Steve Reich

For anyone who's interested you can download some more Steve Reich:

Steve Reich & Ensemble Moderne - Music For 18 Musicians

















Steve Reich - Drumming

Importing other VSTs

First you have to put the VST DLLs into Cubase's VstPlugins folder.

Then, in Cubase, open the "VST" window (by default press F11 I think). Click on an empty slot and a context menu will pop up, the VST should be listed there, select it.

After it is loaded, create a new MIDI track, set it's "Output" to the VST you want.

Then you can draw in some notes and play it back, it should come out with the sound of the VST you selected.
Thanks for starting this blog! Great idea!

C Sound for Mac



For all of you using a Mac computer, and still have problems or don't know how to use CSound, try this:

1.- Download the MacCSound program here.
2.- Download the MacCSound Library here (this is the library that works for PPC and Intel chips)
3.- Unpack the library, and install at least CSound5.mpkg, and CSoundLib.pkg.
4.- Now you can install and run the MacCsound program you downloaded in step 1.

This Front End is very friendly and as easy to use as lettuce (it's nicer in my opinion).

Hope it helps.
