Epic!

Cool article on the Hammond:

I used to use Hammonds in dem days but I did stumble upon a clonish type of company - Voce, and I decided to buy their V4 which turned out to be quite usable.

Does anyone know how to turn off the AI summary nonsense when searching on Google? I dont want or need that waste of electricity giving me mindless Web scrapings. I was happy with a simple list of broadly relevant sites from which I can choose the more intelligent options. That Gemini nonsense, on ...

I use Dexed, which is free and very useful.

I get the following when I hit their site:

I believe they have called it a day, but short of being epically wrong, can someone verify if this is the case?

I'm from the school of thought: clean in, coloured out.

If you're down with the whole NS10 thing then grab these: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/375220126501?var=0&&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&siteid=3&campid=5339071580&customid=jkp_Cj0KCQjwxJvBBhDuARIsAGUgNfhsLR7xyaZ1ful5kH_hONqMxDg4ief5Cp141UrwQP75KKMi6F_JRS8aAuKJEALw_wcB&toolid=10001&mkevt=1&gad ...

All wowds mattew.

Yeah, my bad..

Alex baby, give the collab forums a hit. Loads of shredders there that will drop a riff for you for. Thanks, Zuke! That will save time for sure ... I'll consider that further! :) :) Offer them some spandex leotards and they'll do anything. Amazon has a good deal on several styles that are popular ...

Used. One less-than-careful owner... how much are you hoping to raise, exactly?

Not sure what the going rate is for a used Armenian lung.

I'll get back to you.

Cool review Hugh.

Ah well, lung....ebay it is then...

I used to use Musiclab's RealGuitar and now Rob's RG.

I'm sure there are others out there.

Just re-read the original post - some must be large to hit those notes.
A bit of jealousy here!

It's mainly for the first octave of the Himalayan bowls she has.

Thanks a heap folks. MY student decided to try the OM1s. I'll keep you posted.

Yep, as always, the room is critical.

Thanks buddy.

Thanks for the detailed response Hugh. We looked at Soyus 013 which a bowl recording engineer she follows recommended it. We also eyed the MKH8020, which looked good on spec but I have no experience with them. AT4022 looked ok and the NT55s seemed to be useful, the AT5045 but I wasn't convinced as ...

I have a student who has a variety of crystal and Himalayan bowls. She currently has a Rode NT2A for recording but wants a better combo setup to capture the detail and low end (some of her Himalayan bowls are C1, F1 etc..) of the bowls. I think a combo of omni plus cardioid would be great but I am ...

DAWs are very personal. Download the trials and spin them and see which grabs you. Alternatively, I have a few students who are strict hardware advocates and don't want to go down the mouse click route. Great hardware options out there as well if that's what floats your boat. If you need someone to ...

Sam reviewed both, so I'm sure he'll offer some Jedi advice, but I don't see them as like for like, TBH.

Very useful feature.

Talking of eager to buy... if you want something to amuse/scare/horrify you, check out the Jan/Feb 1980 issue: https://www.worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Audio/Archive-Recording-Engineer/80s/Recording-1980-02.pdf Pages 30 and 31 are also very interesting (to me at least). I wonder how you get ...
