Whatever. I'll eat weird pizza for sex anyday.

Smashup kicks ass!

I loved the Bitrman and Philtre so much, I had to try the Smashup, which is now my favorite of the three. It's flat out stupid sounding -nothing clean or subtle about it. Reminded me of a distressor in nuke mode - not as clean, but I'm a big fan of dirty. On a send, this will be my favorite effect f...

I had a similar experience - I expressed interest, but he got all squirelly on me when I asked for a trial period. I wrote him off.

Re: PT hacks?

Personally, I wish everything was free - if the only thing that cost money was your home, that would be kick-ass. Want more space to have more stuff? Then you need money. But that would kick ass.

Re: (1-7/8 ips) and (3-3/4 ips) VS. (15 ips and 30 ips)

I won't knock the Marantz 4 track but... we're not talking apples and apples here...the quality of audio cassette tape vs. 1/4" through 2" tape is chemically not in the same ballpark. Next, the amps on a Studer 827 are in a totally different league than what is in your Marantz. Comparing 15/30 ips t...
