They've been in the cupboard for months as party leftovers - finally found a use for them!
-
What brand of beans are they?

I haven't had it long (under a month) but so far it does exactly what I wanted it for, which is really solid basslines with minimoog-esque filter movement when required. I haven't delved too far into the editor or hidden features yet other than move around a few onboard patches though.
I can see how you'd get rid of it if you're looking for something a bit crazy/forward in the mix but it compliments the MS20 well and is pleasingly hi-fi, which makes layering easy. -
You should! I really like the slight air of chaos it brings to a track and it sounds incredible if you double track it too.
-
P.S if anyone fancies a colab (colab bro?) I'm on Blend.io and Splice
I have a half track on Blend (made entirely from one single 5 second sine wave sample) that is available to pull
-
Not seen Blend before, looks interesting.

free tube compressor plug in - actually pretty nice, subtle

Cheers EB. will download tonight.
My go-tos for fauxtube compression are the Softube CL-1B which I tend to use on individual sources that need a little squash. http://www.softube.com/index.php?id=cl1b and lately I've become a big fan of this http://www.waves.com/plugins/puigchild-compressor#jack-joseph-puig-puigchild-compressor-limiter which has a great "mastering glue" setting which (since I weaned myself of my unhealthy Kramer Tape addiction) goes on the stereo bus of almost everything.

Had a really long week of early starts, busy day-job days and late other-job nights. Got two musical commissions delivered though including the gypsy jazz film soundtrack stuff. Decided that I'd finished with that last night about 1:30am having realised that I'd been working 18 hours straight, hadn't eaten properly and I was so tired I was shaking. Will post up some clips this weekend.
One thing that I really came to realise this last couple of weeks is that it's all very well having nice condenser mics but if your room sounds less than great raises hand then an SM57 is probably going to sound better than the mic that's picking up all of those nasty early reflections and flutter echos. I had been pretty unhappy with some guitar parts recorded on my tube condenser so dug out the '57 last week. I did an entire piece in a day just using that one mic and found it so easy to mix that I decided to re-visit the gypsy jazz soundtrack stuff and re-record that with the 57 too. It was a whole world of away from the slightly cold phasey echo affected first version and took all of 20 mins to mix. Bit of a revelation tbh.

Hey all, long time no see.
Wanted to ask if anyone can recommend someone in London (preferably East) that does synth repairs? London Modular's guy is booked up for months and Fluctus aren't getting back to me.
It's just a battery replacement on a DX7 but I was hoping someone who knows what they were doing could install a battery holder so I can replace it myself in the future.
Cheers

I don't know if this is the right place, but is there much piano knowledge here?
For my wife's 30th birthday I want to get her a piano. She's somewhere between grade 5-7. The budget is somewhere below £1K and ideally it'll be a compact design - it needs to be a maximum depth of 60cm and the shorter the better, south of 130cm.
I've been advised to look out for something like a secondhand Yahama B1 or Steinmayer S108 as it fits the budget and would fit better in our house. I've also scoured eBay but being a novice myself I'm wary of buying something that might be shit.
However, a few people have also said that for this budget I could get a new digital piano that would be easier to put in the house (and could go in our much more spacious loft) and probably sound comparable to a budget piano. My concern is the wife has always been very anti-digital, although I don't think she's played digital pianos as much as keyboards.
Anyone got any recommendations? I'm really tempted to just drop the surprise and take her to a few stores and showrooms and get her to pick - we'll end up with something she is more likely to play that way.
-
Don't play personally, but my mother and gf do. They've both said good things about Yamaha Clavinovas - a much more lifelike feel than a straight keyboard (weighted keys etc) and have very good sound. The one I've seen sits on a robust stand but can be dismantled for transport (you have to disconnect the pedals but that's easy) and has a good music stand integrated.
-
If she wants a real piano, get a real piano! If you're South this place is great:
A1 Piano: Address: 112 Kirkdale, London SE26 4BG Phone:020 8291 9842
They have loads including plenty of compact size ones and some free to a good home.

had a hardware sesh today using Watkins Copicat tape delay as send/return through mixer, running TR-8, TB-3 and Korg MS20 through it - pushing the red!
