Oops... (Duende PCIe)
Looks like someone jumped the gun on the Duende PCIe announcement. They even had the tact (or distinct lack thereof) to put up the letter SSL sent to them instead of coming up with their own copy. "Since that time…

Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!!
My rather eccentric music taste makes me kind of easy to pin down, I think. Witness: there are exactly four artists that currently release records that I actually get a little excited about. Those four artists are…

iDunno...
There seems to be some sort (or several sorts) of electronic music making device here, but color me retarded if I can't figure it out. Someone here must be able to explain this. I have the distinct feeling this is one…

I made me one of them-there records...
My fifth album as Micronaut, Callisto, is now available for purchase in shopPOSI.Download only, as you recall we gave up pressing CDs for Lent. The download comes in the form of either an "alt-preset-standard" VBR MP3…

soniccouture Balinese Gamelan sample set mini-review...
Let me state from the outset that this is a really nice package. Normally, when you get a multiple-hundreds-of-dollars sample set, the company producing it takes the whole "well, you're paying for the samples, not the…

Lil' Dipper...
Judging from the comments in the last post, this is obviously something that like eight people find interesting, so I just thought I'd throw my mock-up up so you can see what the hell I'm up to. In spinning around in my…

Fluid Update and other stuff...
Just a quick note that Fluid has been updated to 1.1 on both PC and Mac to fix the "filter issue" that many people complained about. I wanted a low-cut on the chorus because it sounded a bit muddy to my ears, and it was…

P-Pop goes the weasel, the weasel...
\[Embedded media, no longer available.\] Outstanding ping-pong ball + wine glass robotic orchestra. Via Makezine. Go see it in person at 186 Orchard st. in NYC. Don't know if they've programmed any 3rd Bass in it, but…

Interstitial is the new warehouse...
My vote for quote of the century (so far; the century is only 8% over, so there's hope yet): "Did you know you can rent a generator for $52 and set up and play ANYWHERE until the cops come?" That, in any of itself, is a…

Oddities of The Modern Age...
I'm working on the cover art for the upcoming Micronaut album today, and it got me thinking about how incredibly strange this business has become in the last three years. I mean, here I am, making a 300dpi front image…

A Couple Thoughts On Feature Requests...
There's this thread over on KvR which got kinda silly yesterday. We have (or "had," rather) one customer who is ("was") somewhat incensed that we didn't add a particular feature to Ricochet, and despite the fact that I…

If you were ever curious, the difference between "cool" and "fool" is...
Maaaaan, I dunno about Antares any more. When they put out that Kantos plug, I was like "okaaay... you guys need to stop running the UIs through committee." I mean, nice idea and all, but damn. They just released Voice…

May I Hate On AudioUnits Some More?
This whole thing with Apple development is actually getting fairly confusing, to where we're no longer entirely sure what the fuck is going on. It's patently obvious that Apple never knew what the fuck was going on, so…

The 10 Commandments Of Grindhouse...
So, there are at least seven distinct forms of house music that I can discern. Unfortunately, none of them does what I want right now, so I've taken it upon myself to invent a new sub-genre, which we will call…

Poll...
Question of the day: Is FLAC... (a) Just stupid by itself? (b) An example of how people that don't understand audio should stay away from making programs for converting formats? (c) An example of how FOSS software…
