I've been out of the TT game for years (seriously, mine hasn't even been plugged in for two years and I didn't use it for two years before that). If the market has changed significantly, then ignore me. That said, I had good luck trawling ebay for a used technics. The SL-1200, before it was...

I just jumped to this cuz of the picture. I have to do new knobs on one of my synthesizers that came with rubbery coated ones that are just gross now, so I'm going with colored aluminum and using set screws to adapt them to the shafts of the pots on my synthesizer (an Arturia Matrixbrute). I'll...

Remember how I was writing about my ideal mastering room a few weeks ago? Add about $20,000 of these things to the BOM. I wish the website didn't have so many broken links where the pictures used to be, it honestly looks a little sketchy. :smirk:

Clearly he and I are two different kinds of insane. I can't imagine looking down at my screen all day and having to bend over every time I want to tweak outboard gear. Can't argue with the results, but that just looks miserable as a place to be all day every day to me. I see the wisdom in the...

I thought about what I'd want for my ideal listening room (to use for mastering). Let's just say there's a reason I use software corrected headphones...

You haven't lived until you've crammed all the music you love onto a single CD in 96kbps MP3 and pressed shuffle on that. The music blends into a seamless (slightly sub-optimal) experience. Bonus points if half the metadata is just wrong.

I wish this unit was missing a knob and scratched to hell, but you get the idea.

I use Acustica Sienna in system wide mode. I started using it for mixing/mastering, but it was so jarring to turn off that I eventually decided to just leave it on if I'm using headphones. I still check mixes with it off every now and then, but it's on 95% of the time. Other than that, I get a...

Yeah, I end up 95% of the time coming up with a great idea on one of the synths, and then recreating it in software and doing the full song in my DAW. I'm not exaggerating when I say out of all the songs I've done, 3 actually have any of these synths on them. It sounds super wasteful, but this...

Very nice setup. I love the palm rest for your typing keyboard that matches the wood on the Prophet. As my studio comes together I find it's all those little things that are hard to really nail. In my case, close to 100 velcro cable ties and collectively probably 200-300 feet of cable manages to...

So actually, I've seen both of these done in the synth world, but none of the synths that implement these are cheap synths. They're all trying to solve pretty much the same problem - the problem we've had with synthesizers since the first ones with patch memory came out in the 70s. That problem...

I sure hope not, I'm testing a new louder-maker VST right now, just sent my notes off to the programmers last week. And the new version of Ozone has to come out in another two years, without another version of IIRC what will we do?

That one and "pro". I can kind of get it with Macbook Pro (as in this is geared towards power users/creative professionals who are going to make use of the extra power). But iPhone pro? Playstation 4 Pro? I guess Apple in their trillion dollar wisdom decided to just carry the Pro moniker from...

No, I'm going to have to go with Sony's new naming convention for Playstation Plus (which is already an upsell of Playstation Net) going to: Playstation Plus Essential, Playstation Plus Extra, and Playstation Plus Premium. As a Sony shareholder, I want whoever came up with this travesty fired. I...

Hahaha, I have a Moog they don't make a cover for myself.
