For me, the best one is the last one but replace the top of his head with the one from the middle.

I have a lot of mixed feelings abut Neil. He’s written a ton of good songs, is apparently a difficult person to work with, but in the end he’s just a little too preachy for me.

XO is still only 40% off. Still waiting for a 50% sale.

Nice demo. i’ll try this synth 🙂

This for me was one of those “it’s only $5 what can go wrong?” purchases.

That sentence has gotten me into trouble more than once.  My problem is I keep raising the baseline.  “It’s only $10, it’s only $14.99, Oh look, I can get one for the price of two”.  I’ve got say, I really like the “it’s better t…Read More

This for me was one of those “it’s only $5 what can go wrong?” purchases. I’ll never use Parallel Aggressor I don’t think. AberrantDSP or Klevgrand fill that hole for me. Figured Zak Sounds Deep Waters as a freebie could be nice. I may be wrong but it seems pretty buggy. The xy pad, to my ears, does nothing. I wrote to him just to to get some…Read More

I had the original -it eventually died and when I moved to York I gave it to someone who said he would fix it and sell it on but i don’t know if he ever did. Even broken it would probably be worth a bit today!

+ in this forum are always musicians very user friendly, which is absolutely superb :))

Hey, thanks a lot guys!

That sounds really cool, Steve! Seriously.

Check out our new tools:

I agree!  For $10, got got me 🙂

Context: most of my work is acoustic instrumentals, so don’t expect any synths from me.

Drum kits: I end up using Addictive Drums 2 because they’re so simple to use, but I’m not a very good drummer. Maybe I should send my sketches to Peter.

Frame Drums: Redroom Audio – the only VSTi I’ve found that let’s you independently control both the right…Read More

I finally caved and bought the Tonex pedal last year, and it is really neat.  I think they have been selling a ton of them.  All the magic is still in the software though- even if its ported to a stomp.  Probably true of most new pedals these days, at least if they are cramming a ton of FX in them.  IK also recently released that Vocal AI pro…Read More

What’s up with IK these days?  With all the fire-sale prices and discontinuation of some of their major software players (Sampletank, Mellotron to name two) I get the feeling they’re leaving the software world behind and moving towards a Tonex/hardware type future.

So glad you’re here, Mike!
