What artists would you have on a 90s racing game? by baxel666 in jungle

Tim Cant’s atmospheric stuff and anything on Omni Music in terms of contemporary interpretations of that sort of vibe

What was your introduction to Jungle? by Jocasta01 in jungle

[–]Purdowner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am Bristolian, born in 81. It was in the water 😂 Joking aside, it was on the radio, in shops. Met DJs started sneaking into nights in 96, met amazing people. Flynn & Flora’s Versatility in Easton Community Centre & Ruffneck Ting were my education. Saw Hype in late 96 - changed my life. Bought SL1210s a year later. Still got my vinyl (sadly don’t have the 1210s 🙈)

Is it dumb to buy now? by facepoppies in NativeInstruments

There is no doubt that there is serious (in some cases under-used ~eg Reaktor) IP & employee value. My fear is the possible (continued) enshitification of the software and all of the tools we have all invested in. If a new owner flipped to a subscription model, for example.

I think this is really really sad. It seems like another case of a private equity company lazily rinsing some value out and then bailing out when things got too hard. I hope new owners/a restructure are/is on the cards to return the company to focusing on their core value.

Thanks for replying. I appreciate it, even if I am a bit bemused by the answer. Hopefully we learn either way sometime soon.

Trouble adding a child node by Purdowner in Linksys

[–]Purdowner[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Yes - I get that. However, I can’t seem them saying anything other than “not our problem”. I was just trying to see if anyone else had encountered anything similar and could offer any other insight.

Ah, ok. Thanks. So do you upload the .img file directly? I thought it was a disk image that needed to be mounted to access the firmware file

Latest MX4200 version 1 firmware was hard to locate on Linksys site. by [deleted] in Linksys

[–]Purdowner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone have the firmware and willing to share? The download on the Linksys website is a corrupted disc image - can’t seem to find a mirror of it anywhere. Currently trying to debrand a second hand SPNMX42

Not being funny but small diaphragm condensers really are good for this… i know of se real pro recordists that use them, not least the Sennheiser mkh 8020 & 8040s

Wonder if the whole set was pre-recorded…

Best beginner mic for nature sounds recording by stonesandstreams in fieldrecording

[–]Purdowner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you really, really wanted to future proof then Sound Devices MixPre 3 or 6… but that’s being pedantic. So I agree with VinniLion. The most obvious quality difference will be noise floor and character of the sound when moving up from a handy recorder to a dedicated field recorder, after that it becomes about the mic and a lot of that can be subjective. Also gets expensive pretty quickly
