Looks like Behringer's recreation of the Juno-60 is arriving - the JN-80. Looks fine, and sounds accurate from what little I can tell over YT (those 'plastic twang' DCOs sound authentic), though I hope Behringer have properly understood the chorus this time around. Their pedal recreation of the ...

This is an interesting review of polyrhythms on the Impact, and looks at randomisation (per track) about half way through.

Not bad, getting there, just need something with built in patterns, didn’t think the actual sounds were that good, though.

I have no direct experience but Arturia Dumbrute / Drumbrute impact have pattern randomisation options, and it seems they can have different amounts of randomisation on each voice e.g. more on hats, less on kick. Worth looking into. Yes, seems a simple thing, but not that easy, I have one in ...

See he has the Marconi AXBT, he refurbished two of them for me, can’t praise him enough.

I’m trying to respond to my other musical half, he said can we do some random beats? Not as easy as it sounds, with what I’ve got. I’ve got some stuff in Reaktor but most of the elements are too "pitched" I need something with more basic drum type sounds. I need to randomise the actual beat, timing, ...

There would have been minute variations in the cut too, so more uniqueness.

Oh, the recordings we could make with the gear we leave behind. I’ve been testing mikes on my piano - not by any means ideal but I’ve already decided to use my DAV pres into the Zoom recorders. And bought a BG2 to add to the BG1 I started with. At this rate I’ll lose all the benefits of using zoom r ...

I had a Dansette for awhile, there’s something about those old machines that just makes things sound "right" somehow you don’t notice you don’t have any bass, or real top end, it doesn’t seem to make any difference, when I got a Philco valve stereogram with two 8 inch speakers in it I thought I’d di ...

YMMV I've been 100% in the box for some years now. I find it far more convenient, and can get much closer to what I want. I am heading that way, except for my keyboard is a Yamaha MOXF, which works as a controller and synth, and being a sort of virtual VSTi, all the settings are preserved when I ...

If there's a demand for the older sound, true analogue, then maybe they might like my voice, it's old, and it's analogue, mind you, so is a Dansette I loved my Dansette. Not withstanding the fact that it was all I could afford back in 70s I got so used to the sound that when I finally had the ...

I have an urge "just for a change" to get a new Mac, only because my other two Mac's can’t run Logic, I can’t update the OS on them as the software running on them won’t run on later versions required for Logic, so it’s a bit of a awkward situation. If you've already paid for Logic X or later then y ...

I've only ever owned Macs. I bought my first one in the early 90s when they were still unfashionable oddities in the computing world, but as has been mentioned earlier in this thread back then there was no serious alternative to Quark XPress for page layout and that was a Mac-only program. I bought ...

Went down to the studio last night, had a mess around, a piece came out, I wasn’t thinking in the box or out the box, I was just enjoying myself, a little voice inside my head was saying "what are you doing? why are you becoming so concerned with how things are plugged in you’re making music what’s t ...

Soundwise, I would be very much interested if you would be able to tell the difference in a blind test. Your analog set-up vs. direct into the box with plug-ins to recreate the set-up. I don't think there will be much in it. I’d be interested in whether I could hear a difference! But, all I know, ...

I'll join in!

(Can I borrow a flag?)

"Can I borrow a flag" I don’t know.

Just to head off potential confusion from Arpangel's 'recommendation'... the Schoeps CCM2 is intended for use very close to the sound source, and is therefore equalised for the direct field. For organ recording the mics are going to be much further out, at or beyond the Critical Distance, and ...

Looks like Apple are "streamlining" cutting back on sales jobs, reason being third party outlets can do the heavy lifting. There must be a reason, one I read was because Apple products aren’t flexible enough when it comes to software compatibility, also being tied in to the whole Apple ecosystem. ...

As long as you get what "you" want that’s the main thing.

What's interesting is that I'm not thinking as much, I'm quite contented to just "be"

None of us are or will be in control of any of the outcomes.

That's undoubtable.

I'd do a custom paint job, plus, it'll be unique to you.

I do hope they recover, if it wasn't for their software whole albums of mine wouldn't exist, it's easy to moan and forget about the good times in these cases.

There is a lot talked about a particular sound, that some records have, some labels, artists, it's often thought about as a certain sound from a particular time, of the equipment. I think it's to do with a lot of things, not just one aspect. When I tried going entirely in the box it didn't work for ...

I have Komplete, and would definitely miss it, however, on the occasions when I've had to deal with NI it hasn't been smooth, its a bit like dealing with someone on the other side of the universe who doesn't quite understand what you're talking about, and their internet support is nothing short of ...

I say again, this is exactly the type of situation where we would reach for the CCM 2's, if it wasn't solvable by placement.
