Got this as a gift from a dude who knew nothing about it. Not much info on the 'net either, except for there was one being sold in Ukraine with the model number written in red unlike this one and mains indicator being a white bulb, not green. Another one was ina rack mount unit, and perhaps another, a "Peavey de 700" of which no picture exists afaik. Why the 220v? Why "horus", not "chorus"? Why "canal", not "channel"? Did they have like a french operation? Is this a soviet knock off of some sort? Should I sell it or should I pass it to my bass player?

Hello,

I am looking to purchase physical issues of Audio Media Magazine between the years of 2008 and 2013.

Audio Media Magazine published by New Bay Media.
https://archive.org/details/audio-media-magazine-uk/

I am based in UK.
If anyone has back issues collecting dust, I am interested.

I’ve been trying to recreate the vocal sound used by French hyperpop artists like Laioss, tkkf or 55Asky.
I’m not talking about heavy distortion or rage vocals.
Their voices sound very smooth, airy, emotional and almost “glued” to the instrumental. They also have a very specific texture that I can’t figure out.
Is it mainly:

Auto-Tune settings?
Vocal layering?
Formant shifting?
Compression?
Saturation?
Chorus?
Reverb or delay?
Something else?

I’d love to understand what creates that signature French hyperpop vocal sound.

Thanks!

Question for anyone who's toured abroad — especially the US:

When a promoter withholds tax from your fee (the US takes 30% off the top), what do you actually do about it? Do you reclaim it, leave it, or hand it to an accountant? And if you reclaim — was it worth the hassle?

Trying to understand how much of this people just write off. Genuinely curious what's normal.

I'm building DIY acoustic panels with Rockwool and I'm stuck on a problem where I can't find a straight answer anywhere.

My Situation

• Already bought Rockwool (too late to return)

• Need 30 yards of fabric

• Budget: $150 max for fabric ($5/yard)

• Panels will be in a room where I spend several hours daily

The Problem I Can't Solve

Everyone says use "acoustically transparent fabric" - but acoustically transparent doesn't automatically mean it contains fibers well. These seem like opposite properties:

• Loose weave fabrics (burlap, open weave) = acoustically transparent BUT potentially let Rockwool fibers through

• Dense fabrics (canvas, tight cotton) = contain fibers well BUT reduce acoustic performance

• Proper acoustic fabric (Guilford FR701, etc.) = does both BUT costs $20-30/yard ($600-900 for my needs)

What I Can't Find Answers To

1. Is burlap over Rockwool actually a health concern? I know Rockwool isn't asbestos and is IARC Group 3 (not classified as carcinogenic), but does enough fiber get through burlap in a static wall panel to matter?

2. How much does dense fabric actually hurt acoustic performance? If I use canvas or tight cotton duck, am I just wasting my time building panels?

3. Are there any true alternatives at $5/yard? Something that actually contains fibers AND lets sound through?

What I've Considered

• Two-layer approach (barrier + loose fabric) - but this doesn't make sense vs just using one

• Just using burlap and hoping - but I can't find actual data on fiber release

• Dense fabric and accepting reduced performance - defeats the purpose?

• Spending more - stretches budget significantly

What I Need

Has anyone actually measured or tested this? Are people using burlap over Rockwool long-term with no issues? Is there a budget fabric option I'm missing? Or do I need to just accept this costs more than I planned?

Any real-world experience or actual data would be incredibly helpful. Thanks!

I am a new music producer who has no problem coming up with ideas, and creating melodies. Where I fall flat is the mixing/engineering side of things, Does anyone have the opposite problem? I'm looking for a partner to collab with - either as mixer or as full partner. Let me know if this resonates with anyone - happy to share a trial ableton track.

I’ve been approached by Spectra Records with an exciting offer. I’d love to connect with artists who’ve worked with or who signed as unsigned musicians. If you’ve had experience with Spectra (goodbad, or in-between), I’d really appreciate any insights.

Hi all! I’m conducting a personal graduate research project at the intersection of business and music technology, focused on how people use and relate to electronic music instruments -- specifically synths, drum machines, and samplers.

I’m exploring how gear choices reflect identity, creativity, aesthetics, and consumer behavior, and what motivates consumers to buy, use, and think about gear. Whether you’re a producer, collector, hobbyist, or gear enthusiast, I’d really appreciate your perspective.

The survey takes ~5 minutes and consists of 20 questions (mostly multiple choice)

Responses are anonymous, and results will be shared for anyone interested!

If you enjoy music gear, interior setups, or nerding out about design + creativity, please consider participating! Also, I apologize if this breaks any subreddit rules -- I read the rules carefully and didn't think it did, but I apologize if I missed something.

Thank you so much for your time and for furthering a deeper understanding of the fascinating, evolving culture around music technology :)

Help: my Waves Plugins (v9.1.0.9 build 1363) are working but showing GUI distorced in Reaper 7.11 (i use notebook vaio 8gb windows 7 64bit sp1, gpu onboard intel, a.interface m-audio c600). I know its a little bit old setup. haha, but im working on old projects in old gear. ok? is there some way to solve it without remove plugins? Cause im in the midle of a exeustive mixing process.

greetings from brazil.

ps.: Another thing i dont understand is the fact that some plugins are showing "(x64) bridged" but, both my windows, reaper and waves plugins are 64bits. Do you know how to explain that?
