He says half the album was Synclavier.
That means half of it wasn't too.

Thiller sound -'brrr brr'

it's always annoyed me that i could never pin down that sound in thriller. today i tried to listen really closely to it. At exactly the same time, same rhythm, is the bass. Sounds to me like a DX type bass, and a second sound up an octave (maybe two?) seems to be a square wave that has a very fast l...

so did you install windows using bootcamp setup assistant? you neglected to mention that. once you have windows installed on the mac you then have to insert the Leopard dvd for windows to grab the mac drivers, so it can for example use the built in webcam etc etc. sorry if this sounds patronising.

check out any album by Isao Tomita.
Recreated famous orchestral pieces on vast moog setups.
Albums range about 1973 to about 1984 for the main synthy ones.

If you can get hold of it, The Bermuda Triangle by Tomita is incredible, and still unmatched in analogue complexity/recording in my eyes.

i've got the 20" 2.4ghz one with 4 gig of ram and it's REALLY nice. I used to have a G5 with dual 17" screens, and i don't miss any of that one bit. The 20" is a superb screen. I actually think the 24 is a bit OTT, the width is great, but it's just TOO tall for me. It's like sitting r...

Skins / mono arizona 02

just a quick one to say THANKS to Robert for the mono arizona 02 skin - it's absolutely superb.

i was on a skin mission recently (sounds nasty i know). I missed all the old skins, then realised i still had my old live 6 installed -YAY, all my old skins work. Very pleased to have Battleship back too.
