A Personal Favor...
I don't expect the vast majority of my readers (the ones who aren't in American touring industrial bands, which is, let's be honest, most all of you) to know who Gary Czaplewski is, so I'll give a little back-story…

Performance: ur doin it rong...
Okay, so let me tell you about this show I went to last night. I won't say where it was or who was performing, as when I do that it tends to come back and bite me in the ass. But suffice to say that it was one of those…

BigSeq2 Screenshot...
Here's a shot of BigSeq2 with the new UI. This is, I think, much better than the old one. Click for full-sized. There is one major change to the architecture, as well. Previously, we had only one modulation target per…

Various Things...
1 - BigSeq2 is forging ahead. I've completely re-designed the user interface from scratch, due to comments/criticism about the Rough Rider Pro interface, which was essentially the same as the original BS2 one. (Or the…

A Little Spark...
Well, that was fun, but let's move along. Places to go, things to see, songs to write. One thing I've noticed about myself specifically is that I can demonstrably ("repeatable," as we say when describing errors during…

An Open Letter To Jona Bechtolt...
Dear Jona: While it was kind of you to write me personally expounding on your comments in the previous post, I'm afraid I take issue with some of the points you made. I've chosen to print my thoughts publicly, both for…

Five Years, What A Surprise...
My brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare I had to cram so many things to store everything in there... \-David Bowie, "Five Years" Last week was Audio Damage's fifth anniversary. In that time we've…

Yard Sale...
Okay, time for round two. Here's what's on the block: Apogee Rosetta 200 (192): You know it. You love it. You want it. I have the box and all the materials, and never even sent in the registration card. Essentially…

Old 'n' Busted: Meet New Hotness...
Well, my Rosetta is neither old, nor busted, but in my searching the Interwebs for solutions to various scenarios, I came across a Mytek 8x192 for sale, in PDX, natch. It was at a price too good to pass up, so I popped…

2008 Wrap Up...
All other blogs do a yearly wrap-up post, so I might as well. With that in mind, I give you the Best AD info@ e-mail of 2008: Hallo! I am going to buy your hole Plugins!!! There are nothing comparable for this Price!!!…

Sound Exchange: Made Of Fail...
Within a couple days of each other in the last week, I got my 4th quarter ASCAP publisher's statement and my "Unit Of Arbitrary Time" artist statement from Sound Exchange. If you click on that picture, you can actually…

To Mix Or Not To Mix? That Is The Question...
Long-time readers will note that I used to often put up pictures of people with sprawling rigs of high-end instruments, and then point out that they were mixing all this gear a cheap-ass Behringer or Mackie mixer, with…

Catharsis Time Again...
Okay, I think it's time for one of my semi-regular studio cleanings. This always hurts to do, but I know it is necessary, and past performance shows that when I do it, I write a lot of music that doesn't terribly suck…

Happy Holidays...
Our electricity came back on (lo, and furthermore hark) but seeing how the power grid round these parts is made out of despair and broken dreams, I'd be shocked if we still have juice past noon tomorrow, what with Round…

The Effects Of Advertising...
Back when I was a youngster and, like, signed and stuff, one of the things that I had to pay attention to (and yet disliked extremely) was what the label was doing for advertising, both for the albums themselves and for…
