Is this genuinely needed?

The very definition of good times!

Badum, tish!!!!!!

Smaller speakers blah blah blah more displacement blah blah. A big cab pushing air is a very fine thing.

Happy days

The Apple/non Apple hardware thing is real. They release updates which whack new knock of adapters out of the running. That is probably where the issue is. I have no Cubasis experience, but if I were to multitrack on an iPad I would be looking at Garage Band.

On the spur of the moment, I bought a Moog Sub Phatty. It appeared in the classifieds here and was "local" to where we were at the time. It turned our 5 hour journey home into an 8 hour journey. My wife is extraordinarily patient. I had been thinking about a small, monophonic synth for a long time and realised that the asking price was less than I would expect to spend on a bass. I have been messing with synth pedals for years, but this showed me that there is a reason keys played bass sounds different. Having all the controls in one place and accessible immediately has made playing and manipulating it very easy. Don't get me wrong, I am not doing Stevie Wonder bass (more is the pity) but I can do what I want with remarkable ease. It is SO much easier than doing a poor imitation on bass guitar. Am I going to keep it? I am not sure about that. Now that I have experienced it, I suspect that a midi keyboard running into Logic will provide all the synthy goodness I will ever need. But it is certainly my best ever impulse purchase.

I know it exists in France and in other places. Just imagine. https://www.bigissue.com/news/ireland-basic-income-scheme-artists/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Facebook&fbclid=IwY2xjawNxok9leHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETBtWTREamlHeXRnSEFpUGdEAR78RHRdvuSVagV9jVXJMOWNsYvbbd12fayeUuStFL0rbLQvJoHNz0oRyj3QnA_aem_lbdeRpo0P1km6wVd0wQ_Eg#Echobox=1761385832

Fortunately, my impulse control is significantly better than it used to be.

Filter preamps make my head hurt. But this thread has me fancying and Overwater Original.

I have one from the early 90's. I am quite a light guitarist and do not actually play much acoustic. So it lasted very well. Then one of my son's friends picked it up when they were rehearsing here. The finish got battered pretty quickly. I feel your pain.

I used to use one when I was into carrying stuff around. It was certainly shifting the air at the top of the Matterhorn. I used it under an SRM450 as my backline. It was totally innapropriate and I am sure the people at the other end of the room were getting more LF than they wanted. But I had a lovely time

A euphemism if I heard one
