Considering that Miles was firmly in a modal music phase at that point, I don't see Jimi's lack of formal training as a hindrance at all. I think he'd be able to hang just fine with Mile's band. Even if Jimi couldn'

I like the thought, but trumpets require a lot of energy to excite them (i.e. you have to blow a LOT of air into a horn just to get a note. Getting an instrument like that to feedback would require a pretty radical system. The difference wi

Yup. FM Synthesis is challenging enough to implement, but doing so on the DX7's interface is a whole other level of frustrating. It's far from the hands-on interfaces of most subtractive or modular synthesizers.

Nice article for engineers to understand something that most guitar players will intuitively know. One of the great things about a hi-gain setup like Hendrix's is how the feedback loop will inject an element of controlled chaos into th

This headline is amusing to me because I have a long-running joke with my childhood friends whenever we get together in which I casually insert references to (non-existent person) Marcus in our conversations. "Marcus couldn't make

The amount of creativity on display here is off the charts. The first time I watched Wave Twisters my jaw was on the floor. It's so playful and fun. There are a few sequences that are so smooth and creative that it makes me angry. Also

I'm a big fan these days of a small crossbody bag (aka a sling bag). MY problem is that the pockets on my pants are too large and loose and I don't want to worry about things absently falling out when I sit. Uniqlo makes a solid o

It never occurred to me that the jokes were oversold. I think the show is genuinely funny, with a very high batting average. Easily one of the funniest shows on television. I sure do miss 'Mrs. Maisel'. What a stellar series.

Yeah. I'll watch it every time.

Funny that this came up today. Last night I started re-watching the series after several years. Just this afternoon I was reflecting on how genuinely charismatic Lee Pace's Joe McMillen is. You really feel it. Even when we know he&#x27

I have a background in bands, producing records, mixing, and designing high end studios, tuning speaker rigs, etc. In my experience, a record has never truly sounded like being in the room with a band. And that's okay. To me, they&#x27

Yes. In my experience, hi-fi enthusiasts almost entirely overlook the importance of addressing acoustic issues caused by the room. The ones that do, often do too little and in ways that are ineffectual. Granted, the space is not easy for pe

I would advise against systems that apply complex EQ curves on the outputs to compensate for distortions caused by the room. These systems can only optimize for a single listening position in the room (the sweet spot). The problems are mult

I agree that the SSL channel strip GUI is deliberate because users want something that operates like the hardware. However, I would love the option to grab the freq knob and have it work like an x/y slider for freq/gain. Sure it m

by Slow_Hand 9mo ago
I use knobs everyday in my audio tools (with my track pad) and they're perfectly fine as long as they have three features: 1. Drag up/down to change value. 2. A modifier key to slow the drag for finer resolution changes when dragg

I had no idea! And I'm learning Javascript, so that's a nice coincidence. I was deep into Max/MSP around 2010 and made a personal vow to leave it alone. The potential to reinvent the wheel and build tools instead of completin

Would love to see this, as someone who has been heavily using Live since 2006 and is finally getting into proper coding in middle-age. Having a way to augment Live in a text-based coding format would be greatly welcome. While I'm not h

While I wouldn't call this scummy I do agree with your sentiment. It is technically stealing and those copyrights should be respected. Full disclosure, I am a career musician AND have been known to pirate material. That said, I think t

The nuance of a skilled player in the moment is a beautiful thing to behold, but saying programmed music isn't "real music" is like saying that film acting isn't real acting, but theater acting is. It's like saying

I've actually tried all of the approaches that you've mentioned over the years, and - for my needs - they're not that compelling at the end of the day. Sure it might be cool to use cellular automata to generate rhythms, or pi

In my experience such people are rare. You can always steer the conversation, give your input, tell them (nicely) to stop talking, or - if they're unwilling to take the hint - walk away.

Yes yes yes. You rarely need to DO anything other than listen. Just be a good listener. Maybe identify handles in what they're saying and then occasionally ask them about them: How did that make you feel? Wait, you did what? Why did
