So, here I am in Phoenix, and we have a report of an issue with Replicant and Numerology 2. No big deal, really, but I have some down time, and I thought I'd take a quick gander and see what's what. So, I download and…
Here's to all the Australian and Japanese (and Taiwanese and Korean, I guess) AI readers who are already in to Christmas. Or whatever the analog is in your country/culture/ethnic subset. Merry Whatever! While we're on…
There's an article by Matt Safford in the latest issue of PC Mag on the subject of Creative Commons that quotes me extensively (read it here) which you might find interesting if you're in to the whole CopyLeft scene…
I hesitate to use the term "vacation," because it implies that relaxation will be involved. I don't think that will be the case. We're leaving for Phoenix tomorrow for the Holidays, then to Los Angeles to visit my…
I suppose if you're gonna be really, really good at something, it might as well be bayan, right? I mean, I'd rather be good at playing a bayan than, say, insurance adjusting or something. This fellow, Vitaly Dmitriev…
Here is a fun little toy that should keep you occupied for 10 minutes or so. SFXR was created to make sound effects for a video game programming competition. It is a simple little stand-alone synth with a few presets…
Weirdly coincidental, today we find out about the Chimera bC16, which is a lil' analog synth, and the TechnoMage Life 2. Although, for what it's worth, the L2 is more of a half-a-sphere than a puck, but anything for a…
I have a Silvertone archtop which I love, love, love. Of the dozen-odd guitars I have, it is my favorite. I've been thinking of electrifying it again; the pickup had been removed when I purchased it. It obviously had…
Santa, please send me someone that will sell me the following: Roland EP20 : I know, I know, but I want one, and that's that. Hohner Pianet N or T : Ditto. Yes, I'm still looking for one that isn't priced so fucking…
Ricochet We received a total of 493 name submissions. Unfortunately, about 450 of them were some permutation of the word "tap" and thus automatically ruled out. The most common submissions, tied at 56 each, were…
Adam and I were talking about something or other, and our talk naturally turned to keytars, as it is prone to do, and I recalled that I had seen Oingo Boingo on the very tour filmed above, and the bass player played…
I was somewhat startled to receive a license request (as in a request to license music) in the info@audiodamage.com email in-box this morning. Actually "confused" would be a better word. We get a lot of license…
I'm just finishing up work (for the second time, natch) on my latest Micronaut album, Callisto, which once again brings us to the somewhat painful subject of home mastering. I can, of course, afford to send my albums…
I might be a little behind the times here, but I've recently discovered this new(ish) genre called Grime, which is intriguing me. My 10-second review of the entire genre: play a 45-RPM D&B record at 33, and run the…
Here's a screenshot of our next product, a multi-tap delay with the usual Audio Damage twist on things. But there's a slight problem. The name we had chosen for this product, "WireTap," is already in use. The product in…
