->Introduction to Native Instrument's Reaktor<-
We're proud to welcome Kent Williams (Chaircrusher / Cornwarning Records,
Iowa City, IA) to Metatrack Studios for a special seminar in Native
Instrument's Reaktor. This incredible program has been used heavily by
some of the most cutting edge musicians such as Surgeon, Mark Bell
(producer for Depeche Mode, Bjork, LFO, Etc...), Monolake, Richard Devine,
Oliver Lieb, and numerous others. No previous experience in Reaktor is
required (2 hours)
"REAKTOR is a complete sound design studio with almost endless
possibilities for producing and performing music. REAKTOR can be used as a
synthesizer, sampler, effects processor, groovebox, and much more. High
quality signal processing algorithms and the 32-bit floating point
precision of REAKTOR's audio engine guarantees sound quality that meets
the highest demands. The steadily growing REAKTOR libraries contain
hundreds of different instruments with thousands of presets for a wide
range of sound generation and audio processing applications. All
instruments can be modified freely, and even building own instruments from
scratch is possible."

->Running an Indie Music Label<-
Stewart Walker needs no introduction. Releasing music on prestigious
electronic labels (Force Inc, Minus, Tresor, Mille Plateaux) Stewart is
one of the most highly acclaimed techno producers on the scene today. He
has recently started his own label, Persona records, releasing EPs from
some of today's most exciting producers like Fred Giannelli, Greg Shiff,
and Geoff White. Saturday afternoon Kent and Stewart will discuss the
basics, challenges, and lessons learned about starting and running an
independent electronic music label. They'll also be taking questions and
giving advice on how to start your own label. (1 hour)
