Prime Loops: Dirty Electro Synth Loops
The latest addition to the Prime Loops catalogue focuses on electro synth textures.
Containing over 160 loops, Dirty Electro Synth Loops is a collection of “addictive, filthy nu-house licks, raw wobbly sub-bass grooves, jackin’, rude and disgustingly electroholic twisted leads, crystallised sexy electro-flavoured textures, and purified pulsating chord progressions.”

Production Master Class: Automation
After a brief US holiday break, our master classes are back in session.

New Noise Apps for iPhone
Since the release of the iPhone 2.0 operating system, Amidio Inc. has been hard at work putting the finishing touches on a pair of iPhone apps for EDM producers.
We covered the initial pre-announcement of Noise.io a while back, but it looks like the finished product (iTunes link) is a real gem.
Noise.io’s (pictured above) ESFM synthesis tools are a combination both FM and subtractive synthesis technology, kind of like a simpler version of Ableton’s Operator, with a sci-fi interface.

Tutorial: How to use modulation effects
With compression, gates, delay and reverb covered, we’ll now delve into the mysteries of modulation effects.
Flanging, chorusing, phasers, tremolo, and auto-panning are the most common types of modulation effects in modern synths and digital audio workstation software.
Since each of these effects has its own flavor, this tutorial will cover the specifics of what to use and when to use it.
For example, flangers are great for adding animation to percussion and sweeps, but can be problematic when used on bass.
Let’s find out why.

Native Instruments releases True Strike Tension
The latest Native Instruments’ Kore Soundpack, True Strike Tension, combines world percussion instruments from Africa, Japan, and the Middle East, then adds a cinematic element that focuses on suspense and mystery.
We think that’s an interesting combination with quite a bit of potential – and the demos on the NI website certainly support that.
Created in collaboration with notable sound design company ProjectSAM, the sounds in True Strike Tension make great use of the sound shaping and browsing features in Kore 2 and the free Kore Player.
