Tiny Digital Roundup...
It's Wednesday, and that means it's time to send in the Rodeo Clowns, because we're having a round-up! This week, we'll have a gander at all the little digital synths that make life worth living. The first contender for…

New ShinyBox ribbon mic...
ShinyBox has released another cheap-ass ribbon mic, the ShinyBox model 46. This one is even cheaper-asser than the last one I mentioned a couple weeks back, at only US$150.00, versus the US$165.00 of the somewhat larger…

2/3 of the way to being a rock star...
Here's a progress report on the Great Kay Refinishing Pageant. All the StupidBurst paint was easily removed, as it was a rather thin coat. Took me about 45 minutes total of sanding. I then hand-sanded the body to within…

Oh, that's Creative...
Let me just point out, before getting off on a rant, that if you're even remotely interested in using a computer for making/editing music, your sound I/O should be nowhere near the computer itself. The inside of a…

Welcome (again)...
As you can see, we're kickin' it nu-school now. Special thanks to my lovely wife Lisa for making it much nicer than it was, and to Mark Beeson at Heluna for writing the awesome posiNET back-end in the first place. Now…

Good idea? Maybe not...
So Peter over at the Create Digital Music blog came across this site, where this guy rack-mounts an NES. This, in and of itself, is kind of, well, not that cool. However, Peter made what is perhaps a mistake. He said…

1/3 of the way to being a rock star...
At least, that's what you're led to believe when you don't know any better. I found this Kay acoustic at a yard sale yesterday for $10. (When I got it, it was strung up, and had a bridge, if you were curious.) It…

New Jomox product in the pipeline...
The XBase 999 is apparently coming down the pike. Seems to be a logical extension of the Xbase 09. Real analog for the kick, snare, low tom and high tom, samples for everything else. Improvements over the Xbase09 are as…

OSX Audio back on line...
Sort of. Seems to be a bit iffy at the moment; some graphics aren't getting served. But those blessed forums are back on-line, and that's all that matters, right? Go forth.

Yard Sale Woes...
So, I learned a couple valuable lessons today. I was cruising the yard sales today, and came across a fellow selling a Farfisa Fast 3. Now, this isn't the Score Of The Century or anything, but I go to enough yard sales…

Hardware Sequencers...
For some reason, in the last week I seem to have been bombarded with references to hardware sequencers. Adam is currently designing a pretty nifty one for his modular, and the Analog Heaven mailing list has been chock…

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.
