Apple is getting out of hand
it's all a matter of where you go and what you do. I don't spend time on P2P at all (RIAA/MPAA watch p2p and too many virii in the wild) I don't open emails with attachments from people I don't know. All emails are converted to plain text before I read them (outlook does it). The preview...- konceptG

Maxtor Harddrives
I have a pair of Maxtor drives right now. 320GB and a 160GB. My 40GB is by WD. They're all ATA drives and they work fine. Granted, I just got the Maxtors within the last few months, so they had better work fine. Losing data is not something I take lightly, having lost 2 EP's and countless... -
Apple is getting out of hand
'tis true. Steinberg once started development on Cubase and/or Nuendo for SGI's Irix (I used to own an SGI Indy R5000-150/256MB machine) years ago. Woulda been nice to have back in those days. Ardour for Linux and OSX is about as close as you're gonna get. Rosegarden qualifies too, but...- konceptG

Apple is getting out of hand
Hardly. I build a PC, I don't touch it again unless I upgrade something. That's what I call ZERO maintenance. TCO for someone like me is ZERO past the initial investment. I don't worry about virii because I'm smart enough to know how to keep them off my PC FOR FREE (Free AVG Anti Virus keeps a...- konceptG

Apple is getting out of hand
Dell has been shipping 8 core systems for a good while now. The Precision 690 I have here at may desk has the option for up to 8 cores. Mine has two, dual core Xeon's. Specwise, the Precision 690 pretty much demolishes the Mac, and you can configure a far more powerful PC for less money than the...- konceptG

I have the version after yours, black and grey. -
Ever Take Apart Your Midi Controller?
I used to take my sequential boards apart regularly (Prophet 10 and Multi-Trak). The Prophet was a beast to handle, definitely not for the faint of heart. I used to do it to tweak the tuning 'cause it would drift a bit. The Multi Trak wasn't bad at all. I took that one apart once a year to... -
What's you favorite era and genre in non-hiphop related music
1990's Detroit Techno and early '90's House. There's a few 80's pop songs I'll listen to, and a lot of 60's and 70's jazz.- konceptG

Any Dj's on the Site
been rockin a Gemini 626 Pro2 mixer for nearly 10 years now. the thing still works well. Vestax is making the mixers a lot of cats buy, especially battle DJ's. -
asr-x
The last eprom update pretty much resolved the sequencer issues. The Pro has Stomper drum synth built-in (which has always been downloadble for the PC). I've used it on the PC over the years and it's a cool little utility. The internal sounds are very useable, but with the Urban Dance Kit... -
I sold reason, imma buy Sonar 7
I have Sonar 6 PE and it have almost everything I need to make music. I've simply added a handful of VST's/DXi's and I'm solid. I've been using that more than Cubase SX3 lately, but still not as much as FL Studio. -
Is 4 gigs of ram enough.
??? Why not? I have a machine with 512MB RAM that does just fine with VSTi's. 1.3GHz Athlon Thunderbird running XP SP2, Cubase SX3, Kontakt, FM8, Pro53, Attack, M1, Wavestation, and FL Studio among other things. -
Is 4 gigs of ram enough.
btw... 512MB to 1GB is also enough if you know what you're doing. -
Is 4 gigs of ram enough.
in a word, yes. However, it's best to use a 64bit OS to fully utilize that 4GB. Though XP and use 4GB on paper, you need a bit of modification to get it to use over 2GB properly. http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/system/platform/server/PAE/PAEmem.mspx -
Death of Disco aka "Disco D"
yeah... I posted that article in a few places. Dave was a good friend of mine. We had done a few shows together, I sold him the gear he used to record his first EP. He's the reason I got into Pro Tools, and he's the biggest reason I stepped back behind the turntables. He gave me copies of some...- konceptG

Do you still buy Production related Magazines?
I've bought Sound on Sound, Keyboard, Home Recording, Computer Music, Future Music, and Remix. I did by Scratch for a while, but, like everyone else, I started getting pissed when the focus moved from producers to rappers. -
It's Just a Matter of Time...
The SP1200 sounds the way it does thanks to the dirty 12 bit sampling and dac's. Though this doesn't mean that all 12 bit samplers sound crunchy, I had some rather impressive sounding sample sets for the Roland S550 many years ago and I didn't get the 12bit crunch like my boy's S950. With... -
It's Just a Matter of Time...
No. Analog may be hardware, but it's the way that hardware produces sounds that differs from everything else. I've owned a few Sequential boards in my time (Prophet V, Prophet 10, Multi-Trak, and MAX) and the true analog boards have a VST counterpart, NI's Pro52/Pro53. While you can program... -
It's Just a Matter of Time...
When comparing analog to VA, yeah, there's a difference. That said, how many cats out there these days are actively using a Moog, ARP, or Roland Jupiter in their production? Many are using VA synths like the AN1x, Nord, etc or are using the VA sections of their workstations like the Korg MOSS... -
It's Just a Matter of Time...
I'm one of those people that never believed in "All-In-One" type devices. My home stereo's are components (separate tuner, amplifier, CD and/or DVD player, and speakers), my car stereo has components (CD deck, 3 small amps, separate mids and tweeters in the front and rear plus a single 8" sub)...
