Design Bundle 2024 macOS

TEAM HCiSO | 03 December 2024 | 131.89 MB

While most things these days are made over seas in huge factories with the singular goal of maximizing profits by cutting corners and using the cheapest components, Black Box Analog Design does things differently. In fact we take a different approach to most things. We are not interested in creating clones of old gear or building derivatives of popular gear. We are interested in creating gear that does something that hasn’t been done before, addresses a need we come across in the studio and takes a new approach to a problem or design. We didn’t start out as gear designers. We come from the studio world and years ago, our quest to solve certain problems we came across lead us to begin tinkering with circuits of our own. Since we came from an audio engineering background and not a circuit design background, we weren’t influenced by standard designs or restricted by thoughts of what we “should” do. Instead we allowed our ears to lead us in the right direction. Every part of our all analog circuits is assembled by hand and every component is painstakingly and precisely matched. We use a real, high voltage, linear power supply, custom wound transformers and the best quality components made.

Database of srials, Crcks for MAC OS X

Here is the well-known KCNcrew Pack (database of srials, crcks for Mac OS X). It’s like Srial Box, which has SN’s, crcks and patches. It would be best to have both of these collections, as this Pack often has serials you cannot find in the Serial Box. However, there is no way to view what serials, crcks and patches are new in this issue as compared to the previous.
