    After we were finished tracking drums for the next THEO album, Kevin DePree asked me to play a little Hammond on one of his student's drum covers. Check out 10 year old Emerson playing some swing! How cute!

    It's like 10.5 ¢ per tune per disc if it's under 7 minutes, I think. Over that, you have to pay another 2 ¢ per minute (which is stupid, especially on a jazz record where you only play the actual melody (the part that is copyrighted) for maybe 30 seconds). Anyway, for a 10 song CD, it will average to around $1.10 per disc.

    Thanks guys. As far as licensing, I usually just go through Harry Fox. The only time I've run into trouble is covering a song owned by Malaco. They do all their own licensing, so I had to contact and deal with them directly. It wasn't a big deal, but a bit more inconvenient than using Harry Fox.

    You're supposed to be playing, Randy. Not texting.

    Our latest video from the upcoming Beatles tribute album.

    Oh, Melissa Gilbert, your email headers know the way directly into my heart. "Are we still planning on meeting tomorrow?" Yes, yes, a thousand times YES! Ah, Half-Pint, all these years of unrequited love are finally about to come to a glorious end...

    ... wait, you sent this to how many people? It's just a fundraising campaign for your congressional run? Son of a bitc....

    Dammit Pianoteq, why does your Blüthner model sound SOOOO good?

    I'd go for the helicopter facts.

    Digital techniques have gotten better for noise removal but I tend to think we should leave well enough alone and just release needle drops of older material like that.

    Happy 70th birthday, David Gilmour. This is probably my favorite Pink Floyd album and one of the records that made me fall in love with the sound of the Hammond through a Leslie speaker (on chorale) when I was a little kid. Gilmour's tone on this album is the pinnacle, imo.

      Couldn't see which Floyd album you cited as your favorite, though I'm guessing WYWH. Cheers! -- Tom

    The gobbiltygook that comes out of Paul's mouth would be hilarious if he wasn't serious about it. I give Bernie a lot of credit for not simply laughing in his face.

    Oh conservatives, how low your party has sunk. The candidate trumping all other candidates for the GOP nomination (see what I did there?) is waxing philosophical about the size of his penis during a live, televised debate. This is what your party has become; literal dick-wagging.

    In light of that, this seems apropos.

    Unorthodox Behavior I think is the most glaring of them; but actually putting it in Wavelab and looking at the spectrum, it's everything below about 200Hz that could use a slight boost (maybe 2db). I did that using the Eiosis Air EQ plug-in and everything sounded much mire full and present to me. It's not bad as is and the dynamic range is fantastic; almost unheard of for a modern remaster.

    "Eugene Driker, a civil defense attorney, and Brian Lennon, a criminal defense attorney, were each awarded a contract worth $249,000 through Dec. 31, after which those contracts can be extended, Snyder spokesman Ari Adler told the Free Press.

    The contracts, which are to be paid with state funds, are just below the $250,000 threshold for contracts requiring approval from the State Administrative Board, which meets in public to approve state contracts and grants."

    And who is paying for his PR firm? You guessed it; tax payers.

    Can we please arrest this piece of shit?

    Working on new THEO songs and replacing a lead patch I made in Retrologue (virtual analog) with a re-creation made on the Andromeda (real analog). Guess which one won?

    I like Retrologue a lot; it sounds really nice and is very easy to program. However, I was having trouble with this particular lead sounding too thin and wimpy in the mix. That's no longer an issue with the Andromeda and I was only using one oscillator. Analog FTW.

    Got this today. I don't have any other issues of these albums to compare. They sound good but are extremely light in the bass. That's kind of a mid-70s aesthetic though. They are definitely not over-compressed dynamically which is great. Guess I just need to turn up the bass on my old Marantz receiver.

    What do I do on a late Tuesday night / early Wednesday morning when snowed in? Compare analog oscillator waveforms. Below is the triangle output from my Alesis Andromeda vs. the triangle from a synthesizers.com Q106 module. Exciting, isn't it?

    "Trump, it turns out, is just the symptom. The rise of American authoritarianism is transforming the Republican Party and the dynamics of national politics, with profound consequences likely to extend well beyond this election."
