FL Studio 9

FL Studio (formerly “Fruityloops”) is a DAW by Image-Line currently only available for Windows.

Favorite Album: Whispering Jack by John Farnham

Whispering Jack

“John Farnham” is a household name in Australia – a good bloke, an amazing singer, and once Australian of the Year. Born in 1949, he became a pop idol as a teenager, and later achieved further fame with The Little River Band. The band broke up in 1985, leaving a major question mark over his career. Whispering Jack was his response, and the album that revitalized his solo career. (more…)

Featured Author of the Week: MartynHarvey

MartynHarvey is a partnership between English composers Chris Martyn and Geoff Harvey. Their AudioJungle portfolio is predominantly based on compositions for the children’s music genre and classical, fully orchestrated numbers. What I particularly like about MartynHarvey’s music is how soft and understated it is, which draws the listener in and makes them listen to the fine nuances demonstrated throughout each track. Their work in the children’s genre is particularly impressive for their compositions perfectly capture the playfulness and innocence of what it’s like to be a small child in an exciting, big world.

Here are some highlights from MartynHarvey’s portfolio:

Record and Collaborate Online with Thounds

Thounds

The songs he recorded were “My Happiness” and “That’s When Your Heartache Begins”, and it cost him a total of $3.98. Fifty-five years later, a new web service called Thounds aims to make recording music just as cheap and easy today. (more…)
