new Tritik freebie: krush

[GaryG]

Maybe bit crushers aren't top of the list of ambient must-haves (handy for adding texture though imho) but if tk-delay is anything to go by, the filters and drive will be smooth indeed.

EDIT: Yep, bit of a gem really. No nonsense features but sounds really good with a versatile LFO to get things moving. Also clear and dead simple to use.

I remember my liking Moodal, but eventually deciding not to get it--I did get the delay though. Re-demoing Moodal tonight. Not sure I will get it since I didn't jump on the 50% off intro price last fall (currently a 33% offer off for the delay and Moodal), but there's no telling.

Yeah, Moodal sounded interesting but not something I felt I needed. Whereas tk-delay is my go-to delay now for most simpler jobs (ie. not needing Ubermods 32 taps... )

[edit]... (ie. not needing Ubermods 32 taps... )

That's your problem right there, not over-doing things.

sometimes I put things in just because I want more meters and buttons--what if someone walked in your studio and you didn't have something cool-looking and slightly incomprehensible up on the screen? That is the main reason I keep the Arp 2500V around, just to have it up on the screen with a bunch of animated patch cables hanging down.

Pffft, I keep a vintage Buchla rack around for that purpose. Though keep a Moog modular around in reserve for the more conservative clients.

Don't forget to pick up an old piece of electronic equipment to open up and leave on a table--with wires and test equipment nearby. A soldering iron helps too.

When I graduated from school I swore if I got a job in a recording studio I was going to dress like the old EMI recording engineers did way back when...

You should apply to Toe Rag studios, all analog and white coats:
