I’m still waiting for the NEW Atari to reappear! . As for faff - You would just be switching to Mac Faff. It is an inspiration killer on any platform. . For me any mac issues I have had have been common enough that there has been a youtube that shows how to quickly and successfully fix it and get b ...

while being immersively recorded!

I’m a big fan of what I affectionately refer to as my crap mics. Instant personality! Either alone or mixed in with a good quality mic recording the same source.

I have used the Quneo which worked better than I thought it would and that little Roli 2 octave lighted keyboard which I had low expectations of but it worked great either wired or bluetooth. I have also used the BopPad but not for live playing, but it should work fine once set up with the app. I ...

Parker Flys come up over here now and then. The asking price is usually around $5k Cdn. I keep telling myself to buy a lottery ticket because - you can’t win if you don’t have a ticket…… har har har.

Tiny bit of history - There was a wonderful composer named David Tudor who created a piece called Rainforest. Numerous suspended objects in a room or gallery had transducers attached to them and then audio was played through them. The audience walked between the objects. Back at university we ...

For years I lusted after a Variax electric and acoustic. I remember the original electric (the 400?) had a chunky neck I didn’t like. The models that came after were too expensive for me at the time. Sorry to hear about their end of life. I still like the concept. . My monster fantasy guitar would c ...

I am putting one through some A/B tests and am liking mine so far. I haven’t done enough tests yet on the instruments I play so I’m still “learning” the mics strengths.

Does that give you a haddock?

Berk standards have seriously dropped over the years.

Many, if not most, people will simply tell you that they hear no difference. Having experienced this at an Atmos demo I would suggest the exception is if you play the Atmos and non-Atmos track back to back. And From the creators point of view Atmos gives me spatial options to consider as I write ...

Producers and directors don’t always have the right words to describe music so a new profession should/probably has developed.
Ai Music Wrangler.
You spend your day translating producer speak to music Ai speak.
It’s probably happening in the Ai visual world too.

You’ve literally described my process in Logic. Logic has some new tools to make it go quicker but it’s the same idea. . The is another option - learn to play better and practice every day but ——- naw! The life clock is ticking and I can get my ideas close enough for the digital massage into a master ...

Except some people organize those sounds in ways I’m not interested in anymore and give a pass to as life, especially now, is short. Back in my middle years I would say bring it all on!

Cars with cloth interiors during low humidity winter. I would exit the car and get a most unpleasant shock through my big toe!

I accept that working with gear that inspires is part of our process. But if one already has some good to great gear then isn’t continuing this quest a good excuse for not spending the time making music? That being asked - I often find a new something inspires differently than what I already have i ...

I’d go back and have a second look at the bling machine! You need to try harder for the proper justification!! I mean, come on, blinky meter lights!! (I will admit that I have a partially broken frequency meter running all the time just because blinky lights are fun. They also serve to take my focus ...

I’ve been reading SOS reviews on both plugins. I like to idea that they can be used to show areas in a mix that might need more attention. (When the plugins are turned off) If anyone has both I would love to know your thoughts. I’m about to try the Soothe demo, I already have Gullfoss. Soothe is not ...

Gosh - new word!
the stuff one leawns awound hewe!

Mac biased but - The more time I spend with Resolve, the more youtubes I watch on it, the more I find it is the right choice for me. It’s deep but it accepts you where ever you are on your visual path. (After you get the basic concepts down, which I found easy to do as the companies own tutorials a ...

Cranked really LOUD!

All things in moderation including moderation

Unless the crystal bowls are really really large there won’t be a lot of bottom end..
Just re-read the original post - some must be large to hit those notes.
A bit of jealousy here!

I put a piezo pickup under a few chopsticks with rubber bands across them and, viola, an out of tune but cool sounding plucked bass!
Ugly as heck but suited the track (or so I keep telling myself!)
