ScopeRise #24 and Beyond

After Issue #24, ScopeRise will go unscheduled. Instead of every 3 months, it will be just whenever enough articles are ready to make a new issue. The main reason for this is time (I need more of it to make music).
However, please keep article content coming, as its not the preparation of user content that's taking the majority of the time, its the research time for making new articles from scratch that is more time consuming.
By contributing, you can help bring the next issue a bit closer, so keep those good ideas and content coming ! I anticipate an Issue #25 by early 2015.
Now back to Issue #24 (coming in a few days). We have a follow up to Dawman's Solaris experience now 3 years down the track, lift the lid on the inspiration behind the HPM devices, reveal a weird technique for using VST mastering plugins, and check out a new SDK reference. Our beer boy Bud Weiser gives some points to look out for when shopping for master keyboards, we take a first look at the DAS AI Compressor and we revisit a couple of Scope classic items in the Luna IO box and the Room (surround) Reverb.
Issue #23 can be viewed here :

thanks, I'm going to be spending a bit of time adding the latest tips from here to the various articles, and fixing up a few other thangs. Anyone see any omissions let me know.

Thanks a lot for Scoperise, Dante ! It's a Scope knowledge mine !
Without Scoperise, I would be lost with a lot of devices such as SC-plate reverb & its sisters, RMX 160 and many other...
But yep ! Don't lose to much time and make music !

Thanks Dante, as said time ago your effort on this platform is very precious

What about a random issue every new article is done instead of waiting for the usual bunch of 8 articles?
You can always advise here in PlanetZ and every 8 new articles reached you can also advise via classic email newsletter, if this is the problem.
In this way could be everything more dynamic.

Yes I'm thinking of prereleasing article by article to the master index, then the newsletter would just go every eight one as normal.
Something like that.
Good idea

Yes, less "latency" in this way... an ULLI Hitfoundry website!

Yes, I have an idea brewing... Something like, for the first 2 - 3 weeks after release the latest issue cover page would be shown as per now.
But after that, a 4 column newspaper type layout would take its place at main URL, showing a newspaper like heading 'SCOPERISE' at top followed by the latest couple of articles, the oldest being replaced by the latest to come online.
People who wanted to see the latest would have to visit the page a bit regularly or main author could notify a new article here on PZ if it was about something they had done.
There could be a soundcloud bar of the month, you know, like dawman or group of light's latest, then the bottom 2 rows would be scrollable latest 2 issues like the current 8 across archive layout.
Doing this is a different way of working, because currently I may have only a couple of articles complete with 6 in progress, rushing the last 6 at or after proofread time.
It may mean that the pre-released articles are a bit raw and not proofread or entirely complete, until the end of the normal cycle. I and co-authors would have to take more care about typo errors etc at this pre-release 'showing' stage.

Thank you Dante and everyone who contributes and has contributed. This is a gem of a resource for all of us. I refer to it all the time and there is always something new to learn and try out. I want to add that this forum is unique among forums. I always feel like I'm hanging with old friends. Consider how many have been here faithfully for so long, most for well over a decade speaks for itself.
