This is complete bollocks. Not enough knobs and sliders on this one, it would be like tweaking a vst but on a smaller display. I honestly don't give much of a crap what the interface is on something as long as it sounds good i'll find a way to make it work. What i'm getting bored of is the analog c...

My job for the last few years has required me to look for a good vinyl mastering house since Ron Murphy died.

The main 2 things that tend to wear out on it are the screen and the slider. the slider is cheap to replace bu the scre...

limiters are great and can be very creative. imagine a delay with such a big feedback it'll clip, but you like the sounds that its making just before the clipping. Put a limiter on it and it won't clip anymore. Or... you have a synth and it sound is massive when its deeply lp, but when you touch th...
