I agree for the most part. Though in my case I don't think my tastes settled by my 20s. Due to the early 90s recession and record stores going out of business, I wound up going around and buying up 1,000s of tapes and LPs that they were all getting rid of and selling for $1 for 4, and as a result greatly expanded by musical vocabulary. I started getting into things like Mahavishnu orchestra and Weather Report and so on in the early 90s and thing went on from there. But there are some artists whom captured by tastes when I was 15 or 16 and I have remained a life long fan of them -- Ry Cooder and Rolling Stones and so on. A lot of the "pop" acts that I was eposed to in my teens I avoid. Queen was one. They had just gotten on the charts with The Works and were all over Radio .. and I remained a fan thru to the The Miracle record .. and to today I get mental jerks when I hear their music. It just reminds me of my 15 year old self and cheese 80s rock. Same with Bon Jovi and others. But not AC/DC for some reason. I too am a much bigger fan of 70s rock music and styles even thought I wasn't exposed to it until much later in life. But my parents didn't think to the 70s bands I got into .. they mostly listened to crappy disco and shit Ferrari band. In the 90s I was a fake alternative goth. I mostly was in it because my friends were hard core Ministry and NIN fans.. but I would go home and play Todd Rundgren and Utopia records all day long. There was this forgotten 80s movie which depicted an alternative club and that stayed with me forever. I even think a lot of the alternative clubs I used to go to in Toronto in the 90s looked exactly like this. There are no alternative clubs in Toronto anymore. Just a crappy retro 80s goth night at this swanky restaurant place that happens once every other month. Toronto is all coffee shops and over priced millennial swanky restaurants with Drake raptors fans now.

They make great stuff. Ever since I got it I use nothing else..

Thanks all. Right now i am using EZkeys with Cubase's Chord Track and Player. I will check scaler out.

Just wondering.. how does it compared to EZKeys?

what does it do different?

I don't believe you can apply term "quality" to culture or music. Its all personal taste.

makes sense to me. they are NI company.

I watched that BBC synth show. It's cool but I am not sure if they are maybe sensationalizing a very niche music for a modern audience that is into 80s retro. I was there and I can tell you for a fact the Human League, Cure, New Order and Depeche Mode were not bands lots of people listened to. I think it's worth looking at the collection of songs on soundtrack compilations to get a better gauge of what mainstream culture was like back then and then look closely at how the collection of artists changes over time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/An_Officer_and_a_Gentleman#Track_Listing_(Original_Record) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flashdance_(soundtrack)#Track_listing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_Gun_(soundtrack)#Track_listing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Who's_That_Girl_(soundtrack)#Track_listing (Note sure about the last one as that was basically a big Madonna promo vehicle. ) The great bands and great albums that stood the test of time were far and between. As a little kid listening to pop music and popular culture in early to mid 80s .. what I remember was the adults (my parents) were still partying it up to lots of established acts that came out of the late 70s disco days.. as per below. So you were exposed to that sort of stuff as a kid... and of course MJ and other big mainstream culture bands. I think things changed with Live Aid as it catapulted a lot of old bands into the spotlight and into mainstream consciousness. I remember as a teen that being the first time I saw what members of the Rolling Stones, Who and Led Zeppelin looked like and I was like .." okay.. so what the big deal with these guys? What's so great about them -- I don't get it." And then Pete Townsend falls flat on his ***** on stage LOL!! It wasn't until a few years later when I started delving into their back catalog as the major record companies started re-releasing the old catalog that I figure it out. For me a lot of 80s was big hair and shoulder pads

Yup.. that's exactly what I am thinking.. it's either supposed to be an alien planet or...

I still think when she left Rufus she went downhill. Her solo records never really did reach the same level of groove with session musicians.

I think Emmylou fired her manager after this one. "Why am I singing my ballad in front of a naked chick you a-hole!! "

I really don't get the whole 80s retro revival obsession thing. It really was a shitty decade. All I remember was the shoulder pads and big hair. And Reagan.

you watch this stuff and wonder has music performance gotten much worse in modern times

U-he make good stuff. But I am passing. I have yet to find time to properly master pigments and padshop.

yup. useless.

i think hive uses less CPU.

Yup. $19 is the magic number baby!

They bought Sonnox? https://focusrite.com/en/news/sonnox-joins-focusrite-group?utm_campaign=Sonnox&utm_medium=email&_hsmi=238674802&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-_AgMPYRSzdXxF6qtzUMHWYWjFQGX-GE4A9PTHtlynes_9Zhkee4ZGNnQIglCEjHjrqovCtS2smVP1jxZE0Pcz6s-e9Nw&utm_content=238674802&utm_source=hs_email

tempting.

Welcome back. We were just taking about this today with some guy and this is why they recommend going to Nashville. Its just as good as Vegas but not as big a walk between bars.

What do you think of the collection in Cinematics? I also have spectrum packs. Don't really use them that much unfortunately. But $10 for 150 sounds pretty good. IIRC, I was paying around $5 to $7 for present packs of 32 and 64 when on sale before.

Got it. Wuped for free.

Should we be trying to see if we can find these.on clearance somewhere?

wallet safe. i am not in the EZMix system. But this does look really cool. It would be total time saver and I can see the benefit.

Just sharing for posterity. I am big into weird guitar tones. Its a phaser. Seems to show up as discounted by 25% and no tax. https://www.musiciansfriend.com/stupid https://www.pigtronix.com/pedals/phase-ranger/
