Michael Jackson was an innovator of pop music with an innate sense of how to entertain and inspire. Dispite his sometimes odd behavior and the scandlas later in his life he retained a huge fan base and never lost many of his loyal supporters. Even many of his critics couldn't help but like the music he did in the 80s or the stuff he snag as a child in the Jackson 5. It's hard not to hear one of his songs and not want to get up and dance. RIP Michael Jackson, Remixin salutes you!

At Remixin we're always trying to find new and interesting ways for people to remix and share their music. We now allow people to share Max/MSP patches and Pd Patches along with stems and remix kits. If you use Max you can remix the max patch or just use the sound samples in your patch. When you upload your remix you can also attach your max patches so that others can remix from your remix patch. Iterative patch remixes could yield some interesting tunes!

Ableton has just announced the release of Live 8. You can now buy or upgrade to version 8.

I got to play with beta of Live 8 last month and really like the improvements. There are new features like groove pool, new clip warping, real-time looper synth, vocoder, crossfades, & enhanced editing. I never upgraded to 7 (I still use 6) but I am planning on upgrading to 8 this month.

Cnet has a cool article on how very high end headphones are made. View Article Here.

The Sennheiser HD 800 Headphones take an assembly line team of workers 45 mins to make one pair. Only 50 are made a day. Compare this with other headphones where hundreds or thousands are made a day.

You can find the headphones on Amazon if you are interested in spending some serious coin on your next pair of headphones, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001OTZ8DA
