    I'm pretty sure it's a Sound Factory triangular, as I realised that I'd already asked about this several years ago and a nice PFM-er sold me an extra SF level!. Stephen

    It's a Sound Factory triangular — just to remind myself if I need to get extra bits in the future! Stephen

    Probably 2006/7. NAC 102/NAP 180/CD3.5/Naim Intro II/LP12/Rega Arm (RB300)/Linn Cartridge (KLYDE?). I still have the LP12, Rack and Zerostat (I think all three I bought/was given used from Graham H of this parish). Anyone know what the rack make is? Stephen

    Hi all. Looking for a 52 with MC Phono boards. I already have a Supercap but might go for a 52/52PS if the price is right. Thanks!

    Tandberg Cassette Deck Servicing/repair

    Hi all I've just picked up a Tandberg TCD 310. I wondered if anyone had any recommendations for someone to service the deck? Regards Stephen

    What are you listening to right now #64

    While I have most of the studio albums on vinyl, listening to the whole in one go makes you realise how sonically interesting the albums are—even their hit singles are a recording tour de force. Pop music in the 1970s was so inventive. Stephen who owns a Gizmotron.

    A bit about AI and the future of music, and that devilish Auto-Tune

    Indeed. Mythology has it that it was all an early hardware version of AT. I've see that denied and confirmed in various interviews! Ah for the old days when you needed to use gas to change your voice. 'In 'Willow Farm' Gabriel sings 'Mum to mud to mad to dad', his voice apparently changing...

    A bit about AI and the future of music, and that devilish Auto-Tune

    I agree that computers can do, and allow us to do, very boring tasks. I am a spreadsheet fan and wrote my own before VisiCalc conquered the earth. And I agree that ML has potential to do amazing (and dangerous) things. Pattern recognition is a wonderful and terrible thing. I was talking about...

    A bit about AI and the future of music, and that devilish Auto-Tune

    Autotune has become a generic term for pitch correction (like Moog or Hoover) but it has other uses beyond the obvious 'Cher effect' (although there is some debate, whether that was actually an early version of AT or something very different), but the effect is the same). Say you play a guitar...

    A bit about AI and the future of music, and that devilish Auto-Tune

    We were told when we were young, the robots would do all the boring jobs such as cleaning, doing the washing up et cetera, leaving us, humans to be creative. Turns out that robots are really bad at the boring jobs, but pretty good at the creative ones. (Disclaimer: There is, currently, no such...

    this is a terrific album from Nick Magnus. My mate Tim Bowness sings on the lovely 'Broken' Some guy called Steve Hackett also plays on it.
