\\n\\nBasil Records Mentions PSN On Their Blog

\\n\\nChristian King:\\n
    \\n"I have a friend who has a hardware sampler that enables him to quickly record a sound directly into it and then manipulate and sequence that sound quickly and easily. I\'ve been looking for a plug-in alternative to this. What I\'m looking for is something with a record button that I can click, say "boom", and have that "boom" available immediately for manipulation and sequencing."

    \\n\\nTry Abelton LIVE.

\\n\\nPascal Zander: Help Him Identify These Songs

\\n\\nGreg Kocis:\\n
    \\nThis video details the origins of one of the most famous and used drum loop samples ever. It narrates the history of the "Amen Break," a six-second drum sample from the b-side of a chart-topping single from 1969. This sample was used extensively in early hiphop and sample-based music, and became the basis for drum-and-bass and jungle music -- a six-second clip that spawned several entire subcultures.

\\n\\nJohn Walker:\\n\\n
    \\n"I travel on business a lot and I\'m looking for a way to take something along that will allow me to work on songs while I\'m on the road. I\'m a Pro Tools user and I\'m seriously considering the MBox Mini, but I was wondering if you guys were aware of any other platforms that might work as well or maybe better on a laptop."

    \\n\\nGo For The Mini

    \\n
\\n\\nPierre Foisy:\\n
    \\n"I need to hook-up an audio-interface to my iMac running Garageband. I\'ve been behind in my knowledge of all the digital things and so I\'m just coming back to recording and trying to get up-to-snuff on all this.

    \\n\\n"I would like to make a recording that will be the best I can do with the equipment I have. Right now, I\'ve stopped my choice of interface to three models: Edirol FA-101, Focusrite Saffire (not LE) or TC Electronic Konnekt 8 or Konnekt 24. In terms of quality, how would you rate them from less to better."

    \\n\\nThose are three very nice units, all from reputable companies. Any of them would make a great choice. For a more detailed analysis and recommendation, give our friend Andy Diekroger a call over at Sweetwater.

\\n\\n\\n\\nDave Criddle from The Home Recording Odyssey podcast had a comment about the job openings we mentioned in the last show that were advertised for the King\'s Island theme park. He used to work there as a bass player!
