I released some stuff on cassettes in the late 80s and early 90s. Never. Fucking. Again. I am SO not nostalgic for cassettes.

Hi everyone, Thanks for the replies, these are some really helpful options. Actually, a large portion of our audience (like almost all of it) is probably mid 30s or older (we are too), which is why we're getting the question about a physical disc. I'm thinking of these more as calling cards than as ...

I just finished a recording from an old band. We had originally planned on an all-online release via bandcamp and maybe iTunes, since we no longer exist or live in the same town. But it turns out that almost everyone I have spoken with has expressed interest in a physical copy, and I notice that ind...

One can find a recounting of the "digital audio is bad for humans" myth in PERFECTING SOUND FOREVER, which is a fun read although not always quite right on its historical details. That have been lots of psychoacoustic experiments over the years with all sorts of results. No single experiment proves ...

I've just purchased a refurbed unibody MBPro 15" 2.4 C2D. It should arrive next week sometime. Not sure if its going to be powerful enough for PTLE8, but it is the only model I could find that had an expresscard port to expand the Firewire ports. I'm planning on maxing the RAM up to 6gb and use it ...

I run a 2007 Macbook Pro C2D 2.4, 4G RAM, 500 gig HD + external as my main rig. With convolution,physical modeling or synthesis, it craps out after a few channels of processor intensive stuff. But I could do a big rock mix -- 40 tracks, compressors, EQs, and some delays/reverbs/other processing with...

Switched to A7s from Mackie HR824s three years ago and they just make the midrange a lot easier to mix, and they translate better. I work in a home studio with a bunch of realtraps. So the room is treated but not professionally set up. I do miss some of the deep lows but the Mackies weren't reliable...

Great. When the line is updated I may invest.

Mine was that way too, except "whisper quiet" included the tiniest little whine that was annoying and constant.

I love Altiverb and Speakerphone and I love Live. But I find that the combination and Live 8.1.1 is pretty crashy. I suspect it's an issue with Live 8.1 AU implementation that will be fixed, but the big report I sent to Audio Ease got a "it's something in Live, not us" reply from Peter. Which is fin...

Here I was thinking it was emitting some supersonic frequency that drove away rodents. Yeah, me too. Though actually I read somewhere that Jobs has very sensitive hearing and likes quiet computers. Most of the Macs, aside from those cheese-grater power models, have been pretty damn quiet. Sure, the...

Here's another vote for an electronic edition that works with e-readers. I am not in the US and I travel a lot. I have never had a smooth renewal of my international subscription (every other magazine sends a renewal notice; I have to guess when it's time to renew TO). If I could easily get Tape Op ...

I tend to think firewire is better.

Happy Duet user here but I only need 2 tracks.

That's what a recording BBS is for, isn't it?
