This unit is two years old? it shouldn’t have valve base corrosion?
Running heaters and stuff on studio mains circuits isn’t a good idea.

The fact is, you wrote this and it made you think about this music, like or dislike, it matters not. I have the same reaction to vacuous pop but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have a place, and my opinions are worth absolutely sod all. I never got a lot of modern art and music, but their comes a time w ...

Brings back memories of my very first modular gig at a music shop in London, I had a Pittsburgh 104 suitcase, consisting of A Harvestman Kermit, Equation Composer, Audio Damage Dub Delay, various Doepfer utilities, that was it, the whole lot put through a Zoom CDR70, it was a mixed bag type of set ...

A nice Midas Venice, M32, or Soundcraft 400B, I’d have if I had room.

He’s the type of person that will polarise, I’ll stop there, there won’t be any "he’s "alright"

Mon Mar 09, 2026 7:54 am

What the Gmome said, get something like a nice old Soundcraft or a Midas, those are going very reasonably now. IMO the Mackie just isn’t worth the aggravation.

Well I suppose that's one way of getting yourself heard "YYYYYYEEEEESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" :D a whisper in your ear - getting heard and being listened to is two different things! This guy has literally changed my life, I’m not going off to make loads of noise, no, he’s been "added" to my com ...

Brings back memories of when I did a few gigs with mine, I found out quite quickly less is more, and multi-function modules we're my friend, things like the Equation Composer.

Thanks all, but I’m giving up, I’m going to just go around the charity shops or just pick up junk from the street, use real objects, after all, I’ve got the mic's, and it may add all sorts of unpredictable studio noises. I also unearthed a Teenage Engineering Pocket Operator in a draw I forgot I had, ...

What is it about the YouTube algorithm that makes everybody look at the camera and start to shout as if we're all as deaf as a post? He shouts because he shouts.

:bouncy: :bouncy: :bouncy: Must admit, I skipped a bit of the middle of the video because it got a bit samey, but otherwise a great bit of kit. It is, the great thing about it is that you can take any signal and completely silence it, it goes beyond just "turning it down" How long is it going to be ...

I used to have some great ethnic percussion stuff, metallophones etc from EMU in a free sample pack, but they died years ago on an old comp. I’d like something similar, don’t mind paying a bit, they need to play on Kontakt. Have you had a look into the Kontakt factory library? Alternatively, do you ...

Fri Mar 06, 2026 7:50 am

Good question, but more importantly, try loosening them while you’re actually playing.

Fri Mar 06, 2026 7:46 am

I’ve got no objection to machines doing all the work, but human beings (myself excluded) always seem to want to do stuff, loads of it, I just don’t understand that, I’m happy just doing nothing, sitting watching the seagulls on the chimneys.

Hugh, sometimes, I’m actually normal. It’s another side of me you rarely see, I don’t show it very often, simply because it’s a bit faded.

MIDI over DIN is fine, why change it?

I can’t listen to any of this without creating an account on both.
What clips I heard weren’t bad.

I had a humming noise in my studio like that once. A DTI box cured it... :bouncy: It didn’t sound as regular and clean as that to me. It sounded like the things I’d be asking to turn off when interviewing people in their homes and offices, such as fridges, air conditioning etc! That’s to say I didn’ ...

I’m not surprised by this. An angle that also worries me is that I don’t want to see films and TV generated by AI, but I’m not going to have much choice about it. fortunately, there is a an enormous 'back-catalog' of film & telly shot on 16 & 35mm film, by actual cameramen, of actual actors, orch ...

A friend is a journalist, she’s not worried about AI threatening "her" job, she’s a critic and is recognised in her profession, respected, and her strength is that film people want to be interviewed by her, no one else, and certainly not AI.

There are some cases where you can’t avoid using hardware, like me, putting hardware compressors across the outputs if my modular and other things to stop them overloading the mixer inputs.
