SONIC TALK 145 - LIVE
We've got (almost) everyone together this week with PJ Tracy - Emmy winning musician returning after a spell of intense work, Dave Spiers from GForce Software is back too after a couple of weeks out to get on with making some of the finest software instruments. Rich Hilton takes some time out from his busy work schedule as a top notch engineer for Nile Rodgers to join us from Connecticut, finally Mark Tinley made it back from a hair raising ride on his new self built motorcycle too.

We have a whole bunch of new stuff all from Korg to talk about this week, including the microSampler, Wavedrum WD-X and Vintage Stage Piano SV-1. We then take a brief detour to take a look at the new Behringer website which bears more than a passing resemblance to the Apple one, the excellent MIT student project on music visulization MusicBox. We close on the everygreen subject of MP3 quality and what it does to our listening habits.

Incedentally, I have tweaked the post process to try an de-maximize the overall level of the podcast, how'd I do?
