Hard-Core Gear Porn Friday!!!
Okay, this is kind of a gimmee, because anyone who is in to synths at all and has been on the internet for more than, like, 3 hours or so knows about Çikira and her gear. But for both of you that haven't seen this site…

A turn for the worse...
Bob Moog isn't doing too well, as you no doubt know. The hospice page put up for checking his condition was updated today, and seems to not really have any news that could be described as "good." The site is here, if…

The Best Free VST/AU Ever?
Well, I don't know about all that, but as free VST and AU plugins go, the Luxonix LFX1310 is one of the best. It's a multi-effects unit about on par with an SPX-90 or thereabouts. It's been available as a PC VST for…

Coming soon to a DAW near you...
Our new baby is definitely Getting There. All my previous screenshots of DubStation (either here or OSXaudio) have had the AU version. As you can see, it is now running happily in Nuendo on PC. We had a bit of a problem…

BREAKING NEWS: Entire Music Industry Shuts Down!
Man, I'm sorry about no posting, guys, but there ain't fuck-all happening out there. I haven't found anything interesting to talk about in nigh-on 24 hours or so. Although, I'm secure in the knowledge that I'm not…

Schumman, Joy Of Man's Desiring...
Heavy gear-lust here. The Schumman PLL is a member of the same family that the Electro-Harmonix MicroSynth heads up. It may cost twice as much, but it looks ten times cooler, doesn't it? This is \ almost\ made of…

The Hip Hop, it don't stop...
I have to confess that I Don't Get It. ModernBeats has announced a free VST package (free as in "buy $200 worth of shit from our site, and get this package free") which is, to quote directly from them, "5 innovative…

An ass like BLAM...
Now, this is a good lookin' microphone, make no mistake. LeWilson Microphones also puts them out in green and orange. Don't know nothin' about them except that they're damned easy on the eyes, and have a tube in them…

Space*Synth update...
As a bit of an update to my Tiny Digital roundup of last week, Tony from ElectroKraft dropped me a line to let me know that the reason no more Space\ Synths were available is because they require a specific chip, the…

Hard-Core Gear Porn Friday!!!
This absolutely ludicrous wall of outboard and synths belongs to some studio called "Cosmos," I think. I could make a feeble attempt to Trainspot all the gear on this wall, but I think that the phrase "two of…

Well, that didn't take long...
Hardmac is reporting that OSX Intel has been hacked to run on any PC. There are two videos on the site of a run-of-the-mill PC laptop booting OSX. Of course, this was going to happen; I'm surprised that it happened so…

Alice mic kit...
This is kind of nifty. It's a DIY small-capsule condensor microphone called "Alice." Judging from the sound clips, it compares favorably to other mics of its ilk, and is somewhat cheaper. I kind of like the copper tube…

Big Trouble In Little... uhhhh... Japan...
There's an interesting AP wire article out today that details a bit of drama concurrent with the launch of iTunes in Japan last week. It seems that Sony hasn't yet done a deal with Apple, so there are no Japanese Sony…

Hey! Wanna see a trainwreck?
Well, on the one hand, you have to admire us Americans. When we're not busy spreading Freedom at the point of an M-16 or complaining about the French, we sure are a crafty bunch. We can figure out how to make money on…

The ultimate in vintage hybrid synths...
Back in my day, we walked three miles to school in eight feet of snow (or was it eight miles in three feet of snow?) and we couldn't afford a fancy digital-analog hybrid like the Evolver. We had to make do with what we…
