Wonder what he's doing, and whether his mood's improved...

Apparently Bomb Factory is now a recording studio in L.A. http://www.bombfactory.net/ ,not sure about his disposition these days though.

What's the story with the Bomb Factory guy? What happened?

I love Dirty Laundry, out with it!

Nothing that specific,just that he pretty much made a jerk out of himself at the DUC(Digidesign forums)on a regular basis,and also arguing with Digidesign themselves making it an embarrasing situation. I guess one hilight was when he trolled the UAD forums under several user names claiming their plugs were bogus and posting links to charts showing how the BF plugs were supposedly superior. He basically acted like the epitome of a troll on various forums. It was fun for a while though.

M4M, can't you type in Notepad (or whatever the Mac text editor is) and do a find-and-replace to replace the underscores with spaces? Or, better yet, find a key remapping tool?

Perhaps Liquid Mix includes a space bar plugin.

I doubt there are more than 4 or 6 dsp's inside judging by the size of the unit. See above for price.

I have experience with early 1178 and revision H 1176). I have captured some compressors myself and it is impossible to get the compression action itself identical to the original unit. You can get pretty close but not nearly as close as the UAD plugins are. However, on the other hand you can get the "tone" of the box so close that I have not been able to find it in a blind ABX test (I tried this on my crappy DBX 376 tube channel thingy). This also applies to EQ units, they can be captured pretty much identical to the original which makes the Liquid Mix very good value...

bManic thanx for your input. I'm dissapointed somewhat, but at the same time somewhat pleased by your review.

The EQ seems to worth it's value, considering the URS plugs are about the same price, and the trade is more variety vs. latency(when comparing to URS Eq bundle).

The compressor info dissapointed me alot.

I've been around the web some and heard some examples vs the real hardware units, and it seems as though liquid channel kinda dropped the ball on this part. Hopefully they improved this, but I doubt it.

Oh well, hopefully the controller can control other vst...

I don't know anything about Power Books, but I've replaced the keyboard on this Dell laptop 3 times and it's really easy (like 4 screws and a ribbon cable). I bought the keyboards on eBay for about $20 each I think. They probably have keyboards for your Power Book, too?

Add some DSP horsepower! Watch out, TC & UAD, look at this!
