Gear and Techniques would be the best place unless it's more of a user review

Wed Jul 17, 2024 1:23 am

It's far from worthless but you'll find a number of online listings at silly prices that haven't sold. A Jupiter 6 which needed repair sold on ebay recently for £2,595 although it appears to have been re-listed and sold for £3,100. Read into that what you will. There is a market for them. However th...

The mentions of Hugh in the manual for the UA6176 refer to his review of the 1176LN in June 2001, which can be found here.

I know you cannot use two USB AIs for audio in Windows but I pretty sure you can run 2 MIDI interfaces. Yes, you can use multiple MIDI interfaces on Windows. I use two ESI M8U eX MIDI interfaces with 16 DIN ports on each. I dont know if you can use two of the same thing at the same time [same drive...

This was another good listen and useful too. Thank you chaps!

I'd echo Arpy's recommendation for the Hydrasynth Desktop. The same engine as the original Hydrasynth has, a small footprint, sounds amazing and in terms of bang for the buck you'll struggle to find better.

I've been listening to this while working during the afternoon. It's lovely

Tue Jul 09, 2024 11:42 pm

Oh, I didn't get a notification either. I've just grabbed it - thanks for the heads-up

I'm not surprised they've released the update though, they seem to me to be a company who genuinely care about their users as well as their instruments!

That's really impressive! What a superb patch

Tue Jul 09, 2024 2:22 pm

Very interesting! I read an article a while back which speculated about the possibility of audio recordings being unintentionally encoded in the grooves of ancient pottery as it was being made on the wheel. I very much doubt it would be a common thing, even if possible, but the prospect of a fragmen...

The product page lists compatibility as being from Windows XP to Windows 10 only and the latest driver available is V1.37.5 (Win 10). Unless someone has a hack or other workaround you may have to consider getting a newer interface.

A fantastic podcast, I very much enjoyed it. Thank you to all involved, especially Tom!

I seem to recall the questions are required to define it as a competition. Without these it's technically a raffle as no skill is required and there are peculiar legal/financial implications for this. I'm sure the people at SOS can clarify this and I'm happy to be proven wrong. I refer the honourab...

Moving Readers Ads into the forum is a change to the SOS way of doing t...

The nature of the arrangement (orchestra / choral etc.) seems less important to me than the intention of the artist here. "Sometimes, bright daggers cut my veins" is a perfectly valid lyric and a lot tamer than many. It puts me in mind of NiN's 'Hurt' (famously covered by Johnny Cash), whi...

Yes I've been getting it for the last couple of hours too!

In my view it's all about context. There are plenty of tracks out there that use profanity gratuitously and that doesn't work for me but I've written two songs (neither released) which use the 'F' word. Both are about 'spiky' things in life. I searched long and hard for alternatives but ended up lea...

I'd be inclined to go for Reaper . Cross platform, free/cheap/very reasonable depending on the uses to which it's put (all of which are done on an honour system), a lot of plugins that don't look pretty but work well, and I've seen Martin W. do amazing things with it! It does a few things slightly d...

Part of me thinks that the cumulative effect of using these in place of plasterboard screws throughout an entire building should have some benficial effect. Then again in reality it'll be what Hugh brought up combined with a bunch of shortcuts by builders and the elusive "hmm, doesn't seem to w...

Thu Jun 20, 2024 10:49 pm

I have the opposite problem. I've got a lot of mono WAV files that are the L and R sides of stereo recordings (ie: using 2 mono channels on a desk to record a stereo signal) and I'd dearly love to combine those into half the number of stereo WAV files. i think Wave Agent can do this. https://www.sou...
