Despite my glowing, youthful appearance, I harbor an ever increasing affinity for what can only be deemed, "old-school ways."
You see, because of the way I tend to work on projects (lay down click tracks and sequences in one place, do tracking at one place, overdubs at a few more places, mix elsewhere), I'm still one of those holdouts with some ADATs and that ancient beast, a mixing console.

When I first started paying attention to digital audio, the popular soundcards were the Turtle Beach Multisound and the DAL CardD+. Stereo analog ins and outs were the order of the day. Then the digital I/O cards arrived, and you could get various combinations of analog and digital (S/PDIF or AES/EBU) ins and outs on a card.

Most businesses these days are run with computers, marketing, and money. Even in the world of pro audio.
Therefore it's always refreshing when I find a company which is run by brains, engineering, and passion.

Probably one of the most misunderstood concepts in all of audio science is that of the decibel -- what it means, and what it doesn't mean. This really isn't very surprising. Most books you'll find on audio production gloss over the subject, offering a rudimentary explanation at best.

Hey, if you've been coveting those groovy VST plugins floating around the web for free, but have a DirectX-only digital audio workstation, it's time for you to get happy. Amulet Audio Software, a UK-based software company, has released VST Adapter, a DirectX shell for VST plugins.
VST Adapter is great news for the musician on a budget.

I recently came across a line of posts regarding ProRec in a popular discussion group.
The gist of the commentary was that ProRec is an interesting 'Zine, but it sure seemed like ProRec's authors were lackeys for certain pro audio companies.

The forces of life were against my trip to the Namm show this time. Everything conspired against me, but I did make it down for one day, and I took a bunch of pictures with a borrowed Sony DV Camcorder.

I can hear it now.
"What do you wanna do tonight honey?"
"I dunno. What do you wanna do?"
"Why don't we design the best compressor in the world for under $1500?"
"OK, dear.

Apology: When I wrote my review of the DSP Factory (DSPF) hardware, I honestly expected to have this software support article completed by the end of December.

I've been looking wistfully at the new generation of DSP-enabled audio cards. In particular the ability to run several bands of real-time EQ and compression on every channel is SO exciting.
So you can imagine my surprise - and glee - when I stumbled across a demo download on the Waves site (http://www.waves.com) called AudioTrack and loaded it onto my computer.
AudioTrack is the essential track insert.

The landscape of Marketing History is littered with ill-fated products, saddled by their well-meaning creators with monikers meant to cash in on the glittering reputation of their legendary namesakes. As we've all learned, however, sharing a name with a classic isn't necessarily an indication of repeated glory.
