featuring the KRK Rokit 7 G4 Powered Studio Monitors, one of our 5 different stereo studio monitor setups. (We've also got a pair of Yamaha HS5s, a pair of Tannoy Reveals, a pair KRK Classic 5 G3 Silver and Black Limited Editions, and a pair of Roland M-8s, all of which will be featured in the weeks to come!)

KRK ROKITs have always been top sellers, and the fourth generation of these studio monitors doesn’t disappoint. The ROKIT 7 G4 features a pro-grade design, with low-distortion Kevlar drivers pushed by an efficient Class D power amp with a built-in brickwall limiter. An optimized high-frequency waveguide ensures a wide, deep, dynamic sweet spot and incredible imaging, while a low-resonance enclosure and front-firing port yield excellent low-end response and straightforward speaker placement. State-of-the-art DSP will maximize your acoustic environment with room correction, an LCD visual EQ, and more. And everything is easily controlled via the KRK app on an iOS or Android smart device.

Waked Lunch - Collections - License music for your commercial projects

As many of you know, in addition to running WaterWorks Entertainment, I also do compositions for film/tv/podcasts and other commercial projects in a project called, Waked Lunch. I wanted to update you all on some of what has been keeping my so busy over the last 3 or so months...

So the Waked Lunch website has just undergone a massive update. I have added an entirely new section, called "Collections" that breaks all of the Waked Lunch compositions down by genre, mood, instrumentation, etc. It is my hope that it will make it easier for producers looking for music for their film/tv/podcasts and other commercial projects to find exactly what they are looking for. Keep checking back over the coming weeks as new collections are being added daily.

For the music lovers who just enjoy listening to the music, it's a super bonus for you, as you can now go and listen to the majority of the Waked Lunch catalog online for free.

Here is a direct link to the new "Collections" section of the Waked Lunch website:

https://www.wakedlunch.com/collections

Also, if you've got some free time and want to get inspired, you can also check out the WebTV page of the Waked Lunch site featuring other artists, movies, and clips that have inspired the Waked Lunch project. Go get you some inspiration! Direct link to Waked Lunch's WebTV:

https://www.wakedlunch.com/webtv

There is quite a bit of new music up on the site now. The last 3 months have been very fruitful and I've created over 25 new tracks here at WaterWorks Entertainment studios for your listening pleasure. The plan is to release 2 new albums later this year. In the meantime, you can check out most of the new pieces via the "License for Film" page. Newer pieces are towards the top of the playlist. Direct link:

https://www.wakedlunch.com/license-for-film

Some of these new pieces were done for a documentary project I've been working on with some truly wonderful film producers. I will have more details on the documentary and where you can watch it later this year, once production is complete, so stay tuned for more updates on that.

Finally, since it's Valentine's Day, I thought I'd share a piece, entitled, "Hello, My Love" that was done several years ago for the Motion Picture, "Sol-i-s," and is featured on Waked Lunch's third studio album, also entitled, "Sol-i-s (Music from the Original Motion Picture)." The link below should allow you to not only listen, but download the track for free:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/txh76n0dcvz27i4/HelloMyLove.mp3?dl=0

The WaterWorks site will be receiving a major update in the coming weeks as well, so I will of course update you when that has launched. While we are still open for bookings and other projects as usual, please be patient with us, as there is a lot happening in the WaterWorks and Waked Lunch camps right now.

All the best! ;)

Also, I have been working on several new Waked Lunch pieces for a documentary project I've been working on this past year with a couple of amazing people who are true masters of their craft! More details on the documentary will follow in the coming months. In the meantime, hop over to the Waked Lunch FB page and give it a like. I will be posting some free tunes over the coming days for your listening enjoyment.

Finally, we would be remiss if we were to go without mentioning our sadness at the passing of the legendary First Lady of TV, Betty White. She was a true gem and has most certainly influenced yours truly over the years. Thank you for being a friend, Betty, especially for being such a good friend to animals! Be sure to give my bestie, JTE, a big hug and enjoy a drink with him. He will definitely give you a chuckle or two.

Speaking of Justin, his tribute show at the Ryman on January 4th was postponed due to Covid, on what would have been his 40th birthday. The good news for those of you that missed out is that the show has been rescheduled to January 4th of next year (so 2023). There are still a few tickets available when I checked a few days ago, so be sure to grab one. All proceeds go to benefit Justin's daughter, Etta, so it is for a truly great cause. If you can't make it to Nashville, the concert will also be available for those that wish to stream it online for a small fee. You can get tickets to the in-person show at the Ryman or purchase tickets for a streaming pass at the website below:
https://ryman.com/event/justin-townes-earle-tribute/

I think that's it for now. Happy New Year everyone!
