We got together with DJ Shine in his Toronto studio to talk about how he uses Liquid Rhythm on stage and in his productions! Check it out: Jason ‘DJ Shine’ Spanu Producer + Remixer + Musician + Programmer From the early 90’s heyday of Toronto’s techno scene through to his current constant touring as a band member and Ableton programmer for Nelly Furtado, Frank Ocean and more recently Broken Bells,…
Bobby: Wait! Are you using Liquid Rhythm to control pitched percussion? Are you crazy? Tommy: Yes, Bobby. Yes I am. …and one of my favourite things to do with Liquid Rhythm is use it feed MIDI to other great 3rd party plugins. Take this beat I made using AAS’ Chromaphone: Bobby: Wow, Tommy. That’s pretty neat! Tommy: Yup! With the Max for Live patch for Liquid Rhythm, you can easily…
Walking into DJ Shine’s Toronto studio was sort of like walking into Long & McQuade or Moog Audio for the first time. He has such an impressive collection of sweet gear, and more importantly, he knows how to use it. All of it. Being both an electronic musician and a programmer (because aren’t we all), Shine is pretty handy with solving his own workflow issues. He just builds custom digital…
I’ve used Liquid Rhythm to achieve more variation within my beats in some of the songs and probably will continue to do so. 1) Describe your experience with Liquid Rhythm in one or two sentences. I love using Liquid Rhythm for creating broken beat variations. It’s great for adding all those little humanized hi-hats, breaks, and other drum fills that would otherwise require lots of editing. 2) Who are you,…

PhD Naresh Vempala Jamming We have a great research partnership with Ryerson’s SmartLab, where Naresh is a Post Doctorate researcher. Full disclosure, we work closely with Dr Naresh Vempala, as we are collaboratively exploring the relationships between music, emotion and cognition. Hopefully in the near future, the team will publish a unique emotion prediction Max4Live patch (shh… it’s a secret). We were pleasantly surprised when Naresh linked us his first…
Pushing the Push programming envelope at WaveDNA!!! We are in the final Push (get it!!!) of programming and preparing for our booth at the NAMM show next week in Anaheim, California. Last night things got pretty freaking awesome when the first build of our Ableton Push interface designed for our Max For Live Patch, Liquid Clips, was ready to be tested. And what could be more fitting than to have…

Jason is also known as DJ Shine, he is an Ableton Certified Trainer, and he is an incredibly passionate musician. It is always inspirational when Jason is at the WaveDNA Lab, simply…
