    Eventide Audio - Micropitch pedal

    That's a common practice people who know and understand how voltage correctly works.... have been using for decades. It's also the only way one can use non-line levels devices, like all pedals are, in the best possible way as allowed by the mixer channels input gain trims and the consequent...

    Eventide Audio - Micropitch pedal

    I don't understand your comment. I wanted to clarify what all those pedals are, in case you (or others) really thought they are analog. Then you buy whatever you like. My reply was about correct information, nothing else.

    Haven't said this in a LONG time.... New Amp Day!!!

    The ONLY amp with a clean tone that perfectly sounds like a Fender Twin. Rivera knew how!

    A general guide to MIDI SysEx use.... you need: -a computer, PC or Windows. -an audio interface with MIDI ports and updated drivers OR a MIDI interface OR an USB to MIDI cable. I use an M-Audio UNO both on Mac and Windows machines. A better one is the Roland UM-One MK2. Most of these devices...

    Revisiting Eclipse glorious sounds...

    Are you using a Mac or a Windows PC? And which OS version? Technically it's not the Eclipse that recognize the UNO or the opposite. It's the computer program you use. That would be MIDIOX (Windows) or SYSEX LIBRARIAN (Mac). Which one are you using? Some computers have funny USB ports...

    You could refresh my memory and we can try to rule out things.

    So that you know... non of those three Eventide pedals is analog. They are ALL digital.

    Do you think modelers will get there in the next 10 years?

    Not entirely exact but definitely closer to reality to what Batman tried hard to understand but never got! Thanks.

    Did I ever say I used kid's profiles? There's a strong legal debate among amp builders about this issue. You will probably see something.

    Do you think modelers will get there in the next 10 years?

    Looking at a design and use it adding variations is a way to develop things AND still keeping each amp very personal in sound. Modelling is stealing, right away, in full. Do you think these thieves really have a collection of dozens of tube amps, cabinets, speakers, mics in their basement AND...

    Hopeless! Just shouts and NO content. Typical! BTW I'm not a tube amps snob as I don't even use one. I have all sort of amps... ever heard of magnetic field amps?

    Do you think modelers will get there in the next 10 years?

    I wrote my position about modelling quite many posts earlier. But I have stuff to add to it: -I do not want to spend hours *programming* my "amp" tone! No fucking way. An amp should sound and feel good right away, in a few minutes at worst... without the need to spend hours on it. I AM a...

    The latest is NOT always the greatest by definition! Evolution is something else. If you are american you should know that your gov. just landed on mars, again, and Perseverance is running on none other than a PowerPC 750, a single-core, 233MHz processor with just 6 million transistors that’s...

    Last men with such total confidence in science were the Positivism movement... and they failed. So they had to re_learn everything and start thinking in a realistic way, rather than churchish enthusiasm. Most of what comes next is not better by objective definition... just more convenient to...

    Do you think modelers will get there in the next 10 years?

    You are confusing representation of an existing audio recording with how the most important elements of it are created. Sampling vs. playing the real thing. It's a whole different subject than modelling. But even staying within the sampling world, sure you can move up to much higher specs than...

    Do you think modelers will get there in the next 10 years?

    I know UAD and Fabfilter PRO.... they are no better than anything else. UAD has the value of taking the load off computer CPU... but the replicas are still... fake. Fabfilter has a way to sound gentler and nicer than most plugs BUT it never creates any character because it can't. Again... we do...

    PERFECT DIAGNOSIS! That's exactly how it works and I am very afraid of (and sorry for) it. Look at MP3! How many people in the last 2 generations out there never owned an HI-FI stereo setup and listened to music on it vs. badly compressed iPod/computer/phone "audio" files?

    Do you think modelers will get there in the next 10 years?

    No, I don't think they will ever "get there"... if you have good ears, experience in using the real thing and a sensitivity for touch! People... there is ONE thing that won't change and that is the voltage, power! The way a power section creates tone and feel in a real amp can't be perfectly...
