We recently have started to complete a very significant do it yourself series here at the studio. We recently purchased during Black Friday, a Blue Yeti Microphone. It sounds absolutely amazing and it fits perfectly with our setup. However, like all sensitive, pro quality mic’s, it needs a shock mount. We did this video on […]

This article will seem out of topic and not necessarily in keeping with the non-partisan position we have taken here at Bunker 8. But we have to say that fake news on Facebook is the real thing and it needs to be dealt with, not ignored. I am the exception as it would seem when […]
We have had our moniker, Bunker 8 Digital Labs for as long as the audio sampler has been in existence, so we thought it fitting that we give the history of audio sampling through Bunker 8.

Beyond the intellectual commitment to understand it lies the journey to find it, to discover it, to give it true meaning which is the meaning you derive for yourself. Years ago I attended the Amsterdam Dance Event, […]
It is entirely possible that it is coincidence. But it would be a remarkable one at that. ‘We Don’t Steal Music Says Skrillex and Justin Bieber.’ Well, that was said. “Like most artists that sample music, Bieber could have licensed my song for use in ‘Sorry.’ But he chose not to contact me,” Dienel, who […]
Maschine Studio: Using it in the Studio. This is long overdue, but Bunker 8 is looking back at one of their most prized pieces of kit, Native Instruments Maschine Studio. We are in the process of working through an deeper vendor relationship with Native Instruments. For those who are unaware, we were one of the first […]
