I never had this problem before, but the more organ in a song, the more I was likely to hate it. By the end of this experiment the simple peal of rock organ caused me to squint and hunch in my seat, bracing myself for the next three minutes of music. It’s a crutch; when there is an uncertain patch, a musical problem to solve, the band thinks, “I know. We’ll use organ.” Now they have two problems.
even if you don’t have time to read through all of the song “reviews” and/or listen to them, it’s totally worth scrolling through this and reading the commentary that periodically interrupts the list of songs.
Speaking of, have you ever seen Johnny Staccato?

“In 1959 the U.S. Navy submarine USS Barbero assisted the Post Office Department, the predecessor of the current United States Postal Service (USPS) in its search for faster, more efficient forms of mail transportation with the first and only delivery of “Missile Mail”. Shortly before noon on 8 June 1959, Barbero fired a Regulus cruise missile — its nuclear warhead having earlier been replaced by two official Post Office Department mail containers — at the Naval Auxiliary Air Station in Mayport, Florida. Twenty-two minutes later, the missile struck its target.”
Apparently, some L5ey types think this idea could be the killer app that BlueOrigin/Armadillo Aerospace types need to cross the the chasm separating “hobby for rich nerds” from “source of rich nerds”. At first, this sounds insane. But think about if there was ever a functioning global market for body parts. 2am LA motorcycle crash = new heart for the emir’s son.

I’m going to get one of each of these and hook ‘em together and make some sort of a suit out of the whole thing:
Is Direct Note Access part of an AudioUnit/VST plugin? Or is it standalone?
its going to be part of Melodyne. There’s a plugin Melodyne (competes with Autotune, supposedly better for some things) and a standalone version that you can hook up through Rewire, etc. The plugin’s like…300 or something?
