We videoed David Das doing his Electri6ity Demo at NAMM. There was quite a buzz at the show over this cool VI. Look for Stanley Clarke in the crowd at the end.
Come see us at the 2010 NAMM show in Anaheim California. NAMM runs from January 14th through the 17th and you’ll find us at our booth number 6514 in hall A, right between MOTU and Digi. We are debuting a few amazing instruments this year. The first one is from Vir2 Instruments, Electri6ity. Electri6ity is a guitar VI that allows full amp modeling and processing. We are also showing the new Miroslav Vitous String Ensembles VI. On the Loop side of things we’ll be officially releasing Crank’d: Urban Rock, G-Suite, Score FX 2, Planet Trance and Sounds of Berlin. We’ll also be previewing Detroit Soul, Kings of the South: Dirty Crunk Kits, Elemental Studio Percussion and Soundscapes.
Hope to see you there. And don’t forget to pick up your show BFA discount coupon at the booth.
“don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t make money playing music. six of my pretty good musician friends are millionaires. three of them multi. three of them play music that most folks would surely comment, “you can’t make any money playing that.” don’t tell those guys. five of them are the nicest people you would ever want to meet. one of them is as mean as a snake. there you go.”
The full article by Danny Barnes is here. Well worth a read if you derive any income from music or the arts in general.
It’s 2010! Not just a new year, but a new decade. And such a great number too…it’s one of those years that was always “in the future”. “By the year 2010, mankind will travel using jetpacks, machines will do all the work, and we’ll eat all our meals from a plastic tube!” I feel like I even have to say “2010” in a robot voice, it’s that cool.
Speaking of cool, we here at Big Fish Audio have started this cool blog. One of our New Year’s Resolutions, I guess you could say. We also want our bodies thinner, our beats phatter and our customers even happier. And so with your happiness in mind, I introduce you to (drum roll please)…the Big Fish Audio Blog. Welcome!
Since this is a company blog, you’ll hear from a variety of voices. You’ll hear from our production department, our marketing department, the crazy guy who mutters to himself (that’s me) and even from our president from time to time. But I’ll let everyone introduce themselves as they jump onboard the blog.
So what are we going to talk about, and what’s in it for you? Well a few topic areas are for sure: tips and tricks for creating music, working with samples and wrangling different pieces of software and hardware. We’ll discuss trends and news in the music and sample/audio world. We have some really talented people in house, with professional experience as film score composers, producers, engineers…a real powerhouse of talent here, and not just when it comes to making loops and virtual instruments.
We will also have interviews with some of our producers that create our products, so you can learn what went into making it. And we’ll also announce and discuss new products here, as well as sales and special events. That’s right, our blog goals include making you smarter and saving you money. Seems a worthy endeavor, doesn’t it?
And of course you’ll be able to comment on our posts, give us feedback, tell us when we’re hitting the mark and when we’re not. Let’s get the party and the conversation started! So stick us in your newsfeed, and recommend our blog to your friends. Second post coming soon…
