Paul Vnuk Jr. Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Hello friends! I am Paul Vnuk, the editor of RECORDING Magazine, and I am excited to join the MPN family and hang out with you all in the newly re-christened RECORDING Magazine-The Forum. A bit of background, I have been an audio engineer for more years than I care to count. I am a synthesist, drummer, percussionist and vocalist. I have had a 30+ year tribal-ambient music career and spent about 10 years as a professional sound designer releasing sound design and sample libraries for several companies, including Sony, Sonic Foundry, Peace Love Productions and M-Audio. I also am the technical director of a medium-sized 2000-seat church where I run live sound, handle recording and streaming, and oversee the tech volunteers. I also sing and play drums on the worship team. Like many of us, I am a gear nut––microphones, preamps, compressors, synths, plugins––I love it all. It's a strange thing to say, but over my years as a reviewer, my predecessor estimated that I have probably tried, used and reviewed close 900+ pieces of recording gear...yikes, I need to get a hobby. I am pleased to meet you! Tomorrow I will pop in to tell you a bit about RECORDING Magazine, whats coming up in our January issue and how you can get a free digital subscription. 5 1 Quote Editor - RECORDING Magazine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KuruPrionz Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Welcome Paul! I'm looking forward to this forum coming back to life! I put in a fair effort trying but don't seem to have the knack for getting it going. Cheers, Kuru 1 Quote It took a chunk of my life to get here and I am still not sure where "here" is.

I put in a fair effort trying but don't seem to have the knack for getting it going. Cheers, Kuru Kuru, you beat yourself half to death trying to keep this forum up and relevant, and you deserve a huge round of applause for all your hard work. I hope that the REC team gives you a whole lot more support than I managed to. I hereby crack the official champagne bottle across the bow of this rechristened and relaunched forum. May it draw in and engage a wonderful new community of recording musicians and audio enthusiasts. I wish Paul, Alex, and all of the writers – many of whom are old friends with whom I've sadly lost contact over the years – every success. Enjoy the issue forum!

I reviewed it for Electronic Musician IIRC (or maybe it was EQ), and put together an audio example with loops from the sample library. Andddddd...here's what it sounded like. ContinentalDrift.mp3 BTW I gave the library a great review 2 Quote Craig Anderton Educational site: http://www.craiganderton.org Music: http://www.youtube.com/thecraiganderton Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/craig_anderton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
