MISS BRASS PICKS: Sugar Loaf - Kozee
San Francisco is a place that expels creativity into the air. The city has more musical claims and development than most places. San Francisco is beautiful and also from SF is Kozee, the talented producer under Badman Press, Badman Digital, and the Hot n Heavy label. With mellow and finely tuned drums and samples, Kozee favors the more chilled and dance floor friendly sound. Her songs sometimes are poetry, sometimes filth, but no matter what she works on, her goal to "make people happy" is often if not always achieved.

Tomba is an Israeli artist with a taste for hard-hitting, metal inspired melodies. A movie buff and an engineering student at that, Tomba blends his love for structures and movies in many of his tracks. With a wide range of tracks that will destroy weak speakers, Tomba is surely another All-Star part of the sudden surge of Israeli musicians. Another few more talented artists and Israel might give certain places a run for its claims of most talented dubstep-musicians per capita.

GEAR BOX: TC HELICON VoiceTone Synth UGH!!! JUST BOUGHT ONE
NEW VOCAL ADDITION TO MY GEAR BOX SO I'M POSTING PICS SPECS & VIDEO CHECK IT!!!
New Features in version 1.1
Chromatic mode allows complete vocal freedom with HardTune and voice-to-synth vocoder
Natural pitch correction styles available with HardTune block
Improved instrument vocoder presets for use by guitarist singers
Significantly lower lead voice latency
Improved megaphone styles
MIDI improvements over USB including patch change and channel select for those integrating Synth into their computer-centric electronic music setup.
User interface fixes and improvements
HardTune
The jagged, stair-stepped vocal sound of key-based hard tuning is everywhere in contemporary R&B, Hip Hop and Electronica. This feature has eluded the majority of performing musicians until VoiceTone Synth came along. Now musicians can produce this effect live by simply recalling a preset and hitting the ‘On’ button. Easy key input methods include auto-instrument sensing or pushbuttons with a clear display of the current key. Other features of the HardTune effect include dry voice mixing, octave shift and character modification.
Vocoder
The vocoder in VoiceTone Synth is called 'Massive-Band' for a reason. It effectively scales resolution from ultra-clearly-enunciated Robot voices to the sound of the classic, analog low-band-count vocoders we all know and love. The benefit is that, while typical vocoders require a lot of pre-processing like distortion and EQ to hear the effect properly, with the VoiceTone Synth vocoder effect you can input signals such as clean acoustic guitar and vocode perfectly for sounds that until now have been impossible to achieve.
Voice-controlled Synth
The Vocoder also features a voice-controlled synth mode – considered by many as the Holy Grail for vocoding. Prior to VoiceTone Synth, vocoding required your voice (the exciter), and an instrument input (the carrier) to make cool vocoded sounds. Of course VoiceTone Synth supports the dual input method, but for artists who don't have another instrument or don't play one, VoiceTone Synth can generate a synth part directly from your vocal and vocode that. The result? Generated vocoder parts with one input: your voice.
