DESCRIPTION:The new monitors are in, and so is a new effects plugin! 
Tonight's show didn't go exactly as planned. SoundToys has released
SpaceBlender, which is free until May 22. I tried talk about how it (and
other effects plugins) can be a part of your sound design, but things
didn't work out as well as they did in rehearsal. Such is "live television"
I suppose. It's still a really neat reverb. At least the jams were good and
fun. 
And ... Initial impressions of the Adam Audio D3V near field / desktop
monitors. 
TIMELINE: 00:00 Begin transmission 00:00 The Opening Jam 15:35 Hello,
welcome, and ... 19:10 What's In The Jam - Launchpad Mini 21:30 What's In
The Jam - the instruments 32:20 My first impressions and first week with
the new Adam Audio D3V near field/desktop monitors 49:00 The down side to
good monitors. 49:30 Noises in the studio 56:50 Noise test: Do you hear any
noise? Quasor did. 1:01:55 SoundToys SpaceBlender quick demo and attempt to
use it as part of a sound design. I deviated from my script here, and we
suffer because of that. I won't do that again. 1:06:10 Drone achieved,
anyway ... 1:07:30 Mapping an LFO to controls within SpaceBlender 1:09:50
Finally trying the sound design bit. 1:12:30 Flailing around in Diva this
is a good section to skip ... LOL. 1:16:40 Here I switch to the Polybrute,
quickly build the patch I wanted to build in Diva. 1:26:00 Lightning
strikes 1:27:35 A possible shortcoming 1:30:00 UPS and power conditioning
in the studio 1:31:30 Expression pedal with Kontrol S, and parameter
mappings with the Kontrol S are a little tricky with the Kontrol S. 1:32:55
Very brief mention of master_me mastering plug-in. 1:34:10 Another aborted
attempt to map controls from Kontrol S to SpaceBlender 1:41:05 May need to
put Kontrol S into User Mode 1:42:00 Unpopular topic: tariffs. Supposed to
be a two-minute rant... But there's a bird flu and measles coming at us,
too. 1:56:45 Goodnights -- thanks for coming and even staying through the
rants. 1:57:55 The Closing Jam 2:12:36 End of transmission
