Really impressive rebuild with a lot of smart working decisions. I find the bit about missing EXS24 curious. I'd use Logic myself as a preferred sequencer but for the lack of a comprehensive sampler, that is, EXS24/Logic Sampler can only apply Filters and LFOs to the entire program, not on a sample or zone level. When they updated EXS24 into the newer Sampler I was most surprised to see they still had this limitation. If you use Kontakt, Falcon, MPC or Ableton's sampler, moving to Logic's built in Sampler presents you with a huge sound design limitation in that sense. It's funny how in 2024 we still have tools with peculiar limitations, for example the MPC hardware/software cannot use a free-running LFO so basically every LFO you use is retriggering with every key or pad press. Note to Akai - that's called an envelope where I come from 🤦♂

Sorry this happened to your studio! In October 2006 one morning I got a call from the singer of the band I was in at the time asking "Did you have any gear in the studio? because it's burned up." The rehearsal building we were in burned down due to a carpet factory next door going up in flames. We were lucky because we were on the ground floor and only had smoke and water damage from the fire fighters blasting hoses into the small window we had in the room. Only one amp didn't make it and that was solely because it was turned on before it hadn't dried out. All the other musicians in the building were affected. Most lost everything. It was horrible. One of them said how he lost his masters and his back ups. and that, has always made me think to keep them in separate places from then on!

Nothing I’ve used has come close to this amazing DAW. So user focussed and is an absolute beast in many ways!

I can't imagine looking at flames and knowing what that means. Also, ace to see Andy on Cubase. It's a monster.

Knowing that Cuebase has the depth needed for heavy lifting, I still can't bring myself to sit down and learn it.

A beautiful space, light and airy. Andy's xpander looks like it's in mint condition. Beautiful sounds and remarkably easy to program. It had quite snappy envelopes, so maybe it's one of the later ones that Gibson built when they acquired oberheim. The ones I've used were great for pads and complex modular drones, as they had less snappy envelopes. It's 6 part multi timbral, 6 voice (with 6 outputs), with c/v & gate AND MIDI . Basically They're half a matrix 12 sans keyboard. Thank you for uploading 👍
