Less heat also translates to less noise, a definite plus. I'm all for more sensible power draw.
Cheers for the links! Looks interesting for general purpose number crunching, but perhaps not for audio yet. I'd be interested in the memory...
Nope. I'm not aware of any size/perf comparisons between say FLAC, NCW, and WavPack, but I'm guessing that NCW is quite close to the sweet spot...
Notes? Where we're going we NEED NO GODDAMN NOTES! [MEDIA] Nowhere close their best, but always good for a quick pick-me-up (+ the translation...
Most Kontakt libraries are already compressed to NCW, so unless the benefit is massive compared to those then I'm guessing given NI's lack of...
Fucked if I can concentrate on music at the moment, so why not entertain myself with something that's annoyingly elusive? [MEDIA] Can't go wrong...
Sigh, sure if you want to read it that way. I didn't say I'm not grateful for all of these gifts, because I am. And neither did I say "do [MY...
Yeah, it's a force of habit for me I guess. The transpose function is handy, I personally use one on my keyboard into a MIDI arp/seq/generator ->...
Gotta love pattern sequencers! For whatever reason I have some problems myself running them as MIDI plugins though I have no issues with hardware...
DAW is a meaningless marketing term, though fairly understood. A sequencer it is, putting sounds into order.
Ableton. I've used it for way too long and it's embedded itself into my spine. Muscle memory and all that. That said, I've been keen trying to...
Good stuff! I'm already very happy with Vavra and Xenia, those things are the bee's knees. So I can't see this thing doing too badly either....
There's a fair bit of presets (factory sets etc.) on Waldorf's download page for XT. I'm not actually sure if those were bundled with the...
I don't collect samples (or any data), I collect storage.
I don't want more samples, I just want the samples no one else wants. To paraphrase a discussion I had with a friend recently about "secret...
Ok, rehashing my deleted comment to fit the rules (apologies for fucking that up earlier), look for "90's sample cds" in archive.org and other...
Ahh, hardware... If you're going that route, can I recommend a nice addition (of course you can feed in from an interface as well) of a cheap,...
There's plenty of alternatives to RasPi, like OrangePi. But it pays to shop around for SBCs, there's more performant and/or cheaper options which...
One of my all time favourites, especially with the official expansions. Tricky to operate and these days it doesn't play well with HiDPI displays....
Gonna be n-thing anything modular. Start free: Cardinal / Cardinal FX. Synthwise there's good free options: Vital of course, but shout out to...
Separate names with a comma.
