Still can't touch DJS.

link? :-)


There are many brands, but

one, part no 5638AB. (there's a polish language option there somewhere
:-) )

P&G faders are magnetic.

Now that mixer sure looks neat! What are you missing in it?

I didn't use the early VST filters, but I have a hard time seing how a
crossover could benefit from "sound". Of course it's a totally different
thing with the good old resonant lowpass filters, but even those aren't too
difficult or CPU intensive to make sound good even in the digital domain.
Just listen to the Audiorealism Bassline. http://www.*audiorealism*.se

The delay comes from the fact that the audio has to be processed by

Duh! :-)

Sure, but it also have to do with how you optimize your software. My guess
is that Live is written in a way to maximize the potential customer base by
making it run without audio dropouts on many computer setups. If you have
enough DSP horsepower, and program it right, you don't have to get any
noticable latency. Normally PC software synthesizers and stuff process audio
in chunks of several milliseconds because this is more CPU efficent. You
don't have to do it this way.

Keep it up
