What’s the Deal With Disruptive Marketing and Should I Be a Disruptor?

How to Make Ambient Soundscapes with Eventide’s UltraTap Pedal | PBLA Tutorial


In this tutorial, Sweatson Klank, the LA beat scene legend and PBLA lecturer, shows how you can make ethereal and ambient soundscapes using Eventide’s effects pedals.

Eventide’s intuitive range of hardware pedals is a must to try for any musician looking to experiment with their sounds. Whilst great to use in the studio, these are perfect for live performances and are certain to take your live sets to the next level. In this video, Sweatson Klank focuses mainly on Eventide’s UltratTap Pedal, showing how easy it is to warp and shape your audio.

At Point Blank Los Angeles, we can teach you the ins and outs of how hardware like this works – as well as help you get to grips with software plugins and DAWs such as Ableton Live, Logic Pro and GarageBand. If you’re keen to study with us in LA or online, you can find out more about our LA-based courses here.

According to Eventide’s website, “UltraTap is a unique multi-tap delay effects pedal perfect for staccato leads, swelling chords, and other evolving effects — everything from reversed reverbs to the sound of ripping it up in the Grand Canyon! Think of UltraTap as the mother of all Echoplexes and you won’t be too far off. That’s basically how it operates but with the flexibility to add as many ‘tape heads’ as you want and expressively control their positions and levels.

If you’d like to ask a question or talk to one of our LA-based advisors about the events or any of our courses, please contact us at (323) 594-8740.

Cheat Codes Try Their Hand At Country With New Jimmie Allen Collab Ahead Of Full Album Release

Cheat Codes & Jimmie Allen

Multi-Platinum trio Cheat Codes are making the trek into the country music scene with their debut country album, One Night in Nashville – Presented by the Cheat Codes, available on Jan. 27, 2023.

Coming off of their last single with Russell Dickerson, the album’s next release, “Lose You,” features country superstar Jimmie Allen.

“I’ve been a fan of Cheat Codes for a while,” Allen explains. “They did a song with my friends Lee Brice and Lindsay Ell, and the co-writers of ‘Lose You’ are friends of mine–Nick Bailey and Levon Grey. Man, I get to work with Cheat Codes and do a song written by two of my friends? I’m all about it! We’re just glad for the song to be out for the world to hear it.”

After many albums in the EDM, pop and rock genres, the upcoming project signals a further journey into their signature genre bending. Having each been influenced early on in their lives by country music to some degree, the trio knew country was their next step after a trip to Nashville, when it all started to come together.

What followed was a special song with Lee Brice and Lindsay Ell and an invitation to play with them at Stagecoach 2022. From there, collaborations started to happen and the official album was born.

“We’ve always wanted to be able to experiment, push the envelope, and blur the lines between different types of music,” the band shares. “Going to Nashville after us making one country song turned into us wanting to make an entire album with country artists. We knew it was a different world musically from the one we lived in but we knew we wanted to be a part of it.”

One Night in Nashville – Presented by the Cheat Codes Track List:
Cheat Codes x Little Big Town x Bryn Christopher – Never Loved You Again
Cheat Codes x Lee Brice x Lindsay Ell- How do you Love
Cheat Codes x Jimmie Allen – Lose You
