Looks like my album will be out end of next week, probably,

"Little Theatre"

On the BitMapSounds label.

What is this "flow" you talk about? I’m either playing or not, if I’m not playing I’m not recording, I never go back to old ideas, I have two plug-in's that are almost permanently on my screen ReaEQ, and ReaComp, occasionally VintageVerb, I never go hunting for plugs, and when a piece/album is finis ...

In the 1980's a man booked an hour at my studio in Key West to record vocal/ guitar and showed up without a guitar, so I lent him my 1958 Gibson J50. It started out normal enough with regular forgettable lyrical content, but then he started getting loudly excited and red in the face. Then he got ...

I’d go for a ribbon, something like a Beyer 160, would do the job.

I'm not really making any particular point ... just how it seems to me ... I bet you have a modular hi-fi. You might even turn your nose up at an all-in-one hi-fi because they're for cloth-eared consumers. "Oh, I could never get a modular hi-fi to work. The wires, you know." I like my modular ...

The next migration will be back to a PC, or a tape machine if Microsoft continue to carry on like they are. I bought my iMac simply because I was curious, people were telling me "it will change your life, you’ll never look back" yes, it did, change my bank balance, and I was looking back at how l ...

I still don’t get it.

If that’s the case I’m the SOS equivalent of Papa Westray.

Oh no, not another new genre I need to check out! Is it Russian?

Just regular free-improv, if there is such a thing, hang on? there is.

Interesting news item on the radio this morning, apparently AI generated music has to be labelled and described as such, on internet downloads etc.

Forgot, me recording the sound effects for the film Mr Nice Guy, which involved me mic'ing up certain parts of our oven, to simulate a prison door closing.

I suppose an engineers job is to expect anything, I was only an assistant, but did get to experience many things, from recording low flying WW11 fighter planes while laying on a runway, steam engines, to full orchestras and everything in between. Personally my most challenging was a 22 piece Imrov ...

Who is our audience? That's the question isn't it? It most definitely helps if you are able to perform your music at concerts/gigs. The last couple of bands I have been in started off by simply getting in touch with better known gigging bands of a similar genre that we liked and asking for support ...

I have a Novation A-Station, the sounds it’s capable of are very ambiguous, defy explanation, to say it’s an analogue modelling synth is a massive understatement, the sounds it produces, you’d never guess what made them, acoustic, or electronic.

Getting back to the subject of the OP, one of the things that I think we lose sight of as people involved in the production of music, is that to the majority of the general public, music isn't that important. Even in the heyday of popular music most of the time it has been used as background noise ...

I did a bodge, it works.
I drilled a small hole in the pot shaft, fitted a small screw in it, screwed on a little black Doepfer style knob, job done.

I answered, a theoretical physicist so that I could unravel the mystery of time and the block universe and so on. Interesting, how none of the fundamental questions about life, time, the universe, have never been answered, if AI can answer those questions, will God provide a convenient glitch in it ...

I was looking t Chris Carters pedal board, he’s got around three rows of pedals to treat different things, you could do similar and feed each row with a different instrument, a bit of pre-planning could sort out the effects you want to use in each row, the output of each row goes into a mixer, take a ...

Midi is Midi, surely, isn’t the OP talking about the "sounds" themselves?

I'm not convinced... but time will tell. Thankfully, my career and pension don't depend on the outcome! :shifty: :think: On a related note are you thinking of retiring and if so who’s going to be answering technical questions at SOS? Well of course, given my well balanced and supremely logical t ...

ALL present company excepted of course but I cannot lose the feeling that all the worries about AI are stemming from its steady creep up the "intellectual ladder"? Ever since the invention of the power loom, people have been put out of work by machines. "Automation" it was called when I was growing ...

Exactly.

I always keep an eye on Amazon for cheap Berry stuff, this is the lowest I’ve seen for one of these, if any if you are interested, looks like other dealers are matching it by the looks of it. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Behringer-Model-Legendary-Analogue-Synthesizer/dp/B0791T5MLV/ref=sr_1_15?crid=L ...

just like anything else, we only have two choices, no choice and no choice at all. There is an alternative, the question is have we got the guts to take it? you "can" stop "progress" if that’s what you want to call it. Half the world has to wake in the morning and wonder where the next meal is c ...
