Music is one of the best gifts mother nature has given us. There is music everywhere, from the busy traffic to the very solemn woods, there is music in your heart and also in the heart of the birds, you see flying around. Music is something every human being on the surface of the earth should understand, or at least seek to understand. It gets very important if you are a musician. Without even being told, you should just know that it makes sense to study the ‘rules’ of music- actually the rules of everything. You might have looked up some online materials to see what is really about this "music theory", only to find that it is some dry, kind of boring and abstract topic you are not sure you want to waste your time on. Maybe the more you keep seeking to understand, the more it keeps getting confusing because they brought in ‘lines and spaces’ and some hilarious looking symbols. This book here will make music theory more meaningful, fun, and a lot less boring for you.

We are thrilled to present our second video series with chart-topping mix engineer Jaycen Joshua! This instalment focuses on another hit by the Spanish artist Rosalia - 'Yo x Ti, Tu x Mi' featuring Ozuna. Jaycen recounts the way in which he mixed the official release in hybrid fashion using a SSL 9080 XL K-Series console, then reveals how he crafted a sonically competitive remix entirely 'in the box'. He goes into great detail on his Pro Tools template and innovative processing techniques on a variety of source material - lead vocal, ad-libs, steel drums, 808, kick, snare, percussion, and more. Noting the style of producer 'El Guincho', Joshua demonstrates how the record can be enhanced for the pop market whilst retaining its cultural aesthetic.
