I'm more worried about the environmental shit that is going to hit us in the next decade than AI. Disrupted food production and distribution. Huge increase in climate refugees. Water resources.... We'll be too bothered with that shit to worry about AI. Rolling power cuts are not conducive to AI eith...

Great read! Everyone talks about the LA-2A having 1 knob but it for sure has 2 xD maybe I've been using the wrong one this whole time. Looking forward to reading more! I was in a studio today with a rack of 4 LA-2A's. Overkill. The guy tried to persuade me to take two off of him. Like I was gonna w...

I just want to chime in and say I've experienced music that was great in quadrophonic setups - but it demands someone who's trained to compose for it. I think it was Surgeon who once made an ambient set in Copenhagen with a quadrophonic setup, and that was absolutely horrible. Someone like SØS Gunv...

Oh, I did get a set Kali In8 V2`s. So, ever since I built the mastering studio in the house, it changed the way I looked at speakers. It took me a year of demoing and trialing to find the right mastering speakers for the mastering room. Anyway, since then I became a speaker snob and explorer. I hav...

I guess on a more serious note. Music is shite in surround. When we go to see a band, they don`t sit around us, we sit around them. We place the stage speakers on the same plane as them so it appears the music is coming from "them". I`ve seen live music in surround. Front 242 did a gig in london in...

One of the things you left out was confirmation bias and bullshit. A lot of old gear has mythical status around it that invokes confirmation bias and audiowoo. Take the old Fairchild compressor/limiters. Absolute grot boxes with a very narrow sweet spot that the vst world hyped to be these magical "...

Just got myself a nice unit from Analog Addicts. Hand made stereo tube pultec style EQ, EF86 and ECC88 gain stages. The unit I have just bought was used to master the latest prodigy album. It`s a bit of a boutique rare piece and splashy purchase, but I`m changing my mastering setup at the moment. It...

I see a number of people in the music industry pushing hard on to the new direction of spatial audio mixing and mastering. What does that mean for low budget producers? Is this the de-democratization of music production? Thoughts? XsRAhCgEzjk I guess on a more serious note. Music is shite in surrou...

It will be interesting if MAx4live can integrate ChatGPT for programming. There's already some software that's working in Adobe After Effects for Scripting. I just tested out a plugin that uses Mabook Neural Engine for EQ emulation, it sounded pretty good to me That would be interesting. I'm sure s...

How does it compare to the Analog Heat? Similiar price point. It doesn`t really. They serve different purposes. Analog heat is way more versatile, and can get crazily crunchy, the EQ is adaptive for each different Sat mode, and you get LFO and Envelopes. Freqport can get messy, depending on how you...

There`s already the ISLA S2400 and Rossum SP1200 I did consider getting one, they sound fantastic. Very pricey tho Aye, the ISLA for some reason doesn't attract me. Price is indeed the issue, I'm sure the GS one will NOT be cheap... but damn its sexy. Well the difference is that the Gearslugs one i...

I just got a Freqport FT-1 Freqtube for the mastering room. Crazy bit of kit, and dare I say it has made my Thermionic Culture Vulture ME kinda redundant. How does it compare to the Analog Heat?

TBH these days all you need is good drum samples and a sampler/computer. Outbound gear for processing those sounds is money better spent IMHO. https://samplesfrommars.com/products/tr-909-samples < these are loaded on my analog drum machine...LOL. Ableton's operator can get you the rest. As I told y...

Regarding drum machine groove boxes there is a rather lovely SP1200 clone on Gearslutz I'm interested in if it makes it to production... https://gearspace.com/board/electronic-music-instruments-and-electronic-music-production/1294283-my-sp-1200-clone.html There`s already the ISLA S2400 and Rossum S...

Good info. I have experimented with MJUC a fair bit, and A/B'd with Waves CLA-2A as well. When A/Bing, the difference is very slight between the two; I find MJUC has a more coherent, together sound however, which seems to appreciate a very delicate touch. CLA by comparison seems quite upfront and s...
