Drive By Snark...
Musikmesse starts on Wednesday, so naturally all the pre-announcements are rolling out, like they do. I was strongly considering going to Messe this year, but then we decided to go to Hawaii instead, for reasons that…

Say April Fools Again, Motherfucker...
Just breath through it. It'll be over soon. In other news, here's the deal: I generally work on about three or four things at once. Usually one Audio Damage thing, one thing for myself, and one contract job. The reason…

Home Again...
Back at the Kompound again, after a fantastic week in Kauai. The only bad thing about the trip was the crying babies on the plane (both ways, natch) and that wasn't even that bad, honestly. Since I didn't take a laptop…

aloha...
I'm going to be out of the office for a week starting on 3/14. I'll be enjoying the location pictured above in Kauai, Hawaii. (That's a picture of Tunnels, a few minutes walk from the house we rented.) This is the first…

ripspace...
I've been busy as hell the last couple weeks; multiple plates are spinning here at the Audio Damage Marketing And User Interface Design Facility; I was in dire need of a headcleaner, and thankfully, an excuse presented…

Samplefest...
I spent most of the week in L.A. on a business trip (and also: Karting, the which I have the bruises to prove), which will account for my relative silence the last few days. The next few months are going to be very…

Out With The Old 'n' Busted, In With The New Hotness...
If you head over to AudioDamage.com, you'll be treated to a full ground-up re-design courtesy of my lovely wife, Elle Randall. To say that this is mainly a cosmetic update is to understate the matter quite a bit. The…

To The Moon...
Waldorf surprised us all this morning with the announcement of the Rocket, a little hybrid monosynth (analog filter, digital everything else) that will retail for about $299 here in the US. The synth features some…

And Again...
I'm working on several interesting things right now that would be excellent fodder for conversation here. Unfortunately, I can't talk about any of them. At all. So that leaves us with yet another Disembodied Hands…

blinkerette...
Busted out a little jam with the Analog Four and Maschine. All the synthy stuff is coming from the Analog Four, of course.

Analog Four...
After several days of slogging around NAMM, and experiencing so many product demos they kind of turned in to a blur of specs, connectors, and knob labels ("SAY iOS AGAIN, MOTHERFUCKER!!!"), when all was said and done…
-
Audio Damage Bitcom Now Available...
To say that Bitcom took longer than expected would be to understate the matter in a somewhat ludicrous fashion. We decided to bang out a simple, fun sequencer-based bit-basher in August. It was supposed to take a couple…

NAMM 2013 Day Three And Other Stuff...
Yesterday was my last day at NAMM (I don't go on Sunday, as the words "fucking ridiculous" can only be uttered so often before people start thinking I have Tourette syndrome) and my mobility was somewhat hindered by a…

NAMM 2013 Day Two...
Okay, NAMM, we need to talk. It's time you put on your big boy pants and moved to a real convention center. Anaheim was fun and all (okay, well, not really), but you've grown too large. It's time to consider moving to a…

NAMM 2013 Day One...
One long-ass day of wandering about and strained politeness in the bag. I took a few pictures, but it's early in the morning, and I don't feel like digging out my camera and dealing with that right now. Besides, Brandon…
