Alan Parsons 10 best bits of music gear ever MT reader Adam lives in California, near Alan Parsons, who engineered Dark Side of The Moon and lots more. Adam kindly picked Alans brain for me, persuading him to write this list of his all-time favourite gear... 1. Neumann Km84 Microphone - good for anything except vocals. 2. Fairchild 660 Tube Limiter - great for vocals and bass. 3. Drawmer Noise Gate - although modern plugins can do the job 4. Orban or dbx de-esser for problem sibilance on vocals 5. Audio Technica AT 4033 Microphone. Ive been using this as a favorite vocal mic. for years 6. Autotune when used tastefully. Most times it is overused 7. The Fairlight and the Linn LM1 Drum Machine changed the world. I worked with both. Its hard to imagine life without Sampling and Drum sequencers 8. A real orchestra with a great arrangement and a competent conductor. It saves hours and usually $$ too 9. Yamaha Motif XS synth. Easy to use and great sounds 10. Any DAW for time shifti...

220 000 cores and counting MIT math professor breaks record for largest ever Compute Engine job By Alex Barrett, GCP Blog Editor & Michael Basilyan, Product Manager, Compute Engine Editors Note : This post was updated on June 12, 2017. An MIT math professor recently broke the record for the largest ever Compute Engine cluster, with 220,000 cores on Preemptible VMs, the largest known high-performance computing cluster to ever run in the public cloud. Andrew V. Sutherland is a computational number theorist and Principal Research Scientist at MIT, and is using Compute Engine to explore generalizations of the Sato-Tate Conjecture and the conjecture of Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer to curves of higher genus. In his latest run, he explored 10 17 hyperelliptic curves of genus 3 in an effort to find curves whose L-functions can be easily computed, and which have potentially interesting Sato-Tate distributions. This yielded about 70,000 curves of interest, each of which will eventuall...
