Working in music production
Ohm Force, makers of the excellent Symptohm, Frohmage and Ohmicide plug-in instruments and effects, have unveiled their latest project, which the French company has been working on for several years. The Ohm Studio is an online audio and MIDI sequencer for PC and Mac, offering everything you’d expect from your regular DAW, including audio/MIDI editing, envelopes, a piano roll, audio effects and virtual instruments – the only major difference being that you and your collaborators can all work on the same project in real time. What’s more, Ohm Force announced that they’re setting up the Cohmunity (you’ve got to love the company’s ability to cram “ohm” into all their product names), where you can find other musicians to work with, post your mixdowns and receive feedback.
Beta testing will begin in Q3 of 2010, so the Ohm Studio is still a little way off, but this video has more than whetted our appetite:
So can you see yourself using this online studio to collaborate with other musicians around the world? Why not sign up for beta testing at www.ohmstudio.com to find out?

It sounds like a joke, but it’s all too real: Native Instruments’ next release is an Alicia Keys-endorsed Kontakt piano instrument called, unbelievably, “Alicia’s Keys”. It appears that the soul diva herself was involved in the recording of the instrument and used it comprehensively on the creation of her new album. Check it out!
So what celebrity endorsed instruments would you like to see? We’d like to get our hands on “Trevor’s Horn”, but there must be some less risqué-sounding possibilities out there…
