Early 90s bedroom producer tips - do they still work? (Yamaha EX5, ZOOM R24)

video by Floyd Steinberg

"Table of contents below! In the early 90s, cheap Sound Blaster cards and Sound Canvas clones introduced quite a lot of people to electronic music production, but it would still take another 5 years before digital audio workstations would arrive in the home studios. This was a time when you had to come up with creative solutions to improve the sound of your music without having access to professional equipment (or the internet). Here are 7 common tips I picked up in magazines of the day. ;-)

"This 3 VCO monster is completely and fully analog. Zero digital control over anything.

It also has an SH-101 style sequencer/ARP as well as being semi-modular.

If you know about Analogue Solutions, you know they're legit.

This is build to stand vertically on it's own but can be put into a rack.

This is minty fresh."

video by Starsky Carr

"Cherry Audio - Soundalike or Lookalike - Great value synth plugins but are they anything like the hardware. Luckily I have a few synths lying around so I can out them to the test. A review and demo of the PS20."
