How to make the bass, keys and pad sounds from Nina Kraviz 'I'm Gonna Get You' with DRC...

Published on 11 Jan 2019

The track title ‘I’m Gonna Get You’ could almost be a testament to Nina Kraviz’ dedication and determination to succeed as a house/techno DJ and producer, in an undeniably male dominated industry. Kraviz early adventures into dance music saw her managing dental records by day and vinyl records by night, as she studied dentistry in Moscow whilst holding down a Friday night club residency.Released in 2010, ‘I’m Gonna Get You’ was one of Kraviz’ first tracks to make it outside of Russia, providing the exposure and publicity needed to make her mark on the international dance music scene. This was no easy task however, as Kraviz still had to fight hard to be taken seriously, speaking about this period of her career she says that ‘people were suspicious of a pretty woman making music on her own, with a vision.’That ‘vision’ is one that involves passionate and energetic performances whilst behind the decks, often mistaken as being intoxicated, her wild enthusiasm shines through. ‘People think I’m on drugs, but I’m not – I’m just really experiencing it’.In this week’s DRC Sound Design Tutorial we show you how to get the bass, keys and pad sounds for yourself from this funky little minimal track.Click here to download the Ableton project fileIt’s all about the music in our house,Team Imaginando...

We're starting 2019 with something BIG for iOS music makers.Today we are incredibly excited and proud to announce that DRC on iOS now features AUv3 support! After months of hard work involving some difficult technical challenges, we're thrilled to have achieved one of our primary goals for DRC with this release.The iOS music production scene is growing faster than ever thanks to the possibilities of the AUv3 plugin format/standard, and now DRC is part of that revolution.

This enables us to provide the update to everyone who has already supported us at zero cost.This means that from today we have increased the price of ‘Unlock Synth Engine’ on iOS only, as we believe this is the fairest way for us to offset the hundreds of hours we spent making this happen!We are fortunate to have some very passionate, enthusiastic and knowledgeable beta testers out there; thank you to everyone who participated, you helped make our DRC AUv3 dream come true!For now, a maximum of 4 instances of DRC can be open at any time due to device memory constraints - something we plan to improve in the future.DRC 2.0.0 for iOS is available to download now from the App Store, for devices running iOS 10.3 or later.

How to make the bass and pad sound for Lorde 'Team' with DRC...

Published on 7 Jan 2019

It feels longer than 5 years since New Zealand singer-songwriter Lorde first gave us her unique blend of indie/pop/electro (or whatever the Millenials call it these days!) when she was catapulted into the limelight in 2013 with her massive hit ‘Royals’. Amazingly she was just 16 at the time when it hit number 1 in the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, making her one of the youngest solo performers to do so. The previous artist/track to achieve this feat was back in 1987 when one-hit wonder Tiffany told us ‘I think we’re alone now’.Thankfully Lorde’s music career hasn’t mirrored Tiffany’s, and the follow-up single to Royals was another one word song title, ‘Team’. The team in question being a tribute to her friends and the people of New Zealand, as she explains how it feels to live somewhat isolated and disconnected from popular music culture.Lorde is no stranger to music production, after getting involved with the process on her debut album ‘Pure Heroine’, she is cited as co-producer for the entirety of her second LP in 2017 ‘Melodrama’. The other producer being Jack Antonoff, winner of multiple Grammy awards, his biggest production credit is working on Taylor Swift’s phenomenally popular album ‘1989’. It’s certainly a team that works though, as the album was a success with critics and fans alike.This week we’re taking on the bass sound and the pad sound from Lorde’s ‘Team’ and showing you how to recreate them for yourself with DRC.Click here to download the Ableton project fileWe’ll never be royals,Team Imaginando...

customer service

"If you didn't love Traktor already.....you will. I have long waited finding a touch screen control app that actually worked and was easy to set up. I have tried them all and you guys made it happen."

"Brilliant app. Really maximised my live production capabilities"

"By the time that the 1st pop-up ad showed up, I had made a ridiculously evil organ sound. I was sold"

"These guys are smart and understand what pro and semi-pro musicians want. DRC fills a void in the synth app market in being the first elegantly portable sound engine."

"very useful! excellent and precise to use the effects of traktor"
