I too am also now officially a Professional owner of Professional gear. Now that it's all hooked up I'm thinking maybe I should lower the Presonus 1u in the rack and put the cheap Monoprice 1u cable management thing I have lying around above it to keep the patch bay a little less hard to reach. EDIT: WAAAY more Professional now, I should get a job with Coldplay.

I've had NFTs on my mind this morning and I keep coming back to the old saying "fashion is always last to the party." -

The free TAL stuff is good: https://www.kvraudio.com/product/tal-reverb-iii-by-togu-audio-line https://www.kvraudio.com/product/tal-reverb-4-by-togu-audio-line Ambience is good: https://www.kvraudio.com/product/ambience-by-smart-electronix Valhalla Supermassive is really good for very, very long reverbs: https://www.kvraudio.com/product/valhallasupermassive-by-valhalla-dsp Voxengo's free reverb is old and basic but it has a nice sound for some stuff, too: https://www.voxengo.com/product/oldskoolverb/ There are a couple Airwindows reverbs that are Airwindows reverbs, they can sound very good but they're also weird.
-
I usually put Airwindow Capacitor before the reverb on my reverb sends (even hardware sends sometimes), solo the send and then set the HP and LP by ear that way first and fine tune them in context after that. Speaking of, Chris fixed the compatibility issues with the latest MacOS for all his stuff last week.

This is still one of the best sounding free reverbs: https://www.kvraudio.com/product/orilriver-by-denis-tihanov Whatever reverb you use, remember that if it includes EQ/tone controls they're usually post reverb, but one of the most important things you can do with reverb is to put an EQ on the dry signal before it hits the reverb. If nothing else, highpassing somewhere around 200-600 Hz and lowpassing in the 10k to 15k range pre-reverb almost always makes it sound much better in the mix. Lows in particular almost never need to be there, unless you have some kind of big, Vengelis-y synth solo going on and even they you probably don't need much below 100Hz.

Sounds like basically what happened to me, right down to the Synthcart. I got one of the originals for my birthday from my girlfriend at the time but didn't learn about the Midi one until it was too late. There's actually an Atari 2600 sound chip Midibox variant now but a partal kit is over $100 and I don't really care that much. https://modularaddict.com/tia-atari-2600-synth-cartridge-partial-kit

The final firmware for the MidiNES sounds like it was really good but they're so hard to come by (and expensive now) in any version that the odds of finding someone who could make an image of it to upgrade an earlier version is pretty low.
-
Which MidiNES version do you have? I traded a fuzz pedal for one years ago but it's one of the earliest versions (1.0.2 or something), from before they even had a proper label, and unfortunately it doesn't have the wavetable scanning that's probably the must unique feature of the final version, plus it has the bug where some of the onboard samples were trimmed wrong and play a millisecond or two late. I know it's a huge ask, but if you had the last version AND had the confidence and equipment to desolder the EEPROM and rip a .bin of it... OTOH I never actually tried to contact the original developer, maybe if I can track him down he'd send me one.

Do it yourself crew in the house?
TubularCorporation replied to lala's topic in EKT General Discussion
It took over 3 weeks and half a dozen email exchanges between when Mouser sent me a shipping confirmation and when it actually left their warehouse, but my transformer finally showed up today so other than choosing a connector type and mounting them on the front panel, I've got the power supply for a big enough 12v Serge system that it will take me at least 2 years to actually build it, probably 3. Also need to hook up the second channel, move the LEDs off-board and get some connectors for the terminals I've got the transformer secondary soldered to now, to make it easier to disconnect the board if I ever need to work on it.

That looks pretty interesting, too bad it's iOS only.

Tax returns are all in and a friend of mine is coming today to pick up my old electronic drum kit. He wants a couple days to make sure it all works before he actually buys it but that will put me over the threshold to getting the Studiolive 32r, if he pays me soon enough I should be able to get it before next weekend.

Anyway, an analogy to pre-Internet times is that livestreaming is like busking, doing prepared Youtube content is like doing Guitar Center clinics.

That's OK, if you're doing "marketing yourself on the Internet" right then you're doing "being a human being" wrong.

Any thoughts about music libraries?
TubularCorporation replied to justanotheruser's topic in EKT General Discussion
I know about library music more as a listener/record seller but the impression I always got was that the good library labels had a pretty thorough vetting process, a relatively small stable of artists, and weren't that much different from trying to be signed by any other label in that regard. KPM being one of the most iconic, of course 9although they completely contradict that last thing I said by not working as a label at all; you would pretty much have to start your own single-artist label and try to license through them). Maybe a good start would be to look at their list of labels/libraries they do licensing for and use those as a jumping off point: https://form.apmmusic.com/composer-submission/ Anyway, in the music business I would be very skeptical any time someone solicits something from you.- 1 reply

I'm just waiting for FPAA tech to get to the point where you can just load a component-accurate, analog synth onto an IC like firmware and swap it for a totally different synth at will. It's not too far off. I mean, it's already here and has been here for a long time but they're still pretty niche and basic. What I'm looking forward to is something ZRNA's longer term goal, which is an Axoloti-based hybrid digital/FPAA analog platform, but with the option of a good hardware UI that doesn't need to be developed by the end user. So essentially something in the Nord Modular paradigm except modern and with analog operators available alongside the digital ones. That's when we'll be at the best-of-both-worlds point between hardware/software and analog/digital.

I think I'm going to pick up one of these cheap-ass Wal Mart tablets later this year and use it as a dedicated mix controller with Duet Display.

Have you ever used an arpeggiator? It's like that but deeper. Or played with a band, algorithmic composing is like using a computer to simulate the part of the night when the drummer is just drunk enough but hasn't gotten TOO drunk yet.

Haven't tried it yet but I just learned about this the other day, sorry if it's already in the thread somewhere: https://stochas.org/ -
Experiences with Zoom HN4 Recorders
TubularCorporation replied to ghOsty's topic in EKT General Discussion
I think you can even do basic 4 track overdubbing on it, right? The h5 has that but I've only used it once, when I had to record in a tiny bedroom and couldn't control the fan noise enough. saved a stereo mix, loaded it on to the H5, turned the computer off, and dd a bunch of takes of the part I needed with the h5 overdub feature, then loaded them all into the original project and comped something together there. The big advantage of the H4N over the H5 is it doesn't have that rubberized finish that tends to break down and get sticky (apparently it's so common that Zoom will replace an out of warranty H5 for free if it goes sticky; mine did but it got almost completely better after a month or two so I didn't bother seeing if that's actually true, although it still gets a little sticky when the weather is humid)
