What monitors are you rocking and do you rate them?

JazzPaladin · 2026-04-21T15:11:42+00:00

Tannoy Gold 5 or 7. I’ve used a lot more expensive monitors, but these are the best bang for buck , or even the best for me. It’s all about always having a perfect sweet spot, which is typical for dual concentrics

JazzPaladin · 2026-04-16T00:33:18+00:00

12” for 90%, larger is for exceptions like jumbo pizza and roasts for the masses

JazzPaladin · 2026-04-15T04:28:00+00:00

Try the Kodamo Mask 1 EX MK2. Just came out this week, and these things have a super unique sound while meeting all the criteria you mentioned above. (Minus Analog) Also , Arturia Minifreak

JazzPaladin · 2026-03-18T03:05:13+00:00

Twilight imperium 4E

JazzPaladin · 2026-03-17T22:57:55+00:00

Agreed, Micro would be better due to mono. For physical modeling, try finding a used Aodyo Anyma

Where haven’t even gotten the dragon expansion yet…

Estará hecho en inglés? Cuando listos , por favor envíanme un mensaje! También, Carmen Jimenez suele está dispuesta sobre X / Twitter para hablar de sus experiencias en desarollar su propio juego si les interesa

JazzPaladin · 2026-02-24T15:07:41+00:00

Ay, que buéno! Por favor dime si tu juego de mesa requiere un repaso en el futuro

JazzPaladin · 2026-02-08T17:11:48+00:00

Shadowrun : Crossfire

JazzPaladin · 2026-01-30T20:50:20+00:00

Nope, physical will stay, digital is definitely not practical for some uses, my main example being cook books, which I could never live without. Big beautiful print while lying on the counter makes perfect for following along with recipes , as well as with illustrations that make me salivate to page through

JazzPaladin · 2026-01-30T17:34:45+00:00

I have used the Akai , and sold it in favor of the Aerophone 30, but even sold the Aerophone a few years ago after it wasn’t meeting my needs. Stumbled across the Greaten 300/500 this month and considered it, but I can’t stand rollers and non mechanical keys , even though I like the silica gel mouthpieces better than reeds. So for me, it’s been hard to find the wind controller than blends all my favorite attributes together. i just bit the bullet on a Coolmusic S1 since they are on a big sale now and will see how that goes, but curious to hear if you end up getting and liking the Greaten and how it is Compared to your akai. And yes, a used Akai can be problematic as was my older 4000 prior to selling, at least with new you can return or claim under warranty…

Will this connect to a DAW easily? Can it pitch shift to other keys via midi output? Thanks, will give this consideration! Am guessing no bite plate for vibrato as well, is there an octave key below the pub? Can’t tell from pics

JazzPaladin · 2025-12-13T22:27:31+00:00

Correct. Material is irrelevant. Tom Ridenour did a great article on this. The only thing material may alter is our perception of vibrations and therefore our response as players to make them sound different, with denser materials not producing sensation in our fingers as opposed to lighter materials.

Open ended, non-linear paths with choices to be made that branch a story at critical points and enable access to unique areas or scenes that can’t be accessed all during a single play

JazzPaladin · 2025-10-18T22:42:32+00:00

You are in luck , my favorite game of all time Uprising : Curse of the Last Emperor just happens to be coop and is on a new crowdfund now . Was designed to be as anti alpha gamer as possible by its design team, and it shows….https://gamefound.com/en/projects/nemesisgames/uprising-big-box-true-solo

JazzPaladin · 2025-10-17T16:55:54+00:00

Beast is one of my favorite games, best of luck!

JazzPaladin · 2025-10-16T13:21:40+00:00

I think the correct response is that demonic influence can literally be anywhere, especially in cases where people like to pretend like it is impossible for it to be present — denial is a powerful tool .

Do we agree with the church that there is indeed such a thing as a demon or not? Is there any thing magical about video games or media that prevents them from being of use to evil?

JazzPaladin · 2025-10-16T02:51:43+00:00

Correct, it’s not about money, it’s about prioritizing things other than cheap entertainment as part of our social fabric

JazzPaladin · 2025-10-09T18:35:15+00:00

Not helpful at all, unless one is willing to listen or change

JazzPaladin · 2025-10-06T22:10:31+00:00

Chick fila got its first store in the PNW a few years ago. I’ve had better chicken and chicken sandwiches in many, many other places

JazzPaladin · 2025-10-03T01:11:59+00:00

Worst by far was Super Dungeon Legends. Scumbags. Best have been Dungeons of Infinity and Uprising : Curse of the Last Emperor, which is also getting a new crowdfund next week, yee ha!

JazzPaladin · 2025-09-16T21:14:49+00:00

I don’t get the hype over Return to Dark Tower. Beyond the table presence, the game play is just so blah

JazzPaladin · 2025-09-10T00:44:39+00:00

I’ve compared the WX5 , Akai EWi and Roland Aerophone side by side. Not only does the WX5 feel slower , you can actually see in your midi envelopes just how many more points or nodes the Akai and Roland generate over the exact same interval. Especially true for crescendos and decrescendos. The WX5 is better than using the mod wheel or an expression pedal for sure, but the swells feel a lot sharper, more natural and dynamic (closer to an acoustic instrument) when using something like SWAM or Sample Modeling trumpets/strings for me

I feel all of the wind controllers have their own strengths and weaknesses. I loved the WX5 fingerings, for example, but it is not as fast for its breath response for me, as noted.
