One of my favorite games of all time…

Gears of War 3 will feature a four-player co-op mode and the introduction of two playable characters–Anya Stroud, who appeared in the first two games as the team’s control officer, and Jace Stratton, a battle-hardened soldier who appears in the comic series and is mentioned in the second game. The game will also feature new weapons, including a double-barreled shotgun and a Pendulum War Era Lancer, with a normal bayonet attached as compared to the chainsaw bayonet featured in Gears 1 and 2, was revealed in the trailer and discussed by Bleszinski. In the June Issue of Game Informer, Epic revealed other new weapons such as an Incendiary Grenade, a new heavy weapon called the Digger Launcher that fires explosive piranha creatures that dig through the ground at high speed before rising up to immolate enemy forces, a new recoilless rifle called the One Shot, that can take down any enemy with a single bullet (most likely to be rare in game).

All right fellas, a couple exclusives before we report live from E3, GRAN TURISMO 5.

This is going to be the 5th edition of the highly acclaimed Gran Turismo “racing simulator” series. Upon first glance at the trailer, this one is sure to be a big seller.

For the first time in the main series, an online mode will be available in the game, with 16 player capability. Both mechanical and external damage have been confirmed, along with interior damage for 170 “premium” cars. Night racing will make a reappearance for GT5, with every course having the option for night racing. Weather effects are also confirmed to be included, although the extent of the implementation is currently unknown. GT5 will be the first Gran Turismo game in the series’ history to display in an optional Stereoscopic-3D resolution.

I do not consider myself a great DJ at all. I have dabble in many aspects of the field for 13 years now. One thing that has always perplexed me and been a big thorn in my side is when you go to mix 2 songs that you know have beats that are easily mixed but for some reason they sound awful together. It didn’t always make sense until one day I read about how many of the best Electronic DJs not only worry about BPM but also the Key in which the song is played.

Years of musical training all made sense at that moment. When someone sings a song off key, like a friends in the car, it sounds terrible. We all have experienced that. So why would it be the same for 2 songs that get mixed together.

Now if most of you are like myself, you don’t have the time to worry about this.

So in comes Yakov Vorobyev and his company Mixed In Key, LLC. A program I have been working with for over a year now.

It’s a pretty simple and straightforward program that can figures out the Temp and Key of every MP3 or WAV file you have. It will then place it’s analysis in the BPM and Comments section of your file and will then come up in any Software program you use. I have tested it with Serato, Traktor and Numark Cue. The video below is a bit chessy but informative.

The purist may get angered by this but as for I am all about spreading this simple process in order to hear more cleaner Mixtapes and Sets while out at the Local Dive! Also, on a side not, think about all the DJ AM/Crooklyn Clan mash ups you can make that will actually sound right together!

It’s supporters are impressive too from Kaskade to Blank & Jones to Deep Dish and Pete Tong. Amazing DJs with amazing talent.

The site explains it all and has great tutorials. There is no need for me to go into detail about how to use. But for a simple investment of $58, your current and future fans will be thanking you and in turn Mr. Vorobyev for this wonderful creation! Check it out now!!!!
