DIY tube amp?
Is anyone aware of a simple single-tube amp project out in the interwebs? I'm interested in trying my hand at building a simple tube amp, and I have some excellent NOS GE 6L6 tubes that'd be perfect for the project…

Four Measures Of Fury - May
Yup, it's that time again! Here's your loop. The key is Cm, and the tempo is 90 bpm. This one is a little more challenging, and a little less funky, as a couple people requested last month. It's a tiny piece of a song…

Ahhh, spring...
When a young boy's fancy turns to thoughts of high-interest retail credit cards. Or not. I got the following in my mailbox from my good friend Fred Foster at Sweetwater this morning: I wanted to pass along some pretty…

Hard-Core Gear Porn Friday...
I recall making a comment some months ago that I didn't trust nice clean studios, because it looks like nothing gets done there. By that yardstick, Dana Countryman is one of the busiest guys in the music industry. Take…

Opinions are like assholes...
Okay, I need to be a Decider. With the release of the new API A2D, and the probable price reduction of the Neve 1073DPD, I can see the writing on the wall. It's time to get rid of my MOTU 896 and get an all-AES…

Roland CMU-810 Workout Video (Sweatin' to the oldies!)
fmass sent me links to four videos he made giving his CMU-810 a workout with three System 100m sequencers. The CMU-810, if you're not familiar, is the part of the Roland CMU system that doesn't need an Apple II to work…

API A2D
Oh, you pretty thing. API can do no wrong in my book, and the A2D, finally unveiled today, is no exception. Obviously following in the footsteps of the Neve-AMS 1073 DPD, this is a pair of API 312 mic pres and a…

Fucktard Of The Week...
Hey, I've got an idea. Stop dancing around your bedroom for a minute so I can take this picture and put it up on the Interwebs. Is that okay? This image courtesy of S&TG.

Here we have the home studio of one Meic Kluge. A pretty nice collection of synths, in my opinion. An MS20/SQ10, fairly large Synth.com modular, all the usual Roland suspects, etc. etc. Go to the pictures, then…

Craptastic Chording (with a bonus funny!)
I'm continually amazed at how bad fake sheets are on the internet. I mean, I'm perfectly aware that looking at sheet music (or what passes for such) on the internet is legally exactly the same as downloading mp3s, but…

Saturday In Seattle...
Anything interesting going on in Seattle on Saturday night? Like some good (non-trance) local electronica or something along those lines? The missus and I are trooping up to hang with friends, pick up a broke-ass CS-5…

Weevils, bugs, and loopers...
BugBrand is a new manufacturer (new to me, anyways) of various audio audities. Pictured above is one configuration of the Weevil, which "features twin ring-mod lofi oscillators connected to a massive copper touch-plate…
