Just One Fader is All I Need

A story about digital control surfaces: It used to be that in order to make real music you would use dozens of analog faders on a big mixing console. Then the faders went virtual. But we missed them. Now they're coming back - but with big fader boxes we once again lose our desk space, our portability, the freedoms that make us... Well, they cost more too.

But for many applications you only need one fader. For $199, compare the Presonus FaderPort vs. Frontier AlphaTrack.

new CD released :> The High Impededance

the high impedance from australia just released second CD available now �Behind The High Impedance we find one Steve Matzkov, who hails from Perth, Australia. He plays guitar and feeds the sounds through a whole series of effect units. Clearly inspired by a whole range of like minded (Flying Saucer Attack, Windy & Carl and loads of other drone people on guitars), he crafts his stuff together well. Although the music ranges from soft and ambient like to the more louder guitar wall of sound type of thing, I think it works best in the softer moments. Spacious music for spacious minds.� Vital weekly #313 feb 2002 go here http://members.iinet.net.au/~mercury1/thehighimpedance.html
