Welcome to New Time Music UK (NTMusic)

NTM UK is currently in the studio going over past material for a series titled 'Back to the Mixes'. This weekly post will cover some of the best of the NTM UK collection while going into technical detail about the processes and instruments used within each mix. The first instalment looks at the Yamaha DJX as a sound source and the difference that a computer sequencer makes.

 

Field recordings

April 20th, 2010
 

It been a very long time since posting on the New Time Music Blog; but life has come first. With that said and apologies to those that have emailed me I do hope many of you budding sound engineers have been taking advantage of the once in a life time opportunity to do field recordings in the open without the constant sound pollution that smears the sky’s each day.

Yes a large bonfire (OK Volcano) has caused all planes to be grounded and given field recordings a unique opportunity. Unfortunately due to work I have yet to get chance to do this so it would be really interesting to hear and speak to anyone who has seized this wonderful opportunity.

I’ll be posting a little more frequently from now on, finishing the Return to the Mixes is a priority so keep tuned and good luck with the music.
