Along with numerous other pagan customs and practices, the ideas behind the Music of the Spheres was embraced by Christian doctrines. Unlike most of these other cults and religions (Greek, Roman, and Egyptian mythology, Zoroastrianism, etc.), Christianity […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

The Introductory Dialogue considers the difference between so-called enharmonic equivalents: for example, F-sharp and G-flat. In fact, all of the dialogues that follow assumed that the student understands the difference between any two such enharmonically equivalent pitches, and is able to notate music accordingly.

Dubturbo 2.0 Preview Download Dubturbo To Try For Yourself Dubturbo version 2.0 is almost out and I must say it does look amazing. We where actually very lucky to give it a demo as a beta tester and compared to Dubturbo 1.5 this is going to shack the music software world, especially if they keep the price the same as it is now.

After talking to the owner of Dubturbo I can honestly say his goal is to keep it affordable so anyone can start making their own beats. […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
