I listened to all of this (and occasionally looked at the video), as I was working today and found it very interesting. Anyone else?
I realize this is total audio nerd stuff, but I suspect that I’m not alone in finding it of interest. I bet @thesteven, @lamia6 and @gregjazz would enjoy this — and probably a bunch more. But especially software…Read More

I’ve spent a good deal of time researching jazz brushes drum kit plugins and sample libraries. I don’t really think any developer has completely nailed it. Comparably, getting stick, rod, or even brushes wacking a drum is simple. But there’s much more to the sounds of jazz brush drumming with sweeps (as opposed to staight hits with a brush, w…Read More

@gregjazz I just had a simple little promotional idea for an abandoned shopping cart containing the Big Bottom Bundle. It’s probably the best idea I’ve had in a while. I mean, profoundly good. I would say, brilliant. but I’m far too modest to say that.

Best of the best.That’s what @thor and @gregjazz have always told me. I just don’t have enough talent to be worth that kind of money! Although, is it just me, or has their EQ come down in price? But I’ve already invested in Sonible’s EQ4 — although I never redeemed the license from Best Service (oops) –…Read More

I don’t recall being blown away by an artist like I am with Madison Cunningham since Jeff Buckley. I think @gregjazz who’s responsible for me being aware of her several years back when he was preparing to sample a rubber neck guitar and forwarded me her excellent song, “Pin It Down.” If the world got music right, Madison would be selling out…Read More

@thor Considering your love of modular synths, I’m wondering if you own this, and if you do, would you recommend it?
FTR, when I refer to my friends who know a lot more than me who I go to for advice on all things related to making music with a DAW, Thor is one of the people I turn to A LOT. He is a gaming music composer. He — like @GregJazz –…Read More

I think one of my friends owns this, maybe @gregjazz. Does anyone here own it that can weigh in? You guys are pretty much my top resource before I buy this stuff. @cclarry you’re mainly a rocker like me, but you venture out into other genres. Do you own this? I’ve thought about his for along time and I thought Greg had said good things about it…Read More

XO is great! The stock sounds are mostly electronic drums, but it can do so much more once you bring in additional sounds… All those free/commercial one-shot samples are so much more useful when they’re all available within the plugin and automatically organized/categorized. Of course, even with acoustic drum sounds it’ll still end up sounding…Read More

One of my hopes in creating this site was to take the group of people I became very fond of from Cakewalk Forum bring them to a better environment where we could continue having great deals, but also encourage one another like my friends @gregjazz and @thor have encouraged me to attempt playing music again.

Okay, I see that @gregjazz just joined the group. I’d love to some photos of that collection of gear! Of course, that might give away what sample libraries you’re working on next. But that could be fun… You could take a photo of a part of an instrument you’re recording and leave us to speculate on what it might be. Me personally, my dream would…Read More

I’ll see what I can do… My gear is very lop-sided, though, just based on the projects I’m working on. So while I have a lot of gear, I wouldn’t necessarily consider it well-rounded… 😛

It may come as a shock, but Dave Grohl cites Andrew Gold as one of his all-time favorite songwriters, responsible for what he considers the greatest songs ever written.
