  1. Check the Vulf compressor if you haven't, especially if you work on Dilla style backpack music. I use their "MidSide" for using 2 channel hardware processors to do MS processing back itb. There are others out there, some free, but I prefer this or the Mathew Lane stuff for the added features. And while no one on the planet gets excited about dither, their dither plug in is fantastic for it.
  2. Thanks, Lar... the only one I was missing was Dusty Racks #3, so now I can get my Roland 880 on...
  3. Quiet, you. Before you ruin Christmas in h'Murica!

    UAD Microphones

    The first reason that comes to my mind is that the Townshed Sphere mic system will be in direct competition with them. That said, I've enjoyed Bock's work since Soundelux. With UAD, I'll expect them to be overpriced, or striped way down and sold as a great value. I'm guessing overpriced.
  5. I'm curious if Fleer has any thoughts on updating this plug in in the future.
  6. They do have an upgrade path. https://shopify.wavedna.com/pages/liquid-rhythm-downloads Not sure if it's any better than this offering though.
  7. I've shopped around several times. Koby @ Every Plug in is the winner.
  8. Fender Custom Shop Texas Special Strat Pickups 30% off for Members, free to join. $189 plus tax, free shipping, and $15 in store credit for members. Price shown only in cart. (was $269.99) I consider these a great upgrade for a made in mexico strat. They are pretty hot and gritty. More SRV comes to mind.
  9. Thanks! Copped it to get Space Station off the Audiority site for 29 schemekles.
  10. Arrived. I grabbed the one I ordered for $39 that's supposed to be a 16 terrabytes SSD labelled "16T", plugged it in and everything seems to be working fiALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US!!! I kid. I went offline and plugged the drive into a macbook and opened disk utility. So I formatted the drive and named it "Walmart Scam" then did a 'get info' on the drive. It looks to be the correct capacity. So I copied over a 20gig file from my desktop, because I wanted to exceed 16gigs in case that was the scam. It did copy over, so the capacity is at least over 20 gigs. There's no way this is a proper USB 3.1 SSD (see below) by real world standards. Extremely slow. Like, well over an hour to transfer the 20gb file. USB2.0 at best. Seriously, this is the slowest drive I've used in the past 30 years. I'll include AIT tape backups with that. I notice no difference in speed changing cables types (USC-C etc). Basically feels like a very slow flash drive. There's zero chance of seriously recording to these- I tried. Sometimes when I plug in the drive it takes an extreme time to mount, and can even cause weird things like system hangs. I was hoping at worst, they are large capacity slower drives that I could backup projects on and upcharge the labels for. I'll probably just return them all but I'll probably sleep on it. Kinda tempted to pop one open in the interest of science, but I'm guessing it'll be like the youtube already posted.
  11. #1: This is the power of the magnet of the speaker. -12 Wb to +12 Wb range. I think of it like a "tone" parameter that can add a solidness to things. You can also change the magnet element between Ferrite M, Ferrite H, AlNiCo and Neodymium. #2: Yeah, I guess. I look at it for two things... "backing off" when things are sounding unintentionally broken especially with an old speaker chosen that has sweet tone but breaks apart when the guitar playing gets too rambunctious, and for making things sound intentionally broken, like what'd I'd expect from The Kinks or something. Distortion like this is so subjective, you'll need to just eff with it and see if it's for you. I like it. A nice non-guitar based application- I use this pushed on 808 bass mults from time to time with a HPF when I'm having difficultly getting them to translate on smaller speakers. I demo'd this in session at a big Sound Motel, and everyone in the room was stoked with the sounds we were getting, so I bought it (on sale but more than this) instantly. For people working from a home studio, or a place without the ability to record guitar speakers properly - this should be even more useful. Watch the youtubes, demo it yourself, and you should know if it's worth it to you. It's more for tone chasers, imo.
  12. Jumpin' Heysues on a pogo stick... Old 16TB drive for $37? In for cancellation.
  13. Thing is, I love hoarding the tuners because I'm often in a foreign "sound motel" and if a tuner isn't handy, I just install that on their rig and leave it. The fact that ProTools doesn't have a built in tuner, or at least a plug in, is so dumb.
  14. To compare... If you have used the VLB902, the Lindell works a lot harder than the LRS version, so you'll have to dial back the mix knob on the Lindell if you want similar results. I like the Lindell better. The VLB is slightly smoother on the super top end (like, beyond the threshold of hearing). If you listen to the detector on the Lindell, the volume will change if you adjust the range. This doesn't happen on the LSR Audio version. The Lindell is much more like the hardware in my experience. Simple, quick dessing. It does work at 384kHz, if you are a psychopath that works at that sampling rate. There's stupid "noise" feature I quickly turn off. It oversamples to 16X. You can resize it, sidechain into it, and change the calibration of it.
  15. Meter on this thing can hit your CPU harder than expected. I only use the meter when I need to. Sounds like a DBX902 to me. Slightly improved on the VLB 902 from LSR sonically, who must've done this version, and the added features are welcome. No brainer at $29.
  16. New Year's Resolution... dig deep into all this "DynIR" voodoo.
  17. It's back here: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1567589-REG/audio_technica_at2020v_at2020_limited_edition_chrome.html/SID/e8c186a668db11ec9be2363f2c00ba5d0INT I copped one. It WILL get fingerprinted with the shiny chrome, but I do prefer it to the black. Lots for me to like; looks good, great 'bang for the buck' sound, compact which is great cause it'll be one of my travel mics.
  18. It's all a conspiracy perpetrated by the Industrial Harddrive Complex. #staywoke
