Avicii unleashed Penguin on the world with his Essential Mix and an unknown release date. If you really really need to play this out give this reconstruction a download until the real deal hits the streets.

Avicii – Penguin (Prophet of Ninth Dirty Reconstruction)

Looking for a download? Me too. Unfortunately this track won’t be out until Feb 14, so until Valentine’s Day hopefully this cheesy video will hold you over.

How much time do you usually waste to dig up a record or a composition you love? How often do songs you download turn out to be of bad quality? Ever wanted to preview an entire song before you buy it beyond the 30 second previews some online retailers give you? Wouldn’t you like to listen to any tracks, from Deadmau5 to Avicii, and find out interesting facts about bands and artists, from Armin van Buuren to Fatboy Slim, all on one site?

The Swedes are set to release their newest offering in the form of the Electro Houser ‘Number One’. These days, it is hard for me to get past the fact almost every release from the trio as a collective sounds identical. However, this does not change the fact I and almost every other house DJ worldwide will have in their CD wallet at every gig.

By now many have forgotten that Adobe Audition was once the great free tool, CoolEdit. I fondly remember the days of CoolEdit and their ability to morph effects from one setting to another (something Soundforge is barely able to do now). It has been interesting to watch Adobe beef up the program and constantly improve it. I look forward to trying out some of these interesting new features.

From the Adobe Website:
Recording, mixing, editing, and mastering — Adobe® Audition® 3 software is the all-in-one toolset for professional audio production.

Use Adobe Audition 3 to:

• Create your own music
• Record and mix a project
• Produce a radio spot
• Clean up audio for a movie
• Compile and edit a soundtrack

Whatever you do with audio, Adobe Audition 3 software helps you sound your best.

Top features in Adobe Audition 3

VSTi virtual instrument support

Enjoy support for a wider range of virtual instruments. Simply add a MIDI host track to your mix, choose an instrument, and then record new audio in the Sequencer.

Improved multitrack editing

Save time and increase accuracy by editing grouped clips together. Auto-crossfade clips in multitrack view to quickly mix files together. Click-and-drag fade handles on multitrack clips and in the Edit View for faster editing.

Enhanced spectral editing

Make a free-form selection in frequency space with the Effects Paintbrush and apply effects in varying degrees to that selection. Smooth over a selected region to automatically repair clicks, pops, and other noises using the Spot Healing Brush.

Top/Tail Views

Need a quick and easy way to tweak the start and end of a loop or other audio file? The new Top/Tail Views allow you to zoom into the beginning and end of a file so you can quickly add precise fades while keeping the whole file in view.

New effects

Adobe Audition 3 includes new effects such as Convolution Reverb, Analog Delay, Mastering tool, Guitar Suite, and Tube-modeled Compressor.

Superior performance

Get superior performance and take advantage of the new multicore processors. The optimized mix engine allows for more tracks and effects on the same machine, offering more variety and faster processing.
