To support audio communities around the world with activities aiding creativity Antelope Audio have announced their new online mixing series and a plugins voucher offer as part of their campaign “Together We Create” as well as a programme making equipment available to those who can’t access it due to COVID-19.
“Stay at Home and Mix with...” is Antelope Audio’s new live stream series, allowing anyone to learn the tools of the trade utilised by some of its favourite producers and audio engineers. Engaging with these YouTube sessions will yield valuable mixing tricks and recording secrets. Meanwhile, more product-orientated live streams offer insight on how to make more effective use of some of Antelope Audio’s acclaimed hardware and software. The “Stay at Home and Mix with...” stream scheduling is available here along with replays of previous sessions.
A great many musicians have already turned their homes into a studio spaces during the Coronavirus crisis. Music has always managed to bring people together through good times and bad. “Boat of Souls” is a joint effort between songwriters, artists, and musicians to create a song that will inspire and bring people together. The theme of the song is: “We are all souls in one boat and together we can overcome this challenge.” Joining the LITTLE BIG BEAT STUDIOS project, Antelope Audio is on a quest to prove that social distancing does not mean losing the connection between individuals, and you are all invited.
As a starting point, original drum pattern, guitar harmony, and rhythm samples created by LITTLE BIG BEAT STUDIOS have been uploaded to their website, where anyone can download them as a basis for creating their recordings. Samples and video contributions can be sent to boatofsouls@littlebigbeat.com.
Sadly not everyone has access to the tools needed to take part, and, as an acknowledgement of this Antelope Audio has prepared a limited number of emergency recording kits, available on a first-come, first-served basis to those who are really in need of support. You can find out more about how to take part and how to get you hands-on some recording equipment at the BOAT OF SOULS Project pages of the Antelope Audio website.
