Whether he is working with the Pussycat Dolls, Brandi or J Lo, he is always looking for new ways to use technology in the studio. Watch at Winksound.

Results of "What style of music do you prefer to remix?"

Posted Tue, 09/29/2009 - 18:16 by Remixin

We posted a poll back in August asking what style of music do you prefer to remix. I was actually pretty shocked to see that house music was the top choice. I was expecting more of tie between Electro, Electronica and House. Of course the term house encompasses a large number of sub genres, but it's still surprising. I'm sure the Johnny Fiasco remix contest skewed the results a bit.

If you haven't responded yet, check out the poll and pick your favorite music style to remix.

Vst4free's summer best of (free VST instruments and effects, soundbanks)

Posted Thu, 09/10/2009 - 01:28 by vst4free

Hi, I'm new to remixin and I'll start posting about free VST and soundbanks.

I run a blog about the subject for some time now, so I'll share with you my selection regularly. You'll say "oh no, another free VST list", it's not about that, the aim is to make a real selection to talk only about the ones that I liked, this way I hope to save you time ;)

As I'm just back from vacation, I'll begin with a best-of from my previous selections in order to mention things you might have missed !

A Quick Tribute to Michael Jackson

Posted Sun, 06/28/2009 - 21:44 by John

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!
