New album from Brandon K. Montoya aka The Incomplete Orchestra.
Fresh and on sale through Nimbit.com is “Healthy Insanity Dot Commandos”
the latest digital download album from The Incomplete Orchestra. It
features bouncy hip hop tracks, smooth chill tracks and a range of fun to
very serious hip hop vocal work.
In addition to Mr. Montoya’s own mixing skills, other artists from around
the globe have dug into their own creative toolboxes to expand this mix.
Kruzzial lends his B-Boy experience to remix the track “Operation Cast
Lead” while Presse from France shows his skills over several vocal tracks.
Also not to be missed is the contribution from Mixgalaxy Records, a
netlabel from Russia. Several of their sound producers “competed” with one
another to remix “Tricky Dicky” and all but one of the songs is available
on this CD.
With 23 songs and over an hour of music, it’s a great value for $5
Also available on his website at healthyinsanity.com is a pack of
home-made, lo-fi noise recordings used to make the song “Army Of Bums”
from the same album. The loops are released under a Creative Commons 3.0

Mixgalaxy Records on “Healthy Insanity Dot Commandos”
A few weeks ago we decided to remix randomly choosen hip-hop acapellas. We
remixed ‘Tricky Dicky’ by Coruscate (Brandon K. Montoya) and the mixes by
Cubic and Gipa have been included in our latest compilation Music For the
Weird Clerk Fish”
http://mixgalaxyrecords.com/releases/mixg009
But that’s only part of the story. First there were two artists involved,
then a few others decided to take part. As a result we’ve did about 6-8
remixes but most stayed on our hard drives. But now four remixes by Gipa,
Cubic, Nuts Gives Power and Alexander Chereshnev are available for sale
among other good tracks. Mr. Montoya has just released his album under his
main alias ‘The Incmplete Orchestra’. You’re welcome to listen and buy it
if you like. Coruscate is also very active CC-movement supporter who
posted lot of clean, top notch acapellas and allows everyone to use them
in their commercial productions.

So this is how you can pay him back the favor: 23 hip-hop tunes for just $5.

HOW TO CHANGE BPM & KEY IN SOUNDTRACK PRO 3
by matt on Nov.16, 2009, under Elevation, TUTORIALS
Producers keep mentioning that they are having a hard time adjusting to the new interface of Soundtrack Pro 3 by Apple.
It used to be so easy to change the Tempo (BPM) and the Key. There was a nice dock interface very similar to Garageband that clearly showed your Key signatures and what Tempo your project was. If you wanted to change it, you would just click on them to adjust.
With the latest release of Soundtrack Pro 3 there are two ways of adjusting your Tempo and Key signatures.
One of the ways is to go into the preference panel under ‘ File ‘ in the top menu links and adjust your project. ( This would make your settings a default every time you wanted to start a new project, it would always be in the same Key and same Tempo). No good (at least not for us).
We at Soundtrackloops.com like to hear what our loops sound like in all the different Keys after Acidized and Apple Looping them to assure the best quality and to make sure you, the end user, are receiving properly formatted loop files from us. We also like the ability to adjust our Key and Tempo when creating a demo, song, or soundtrack to a iMovie or YouTube video, and also hear the results instantaneously.
So we set out to make a tutorial as easy and a painless as possible with images so you can understand quickly and get to making your next score at what ever Tempo and Key you want it to be at. Read the contents below to find out how you can do this on your own
Step one – Open Soundtrack Pro 3.
Step two – Locate your Window drop down in your tool bar at the very top.
Step three – Scroll down to your Tabs menu.
Step four – Move your cursor to the right so the Tabs menu opens up and you see Project Properties, highlight and click to enable.
Step five – Your Project Properties should now be in plain sight.
Step six – Now that you can see your project properties. You will first see your projects title, description, artist, copyright, genre and other information which you can edit. Now use the scroll bar to scroll to the bottom to find your current projects Tempo and Key signature it is in. ( I found default was the Key signature of G and Tempo at 120)
Step seven – Now adjust your Tempo to what ever BMP (beats per minute) you would like.
Step eight – You will now want to highlight your Key signature to adjust what Key you will want you song to sound like. ( a menu should show once clicked)
Step nine – One thing we like is the ability to put your projects menu where it is easily accessible. All you need to do is grab the Project Tab and drag to any of your viewing layout panes.
We like ours by our loop browser (as shown below)
There you have it. Easy as a bass beat pie.. feel free to comment or share any of your tutorials and or tips
