Artist story: Dave Spoon, Subtractor magician
We paid a visit to Dave Spoon, prolific UK dance music
producer, in his combined home/studio in Portsmouth, southern England. Dave has a string of successful releases behind him and
he's been spotted in a variety of roles lately - from remixing the likes of Pet Shop Boys and Madonna, to a residency at BBC
radio's weekly 'In New DJs We Trust' show.
Follow the link to the video interview, where Dave
shows us his Reason magic and how he is using Reason's Subtractor synth to create nasty-sounding basslines in his track 'Lummox'.

Record beta update and tutorials
As you probably know by now, we are in the middle of
beta testing Record, Propellerhead Software's brand new recording software for musicians. The testing is going well and we are
currently at beta version 4, so things are looking good for the 09/09/09 release.
To satisfy the unending interest we have seen in
Record, we started publishing what we call 'Micro Tutorials' that highlight various features and concepts in Record. These
are the tutorials we have published so far:
- Micro tutorial 5 - Insert effects in Record (published today)
- Micro tutorial 4 - Channel strip rundown
- Micro tutorial 3 - Guitar recording with the Line 6 POD® in Record
- Micro tutorial 2 - Record and Reason integration
- Micro tutorial 1 - Record basics
You will find them all on the Micro Tutorial page
There are lots of things happening around Record right now. Here are some great ways to stay updated:
