In the same way that when you mix all the paints together you get brown, there’s already a detectable style in each of the various AI “disciplines”. My suspicion is that this homogeneity/entropy will only continue, especially once it starts to really feed on itself, as you say. Ultimately it will re...

Such Behringer

Fuck all this digital landlordism bullshit, honestly.

It’s mainly about the extra ports, for me. I could outsource them to a hub, but by the time I’ve spec’d a Mac Mini up, I might as well have bought the base level Studio.

I keep a little list on my notes app of which VSTs I have and like and use, so that when I replace my computer - or it suddenly dies - I don’t have to try and remember them all (good practice in general - M4L devices too). Given the like likelihood my next computer will be an Apple silicon Mac, I pu...

I got Sigmund 1 when D16 accidentally gave it away for free for a day or so that time. I like it for preset surfing but the interface was a bit of a beautiful mess, IMO. And WOW is it a CPU hog for a delay plugin! How’s version 2 for CPU use? If it’s the same or better, I’ll probably spend the $19, ...

For me it just has to be the Modnetic by Surreal Machines...it doesn't look like a vintage tape delay but serously nothing else comes close !Screenshot 2024-02-12 at 11.26.19.png Then we have the most versatile of them all which is a pretty good tape delay ...

Newfangled make great stuff.

I don’t need another delay.

I will probably get this delay.

Since 11 was a bit of a performance hog relative to 10, I’m reluctant to upgrade blind again. I think I’ll leave it and see how it’s doing in a year or so.

I also find NE's naming and design highly off-putting. But their VSTs won me over in the end.

Waves are satan

I've never managed to buy any Sonic Charge plugins because I think they're all just a bit too expensive. They always seem like one of those "if you priced it 30% lower you'd sell 100% more copies" companies - but I'm sure they know their business *shrug*

As a Push 2 user, I might consider an offer on the Push 3, but not really interested in the standalone.

Valhalla Space Modulator is all the phaser you need, and it's free.

Edit: it's a flanger. But nevertheless!

You get this with some modes and eras if the feedback is higher. That track will have a constant level of noise tickling the bottom of the channel meter. Most modes are emulating machines with lots of self-noise. Try turning the feedback right down and seeing if that makes it go away.

I like the possibilities of polymeric accent and slide sequencing, but I already have phoscyon 2...

I'm using milkcrates that I absconded with from a previous job. Free/cheap and does the trick. I mean, why spend money on something like this? https://static.grainger.com/rp/s/is/image/Grainger/10E133_AS01?$adapimg$&hei=804&wid=804 These should work great, though I’d probably zip tie them together ...

Music is just sounds doing rhythmical things, guys. You seem to be keeping a list of right and wrong rhythmical things. Strong "old man shakes fist at cloud" vibes in this thread. Feeling that a sound is overused is one thing, but I repeatedly come across this sentiment that pumping is just misuse o...

Using different DAWs for different things is good and nothing to be ashamed of!

You're a good panda, Panda.

I doubt I need more than my EHX DMM 1100-TT. But another one can't hurt......

As a Subharmonicon owner, I always enjoy devices that decouple the note sequence from the gate/pulse sequence. There are some fun M4L devices in that area - glad to see this for Reason!

I, for one, welcome the emergence of one giant music tech company whose thousands of products are quickly streamlined into Bluetooth speakers with the Moog logo on and an AI Trap Hats subscription service. What an exciting time.

https://isotonikstudios.com/product/ded ... tiq-audio/ maybe investigate this too. I have it (and Sandman Pro!) but haven't really got deep with either one yet - both are very powerful and all of Unfiltered Audio's stuff is solid.

I was annoyed with myself that I didn't get this before it disappeared, although the envelope designers in Sweeper etc took the edge off - in a RRP context it would/will be a brilliant tool. Thanks to the devs for this!
