A fantastic tip-off from Comrade Gareth. Over to him... "On the surface, it's a great idea - classy rackmounts for FMR Audio's Really Nice Compressor and Really Nice Preamp (god knows, they need it). But delve a little deeper in the "products" area and you get to a sublime range of blank rackmount panels, made to look like esoteric devices complete with knobs, switches, LEDs and VU meters. and they even sell a deliberately crap VST plug-in 'that Actually Makes Your Mix Sound Worse!'"
Thanks for the tip, Gareth. That plug-in seems to be the first mainstream piece of software-as-satire. Now, if only I had a rack, I'd be shelling out for a full set of exotic hardwood blank panels. Bling!.
wonderful - although the software as satire link seems to have been moved.
ReplyDeletenevertheless, i'd buy any of these products:

The link seems to be working now...
ReplyDeletei just noticed that protools now comes with the plug-in bundled in.
ReplyDeletequoted as producing lo-fi effects.
so... is it satire or is it art?

My favorite was their Algorhythmic Prosecutor with the Funkerator knob labeled "The Bradys" to "Thumb Poppin' Good". I bought one for a producer friend a while back...
