Chandler Germanium-covered goodness...

Why I Hate Digidesign, Vol 36 rev C
My little sister could write drivers better than the absolute travesty that Digi pawns off as the Mbox driver. It's always been a problematic little piece of code, but once I finally installed OSX 10.4, it actually…

Behold: The Power Of Cheese...
A comment in the last post got me wondering about using my ZX81 (and of course I have one; that really goes without saying) for musical endeavors, something I thought more or less impossible. And research shows that…

Oh shit! Hold me back!
Tom from Music Thing A different Tom thought I wouldn't bite on this. He seems to think we're too high-brow over here at Analog Industries to be bothered with such mundane gear. However, I have no pride, so in the…

All Is Quiet On The Western Front...
Man, it's been a long time since I had a whole weekend go by without finding anything new and/or interesting for Monday morning posting purposes. I guess I should point out that I had a lot to do this weekend, and thus…

Yamaha PSS-470: Synth Of The Gods

Hard-Core Gear Porn Friday!!!
Okay, so no multi-image oak and velvet Room Of Doom this week. What we have here is a prime example of why Roger Arrick sleeps well at night. This Italian fellow (who's name I am blissfully unaware of) has obviously…

Moog 907A Fixed Filter Bank...
If you were wondering why I've been rather silent the last couple days, this is why. The next Audio Damage product, coming out some time next week, after we tidy up, is the 907A Fixed Filter Bank. Now, this is a little…

What's in your dream studio?
I was just wondering what the de rigeur Dream Studio was these days. I'm referring mainly to your computer/DAW/converters/summing/outboard highlights, rather than the stacks and stacks of synthesizers/guitars/sackbuts…
