DUBturb creates complex beat sequences With Garageband ease
Quite genuinely, when I first received this product to review I was a little bit disbelieving because I had never heard of it and my extensive background as an entertainment artist seems to get in the way of what I always desire in programs involving music. But, I was pleasantly surprised, this software seemed to just have it all. I was never left with the frequent feeling of 'I wish it could do that' which I get with so many music programs. In this thing I plan on discussing the principal points and features of dubturbo that will allow the average and the musically inclined to create percussion patterns and patterns effortlessly.
There really are 3 main elements to dubturbo software which separate it from the rest of the other recording and drum sequencing programs out there, and of course several little things which do as well, though I'll deliberate these 3 popular things first.
The first main component of dubturbo software is the sequencer. The sequencer is the all familar ProTools/GarageBand style screen that shows you the tracks and when they just are playing or not displaying. It's not extremely special, however what does set this apart is that it's got 16 tracks. A beat sequencer with 16 tracks is pretty infrequent because most have far fewer! It's not the endless that ProTools will give you, but will ProTools run on your netbook? I don't think so; dubturbo will. dubturbo software lays out all the noises easily in the sequencer view, I tend to think of this as my base screen.
The next principal component of DUBturbo is the percussion machine. It's obvious that this was very well thought out. Unlike GarageBand where you just happen to be forced into beat sequences, dubturbo lets you construct anyone one wish, or alter one which already is there. It's limited to just 10 pads per track, but this allows you to 'type' in the rhythm by using your computer keyboard as the drum pad. It changes your keyboard into a beat kit and you get to determine each sample. There could not be a more customized way of doing this either. you can choose either predefined percussion 'sets' or make your own. To enter rhythms, one can either work with your mouse and click on that component of the beat you desire sample to happen or type it in on your drum pad/keyboard. This program is awesome.
The other principal element to dubturbo is the 4 Octave Keyboard feature. This is THE feature that separates dubturbo apart from the competition. you can insert melodic ideas, harmonic ideas, bass lines, anything with this. Beats without bass just are boring, repetitious and seriously boring. though add a bass line, or some sort of harmonic or melodic interest and all of a sudden those repetitious beats seem to have some sort of flow and provide interest to your fans. dubturbo additionally makes it effortless as pie to work with the keyboard thing. By using your computer keyboard, you can put the notes in just like you were in front of a piano. It's so effortless and simple to do, I wish that Sibelius or Finale notation application were this easy! dubturbo allows you to adopt up to 4 Octaves that is a big range. To some that may seem lialthoughed, but separateeparate your trackbrutalfficult to feel limited.
Here really are the other things that really are very cool about DUBturbo...
There happen to be soooo a number of sounds you can play with. If you've ever used GarageBand, there just are a mass of different sounds and sequences one can use, but navigating them takes practice to get and it's not that effortless, with DUBturbo, all the tracks happen to be effortless to maneuver. They pop up in the middle of the screen, not just at the bottom like in GarageBand. you can do more with the sounds, one can even modify the keys the tracks are in. In GarageBand you really are stuck to whatever key the sample is in, that may not be the key of your beat. dubturbo software makes changing keys easy.
dubturbo software lets you upload your beats and sell them to other dubturbo software users. That's correct, writing music is effortless on dubturbo and getting paid for those beats is really as effortless!
DUBturbo outputs record quality noises so you don't have to worry about loss of quality when you burn to CD.
Using dubturbo software is effortless, even for the non-musical user. It comes with a video instructional series to help you through, step by step, on through what agency to make effortless beats all the way through advanced user features. So learning the program couldn't be easier! These videos just are even great for users accustomed with similar style applications because it tells you shortcuts and secrets to conceive using the application easier.
Genuinely, I haven't seen an beat sequencing program as thoroughly put together as dubturbo software. It really does have it all and it creates creating beats from any genre easy and fun.
