I doubt you can run a VST on the Roland any more than you could run MS Word on an IBM Selectric typewriter. VSTs are written to run under a particular operating environment. Windows VSTs won't even run under Linux natively. The Roland has a proprietary operating system, far removed from...

Red and yellow indicate USB 3.2 Gen 2 which is higher speed (SS 10) than 3.1, and supplies more power. I think the difference is whether it supplies power all the time or just with the computer is on (for things like charging your cell phone.) I've only seen a couple of computer with red...

AFAIK, you can run a USB 1 device with USB4. The spec says it's supposed to be backwards compatible. Of course you'll only get USB1 speed, so a limit of about 10MBPS. There are several different connectors, The original ones were type A and type B. Then they came up with the micro and...

Might have been... It was a LONG time ago. My buddy worked there when we started college. I remember he bought a pair of JBL L100s with the money he made at the store. He got the "employee discount" on the speakers and a Crown Preamp. I think he still has both. As for the console, I...

The last time I touched a Model 10 was probably around '71 when I graduated from high school. A local store was a Teac/Tascam dealer and a buddy worked there. They had a room set up with a mixing board, and a tape machine (don't remember which one). There was a tape that someone had...

Interesting.. I never encountered an HDMI that would only go one way. Maybe that was "before my time". I didn't go to HDMI for a long time. My flat screen plasma TV went 18 years, and it had component RGB and VGA inputs and I think there was 1 HDMI. I know that there are some USB cables...

Lighting will have a HUGE effect on the appearance, as will the viewing angle. And, where you get your gold paint makes a huge difference. I had to match quite a few "gold" inks over the years. There are a bunch of different grades of metallic pigment, and each has it's own shade and...

I once tried a very long USB cable with my 16x08 interface but it became a bit glitchy. I think it was about 12 or 15 ft. With a 3 ft cable, things are just fine. Oddly, the long cable worked just fine when I was transferring tracks from my AW1600. I'm not sure what the difference is...

As the song said... I second that emotion! I've got Linux on one machine and rarely use it. There are just too many programs that I use on Windows that aren't on Linux. I have Open Office (actually I use LibreOffice) on both types of machines, plus Reaper. Firefox is on both. But...

One fallacy in some of these comparisons is "set all the knobs to 12:00". That assumes that the various pots are using the same taper. It might be a 100K audio taper, but is it a 15, 25 or 30% taper? That's going to make a big difference. You would need to measure the pots, then mark...

An oldie but goody from Josh.

M'soft probably had complaints from people who would grab the bar by mistake and it would get moved, then they couldn't figure out how to get it back. I've had people say the taskbar just disappeared and they couldn't find it anymore. Turns out that they somehow set "hide the taskbar" and...

If you're really trying to emulate the Mellotron, then you don't need to muck up the sound with vibrato or other effects. That's not something that anyone would do with the original instrument. The pitch control was a means to tune the instrument.

Nah, that wasn't lofi. That was bloody awful! The sound is just "wobbely". Not like vibrato that a real violinist would make. It's just completely off pitch. If that's function of the pitch stability of your cassette deck, you need to take it in for service!

Maybe you should send links to your F1 songs to Sky Sports. It could be their new theme song, as big as "Are you ready for some Football". 🏎️

Dave, you can disable a lot of the notifications. They are a royal PITA!

Don't you just love the way Microsoft manages to "fix" things that aren't broken. "Hey, people are moving things on the screen. They aren't putting them where we decided they should be in our design strategy meetings." "Ok, lets just bury all the controls deep in some obscure menus." "Fine...

I don't think the chorus added much to the samples. The bare samples with just a touch of reverb would be the way to go. The samples already have enough wow and flutter that they don't need any more. The Mellotron was never a "Hi Fi" sounding instrument. It was an easy way to add some...

So, you're really a jazz playing ROBOT, which is several steps above AI and only a step away from the Jetsons! Pretty soon people will assume that everything is an AI fake! Sad! And cool tune, meter.

So it seems to me that it's a simple math problem. Get 100,000 subscribers and make sure they each listen to your tune 200 times... Presto, 20,000,000 streams and you get to #96 on the Hot 100. It might help to have a SONG that a wide variety of people want to HEAR! There are probably a...
