    I download when I purchase and then back up to bluray. If I don't have the room now I can always install later from back up when  I do! It's not rocket science

    Disc drives are pretty much dead these days. Modern cases have no room to install them and external units can be expensive, especially for things like BluRay. And because nobody uses them, blank discs can sometimes cost more than memory cards.

    My current rig has 18tb of storage and has room for 4 more hdd and 1 more ssd or no more hdd and 2 more ssd. I never understood why people like to do things the hard way and then blame everyone else

    Just because you can afford a lot of storage doesn't mean everyone else can.

    Yeah, IK's policy of charging customers $10 USD to re-download libraries after 180 days is definitely not a good,, customer friendly,  policy, IMO. I always hoped they'd eventually drop that, but that hasn't happened. 

    But that's not even the worst of it. This time limitation also applies to libraries from free products like Sampletank CS, Syntronik 2 CS and MODO Drum CS. Your free product can literally start costing you money simply because you waited too much to use it.

    It's a gimmick that works for him - I don't think the channel would have taken off at all of it wasn't for "angry metal guy smashes Line 6 Spider" kind of videos. He knows it and he definitely plays up to it. It's kind of sad that you have to resort to a lot of bait-style things like that (not to mention the thumbnail and title clickbait) to get past the algorithms on there, but if this is your livelihood like it is with his, I can appreciate why he keeps milking the gimmick.

    I do get it. I just don't think it does him any favors on a video which is supposed to be serious.

  4. Not only looping doesn't copy the articulations, copying and pasting as well as duplicating doesn't copy them as well. The only way to make that work is applying them to the track, which turns them back into whatever they are, but now you can't convert them back into articulations again.

  5. I did watch the whole video before it was posted here and I feel like it would have been better without the shouty bits. With them, the video doesn't feel as serious as the subject he's talking about requires. Just let go of the grumpy persona (I've spoken to Glenn in his server a few times and he's not like that outside of videos) for 5 minutes and deliver the message.

    Not sure why people still use YouBoob anymore.

    Because that's where all the content and the exposure are. Nobody is gonna move to a platform full of politics extremists and other sorts of nutjobs which were banned from YouTube. And this is precisely the reason why people still use popular social media despite alternatives existing as well.

    I think there is a whole lot of myth related to people thinking that modern ITB synths and samplers sound like and perform like the original Analogue synths. I've owned  a number of them - and there really is no comparison.  This can also cross over into early digital synths.  There is definitely a difference in sound quality in hardware module  compared to an ITB version. Convenience is an awesome selling point  - but there is no apples to apples comparison in sound and resolution. Jim's point is right on the money regarding Tube amps and modelers.  The original versions and designs set the standard.

    There's no way to reliably test that statement or the opposite proponent of that simply because you're not gonna find two examples of the same analog synth which sound the same. There's no reference design to pull from so you can reliably say "X must sound like this in order to be exactly like the original." It's easier with early digital synths, but you're still subjected to variances. The earlier you go, the bigger the variance gets, because now you'll start to hit stuff which was wired by hand instead of being in a circuit board and now you've just introduced extra variances in resistance because of unit A having a path of wire which was cut shorter or longer than unit B. And so on.

  8. As a side note, those BM-800 mics can receive phantom power. If you get just the mic and you have an interface which has phantom power, just use a regular XLR cable instead of that junk that comes with it.

    Seeing someone play it in real time on a rig with at least 9 different physical instruments is a novelty, it's a throwback to Vangelis or Tomita

    Whenever I think of live synth music, I remember a video of Jean-Michel  Jarre live with nothing but synth issues. Synths would stop producing notes mid performance, go out of sync and all sorts of fun stuff. That video used to be on YouTube but I can't find it anymore for some reason.

    My mistake. I guess the manufacturers these days are doing such a good job of emulating the early '80's look that they fooled me!

    They have to otherwise their target audience is not gonna buy them. The cheapest product in that whole thing  are the DFAM + Mother 32 or Subharmonicon combos. And you're paying 1400 bucks for each. You can buy a Studiologic Sledge 2.0 for less than that.

    It raises the question: is the music inherently interesting, or is it only interesting because it's all boutique modules and vintage keyboards?

    None of the synths in the video are vintage.

    Her full setup in that consists of:

    1 One. (large one on her left)
    1 Subsequent 25. (on top of the One)
    1 Subsequent 37. (beside the Subsequent 25)
    2 DFAM. (to the left and right of the Modular.)
    1 Subharmonicon. (under the left DFAM)
    1 Mother-32. (under the right DFAM)
    2 Grandmother. (the two on the right)
    1 Matriarch. (on top of both Grandmothers)
    1 Modular. (in the background)

    Yeah, I'm pretty sure you could get that out of a laptop running just CbB with a copy of NI Komplete Standard and  a 49-key MIDI controller. ;^)

    Why are you assuming I want to replicate the music from a Moog ad? My music is shit, yes, but I have standards.
