Re: The billionaires’ club

I never understood why people expect to get paid for playing music. Unless of course you're an actual genius or prodigy, the rest of us simply aren't worth much money. I used to chase money but realized it's a lot like collecting dog poo. All you have to do is decide how dirt you want to get when pi...

Re: The billionaires’ club

The streaming services will continue to scam investors while making a hash of royalty payment schemes until the energy to run all those server farms gets too expensive. Which won't be long now.

Re: Do you have a big box of Wall Warts too?

nope. I use console tape and label every one of them when I get new gear. Plus, I keep them always together with their intended device.

I can't read print the size of cockroach footprints.

Re: buying a new audio interface! (need tips)

These days you're spoiled for choice and can hardly go wrong. The Apollo gear is great even without plug ins. Focusrite makes excellent pres as well. I use an aggregate device in Mac using the Focusrite 8PreX and an Apollo 8 which provides more than enough options. RME is beloved in the EU/UK, almos...

Re: Can Neil Young Demand This?

But it's always been this way. Sure, the new media platforms evolve the space a bit, but as far as fake news goes, BBC and NYT are hard to beat. Anyone remember the run up to the Iraq war? I can cite thousands of intentional lies pushed by the hallowed media giants. The silence is deafening. So lies...

Re: "Rare" Boss pedal... How Much?

Good lord. Funny thing, I live in the US and now that I've clicked that link from a UK customer, Reverb thinks I'm in the UK and is pricing everything in pounds lol. Now that's quality programming for ya. Better log off and clear me caches.

Re: Mixes: art or product

Technology, such as it is, also has a hard stop via one mechanism or another and those who've developed "archaic" skills, like farming, carpentry, masonry, knitting, etc. will fare better than those who learn how to use electron microscopes and fly spaceships. I know here at SOS there is l...

Re: Do I really need update Windows so much?

The changing of minds is unimportant - the dissemination of perspective to inform choice is all :-)

Re: Do I really need update Windows so much?

Since becoming an iOS user just over a year ago I'm somewhat surprised at the frequency of updates. Jus' sayin'... And BWC is right... Pro and semi-pro audio is a minisculely small section of Windows' users. The majority don't need all the specialist tweaks and 'don't touch' amendments that many in...
