Audionautic | Covering the Latest in Music Production, Marketing and Technology

Much more optimism happening this week! Bandcamp has a new and improved Discover page, Venus Theory teamed up with UVI to create a great new Cinematic VST and we're having a first look. Finally we're talking all about our plans and strategies for the coming year.

The shifting landscape of Streaming Services continues and we will be diving into it. This week it's new royalty payouts for Dolby Atmos mixed track on Apple Music & Layoffs at Tidal. What do these recent developments mean for independent artists? We'll dive in and hear from the community in the chat.

Our friends over Bleass sent us a copy of their new Arpeggiator VST and @Sunwarper will be taking us through how it works and how it sounds. This isn't your average arpeggiator, with modular routing of every aspect of the plugin, as well as LFOs, X/Y and Motion Sequencing. We'll also be discussing the layoffs in Spotify's restructure and Christmas has come early over at Cherry Audio with the Synthesizer Expander Module!

Teenage Engineering are teasing our sampling G.A.S. with the new EP-133 KOII.... or is it all a bunch of hype? Spotify has officially announced the controversial royalty reforms that were leaked a few weeks back. What are we going to do about it?

Jam packed broadcast this week as we're going over the MUST HAVE #blackfriday deals for VSTs and discussing how we can incorporate them into our Studios. For the main event, we'll be joined by Label mate and Patron  @frequencycontrolcentre3572  who will be sharing with us his expert and professional advice when it comes to building your own Artists' website.

This broadcast we're taking a look at the new Korg Kaoss Replay, is it a rival to the SP404 Mk2? Or does it miss the mark? We'll also talk about a new powerful iOS Synth from our buddies over at AudioKit Pro. Plus Ableton 12 and Logic 10.8 Incoming! We'll break down what you can expect from these updates.

We've got a stack of Black Friday goodness coming in this week, along with the latest update on the changes coming Spotify and it's payouts. Finally we'll explore alternatives to the ever shaky Bandcamp post Songtradr acquisition. We take a look at two very different alternatives, Artcore and Faircamp.

In this week's broadcast, we're looking at Spotify's latest potential reform of royalties and what that means for the Indie Musician. Intech Studio has some wonderfully interesting MIDI modules, and Ableton turns 22!

This week, we talk the recently announced Akai APC 64... Is it pushing out the Push 3? Given the specs, not quite... but there is a lot to like about it and it could be a great controller for a DAW setup. We've also got a demo of the new Cherry Audio PS3300 courtesy of Eonlake. Then we'll talk the latest news coming out of Bandcamp after the Songtradr Acquisition.
