Exponential's R2 and Phoenixverb have both been offered at giveaway prices of late. I got them both, as the reverb nerd that I am.

I still have no desire to go back to those wild skeumorphic GUIs. And LOL at that VST note. Fascinated to learn what the story is here.

Last updated 2021 - there might be a newer one somewhere.

Is this maybe overcomplicating things? There are lists comparing the latencies of every interface on the market. If latency is the value under scrutiny, it might be best just to look at one of those lists, and see which connection correlates most with the lower latencies. But from what I remember la...

Timestretching, slice mode, repitching, pre-set recording lengths. It's a great update. I bought my Digitakt when it only had one LFO per track! Such a great little noise mangler.

I can lay down a new track in silence, using only one level, and I hit my marks 9 times out of 20.

I think the point is that there are two (at least) SNRs and dynamic ranges, which are seamlessly moved between depending on the scale of the incoming wave. That would mean that the SNR of the file is dynamically variable, and very big. I don't know the technology, but it could even be that sometimes...

I assume FL enjoys an extreme presence and brand recognition within hip-hop and rap production online spaces, and as noted above, there are so many teenage beginners in those genres that FL has a steady turnover of new users to sustain it. (No shade either to FL - which I have no doubt is the perfec...

Necrothreading FTW! :clap: So, I tinkered with Aeox's patch, added a few bells and whistles, modified the devices and stuff, and made an, I think, usable Endless Smile patch that sounds, again, I think, pretty decent). *C2 required for this one* (see attached file) You have to have a few extra RE's...

I'm gonna go against the grain here and say go for Europa instead of Thor. Imo Europa is more user friendly. It just looks cleaner and is easier to understand. Thor looks like a mess. Europa has the basics but it also has depth and lots of options too. It's more modern sounding too. If you're divin...

But like many things that are repeated without context, folks don’t remember the problem they only remember the solution. So we tend to apply the same solutions even after the problem no longer exists, like with this example, or like recording “hot” to avoid noise on analog tape and still recording...

Yeah, that used to be a very interesting and well-designed Max device, and I'm glad it's been expended to VST.

because they will never be the limitation...

100%!

All the U-He synths are the absolute top of the game, both in sound and interface. They're all worth it, and we only "need" stock DAW synths

Antidote remains one of the best REs ever made.

Good Me: Don't buy more stuff, you don't need it GAS me: but Satin is on offer and you have been after it for ages. You need more tape options. Good Me: you have chow tape, you don't need more than one tape emulation GAS Me: spends £57 on satin. Need more conviction in 2023 but Satin is fantastic 😂...

I'm still waiting for Radical Kazoo

I saw Radical Kazoo at the Norwich Arts Centre in 1997

CPU would be a nice upgrade! I really like V3 but find I have to turn FX off a lot because otherwise I'm one wrong chord away from crackles.

More CPU power is the key thing for running many virtual instruments and effects at the same time. Remember you're thinking not only about today's plugins, but the plugins in 5 years' time. An upgrade from the basic RAM spec is a safe bet generally, but especially if you use sample-based instruments...

You'd think Moog would just keep the D in continuous production.

And that they'd make an SMD version with a steel-and-plastic chassis, like the Grandmother, and sell it for ~$1200 all day long as fast as they could build them. I won't buy a Boog but I would buy a Moog D-lite.

M2 is an iteration of M1, so if it runs on M1 it'll run on M2. If you Google with M1 in your search you'll get plenty of answers.

I have a lot of Arturia gear, which has the adhesive disease. I used talcum powder on the sticky surfaces, tried not to put it into the knobs or sliders. It appears to heal or slow down the process but creates a "vintage look" on the treated areas (which I actually like). I have a 2nd hand Microbru...

Hello! My Push 2 has reached the stage in its life where all the rubberised plastic edges have turned into horrible dust-enriched glue. Because apparently product designers still think rubberised plastic is cool and nobody has beaten them up for it. I've just used some isopropyl alcohol and a cloth ...

Sorry, I haven't been on the forum much so I've only just seen this thread.

Have NFTs changed the face of music, aye?

I think the €99 is worth it just for Dark Zebra. That's the price of just Dark Zebra by itself today. It is an incredible sound design accomplishment and a piece of synth/film history—owning the synth and its presets created by Howards Scarr and Hans Zimmer for the Dark Knight series. Yeah, it's in...

McDSP! There's a name I haven't heard for a while.

iLok is no worse than the Codemeter authorisation that Reason uses. The only irritation is it wants you to login when you register a new plugin. But you're all keeping your login details in a password manager by now, right?
