Re: One for the guitar players-what guitar or fx create this sound

Misirlou. Good luck creating this tone digitally. I mean, you could find a guitar sample playing surf style cross pick, but the problem is the spring reverb IMHO. They get better every year, but digital spring verb just won't sound that alive or, well, springy. You might get close enough with someth...

Re: One for the guitarists

Sad News- You've picked one of the most difficult instruments to learn, so you might wanna realize that most people give up because of that. Your hand is gonna hurt, your fingers will hurt, and that will continue until you've developed calluses. Make sure you have the action set properly (strings se...

Re: Two new REs from 17 Frames (one free)

CV Quant is a pretty powerful device IMHO. I just spent an hour fiddling around and doing all the wrong things with a this and a PSQ-1645, and it scratches all my modular itches. Thank you, 17 Frames.

Re: Another reason for you to hate Waves

Their guitar stuff was enough for me to walk away from Waves after a quick test. Perfectly tepid, below average plugins for the money. IMHO, they try to do way too much and end up with average everything, so, Cherry Audio with a longer history.

Re: the new Instrument Rack is coming in May

RE's and VST's have given me everything I could possibly need, so a new synth isn't at the top of my needs list. No hate, I just hope it lives up to the hype, because it's pretty obvious they aren't too concerned about the DAW improvements right now.

Hardly ever, but I will say this- I heart the Basic Round Thor patch out of the FSB, and throwing SuperMassive onto a Subtractor pad is like shocking them back to life.

Re: The VSTs you would like to have in Rack extensions

None.

If I want the VST in my rack then I'll use the VST. I'd prefer if RE's keep doing their own thing and use the format to its strengths with lots of CV options. That said, I'd love some of the VCV sequencers in RE form, and more Mutable Instruments type stuff like Macro.

Never been there before, and now it looks like I'm in for some exploration LOL. I usually go here for radio recordings.

Re: Torsion Texture Lab, what do you use it for?

I love Torsion, and get everything from spaced out drones to the craziest of textured sounds. Lately, I've been putting ham radio recordings through it for insane speech glitch awesomness. It's a wonderful sound design tool, but it all depends on what you feed it if you want something musical.
