[This just in from PreSonus Artist Patrik Mata of KOMMUNITY FK!]

Hello PreSonus!

I wanted to share this recent interview and the debut of one of the new tracks from my band’s upcoming new LP, Thee Image & Thee Myth. The track is entitled “Thee New Tribe.”
I also mention my association as an endorsed Artist with Presonus & how your company saved my career as a composer & multi-instrumentalist. Every track on the new LP was created in Studio One v2.6, as all of my work has been since the software’s original inception.

You can hear a full interview from DJ Cruel Britannia’s Fadeout podcast below. Interview starts at 36:18.

May you have a warm wonderful happy holiday,

Patrik Mata/Presonus Artist

PreSonus was proud to be a part of the 2013 ASCAP Songwriters Retreat, held September 25^th to October 4^th at the 14th-century Château Marouatte in the Dordogne region of France—an inspiring place for the lyrically inclined.

And that’s the point. ASCAP has designed this retreat to bring out the best in talented writers. This year’s 30+ participants were divided into different groups, every day, to write and record, keeping collaborative spirits fresh and healthy. At the end of the session, attendees return home with renewed artistic vigor, their hearts and hard drives full of song.

In fact, a dozen of the songs written at the camp this year are already on hold for major label artists, including The Temper Trap, Kelly Clarkson, Melanie Fiona, Nylo, Jessie Malakouti, and Jon Bellion.

PreSonus was happy to provide a metric heap of equipment to foster the creative process, including:

Small Town Audio Resources in Redway, CA received their new PreSonus StudioLive 32.4.2 AI just in the nick of time for this performance by Grammy-winning reggae superstar Shaggy, pictured below. The mixer ran monitors during his performance at the Mateel Community Center. Having been a PreSonus StudioLive 24.4.2 user, the transition was effortless for engineers Rob Seifert Gage and Jim Fulton.

“For this Shaggy gig,” Rob says, “We chose the new StudioLive 32.4.2AI for its ease of operation and showtime reliability. We need about 12-14 monitor mixes, and it was effortless! In the past, we used two StudioLive 24.4.2s and would link them together, but we weren’t able to record all channels with that setup. With the StudioLive 32.4.2.AI, we get all the tracks and more—which is exactly what we were looking for in a desk .”
