Re: Weird 2013 Macbook Retina Latency Issue

I thought this only affected the laptop speakers? My understanding was that when using an external audio interface or the headphone jack, the latency went down to regular levels. Please correct me if I'm wrong. But it seems like a non issue. I'm not writing/producing or gigging with the laptop spea...

Re: That Classic High Pitch Synth Sound?!?!?!

Isn't that referred to as the 'wild pitch' sound ? it's just an analogue synth string single note two oscillators isn't it ? that very well may be. makes sense to me. i don't have an analog but wouldn't be surprised if that was the case. probably with a bit of pitch and filter modulation via lfo yo...

Re: That Classic High Pitch Synth Sound?!?!?!

I still have my s1000 as well. I hit ebay for some of those sounds on either floppy or cd but didnt find any.

Those sounds in the first link you posted are great. For cds i dont have a cd player for the s1000 but could use floppies.


I'll keep looking on ebay in the meantime. Unless you are selling

Re: That Classic High Pitch Synth Sound?!?!?!

yeah fair enough

the tracks are from early to mid 90's the drums 808s and the synths are most likely m1s or dx7.

i'm sure i'm getting to that sound. i will post results when i do

in the meantime if anyone knows proper examples please chime in

best

Re: That Classic High Pitch Synth Sound?!?!?!
