Re: The cold reality of synthesizers
Of course, the amazing thing is that modern surgery IS basically wallpapering the hallway through the letter box. If you have testicular cancer, for example, the rather obvious method of access is not used because there's far too much risk of inadvertently spreading the cancer. Instead they go in ...

Re: VHS PCM recorder
Is there nothing you do not know, Hugh? ;-) Oh yes! A heck of a lot. :shifty: The more you know, the more you realise how much you don't know! :think: But I have been learning about pro-audio for 54 years, now. I bought my first Studio Sound magazine in 1971 when I was eleven (and I've still got it ...

Re: Mixer, running out of inputs
I've been thinking about this all night, and despite all the useful info given by folks here, can't come to a conclusion. I know one thing for sure whatever happens, I’m not getting rid of the MixWix, it's too good, I’ve seen it in peoples studios that work the same way as me, it's a natural choice. ...

I suspect Arp' you will have to go for something like that and maybe expand with Ethernet? Dave. So how does that work? I know nothing about all this stuff, what do I plug into the digital mixer to expand it? It's all these "layers" that freak me out regarding digital mixers. And these digital ...

Re: Mixer, running out of inputs
Cheap’s good. Costs less, too. Ha Ha! cheap is preferable! But, Hugh's idea of getting another AH desk, good, but could be as expensive or even more, than getting a bigger desk, a bigger desk being preferable. Theres a 24 input AH desk in readers ads, that’s tempting. My main gripe with a bigger des ...

Re: Kurzweil V.A.S.T. but unloved
totally bogus dude ! :) ------ Value of £500 from 1977 to 2025 " £500 in 1977 is equivalent in purchasing power to about £3,969.99 today, an increase of £3,469.99 over 48 years. The pound had an average inflation rate of 4.41% per year between 1977 and today, producing a cumulative price increase of ...

Re: Mixer, running out of inputs
Buy another identical desk and get someone to make a sidecar out of the input section. No - it doesn't make financial sense when there are probably other alternatives but, if you really like the Mixwizard then it might make sense for the way that you want to work. A bigger A&H desk would be cool, I ...

Re: Mixer, running out of inputs
Simplification is the hardest job. To succeed you have to identify stuff you’re doing that you could do better, or without. Any task that’s focused on your particular skill and talent is doubly difficult, as you can’t “get a man in” to help, or take over. As I approach 70, I’m acutely aware of this. ...

Re: Sequencers
Thanks Elf and yes Tony, that was just to scratch an I've got to try the new gear itch, so thrown together with little thought involved. I'm new to sequencers by the way, always rolled my own phrases previously but I like the potential here, even if only to chance upon ideas for use. My initial ...

Mixer, running out of inputs
This has really become an issue now, I’m noticing limitations when I'm recording with others here, and I'm running out of inputs for effects, among other things. I love my A&H MixWiz 14-4-2, it’s the best mixer I’ve owned, and it's served me well, but I just need more inputs. I'm not a fan of using s ...

Re: Kurzweil V.A.S.T. but unloved
who knows - only Uli & his collegues. I think there is a spectrum of product_availabilites, from the wave to the BCR32. After several years, the Wave is in the shops & the BCR32 is no where to be seen [beta testing July '24 apparently]. As the VCS was seen on a shelf with the Wave, I think its more ...

Re: JMT Synth?
Decided not to go for this, I can do more or less everything that this can do with my modular, and beyond. Great little thing if you haven’t got anything else though.

Re: United Studio Technologies Twin48 mic
I contacted UST and they said they were all tested to be totally silent, This is very common with American made gear - they don't understand that mains electricity runs at a lower frequency in the rest of the world so they skimp on the transformers that they use. They're probably right that it was ...

Sounds like it was made for me then.

That night and day difference will cost you about twenty grand, ...until the Behringer version is released for £350, that is. Possibly that will skew the market for originals too. I personally don’t think it’ll appear, they’ve shelved that one I think, for whatever reason. I don’t think these copies ...

The results are clear. The Kurzweil recreation sounds VASTly inferior to the original and if your ears cannot discern that even from the clips presented then there is absolutely no point in continuing this discussion. You should tell that to the members of PF. After all, they replaced their own ...

Re: The cold reality of synthesizers
I get very different feelings of fun when using my modular rig. It's not huge but it's not small. I find it very cathartic in a way that software synths are not to me. Don't get me wrong I've released way more music using software synths or even hardware non modular synths, but the feeling of ...
