Seven months ago Kosyne started something really special and ever since then it’s snowballed. One sample posted up as a download and any amount of beatsmiths could chop, squash and create there own instrumental to be voted on once the video (normally an airing of all the tunes in the Louis den) had been posted up on the ldbb myspace page. Within weeks established producers and bedroom knob twiddlers had entered showing how versatile the art of sampling could be. Now though ldbb has reached a new level enter Louis den beat battle League. If you haven’t signed up its to late you will have to wait till next season but catch up on the first week of rounds now over at LOUISDEN.COM.

Is this the future of computer music? for the first time you can make music with some vintage gear we’ve all seen and used..but live and with any installation hassle...
The extra cool and brainy people @ Hobnox have launched their brand new Beta Audio tool.
This flash-based emulation of Roland's classic TR-909 drum machine, two of their equally legendary TB-303 synths, and a load of stompbox pedals. Just load it up in your web browser, drop in some virtual patch cables and get tweaking! It looks a little something like this......

This one is for music heads as
u will need to understand the
basic pattern and bank systems
the 909 and 303 run on but
apart from that its click and play.
Its got a mixer to mix and tempo controls ect...
If your unsure theres a spot on tutorial to watch first, this will clear the fog..So start wasting your time creating creating and some more vintage Roland creating..
