Re: Going all analog synths suggestions

I can confirm .. the Hydrasynth is one of the greatest synths around (at any price).

Re: To upgrade or not?

At some point you'll want to upgrade to Apple Silicon, it runs beautifully. I don't personally like Logic but some people love it, try a demo if you can. Garage band is a cut down version so that would get you used to the workflow. If you don't have the budget for a new setup and you're doing fine o...

Re: When not to oversample?

Some plugins (and metering) do the up-down sampling automatically, but many don't. This is what I find to be the difficult part. Some plugins don't, some do (and may mention it somewhere), others hide it in a settings menu and some display it proudly on the main GUI! Generally oversampling adds lat...

Re: Epic sells Bandcamp to Songtradr, layoffs ensue

Huge blow for the independent music scene. It feels like every time a good platform for music establishes itself venture capitalists move in and gut it.

Re: All Moog

I found my Voyager a funny instrument, it sort of sounded fine, but there was something I couldn’t put my finger on, plus the knobs didn’t memorise their position, analogue style, I thought that would be fine, but it’s what made me sell it in the end, the sound wasn’t enough to make me keep it. It ...

Re: Mac Pro Cheesegrater - Recommend?

Is there any reason to stick to Intel? Apple Silicon will run rings around archaic Intel setups no matter how much you upgrade it.

Re: Your Recommended FireWire Adaptor Cards

Firewire has not been supported since Windows 10 came out in 2015 and the last post here was 2 years ago. Time to let this topic sink into the abyss?

Re: Sound on Sound magazine no longer catering for old subscribers

If the heavyweight SoS names are in favour of what this wreck of an issue did for the magazines credibility - let alone the experts, then I accept defeat and will duck out. Please do. This is by some measure the most pathetic thread ever made on this forum. Sexist, reductionist crap that belongs in...

Re: Kurzweil V.A.S.T. but unloved

I think the real problem with VAST is it doesn't really sound that good. Way too much aliasing, excruciatingly fiddly to program, not really capable of emulating analogue convincingly or doing anything particularly spectacular in the digital domain. The sound design on the patches is also very vanil...

Re: delta 1010 windows 10

Damn people still using the Delta 1010? I was 16 when I was using this thing! To be fair it was always rock solid and sounded decent to my untrained ears.

UAD have finally killed the archaic DSP faff. Sell the cards before they are worth zero.

We all know that, that’s not to say it’s "automatically" a good thing, personally, I’d like to wipe them from the face of the planet.

If computers didn't exist you wouldn't be able to enlighten us everyday with your positive, inspirational posts.
