Am really enjoying them with these on. Puts the bass pretty much right in between flats (too muddy for me) and bowls (a bit remote). Comfy, too. Disadvantage -- butt fugly.
Dewwwwwwwwww Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!
For the paranoid among us, this is a neat little free utility, given that what few Mac attacks there currently have tended to try this vector.
Al, please ask him if the mini version supports FLAC and ALAC (or at least if it is going to down the road). I was a "hell no" at $1500, but am a "hmm, maybe" at $400.
Alright, let's get off the PCP and back to the DSP.
I'll try and get in touch with Sonic Studio and see if there are any further specs available. I know Al knows Jonathan Reichbach, who is behind this stuff, so maybe he can get us some good info?
Pretty blatant eye-poking for the corporate arena. I guess Palm at this point doesn't really have much to lose. If the Pre isn't a big hit, they're toast.
Without getting into the whys and hows of Amarra -- when playing with Al's rig at CanJam I did like how easily you could toggle it on and off to get a feel for whether you actually enjoy whatever it is doing to the music.
I wonder if they'll trial the mini version the same way they do with the full suite? And I wonder if FLAC and ALAC support is baked in now that big brother has it? If not, I woudn't think they're going to make many inroads even at the lower price point.
The Waterboys -- Fisherman's Blues
As reissues go, this one is well worth it. The previously-unreleased material just about adds up to another damn fine album all on its own.
Interesting.
Focused on pure playback, it seems. You apparently give up A/D, equalization and 24/192 support (caps at 24/96) for your $1100 savings -- though that's all second hand scuttlebutt.
