Yo mips man - I got them today. I think theyre okay. I dont have any sound at the moment so I cant see how far it jumps when i change the pitch, but i done the first test. There are 4 lines of circles - 3 lines of little circles and 1 line of big circles. The 3rd line is the line with the big circles and they never move when the green light is on. Whether its 33rpm or 45rpm. They never move but the other circles - the little dotles the top 2 are going backwards whereas the bottom line are going frontwards. 3rd line stays the same though. That means they're okay right? They dont have to go into surgery :'(

yup that seems all good

Just traded off a drum machine I never meant to acquire for a kawai k4!

8O 8O 8O That looks so amazing and comfortable! Whohooo, i'd even sleep in this room, so fucking excellent it looks! Thanks Ben!

i just bought a focusrite liquid mix - aceness compressor/eq dsp card - just tried the distressor emulator on a snare with an old pultec eq - fuckin awesome results! :)

also, have just bought a spring reverb tank for making my own spring reverb - loosk quite complicated to set up through my desk but once its done its gonna be ultimate rawness - oh yes :D

Could you link a pic of it?

Well another question is: I need some sound card recommendations and I believe you're quite a good persona in charge. What's your advice? A good price-performance ratio would be fine.

Btw, do you have some new tunes in petto?

sure man - heres the focusrite: http://www.focusrite...uct/liquid_mix/

good sound card - hmm - do you need lots of inputs/outputs? i use the emu 18/20m which has 8 ins and outs (with the pro-tools converters - nice) which is suitable for me to run stuff out to my desk. it was about £450 when i bought it though...

are you using it as a PCI card or firewire based?

oh, and as for new tunes - ive been really busy with college at the minute (should be writing my dissertation right now tut tut haha) - but im producing a funk band called baby charles at the moment:

www.babycharles.co.uk

we've done all the tracking, i just need to mix it now. its scheduled for a release in october on record kicks, the label that puts andy smith of portisheads compilations out. very exciting! :)

Well, hmmm haven't had much analog instruments to plug until now, but it could change someday. At the moment (or for years now) i only have an onboard soundcard (simple thing). Is a firewire solution better than onboard? Ahm, the ins: are these basically midi-ins?

Man 450pds??? That's frickin' much money for a simple mind producer like I am. Maybe something in between.

You're becomming a doc in music production???? Really???

Will have a look on these sites this evening.

ah ok, to answer your questions:

you def need to get a soundcard with asio drivers in them. the ins/outs i refer to are audio ins and outs, not midi.

if you can get a pci card over firewire - pci will always perform quicker though firewire is acceptable these days - if i had a laptop i would get firewire, but with my desktop i always prefer pci.

for a cheaper alterntive m-audio do a good range - if your not sending multiple audio channels out of your soundcard into a desk something like the audiophile 192 would prob do you.

as for being a doc haha not quite though i will be able to put BA after my name, should i choose to. (i wont ;)) only 4 weeks till my course s finsihed! 4 years, ill miss it when its gone but i wont miss the 8000 word essays :(

i should but its FUCKING boring

just stuck simons bass thrugh a drawmer 1176 tube compressor emulator...

*boner*

boner?

have you turned into a sceptic or something?

......sorry I came over all xenophobe there. must be spending too much time on this forum.

next thing I'll be calling people a newb or whatever it is. grrrrrrr god that word makes me feel ill.

as for the liquid mix. it sounds proper.

I was actually thinking/perving about the options that gives you/us today. especially being able to run multiple instances of it.

I am actually quite excited. which is worrying ;)

ha!

its pure porn lad.

did u read that gabriel roth article i sent you? well funny... - i tried emulating his roll bottom end off before tape trick today with the vintage warmer - bloody worked as well! the vintage warmer responds like tape would. not as good of course. but still, all gravy.
