Rush Subdivisions – Multi-Nation Virtual Band Cover/Collaboration
This is a cover of the opening track, Subdivisions, of the 1982 album, Signals. It was made by the co-ordinated effort of four musicians spread over four different countries, Canada, The Netherlands, Germany and the USA. The cover you hear has a backing track switched in (at a very low level) during the vocals only, we felt that without the vocals the overall effect of the video itself wasn’t as good as that with vocals. Although we realise we will never be able to completely emulate the fantastic music produced by the source of our inspiration (Rush), we sincerely hope you enjoy our cover and that it also inspires you to go out and buy the CD and/or pick up an instrument and learn the song for yourself. Anyone who is inspired by this video, please leave a comment and let the world know. Many thanks for taking the time to read this short notice. Please feel free to visit our YouTube channel by clicking on the VirtuallyRush name, and from there to visit our individual channels for more great videos related to instruction on how to play the individual instrument parts for many songs.

Sound Design Tutorial: Using Native Instruments’ Reaktor To Build Virtual Instruments
More info – bit.ly Dubspot Electronic Music Production and Sound Design Instructor Evan Sutton explains how to make basic connections and building a subtractive synthesizer using Native Instruments Reaktor’s Built In Modules in this new tutorial. There are many levels to Reaktor’s hierarchy. In the last tutorial, we spent most of our time on the Instrument level, making small changes and swapping out effects. If you missed the first tutorial, you can find it here: bit.ly In the second installment, we’ll go even deeper and build our own instrument from the ground up. We’ll be using Reaktor’s Built In Modules, which are tools that range from simple math to complex signal processors. Many of these modules are the basic tools used in modular synthesis. We’ll use these to build a simple synthesizer with one oscillator and an amplitude envelope. Remember to keep the volume down while you’re setting up your modules. It’s important to explore basic signal flow in Reaktor. There are infinite possibilities for experimentation, but these concepts are the starting point for building larger and more complex ensembles.
