Charlamagne Tha God offered his take on the artist formerly known as Kanye West’s claim that he gave his cousin “head” when they were young.”What am I supposed to do with this information?” The Breakfast Club host said when the subject came up on a recent episode of the Power 105.1 FM show. “If Kanye is fighting his sexuality, I hope he figures it out. Either go get help, or leave us alone. Because I don’t know what we’re supposed to do with this type of information just on a random Monday.”Jess Hilarious described what happened to Ye as “sexual…

Article Content In 1935, engineer Al Twone designed an audio processing unit that combined a compressor that featured an automatic gain control with a peak limiter. He dubbed his creation PROGAR, or Program Guardian. While it took over a decade to patent, Twone ultimately sold it the Langevin Company who then produced and sold the units. Numerous other companies including Universal Audio, General Electric and CBS Audimax designed and sold peak limiters, which went on to become one of the most important types of audio processors. Limiters can be used for a variety of tasks, and their main feature is…

You’ve heard it again and again. “Music sounds better (warmer, thicker, fatter, etc.) when summed through analog gear.”The reason? Analog devices add saturation, harmonic distortion, and compression to your sound. The constant shaping of the signal by the tube amps, pre-amps, compressors, and EQs, adds that certain magic to the sound – giving it that ‘warmth’ and ‘fatness’.But what if you only produce music on a DAW and don’t have access to all these expensive analog gear?Well, worry not because this is where saturation and ‘sound fattener’ plugins come in.Introducing Thickify by Rocket Powered SoundOver the past week, I’ve tried…

With the days of physical music sales (mostly) behind us, streaming platforms are the primary place where fans go to listen to their favorite artists. As I’m sure you’ve heard, the payouts from streaming services like Spotify are extremely low. Take Aloe Blacc, a co-writer on Avicii’s song Wake Me Up (which at one point was the most streamed song EVER) – he only made $4,000 in Spotify royalties for his songwriting contribution. Yes, it’s hard to make money on Spotify, but many artists do make part of their living through the streaming platform. Who are the types of people…
