It seems that a new company called Bricasti Design is actually releasing a hardware reverb, the M7. It is rather unusual for a hardware 'verb to come from someone besides TC, Lexicon, or Yamaha, so I thought it worth…
Since this seemed to start a dull roar in my inbox from all my peers who think I'm hitting the pipe, let me state for the record that there is no way one could possibly record and mix "real" music in Live 5. For…
Pictured is the latest from Metasonix, the S1000 "Wretch Machine," hot from the floor of the Vacuum Tube Valley Expo. It will have an MSRP of $2500. According to the literature, it is all-tube, all discrete, Hz/V…
Okay, this is going to be a somewhat convoluted tale, so try to bear with me here. Our label just signed this fellow from Chicago (more on that when it is appropriate) and his prefered method of working is with Live…
One of the AI readers, Phil Hendricks of Seattle, sent me pictures of his current rig, and as soon as I saw them, I knew my HCGP issues were solved, at least for this week. Pictured above, you can see Phil's Wall O'…
Over at Positron! Records, the parent site of Analog Industries, we do a bi-monthly podcast that usually contains either music from the Positron! Catalog or unreleased material by the various members of the Positron!…
Got my shiney new (old) Prophet 2000 today. It is in 100% perfect working order, and is actually about 9/10 cosmetically. Since I plan to mainly use this as a controller, and not a sampler (what an old-fashioned term…
In no particular order: 1\. Who gives a fuck? They're titties. Half the human race has them, and the other half wants to touch them. Get over yourself, you prude little bitch. 2\. Why is the Sweetwater Word For The Day…
I know I threatened to build an MFOS Sound Lab Mini Synth several months ago, but time has not been permitting. Between FIA World Rally, Battlestar Galactica, and Rome, I've been far too busy watching TV to be bothered…
So TC Electronics just put up an interview with Jon Burton, the FOH engineer for The Prodigy. If you look closely at the photo above, which heads the interview, you'll notice that what's on the screen is pointedly \…
Here is a screen shot of the final UI for Phase Two. If you click here, you can see it in full resolution. As you can see, we've stayed more or less true to the original. The only difference is that instead of the "PED"…
From the Portland Craig's List: this ad for a Yamaha DX-5. Don't see those around too often, and this seems to be in pretty good shape. $575 and a forklift takes it home. Quite frankly, I wouldn't mind having one of…
Ho, ho, ho. I bet you thought I was going to go off on one of my thrice-yearly rants about Logic! No such luck. What we have here is a big fat pile of logic chips, plus a metric fuckload of germanium (and silicon too)…
I assume you all remember the little LIFE gizmo that TechnoMage made a couple years back. Well, snappa just hipped me to the fact that there is a LIFE 2 in the works. I tend to start looking for the exit sign when I…
