nice! Think the data's still good? Digging through the archives, I've just found: a) All my old tracker songs in XM format. b) the ZIP file with the .XI instrument definitions (FastTracker/ProTracker). That contains all the samples I pretty much ever used on the Amiga! You could extract the samples...

A well-used technique in SoundTracker days of yore. I've probably still got the sample files somewhere, buried deep in a pile of Amiga floppies.

Now if only he'd recorded that onto loops of decaying tape, that would've been cool.

Marcstep? It does have a certain ring to it.

I got myself a patchbay a few years ago and a dozen or so 12" patch cables, to route between synths, effects and the DAW. For me it's an essential piece of equipment.

Well, that makes one of us then.

I don't know about you, but I use verbs every time I communicate.

My experience with M-Audio is that they're built down to a price and so corners are cut somewhere, usually with build quality. Your mileage may vary, but both the M-Audio interfaces I've used were in solid metal cases, and the Profire has chunky knobs with resistance -- certainly solid enough for t...

I have a M-Audio Profire 610, which is FireWire only (no USB). It's an excellent interface with a good sound, and gives me low latency. Specs are: - 2 TRS/XLR inputs at mic level with preamps - 2 TRS at line level - 8 TRS line-level outs - SP/DIF - 1x1 MIDI - 2 headphone outs You can power this from...

Windswept? I think that's just the hair gel.

Oh, you filthy damned temptress you. Are you allowed to spill any details?
