WIN a NATIVE INSTRUMENTS Maschine Mk 3 + Komplete 12 Ultimate by entering our competition! When NATIVE INSTRUMENTS first released Maschine in 2009, there was nothing like it. NI took the concept of a hardware sampler and paired it with software on a computer. You record loops by playing sounds assigned to pads, then choose effects (like delay or compression), bring different loops or sounds in and out, control automation, and more. Since it’s based on layering loops, the Maschine MK3 is great for recording song ideas quickly – an MPC for the modern age 💥 issuu.com/resolutionmag/docs/resolution_v18.d_april_2019/41

The terrible fire in Paris on the evening of Monday 15 April has inevitably drawn parallels with the blaze at York Minster, 35 years ago. The University of York is renowned for its music department (an immersive audio AES conference was recently held there) and it seems appropriate then to highlight these remarks by Dr Jez Wells, writing for the university’s website:
“I remember when first working as a recording engineer, capturing chant in Notre Dame Cathedral and noting its incredible reverberation. The building's reverberation is so strong and rich that it really seemed as if the ghosts of its past were coming out of the walls and singing along.
"It was a light bulb moment in my appreciation and grasp of sound and recording. The fire damage to the roof of the building means that it can no longer make those same responses to sound that it has been making for over 800 years, which is tragic indeed.
"Sound reverberation could be considered a niche topic, but when you listen to the sounds that Notre Dame makes, you realise the power in its audible rendition of space, geometry, fabric and time.”
