My daughter's super in to figure skating, and for her first program she wanted to use Under the Sea from the Little Mermaid. (hardly a surprise) So I was to edit the thing down to 1:30 or so, no problem. It was kind of fun getting back in to the editing game as I've done for decades for dance teams,...

Oh right, I think I made a mistake the Track 9 review up top was actually for Track 10. I miscounted because I actually missed Track 9! Track 6: Yes, the guitar playing and the tonality combined does really make this one stand out. It wasn't concrete, but I could pick out that there was more to it t...

Just started listening.. track 1 and I'm already blown away! Always nice to hear well composed music, like reading excellent prose. Nice voicing on the DX7-like bell tines which makes it sound non-cheesy and luxurious! Oh, and a bass solo. Lovely sound of the bass itself. Not sure if the DX7-like ke...

looks like a lot of fun. I think modular's the way to go to really understand synth programming, modular or not. Most importantly I think modular helps cultivates the ability to focus on particular aspects of the sound, as you're tweaking individual knobs, which then helps when you're dreaming up a ...

"Average people dancing commented on the Horn section work."

LOL, average people dancing actually hearing any element of the music is a laudable accomplishment.

I think the mix is fine, the point of the composition comes through quite clearly. I supposed it could be improved but the rest is just dressing I think. But I think the most important thing is that you're hearing something different in your head, which either compositionally or from a mixing perspe...

Gloriously powerful! It's sort of like that moment when you win so hard it hurts. This is like that moment stretched to last 8 minutes. You've won, you're like driving your opponents into the ground face first, paving over them with cement, building a memorial "WIN" cathedral on top of tha...

looks like a very thoughtful mix. With the digital additions, the full analog path almost seems like an option, though with DSP effects I'm not sure how the signal path can be full analog. (maybe you turn it off?) Programmable osc definitely sounds interesting, though I get the feeling stuff like th...

I think it's a smart move. Not specifically the synth itself or the fact that it's analog, but the fact that they're going for a more open interactive (at least it appears so) development process. That's straight out of contemporary startup dev style, building a community, doing PR, and market valid...

Checked out the opus page. I wouldn't call the graph exactly scientific, but perhaps the test may have been to see if Opus at 64bit could eclipse mp3 at 128bits in terms of quality. From the graph, I gather that Opus degrades much more forgivingly as the bit rate drops. The "quality" y axi...

It's an interesting move. IMHO being on the side of using SoundClound as a broadcast point would prefer support for better quality, but within the mass streaming and hyper mass consumption, the users may care less, as Sounddesigner points out. From SoundCloud's perspective though, it's puzzling what...

what makes this weather difficult is that it takes a good long while for the car to warm up. I've gone to the car early to warm it up before picking up the wife and kids, but 5-10min doesn't even do anything. And the handle is so cold I need to wear gloves! But there is this sense of I'm not going t...

interesting, so the punji has 2 pipes

Happy new year to everyone! PlanetZ's remained a hyper-informed, hyper-talented group of musicians that I have a lot of respect for. You guys have heard all my experiments and brain dumps, and I'm quite happy to have a respectable group to share the experience with, learn from, and be inspired by. [...

that's an awesome group of instruments! wow, did I just see a sonar jammed through a.. pear? It's impressive you got any serious sound out of a sonar, those things are hard to play!

hah, this is awesome. So much style, so much flavor.

Awesome project Marco! Nice classy arrangement, and a great voice.

More attention grabbing would be seemingly contradictory combinations, like Harps From Hell, or Satanic Choir. (well, that might actually be desirable) Urban Phat Chamber Strings Quintet, Solo Sitar Ensemble, The Real American Erhu Section, Symphonic Kalimba, Full Analog Drumkit with Chia seeds, Fai...

8DIO? Let me guess, it's going to be like "Armageddion Clavinets" or "Genesis Clavinets" or some insanely epic name.. Oh ok, "Vintage Piano Series".. what, that actually makes so much sense I'm confused.

Nice, that's one less headache for you. I'm surprised you're in to vibes. They're cool but I never really go in to playing vibes. Their electromagnetic piano series sounds great too. I've long tried to convince myself that I could jam the hell out of a wurly, but was never able to. I'm much more in ...
