LSS newsletter #23 – June 2009

Hello Everyone!

Lots of news this month. The first, and most obvious, is that the newsletter has changed. We wanted to keep it light and simple, so from now this is going to be just a collection of quick links: ugly maybe, but it loads quick on your mobile phone. Let us know what you think.

===============================================================================

And by the way... we have a BLOG, and that's where most of our links will take you, if you care to follow them.

===============================================================================

Now, let's see if we can save you some money:

1) We have negotiated exclusive discounts from IK Multimedia for all our students. In case you were not familiar with their software, you owe it to yourselves to check their products, from AmpliTube (best guitar amp in software?) to Classic Studio Reverb. We have all of them installed in our studios now, so feel free to come and hear them in action - this invitation is valid for past students too.

2) Have you ever wanted to learn to play guitar, bass, drums, piano, or use your voice like a pro? Don't worry, we haven't decided to jump on that bandwagon: we are still 100% focused on production, but the good people at Tech Music Schools have been teaching instrument techniques for 25 years, and now they offer reduced course fees exclusively to LSS students. In return, LSS extends the same offer to the students of Drumtech, Vocaltech, Keyboardtech, Guitar-X and Bass Guitar-X.
And if you don't feel like taking a full course, you can go for just five hours of one-to-one tuition (and get one hour free, if you are a current or past student with LSS).

===============================================================================

And how about some plugins that cost nothing at all?

This is easy: we have an ever-growing list exactly here. Remember to check once a month for new additions.

===============================================================================

Unmissable:
Hear for yourself the sound of an authentic VOX AC30 guitar amplifier next to 8 software recreations from some of the most expensive (and some free) software recreations on the market. We show you the pictures and you can download the sounds, but can you guess which is which?

===============================================================================

And finally, in more brief LSS news:
1) Our Summer courses are almost full, but there are still places on the course we'll run on Pro Tools and recording techniques.
2) We have a new logo, if you attend a course this Summer or next year you will see it on your new TravelCard wallet
3) More renovation work at our South Campus
