  1. UB VST hosts?

    Is anyone aware of a currently available Universal Binary VST host? I can't find one for love nor money, but I know you guys get out more than me...

  2. Is this thing on? Tap, tap, tap...

    Okay, both the Rocky Mountain Research Division and the Central Cascades Rainwater Collection Facility branches of Audio Damage have Intel-based Macs on the premises now. My initial impressions were heavily colored by…

  3. In the queue...

    Man, what a month. While I was waiting for my Intel iMac to show up, I whipped out the product you see pictured above, BigSeq, which is an analog-informed gate and filter sequencer. I have the Windows version done, and…

  4. God damn! I said GOD DAMN!

    Man, if that doesn't bring a smile to your face, I don't know what will. Inward Connections built this custom all-tube console for 16 Ton Studios in Nashville. There's a bit about it, and a couple more pictures in this…

  5. A job opportunity...

    If you have visions of becoming a sound designer, Ilio has a new service called Samplebase, which is an online library of samples with an integrated sample player plugin, and they're looking for sample bakers. Give it a…

  6. Speaking of Moog Cred...

    Oof. For some reason, it's more impressive to see the backs than the fronts. (Thanks, rasmus\ nyaker)

  7. UB In the Hiz-Nouse, Beyatches!

    That subject will look funny in your aggregator, no doubt. Anyways, today was a semi-momentous day, as we completed the first Universal Binary build of an Audio Damage product, the AU version of Dubstation. After some…

  8. Build your own cigar-box guitar...

    This is an easy one, and almost certainly to good result. Cigarboxguitars.com has lots of information about how to build and play a cigar-box guitar, including making it electric via a piezo transducer or winding your…

  9. DIY guitar pedal helper...

    This is a pretty cool idea. I've thought along similar lines since I started making my own pedals. It's a piece of wood, with a protoboard attached, and a piece of angle aluminum with various flavors of pots, plus a…

  10. Hard-Core Gear Porn Friday!!!

    The above picture is the studio of one Ruediger Lorenz, c. 1996 or so. He's the one on the right; don't know who the other two fellows are, but that guy with the Hard Rock shirt on really needs some lunch or something…

  11. Sorry...

    But my posting this week will be on the thin side, for three reasons. 1: Our label has a comp in the production queue that is just about out the door, and I still have a bit of work to do on it. 2: Dealing with this…

  12. Low parts-count DIY VCF...

    If you're looking for a pretty easy DIY project, I just came across this low parts-count VCF that looks pretty promising, done using vactrols. Here's the page. Everything is pretty easy to get, and I bet it could be…

  13. Fuzzy Fun, Pt. 2...

    Okay, after a quick go-round on the VSTGUI Dev list, I was able to get the VST2.4 version of FuzzPlus2 working on all OSX hosts that I have, as well. So help yourself, and do let me know if you experience a problem, as…

  14. Big mixer, small footprint...

    This is kind of an interesting concept in mixers I came across today. It's the Blue328 from Renegade Labs. It's a full 32-input 8-bus mixer in a package that is 12" on a side. The name makes me think of the Digital328…

  15. Fuzzy Fun...

    As I mentioned in my previous post on the subject, the VST2.4 SDK was released on Friday, which caused us some consternation. I spent the weekend working with it to see what was what, and some bad news results. Here's…
