·0 comments·

Featuring a hybrid topology combining a feedback diode-based design with a 12AT7 tube output section, the dual mono-channel NAIL offers practically endless possibilities in terms of compression control and envelope shaping. Engineers will quickly discover that a number of unique features, including Hard Threshold, Filter and Mix, set the NAIL apart from other more traditional compressors on the market.

Final MusikMesse post – Gearjunkies Video Tour

·0 comments·

Here it is, … our final MusikMesse post. This year (like the previous ones) we shot a lot of pictures and video footage. Not everything ended up in a post on Gearjunkies. But we thought we could compile most of the video footage and make a MusikMesse Tour to give you a short impression of the Messe this year. We want to thank all the manufacturers who gave us the opportunity to play with their latest gear. We enjoyed that very much. We call ourselves ‘gearjunkies’ for a reason of course!

·0 comments·

Do the vocals on your favorite song sound like a vocoded chipmunk?  Yes?  Did you use extreme auto-tune settings in the sensitive ballad you wrote for your girlfriend, who then dumped you because, as Jay Z said, “Auto-tune is Dead”. Never fear, you can now recapture the emotive intensity of your original vocal performance complete with the off-kilter, yet somewhat charming intonation for which you are known.
