  1. Ian lays down the slap...

    I have to be honest and say that while I admire and respect the concept of Fugazi, I'm not a huge fan of the actual thing. This video, in which Ian MacKaye cuts loose on the Washington D.C. city council, goes a long…

  2. Best Wurli Model?

    Okay, I'm officially sick of Lounge Lizard. I've been using it so long that I've got to the point where I'd just as soon avoid using a Wurli sound at all as instance it. The electric piano is more or less alone amongst…

  3. Fun With AU Validation Tool...

    One of the most common problems we experience with OSX users is permissions getting messed up on OSX machines. A side effect of a customer's permissions being screwed is that Audio Damage plugins can't read their copy…

  4. The Story With The Store...

    As many customers who've written us know already, we're working on a new Audio Damage store. (Or, rather, my wife is working on a new Audio Damage store, while Adam and I cheer in the bleachers...) It is almost to the…

  5. TC Nova delay...

    This got lost in the shuffle of all the Messe announcements, at least as far as I was concerned. This is the Nova delay pedal from TC. According to the available liturature, it has features cribbed from what is, in my…

  6. Prism Orpheus v. Apogee Rosetta 800 = Fatality...

    Prism Sound, makers of ludicrously high-end A/D/A, are releasing a converter for the Rest Of Us. Assuming The Rest Of Us are sleeping on mattresses full of money, and for whatever reason find the Rosetta 800 to be…

  7. EMI Hops On Clue Bus, Yet Gets Off At Wrong Stop...

    You've no doubt heard this by now. EMI has apparently decided to bend to the will of the market, sort of, and sell DRM-free music on iTunes. They'll be taxing the consumer for the honor of buying something that will…

  8. Oops...

  9. Vacating...

    I'll be out of the office until Sunday. Adam is leaving for Japan tomorrow, as well. So things will be pretty quiet around here for the next couple days. In that vein, this is an open thread for Messe announcement…

  10. This Amon Tobin record...

    So I got the new issue of Remix in the mail the other day, and there's a story about the recording of Amon Tobin's "Foley Room" album, and it piqued my interest enough to go buy the album. (It should be noted that…

  11. Messe Rumors...

    MusikMesse starts tomorrow, the great grandpa of all music-related trade shows. Any rumors of New Hotness you know about? Apple Insider thinks that a new iteration of Logic is coming out tomorrow. According to them…

  12. Acid Screamer...

    While it may be the single most played (and by that I mean "tired") sound in electronic music, it still has its place, and the 303 never sounds better than when it is being run through a good distortion pedal. This…

  13. M-Audio fucking sucks...

    No particular reason for this post, other than to reiterate what I've said many times before: if a company is owned by Avid, they are generally of the whack variety, and M-Audio is the whackest of all. Vista has been in…

  14. Replication...

    Okay, this is turning in to more than a simple "throw a lag in there and release an update" kind of thing. There are four particular instances where clicks occur in Replicant. What they are, and what we've done, are as…

  15. Dumpster Diving...

    You know the stories you always hear about the guy that found the perfect condition Aries modular in his friend's closet? This is one of them. pronobozo sent me a picture of this honker which came to his possession in…
