Otherwise HOW could people stand the distortions and other shortcomings of tape and vinyl?

It's easy when the MUSIC is good to listen through the shortcomings of any recording/playback format and relate to the emotion.

Hi Ben Nice! Out of interest, how come you use www.audio.com for audio hosting instead of something like SoundCloud, where others might, just might come across your compositions? Ian G. Thx, Ian! Good question -- I use Band Camp as my main landing page for my music these days https ...

I use www.4kdownload.com - it's cross-platform and has a free version, but I use the paid version (being a business).

Incoming!!! Spot on Dave.

Hi Ben

Looks like you've already achieved your target but the more £$€ the better.

Even Marques Brownlee reckons the Mac mini base model at 599 pounds or dollars, is the best value computer in the world at the moment.

Brightcove.com is a great video hosting service that SOS almost went with, but it may be too pricey. Eddie, surely Vimeo is your best solution? You've used them before... They give you the option of Private links or Public. I knew about Unlisted Videos on YouTube but in honesty had not realised they ...

Wow :shocked: that was unexpected. It's not a standard format though so cheap upgrades are not going to be easy to find. But things will change. These M4 Mac minis will fly off the shelf, especially in the base model and if you can enlarge the SSD from 256 GB to something like one or 2 TB using ...

Let me once again mention that the RC-505 *is* like having 4 extra looper pedals to hand (or foot), but all in sync - and without having to hit the controls on the beat. This Roland page has a nifty video on it that reveals just what Elf is saying. https://www.roland.com/uk/blog/boss-rc-505-loop ...

Me too!

Just a synthesiser category is OK, don’t think we need a dedicated Eurorack Modular one, as there aren’t that many into it here. ???? :-) You are dead wrong there, Arpangel. Google Analytics tells us how many Views/reads the Modular articles get on the website, and if only 1% of them used a Readers ...

Gilbeys Gin, I hope?

We don't like to ask members to cough up, but it is becoming increasingly harder to swallow all the running costs of this website, and especially the SOS Forum. We know from the analytics each month that the Forum especially has hundreds of thousands of lurkers who come read the fabulous sound ...

I fed the URL for Mornington into my MacGPT app (intending to create a knowledge 'brain') but it failed - then realised it's in Musicians' Lounge behind the access firewall.

Came across this YouTube video - worth a watch:

His suggestion at the end to Apple is a sensible one IMHO.

I love watching those YT vids of the American guitarist/singer in Las Vegas on the Strip, creating backings on his looper for a song the audience suggests, then some random(?) lady/bloke with utterly superb voices steps out of the crowd to perform the vocal -- and typically 'knocks it out the park ...

While I'm here, which looper did that talented lady use to create songs on the fly? This was years ago and being almost as old as 'political dignity' my memory's a bit dodgy nowadays. Ed, are you referring to these two SOS videos about the TC VoiceLive per chance? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v ...

As part of that - newly being able to increase and decrease the volume of little bits of audio (in prep for routing to a compressor, e.g.) is awesome. Strange to see Avid get to something first :lol: In seriousness, it's an incredibly useful function to have -- I can't remember a time before Clip ...

Thanks Sam. Hadn't considered using 2 Loopers at the same time... very interesting concept for mayhem. :D Yes, appreciate Trio+ is more of a Band-In-A-Box pedal - but that's what appeals to me at the moment. I need stimulation to get my juices going. My creativity is more shrivelled and prune-like ...

I'm increasingly drawn to buying myself a Looper, having watched the YouTube videos about the seemingly fabulous Digitech TRIO+ . It looks a superb device for helping me get ideas going from scratch, when I have a melody line or guitar riff in gestation period. Love to know what Looper members use ...

They haven't made it sound good - it was good to start with. Precisely! All about the song and arrangement structure - love the Question (vocoder) and Answer (synth motif) style halfway through. It's not for no good reason that Kratfwerk's music influenced so many electronic musicians. [Boring as f ...
