I see Apple has released new laptops using their own silicon.
Interested to see how logic runs on this new gear, particularly when running non-native binaries under emulation.
Early benchmarks suggesting they blow intel CPUs out of the water.
the production thread
i saw that. the initial reviews look good, but i won’t be going anywhere near it for a couple of years until it’s been publicly tested. going to try to stretch my mini as out as long as i can. if you’re running logic and only apple software though, i would assume it’s a pretty good upgrade.
yeah so pigments is fantastic. 
303abuser can you mess about with your own samples in it?
mono-stereo yeah that’s the first thing i did. nothing fancy, but just playing around with envelopes/filters/lfos and i already like it. it’s going to take months to really figure it all out though. even if you just look at it as money spent on entertainment, it’s good value.
Trying to be super disciplined this year. Scaler 2 is the only new plugin I actually want (other than reason / live upgrades). Anyone have any experience of using it?
haven’t used scaler myself, sorry. almost looked it up then decided not to in case i like it haha.
woke up at 430 this morning thinking about granular synthesis, i may have a problem. 
It’s a music theory plugin.
I just need to keep repeating my mantra - ’I don’t need anymore synths, I don’t need anymore synths’ (buys discounted synth) 
ah, i’ve got a kordbot for that, although i don’t use it as often as i should.
i will say, if you want to buy a synth you don’t need, look at pigments. this thing is fantastic.

Talk about clickbait - at the end he says he’s selling a lot of it but still keeping his favourite pieces.
I didn’t know he’d done so much film score work though, so at least I learned something from clicking on the video under false pretences.

Amps is there anything you ‘need’ specifically? like a compressor, eq, synth, etc? i have several of their plugins, but mostly more expensive stuff that went on massive discount.
edit: looking at their page now, maybe check out some of the unfiltered audio stuff, their fx related software can be a lot of fun for sound design. like sandman pro, dent 2, fault are all good prices. you can also demo anything to try it first too.
