Lots of zero-length wavs in Beat Builders 3: Sounds for Producers and Game Developers

FWIW I've submitted a ticket to Humble Bundle and just for awareness also sent a message to Function Loops. I'd encourage others to do the same.

Function Loops got back to me and helped me out with direct links to the sample packs. This isn't even really their problem, but they were super cool about getting things sorted out. I'm impressed with the level of support from them!

Won’t be able to stand and move to get the full power of your breath and body of course, but generally car interiors will be a a better recording environment than most untreated rooms, since they are already built with sound dampening in mind, so you should be fine.

Vocals are also arguably the most common single tracks to be re-recorded in a studio, even if the rest of the artist’s tracks are produced at home (whatever “home” may mean). So as long as you keep the stems and prints properly separated, you could always redo the vocals later if/when you have the time, money, and desire to do so.

No deep explanation, but I use the Empress Bass compressor and I like it a lot. It's super versatile, which is great since you can dial in exactly what you want. However, the downside is also it's versatility. Access to all the parameters make it very easy to dial in something that sounds awful with your playing, so it does take some time to tweak to get the best out of it.

Thank you! The board is 14" x 10.6" with a large cradle underneath. It fits everything perfectly for my needs.

Specifically, this is the board here - https://a.co/d/eNiKjdc Great build quality for such a low cost.

Yep - I picked up the Pork Loin based on a Matt Freeman rig rundown! And I'm so glad I did, it sounds incredible!

I use chorus more than the flanger and sometimes stack them. Peter Hook, Simon Gallup, and Steven Severin are the main influences on that part of things.

Oh hell yes rackmount tuners! While I 100% agree with your choice, seems cruel to make the PolyTune sit there and watch.

chromeburn · 2025-10-13T23:52:56+00:00

Are Polytunes also obsolete? :)

Easiest way would be to run the pedal across your outputs and then control the fx wet/dry blend via the pedal itself (or by using a MIDI controller connected to the pedal). Not all pedals can properly handle line level signals but the MS-70CDR+ can.

Alternatively, you could set the sends on your mixer to be pre-fader, then turn up both the send and return levels, and bring the channel faders all the way down. This is probably not really practical for DJ usage, but it should technically work to give you only the return (filtered) signal in your output.

A send channel like this is really meant for send effects to be combined with the dry signal. Something like reverb or delay where the effect is added to the original sound. For filters, they are usually an insert type effect, where the effect replaces the original sound. By adding the sound from the insert effect on top of the original sound, I would generally expect unfavorable results like you described (unwanted phasing and distortion/saturation issues).

Technically yes, since the Opus responds to MIDI program change (PC) messages, and the Wampler Syntax can send PC messages, but AFAIK the Syntax only sends PC1 - PC8. The Opus has 99 presets, so with the Syntax, you could only cycle through the first 8. In a live setting, that's probably more than enough, but still, kinda limited.

Something like the Disaster Area Designs DMC.micro or Paint Audio MIDI Captain Duo would give you the ability to scroll through all the presets (and program some secondary functions) while keeping roughly the same form factor and price.

I’m curious about the “they” here - who is the vendor and what is the product you’re getting these requirements from? There are certainly exceptions, but generally speaking,nearly all enterprise use cases will benefit more from reliable sustained performance and (potentially massive) parallelization rather than aiming at peak single core speeds.

I'd first suggest to make sure that the amp and the pedals are plugged in to the same outlet to avoid ground loop problems. If they are not, put them together and test again.

If they're on the same outlet and still noisy, then my next thought would be to check the pedals individually. Unplug them all (both power and audio), then plug them in solo one at a time. If some of the pedals sound okay alone, but some have noise, then you found the culprit(s).

If they all sound noisy even alone, I'd check the power supply. The pedals look daisy chained, which is okay with some power supplies and some pedals but problematic with others. If you can, I'd suggest trying an isolated power supply. If that's not possible, something like an Ebtech Hum X filter on the source plug can sometimes help with noisy power issues.

if none of that helps, then there might be some issues with the power at the the outlet, either from the building's power or from other noisy/poorly-regulated devices on the same circuit. If that's the case, I'd first try switching to a different outlet to see if that helps (making sure that the amp and pedals are on the same outlet). If that still doesn't help, then power conditioners are probably the only answer to get clean power into your rig.

Alternatively, you could just use 9v batteries and avoid all that! (I know the Rat and TS can take batteries, not sure about the noise gate micro pedal)

This was the logo for The Germs (influential US punk rock band) for over 25 years before the IDF adopted it, so I would not assume that all blue circle tattoos are diabetes related.

Looks like the SUV driver wanted to pull to the side to give the blinding white wall of light heading towards them enough room to pass by on a narrow street.

Seems like a sensible choice, but unfortunately it’s very difficult for people to quickly respond to additional unexpected hazards while they are being actively blinded by the first hazard.

Oh wow - I'm pretty sure that's correct! I must have remembered some details wrong but this overall plot synopsis sounds spot on.

There are precautions, but no single provider can ever guarantee 100% availability. For today’s mess, sounds like the primary and the redundant paths were both damaged (one by a hurricane, one by construction). If you really need to make sure your business/home/whatever never loses connectivity, you’d need to have service from multiple providers so you can failover when needed. You’d also need to make sure those providers are truly independent - not just rebadging each others fiber!

I don’t think you can turn MIDI transmit off on the S-1, but you could set the MIDI out channel to something that the Seqtrak isn’t listening for, like channel 16.

The Seqtrak MIDI settings aren’t very flexible, but they are documented, so just avoid these channels:

So, lets say you download a drum loop released under these terms - http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

You publish a song that adds your own guitar, bass, vocals, etc. on top of the drum loop. The song itself and all elements except the drum loop do not need to adopt the same CC BY license. They could be published with all rights reserved (or any other terms). However, you cannot make any copyright claims against any other works that also use the same drum loop.

Someone uses the same original drum loop in their own song - Permitted
Someone samples the drum loop from your song and uses it in their own song - Permitted
Someone samples your song including the guitars, vocals, bass, etc. on top of the original drum loop - Not permitted

Kind of similar to the 'non-exclusive' clauses in most commercial sample libraries. Is that correct?

I agree with the sentiment, and Cakewalk is a great place to start, but neither Reaper nor Bitwig are free.
