It's Aliiiiiiiiive!!!!
Kombinat lives. We spent the day fixing minor quibbles with the UI, and are just about done with that. All that remains is to "de-click" the knobs and add the presets, and the Windows version will be complete, and can…

Dear Mr. Reznor: Thanks for nothin'
I gotta say I don't have a lot of love in my heart of hearts for NIN this particular minute. We (and by "we" I mean the group of people that work in the music industry that aren't insane or blinded by money) have been…

AI DAW Tracking Poll...
This poll will no doubt royally fuck all the RSS readers out there, so if you just see this text and no poll, please take a moment and come to the main site and whack one of the choices. I have a good general idea of…

PowerWhore X-H8
I'm going to give TC about two more weeks, then I'm going to have a brand new PowerCore X8 for sale on the cheap. The amount of time they're taking with Vista drivers is absolutely ludicrous. I have to be honest and say…

Sometimes you eat the bear...
The events of last week have got me thinking in a something-less-than-sanguine manner about the nature of the music industry again. (If you've not been in school lately, I discovered my manager of 14 years was robbing…

Let's Not Talk About Square Waves Any More...
For some reason I thought that topic would be more interesting, but when you get right down to it, all square waves are, well, square. Point taken, and I'll assume my initial instinct was correct. So, new topic, and in…

Let's Talk About Square Waves For A Bit...
I'll have to admit that the sub-sub genre of synthesis largely devoted to mangling your ears via 555 oscillators has never really impressed me. I don't care for the circuit-bent sound too much, although I read Get Lofi…

The Weekend...
When you work at home, the weekend takes on kind of an abstract meaning. The only thing that makes it noteworthy, to me anyways, is that the stores in my town have shorter hours. Since my town has a grand total of four…

Please Hammer, Don't Hurt 'Em...
I always thought "Please Hammer, Don't Hurt 'Em" was the best album name ever conceived. There's literally no reason I would mention that fact in this post other than the mood struck me. I gave my MD and MM a workout…

Sigh.
What was it the President said a couple years ago? "Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, won't get fooled again." Something like that. People that religiously read the comments of this site will no doubt recall…

Some More Scriptorium Tidbits...
Okay, I've spent a little quality time with Scriptorium, Soniccouture's new product which I mentioned a couple days ago. As promised, here's a more sophisticated set of comments. In no particular order: 1\. Tutorial…

synthesizin'
ur doin it rong. Pablo has recently discovered the qualities of analog warmth. Although he didn't get the memo where the "fat" part was supposed to be in the synth, not on it.

Audio Damage Ricochet updated to 1.0.2a on OSX...
We've updated the OSX side of the Ricochet installer to 1.0.2a to fix a bug which prevented Ricochet from working correctly with the FXpansion wrapper in ProTools. If you don't have PT and the wrapper, you don't need…

Open Thread and some other stuff...
I'll start with the other stuff first. I'm going to be looking to book a couple shows for June/July, so if you've got an event/night/whatever that is primarily IDM or experimental electronic music in Seattle, Portland…
