A quick, really basic demonstration of the collaborative focus of the Ohm Studio. This is looking quite intriguing. I hope the price / pricing model will support wide adoption. I have some friends that I would like to try this with, but won’t be able to do so if the cost is too high.
Cheers.

FXPansion has released an update to DCAM Synth Squad with a cute promotional contest.
To celebrate the release of DCAM: Synth Squad v1.03 and the Himalaya: Antiquity preset pack, FXPansion has a cute promotional contest with some decent prizes on offer. To enter, first you need to watch the Synth Squad Recreations video (embedded below). It consists of some cheeky versions of classic synth-based songs produced entirely with DCAM: Synth Squad and Himalaya: Antiquity preset pack. All you have to do is name all 8 songs in the video…
The prizes are as follows:
Simple rules:
Well, the “5 Days of Reason 5″ is over. I think one of the more exciting announcements is one that they have not highlighted:
Record Notes on Multiple Tracks - Reason 5 and Record 1.5 lets you use multiple MIDI keyboards, pads, and controllers for playing and recording your instruments. Lock a 16-pad controller to a Kong, and use a keyboard to play your synths. Or use two keyboards on stage for controlling different Reason instruments.
A friend of mine has been jonesin’ for this for years.
Below are the movies they posted for each highlighted feature.?(I’ll list the other “less celebrated” changes after the movies.)?’Course the truly interesting deal with all of these is this: Given all of the connections possible betwixt and between the Reason modules, what really weird and wonderful stuff can you do patching this stuff together in unexpected ways?
Dr. OctoRex – This is one of the cooler additions in my book.

Blocks – This is extremely cool. On the surface, it seems a bit “Ableton-esque”, but it is probably closer in concept to Cubase’s Arranger mode or DP’s Song mode (or going further back, sequences and subsequences from Opcode’s venerable StudioVision). This however, looks to be a lot easier to deal with.

The Props look to do it again! (Extract cash from my wallet.)
Every morning at 9:00 a.m. EST (US) Propellerhead is announcing one new feature from their upcoming versions of REASON and RECORD. Yesterday they announced “Dr. Octo Rex” (and it looks quite cool). Video is below.

Release date is “end of summer 2010.” Upgrade pricing is TBD as far as I can tell.
They are accepting applications for beta testers…..
Enjoy.
I’ve been using the new Presonus StudioOne Pro 1.5 update a bit more lately. I have to say this DAW is coming along really, really nicely. There are some very cool productivity features and the fact that it has a modern code base shows. The Presonus team is also really helpful and responsive and the online community has a really nice vibe. I encourage folks to check out the free demo. (Coming from traditional DAWs one may be looking for more traditional and “complicated” ways of doing things, so check out the built-in tutorials when you do.)
There are also a ton of Presonus and user demonstration and help videos on the web.
