Re: Prince is dead.

That's really sad news. My condolences to his family and friends. I'll remember him as one of the most talented and skilled composers, (multi-instrumentalist) musicians and performers of all times.

Re: Strange problem with 220 samples from WBF in Kong

I'm using 220_E tom samples from WBF, and have this issue where I hit the drum pad once (or trigger from the sequencer) and the sample keeps repeating. This does not occur with any other samples from WBF or elsewhere--only the 220_E tom samples. Any ideas as to what might be going on? Hi G, it seem...

Re: Switching to Logic Pro. Some Reflections

Hi Klaus, first of all I respect and appreciate your opinion. But there are some things in what you've written here that caused some questions to come up. to 1: To me, Dave Spiers seems to be one among those who are blaming the PPH's SDK for not being suitable for their (sample based) VIs to be port...

Re: Pitch Bend Audio Files?

There's no need to buy a RackExtension for that purpose. Just put Neptune into the channel's Insert that you want to apply a Pitch Bend effect to. Neptune seems to be the right device in this case because can easily be controlled via Pitch Bend and Mod Wheel. Now create a sequencer track for Neptune...

Re: IO card/box to record singing in reason while listening to reason

Hi Mark, my suggestion is MOTU's UltraLite AVB audio interface, which gives you plenty of signal routing and monitoring options since it comes with an internal 48-channel mixer, whereof each channel has its own EQ, Noise Gate, Compressor and Aux Sends. I think if you'll be running the MOTU in conjun...

Interesting article. But still some people want to believe in audio esoterics because it probably makes them feel better, which I'm fine with, so far.

Yeah, I know that guy, Andrew Levin.

Re: INTERVIEW WITH URS HECKMANN (U-HE)

"In any synth, try a highpass filter in front of the common lowpass. Keep the highpass at a very low frequency, add – if possible – a little resonance. As paradox as this sounds, that can boost your bass big time!" Great tip! Correct! That's the way you can get really punchy and percussive bass sou...
