What was your favorite album purchase of 2009 in retrospect

Mine would have to be Arve Henriksen - Cartography.
Absolutely beautiful from start to finish.
What was yours ?

Re: First Listen: Massive Attack, 'Heligoland' until Feb. 9

It's what 100th Window should have been IMHO. Very impressed on first listen I must confess. Far better than I had anticipated to be brutally honest with you. If I was to play this back to back with Blue Lines, Protection, Mezzanine, Danny the Dog Sound track then this it's a far more logical musica...

Re: So start funelling people - give them the info

I intend to be back with Live again after stopping the upgrade path with Live 5. That said I don't have any intention of using 3rd party plug ins with it ever again. Max 4 Live + Live 8 + Reason 4 rewired will be more than enough. Must be annoying though for people not having the sort of stability t...

iPax - so you can be technologically savvy even on your heaviest days. iDom - viral protection for your Mac iLostomy - we can even make your shit look stylish Makes me wonder when the iPad will come with blue tip wings instead of bluetooth. :| I do own an iMac BTW, but the name was/is a major doozy.

Re: Akai APC 40: Has it delivered?

Having now Auditioned one an finally deciding what I am doing with my studio set up for good i will be pleased to get one. So in two months time I will have Live 8 Suite, Max 4 Live, Reason 4 and no third party VSTi's or AU's. My Fusion 8HD is staying put but the Prophecy and WSA1 will be sold. So a...

Re: Honest Opinion Requested - Stability of Live 8 Suite on iMac

Looking at Max4Live + Live 8 Suite and a Launchpad with my MPD32 I think I' have more than enough including Reason 4 with no 3rd party effects or VSTi's / AU's. I'm also more in sync with the Live workflow no matter how much i work with the Reason sequencer. So I think this will be the way to go. Th...

Re: Honest Opinion Requested - Stability of Live 8 Suite on iMac

My setup is made with an iMac 20" 2.66 GHz (Early 2008). I only use Live Suite boxed (I own EIC + Session Drums) The only plug-in I use is Zebra 2.5. My FW audio card (FCA202) uses Coreaudio so no drivers involved. For me this has been rock stable. However because I do not need M4L, I'm still ...

Re: Honest Opinion Requested - Stability of Live 8 Suit on iMac

If I go the Live 8 Suite + Max4Live route I'll be looking at taking proper courses in Max programming also.

Honest Opinion Requested - Stability of Live 8 Suite on iMac

Need some honest feed back here. I used live from versions 2 through 5 but stopped for several reasons. 1. Constant Upgrade Expense 2. Features added weren't always what I had hoped for. 3. Instability creep with further versions 4. Pairing back studio too bare essentials Now I need some honest feed...

DEPECHE MODE - Come Back Studio Session EMI

Seriously this has got to be one of the best 'in studio' stripped back versions of any of their songs I have heard. As much as I love the spaced out shoe gaze of the Album version this is simply superb. Awesome live vocals by both Gore and Gahan I might add. Really impressed with this and had to sha...
