Never enough reverbs though.

Of course not! Goes without saying.

There comes a time in a nerd's life where they must admit that they have enough delay plugins.
For me, that time has come.

Valhalla

Tokyo Dawn Records

D16 (I love their UI design, even though it's often pure UX chaos)

Unfiltered Audio (the only thing of theirs I have is Dent 2, but I love it and use it all the time. They just make fun stuff.)

U-He, of course, for being some of the granddaddies.

(or to cheaply upgrade to a future updated FM synth from NI)

FM8 is 15 years old and FM7 is 20 years old! I think for a 15 year old interface it's looking pretty good - just a bit small. ;) In particular, the implementation of the envelope designer was very forward-looking, and especially familiar to Reason users! I think the XY patch morphing is a great idea...

There'd need to be mass layoffs for that though, right? Well, from the same Twitter thread: 'We've seen a couple rounds of layoffs already (hello, iZotope R&D department!) and I imagine this will only get deeper as the PE tries to get its investment back. (Not realizing that "new and shiny" is what...

Intel Mac only - could be abandonware? Quite possibly, by the sounds of things. I saw a tweet from Chris Randall of Audio Damage yesterday, saying that NI, Izotope and Plugin Alliance are one conglomerate now: 'From an objective standpoint, it's going to be interesting to watch this NI/iZo/PA congl...

I remember looking at a Prophet 5 one of these when I bought U-He's Repro. In this instance I would say it would be much more inspiring to just buy the Behringer, if you can bring yourself to give them your custom. If you want it to be hands on, might as well do it properly and allow yourself to spo...

I'm in a period of not playing with music and sound very much, but when I do Ableton is my DAW these days. Reason sometimes gets used as a plug-in. I'm pretty sure both Ableton and Reason have to work around a lot of legacy code. I think Bitwig was the result of some frustrated ex-Ableton engineers ...

I think Pigments is a great synth.

I wonder if this means NI have a new FM synth on the horizon - a Massive X to FM8's Massive?

I'm having this.
FM8 has a great interface for exploring FM, a wealth of tutorials and knowledge, and at this price? Why wouldn't you?

I think CLAP is not the best name - although one syllable Vs 4 is good - but I'm all for open source and all for bringing new formats that might help devs to help users. We can think about whether we re-buy plugins etc later. Don't worry about it. Just see what happens. (People's favourite DAWs and ...

As a subharmonicon owner, I can confirm that those mini pots are Not Satisfying.

Not familiar with the monitors mentioned, so I cannot comment in comparison, then like already posted above the Adams are quite suitable for listening aswell as for mixing. Just recommend at least checking them out. There´s merely the successor of the F7 being produced though and haven´t heard thos...

This is my next big purchase so I've been researching hard. They'll be for listening more than making, and I don't want to be replacing or upgrading them. Just getting used to them for years and gradually tweaking their surroundings. I've narrowed it down to APS Klasiks or Focal Shape Twins (though ...

You need a piece of free software called Voicemeeter banana mixer. And maybe a bit of perseverance/reading of the help section. Then you can set your computer's audio as an audio input visible in the mixer of Reason or any other DAW. It's possible to accidentally induce horrifying digital audio feed...

You could buy a Moog Matriarch for that price.
Or a Digitakt, a DFAM and a Grandmother *and still have change*.

Insane.

Batteries leaking or catching fire is a very low-likelihood risk. Smartphones are usually not on fire, and we all use them every day.

Lithium batteries getting tired and simply not working after a couple of years, on the other hand, happens all the time.

what? how? like in making consumers think something is better because its more expensive?

Have I got some speaker cables for you!

Just what I was going to say!

Remember the golden hi-fi rule - whatever your budget for the entire hi-fi setup, budget at least 10x that amount for cables.

As others have said, it's plain old confirmation bias and it's already well understood. You expect to experience a particular outcome, so you do. Much of the hi-fi industry is built on this.

Thanks! Worked out about £3.50 for me. Always happy to have a new box of inspiring quick FSU presets!

I finally gave them their $60 the other day. Decided it was about time.

So far I use it exclusively for recording audio, either from external hardware or from YouTube etc. It loads so fast I don't have to wait for it.

I have a Digitakt, and I can also attest that the terrifying Elektron workflow is actually not terrifying and is very nice.

Of the three -takt format boxes, the Syntakt actually looks like my least favourite so far, based on the videos I've watched. At the very least, I'd want a Digitakt beside it.

Interesting. Link to the product?

It's linked on the video page.

Ok?
