I've got a 1977 Rhodes (Mark I, maybe. Not sure since it was pulled from an Amtrak lounge car and just says "Amtrak" and "Rhodes" on the front). When I'm recording, I just go DI, but I was thinking about picking up one of those new small tube amps (ie. Vox AC4TV, Fender Champion, etc.) for apartment...

Bump for updates. Soundcraft is sold. Added some new things.

Would you be more likely to buy records from bands if they came with a free t-shirt or some other "value added" extras? What would you like to receive for your music dollars? I'm more inclined to buy the record (LP) if it comes with the download. That way I get the physical product for optimal list...

Okay, so maybe music won't get THAT cerebral (har har har), but I think Delany had an interesting invention in "Nova" called the sensory syrynx: a sound, scent and hologram projector. Basically a portable acid trip generator. Back to recording brain waves: With the way our ADD/multi-tasking culture ...

Your gut feeling was correct--the MiniBrute would be an excellent synth to learn on, and the price is right. I would steer clear of a menu based digitally controlled synth like the Alesis and the Mopho for a first synth. The front panel is never what it seems, WYSINotWhatYouGet--this makes them not...

Firewire? Or USB 5.0?

Based on lots of lurking, I've seen the Alesis Ion get high praises. And yeah, I've seen a lot of older stuff get recommended too, but personally I don't really want the potential headache of maintenance when I'm just starting out. The Dave Smith Mopho keyboard looks particularly interesting, if onl...

And I thought Christine McVie just playing an organ on her yacht was indulgent! That reminds me...I oughta fire that documentary up...

My hope is that services like Spotify will bring people back to paying for music. And maybe that's naive of me to say, but that program has brought a lot of people I know away from pirating. Personally, I signed up for premium because I thought it was worth it. And when I find an artist I really lik...

When I'm trying to work out an arrangement in my head, I always think it would be sooo much easier if I could just plug a 1/4'' cable into the back of my skull and hit record.

Looks pretty neat? I don't know much about Arturia's track record, but I've been wanting to dabble with synths. This looks like a good starting point.

Can you post a follow up once you have them? Thanks! I can't speak to any experience with the other monitors you mentioned, but I can tell you that the M2s sound INCREDIBLE. They're being powered by the Adcom 535, sound source is from the Apogee Duet. I too am working in an untreated room (shared a...

My M2s get delivered today! Very excited.

Hey Standup, Yeah, I've got the Monotron, which is neat-o, but have you seen/heard the Monotribe ? Check it out; looks quite exciting. GJ I was going to say desert island item for me would be the Yamaha QY-20 and a ton of AAs (dated sounds, sure, but easy to bash ideas out), but the Monotron looks ...

My favorite is "Oh, you had a fee? I was hoping you were doing this for the music and the experience..."
