I think it was back in 1997, we were introduced to a piece of software called ReBirth. Developed by Propellerhead, a small company from Sweden, it swept the feet underneath us (and a few thousand others) by emulating two Roland TB-303 synthesizers, a Roland TR-808, and a Roland TR-909 drum machine all at once. And ah...remember the mods? Then, a few years later came Reason which is an essential part of our setup today.

And now what? They have done what they never said they were going to do, namely audio-recording. Propellerhead Software are introducing Record, which will be available in fall. And although we have absolutely no plans of ditching the ProTools setup any day soon, this looks quite impressing. Mixer with full EQ and all. I guess this might come handy doing outside-of-studio recordings or anything involving a laptop. We’ll see.

So, finally here it is, our new site up and running, version 3. So what took us so long? Well, time constraint is always a factor, plus we needed a new logo. And this time around, we decided to divide my (Frode) businesses and Runes music-activities by launching three...(yes 3) Sounds Like You sites. This one for music production and two upcoming sites for mac support and web design. And to be honest, this is not the first version of the redesign, far from it. But now we feel at home and just for fun, here’s a screenshot of our previous sites.

We are now renting the studio Lydbadet on a regular basis. The studio is located in downtown Oslo in the same building as the well-known live venue, Rockefeller. Lydbadet is run by producer Jan-Tore Diesen - also known as a part of the norwegian electronica-act Bermuda Triangle. We are looking forward to have this great studio to our disposal which means we are now capable of doing full scale projects - pre production, recording and mixing.
