The charity is the only baby hospice in the UK, providing palliative, respite and end-of-life care to children aged 0-5 who are living with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions. After recently having their funding cut, they only have 30 days to raise the £5 million they need to keep their doors open.
“We were recently made aware of the sad news, Zoe’s Place (The UK’s only baby hospice charity) would be closing down unless substantial funds could be raised,“ CamelPhat said in a statement. “The Charity itself does incredible work with families and children right across Liverpool & beyond.

“It’s nicer to be in the world as opposed to in some room with no natural light”: Why Fred again.. prefers writing outside of the studioFred Again.. is likelier to be found beavering away on new music in a cafe than in a studio.
The producer, real name Fred Gibson, gave a rare interview to the legendary YouTube veteran Nardwuar – “one of my absolute heroes” – where they had an in-depth chat about his life in music. He admits that he favours writing in places besides studios as he finds a changing environment more creatively stimulating.

READ MORE: Sample libraries are here to stay – so why do some producers still find their use illegitimate?

“There was a coffee shop in central [London],” he says of one of his favourite spots to work. “They’d bring out the extension cord, and I got too comfy to the point where I was plugging in interfaces and a mic… It’s nicer to be in the world as opposed to in some closed off, no natural light room.

“I think the reason why I like writing in places that aren’t studios and out in the world is because you get this constant collage of humanity,” he continues. “This thing just walking by, it’s always moving and changing… I think it just keeps your brain alive and moving versus gradually getting stiller and stiller in the vacuum of a dark room.”
Gibson later discusses his frequent collaborator Four Tet, but more specifically in reference to his former post-rock band Fridge. “I think he’s got this very exploratory, childlike mindset, which makes everything he does have this kind of through line to me,” Gibson says. “I think he could do 20 different bands and it would all have the same sort of Kieren-ness to me.”
He also touches on his work with Brian Eno, who recently introduced him to Underworld. Gibson went to catch their recent show at London’s Alexandra Palace with Skrillex, saying: “Sonny walked in and was like ‘This is the rarest crowd dynamic I’ve seen in years’. Phoneless, present, in it, it was all feeling loose in the best possible way.”

Meet Transit 2, Baby Audio’s new and improved transition and motion tool made in collaboration with Andrew HuangIn partnership with Baby Audio.
Baby Audio has launched Transit 2, the highly anticipated sequel to Transit, the sophisticated transition and motion tool developed in partnership with producer and influencer Andrew Huang.
Among its upgrades are four additional motion modes, 10 new effects modules and a host of workflow improvements approved by Huang himself.

Like the first Transit, Transit 2 features Macro, which allows you to sweep all linked parameters from any combination of chosen effects blocks to create easy risers, washouts, filter sweeps and more. Naturally, Macro can also be automated within your DAW.
Also making a return is its Sequencer, which allows you to set motion effects into action at precise points in your arrangement by aligning with your DAW’s grid.
First among the new modes is Follower, which makes linked parameters react to the intensity of the incoming audio so they move “dynamically” with your mix. With compressor-like controls, you can set the range of motion, sensitivity of detection and attack and release time to finetune how much the parameters react to the audio.
“Follower mode turns Transit 2 into the ultimate envelope-controlled multiFX, adding dynamic control to any linked parameter,” says Baby Audio.

Next up is an LFO mode, which enables you to sweep linked parameters back and forth with familiar waveshapes including Sine, Triangle, Saw and Square. You can either sync the LFO to the host tempo with divisions from 1/64th note to 8 bars or even set it freely in Hz.
Transit 2 users also gain access to a Gate mode, which allows you to trigger tempo-synced transitions with a click – with a Pendulum option to sweep the transition from minimum to maximum and back again over the selected duration – as well as a Sidechain, which responds to the dynamics of a different source signal than the input being fed into Transit 2.
And if four new motion modes wasn’t enough, Transit 2 comes loaded with 10 new effects modules:

Loop: For stutter and repeat FX

Reverser: Tempo-synced playback reverser with speed settings

Warp: Two-in-one pitch shifter and time stretcher

Retroverb: Alternative to Transit’s primary reverb, based on early digital FDN reverb techniques from the ‘80s

Mod Filter: Stereo filter bank with multiple filters

Compressor: Traditional downwards compressor

Pitch+: Pitch shifter with a tempo-syncable LFO

Speaker: Transistor radio/lo-fi emulation

Analog Chorus: Alternative to Transit’s primary chorus effect

EQ: Three-band EQ

Transit 2 also comes with 838 curated presets by Andrew Huang and other sound designers including Venus Theory, Zardonic and more. Presets from Transit 1 are also included.
Transit 2 is available now for $79 – existing Transit users can upgrade for just $29 – and runs as a VST, VST3, AU and AAX plugin on MacOS and Windows.
