Look at the ace as he rocks the place

So, just have to share this with you guys. I thought it was absolutely hilarious.

You may know DJ Bluecore from the Hard­core chan­nel on DI. He has recently imple­mented a web­cam into his weekly show and when the live video feed pre­miered, he was asked to mix with his nose. Can he pull it off? See for yourself:

Temporarily changed the looks

If you’re a fre­quent vis­i­tor of my site you might notice that it looks dif­fer­ent now. The rea­son for this is that I ran into prob­lems with the theme that I was using before. I assume it’s to do with some of the plu­g­ins that I use for the site, but either way, I’m sure this will get bet­ter very soon.

In the mean time, if you have any sug­ges­tions for an appro­pri­ate Word­Press tem­plate, please send me a link or some­thing, cause I would love to hear about it! :)

New Hardcore Underground T-Shirts

At last we have more HU T-Shirts avail­able! It’s another lim­ited edi­tion run with a slightly dif­fer­ent design and colourscheme to last time around. The shirts will again only be avail­able in black, but this time the logo is out­line only, and printed in high qual­ity white (which looks awe­some under UV / black­lights). Stock is very lim­ited and as last time we expect these to sell out very quickly.

Vengeance Producer Suite — Metrum

The Vengeance team has come together with Keil­w­erth Audio to bring you this year’s kick syn­the­sizer. It’s based on lay­er­ing and mix­ing var­i­ous drum­sam­ples together and putting them through effects to give you a totally new kick­drum. The mar­ket­ing focuses on cre­at­ing a kick that suits your track, rather than the other way around. The plu­gin should be released this week­end and co-creator Manuel Schleis has announced on his forum that the cost of this plu­gin will be around €100-€150 (~£90-£135).

I think it looks rather promis­ing, but I’ll wait to judge until I’ve actu­ally had the chance to sit down and try it out. What do you think about this? Is this the tool that all pro­duc­ers have been look­ing for, or is this only going to be an expen­sive way to do what your DAW already does out of the box?

This video goes through the basic con­cepts of what the VST is all about. Enjoy!
