Rock School
So we're running this contest over at the Positron! site, wherein we asked for remixes of a song off my upcoming Micronaut album, and the winner is voted on to the disc. I wasn't expecting to be swamped with remixes. I…

Our TAS are better than your TAS...
Well, we're about to put Audio Damage in Test Mode, as the RTAS port of Mayhem is nearing completion. I'll be honest; I'm not much help in this particular endeavor except as moral support and a funnel for complaints…

I thought it was finally here...
..but I was sorely mistaken. One of the many kookie ideas I've had for VST plug-ins was a VSTi version of a circuit-bent Speak & Spell. Since I'm fairly confident that Adam would be, in a word, nonplussed about such a…

Discord review...
Our friends at the MusicThing Blog have put up a nice review of Discord. Go check it out.

Deverb + Discord
Sorry it's been such a damned long time since I posted here, but I've been literally swamped. We had a new release over at Positron!, my wife and I had massive legal troubles as the result of some bad judgement…

Lemur
I'm always on the lookout for cool control surfaces, and lo and behold, what do we have here? This has been making the rounds of the various music tech sites lately, so you might have seen it, but it's still a nifty…

Man, oh man.
Princeton released their Eventide 2016 reverb plug for VST this week. Boy, howdy, is this a nice reverb. I don't buy a lot of plug-ins myself, but I'm definitely getting this. Either that, or starting to save for the…

Sequence-O-rama
This is pretty cool. This fellow Colin Frasier has made a D-I-Y analog-style 8 track sequencer. Looks like a tough build to me, but the only reason I know which end of a soldering iron to hold is because I've burned…

It's been a long time...
Sorry that it's been a few days since I posted, but I've been rather on the busy side of late. We're putting the finishing touches on not one but TWO new plug-ins for Audio Damage. On top of that (and I believe I…

New Die Warzau album out today...
One of the Illuminati of the Chicago industrial music scene, Die Warzau, has released their first album in eight years. You can nab it at the Positron! Records store for US$14.00.

And now, for something completely different...
We're getting ready for a massive Audio Damage data fiesta here in a couple weeks. We have a new product on the way, and the website will be getting a major upgrade. I can't really talk about the new plug-in, except to…

I've Got A New Toy, Oh Way Oh...
Three gold stars to the person that can name both the performer and author of that song. Anyways, got some new kit, and I write about it in the "gear" section. Go on. Tap that button. You'll love it. Really, you will.

Powercore Compact
TC has made a little version of the Powercore FW, called the Powercore Compact. I've been meaning to pick the normal one up for a while now; unfortunately, the Fiscal Gods haven't been kind to me the last couple months…

Shaolin Fist Of Death
We've been entertaining the thought of moving back to the Pacific Northwest for quite some time now, probably 4 years. We actually almost did it two years ago, but the Big Plan fell through. In any case, I've been…

Niiiiiiiice....
Just found out about this today, via the MusicThing blog. It seems this young feller has made a MIDI interface and software combo, called MIDINES and NESFX respectively. These two things, used in concert and as the…

Brick 0 Brick
In my never-ending quest for musical weirdness, I came across an interesting site last night. AFAICT, this guy doesn't make commercial products. He's made something called the MIDIbrick, which is a sort of MIDI hardware…

Droid 3 not too far from shipping again...
I'm always on the lookout for odd little boxes, and the Droid 3 fits the bill nicely. Unfortunately, I found out about it after they had already sold all their export units last year. I just got an e-mail that implies…

Buchla re-releases Series 200 modular!
This is worth a "wow," if you're in to this sort of thing, which I am. Don Buchla, one of the original Iron Men of analog synth design, has decided to release an updated version of his Series 200 modular. Check it out…

And away we go...
The Audio Damage site has now been updated, and the Ratshack Reverb VST is available for purchase, so whack that link to the right and go check it out. I got a tooth pulled today, so I'm in no shape to make demo sound…

What a day...
Boy, howdy. The final day of development on a new product, be it an album (my wife and I also own a record label) or piece of software, is always a major pain in the ass. We finished Ratshack Reverb today, and it was…

Ratshack Reverb In The Pipe...
The next Audio Damage product is almost done, and it's a doozy. I imagine it will be up for sale, in Windows and OSX VST, within the week, as soon as we get the installers done. It is an actual model of the Realistic…

Assembly 101
I'm always on the look-out for new (old) ways to make square waves, so the XGameStation really caught my ear. In a nutshell, it's basically a learning/development platform to teach people the basics of game design, in…

Hey, now!
The previous post apparently had a tenor that suggested I might be a Mac Hater, at least according to some e-mail I received during the night. Let me state for the record that I swing both ways. My main music production…
