Re: Why does the pan knob go -64 left... and +63 right?

Wow cool, you just answered the whole conundrum. I knew 0 was center, I knew -64 and +63 were hard pans, the question was which is the "extra value" that is left over. And as you state, according to your experiment it is -1. All others have perfect mirror image pairs on the other side. Tha...

Re: Why does the pan knob go -64 left... and +63 right?

It is 128 total values. -64 to -1, and 0 to +63. (Like everything in computer-land, it has to be a power of two.) Now the real problem is, 128 is an even number - which means you don't have a number for absolute center. That would require an odd total number of values (x values resolution on the lef...

Re: Cloning my sound library drive...

Use Superduper for cloning, it will copy hidden files as well. Many if not most disk-based authorizations survive this.

Waves TransX - care to share ur experiences?

Waves TransX is on sale right now. I have the Sonnox Transient shaper, which I don't use often, but really need it when I do. Now, I'm intrigued by the idea of having the transient shaping be frequency-dependent. Anyone a big fan of this plug? Care to share why? Or else, not a fan? In that case, why...

Re: How did you get started using Digital Performer?

CalArts taught it (Performer, that is) as their sequencer in the early 90s. Became my first and only love in sequencers. Back then the choice was Performer or Vision, split pretty much 50/50, maybe a slight edge for Performer? Plus a handful of people using Ataris. All were MIDI only, of course, no ...

Re: 2 problems. plugin transfer 2 other project and mixer st

You can either monitor without latency (if yo have a MOTU interface) using "Direct Hardware playthrough", but then you'll lose your plug-ins and level meters etc., precisely because you are bypassing the computer and thereby getting zero latency. OR you can have plug-ins and meters, but th...

Re: U-Jam

LOVE THIS. Tears the mask right off of all of those composers who already really are nothing but U-Jam with a pulse. One thing has been pretty darn clear since the advent of Garageband, Apple Loops and "one-finger libraries", but this makes it simply undeniable: Since every shmo can be der...

Re: (Real) No Brainer on IK Fairchild 670

Finally got around to installing and testing. A little early, but so far I'm quite underwhelmed. Don't think this one will give my Softubes, Abbey Roads or Stillwells a run for the money. But hey, 20 bucks is not a lot of bread.

Re: osx lion compatibility

I have never upgraded to a new OS before it was on .3 or .4 (or a major app upgrade before it was .01 or .02...) A policy that has served me very, very well.

Bleeding edge is for computer geeks and suckers. I'm merely a musician. :D

"For Lovers Only" soundtrack released

My score for the most recent film by Michael & Mark Polish, "For Lovers Only", was just released on iTunes. "For Lovers Only" is the Polish Brothers' seventh film, and it is their homage to the films of the 1960s French nouvelle vague. The visually opulent black-and-white rom...
