One of the Best Filter and FX plug ins for Maschine? CamelPhat for sure!

Posted on by

I am a huge fan of good filters and multi effect plug ins. I horde them like golden treasures and use them often. Recently I had the pleasure of coming across CamelPhat from Camel audio. In its latest version (3.5 as of this writing) I am finding my self using it more and more often. Everything from side chaining a bass line with the LFO pumping away, to Resonating distortion on my snares to warm subtle tube saturation on a rhodes patch all the way out to moving swirling flangers and hectic rhytmic pulses. Camelphat seems to do all this not only while staying light on the cpu but being laid out in such a way its incredibly fast and intuitive to use right from the maschine hardware.
Here is a list of some of the features in this plug.

Features

  • ‘Phattening’ multi-effect, great for punchy drums, bass and lots more.
  • Four distortion modules; warm and soft to crunchy and fat.
  • Magic EQ, compressor, three filters, two LFOs, envelope follower.
  • Easy-to-use, with X/Y pad and intelligent Randomize.
  • 300 categorised presets.

Ibanez Jam Pack Quick Start Jr. 3/4 Guitar Review and thoughts.

Posted on by

American Musical Supply Provided me with an Ibanez Jam Pack Quick Start jr 3/4 size guitar package and Here is my Review.

First off Let me start off by giving some details as to what a 3/4 size guitar is useful for. Generally speaking this size guitar is going to be used by either Kids or smaller adults that are learning guitar. they are typically a little easier on the hands while still providing a natural feel and ability to translate your learned techniques easily to a full size guitar.
I always recommend when learning guitar I feel it’s best to start acoustic as it tends to be better on your fingers and there is no FX or distortion to cloud the purity of your technique.
Have a look at the video Review to get some more insight into my thoughts on this package.
