Hi guys
I have been e-mailing Maratone studios (the address is on their website) and the person writing back signs " /tomas ".
Is this Tom Talomaa?
Anyone know?
It is the manager of Maratone studio, it is not Tom Talomaa!
I'm curious. What was your enquiry :D
sounds interesting, and also what is Tomas's reply?
Well since their e-mail is right on their website, I figured I would send them an email and see if I get a response.
The email I sent was a technical question "Hi, just wondering if you guys use VST's".
VST stands for Virtual Studio Technology incase you dont know. Its a plugin used on their recordigg software.
5 minutes later I get an automated email saying something like "thank you for contacting Maratone. Please check the FAQ section to see if your question is answered. If not, we will get back to you".
So then finally the next day I get a response saying "Hi, Max does not use VST's as they do not work in Pro Tools." signed /tomas
So thats my story :)
That's cool that they actually replied... they probably get questions all the time. They'd be using RTAS and TDM plug-ins, and possibly AAX which is slowly replacing the other two formats. But I'd say some of the plug-ins they use would come in a VST format though, just not all. You probably know all that, but just trying to help. :)
Yeah when they replied I was like :o
Yeah I know a little about all that stuff but thanks for the help. Honestly I don't really care what they use, I just wanted to see if they would respond haha
Lovely that they respond!
I wish we could get a picture for the Max Martin wikipedia article. I think someone tried once, but it has not happened so far.

Hahahahahha :D
Do you guys think that there is a chance that we could do a interview with Max?
I mean as we did with Jörgen.
Questions by our users where gathered and sent to them. Maybe Max would be up to it, despite having probably better things to do.

How about I send an email asking?
I meant a photo of Max :)
Regarding the interview it would be very cool to ask. They can't say more than "No"

Turnaround, I sent you a PM about this.
I think the chances that he will answer some questions are not that bad. I wrote to Maratone back in 2001 when they just started. I asked if I could do an interview with Max for an newspaper article. I was quite surprised when I got an answer from Alexandra Talomaa. She said that Max was extremly busy and won't do any interviews (what a surprise...lol). But she offered that she would forward the questions when I send them to her. So I did and a couple of days later I got another e-mail with the answers :D Well, that was over a decade ago, but I guess something like that could work again.

Totally off topic, but nice photo of the Leonard P. Zakim Bunker Hill Memorial Bridge :-P
And yes, that would be cool to have an interview :)

Lol she looks like she exploding of rainbows in that pic
Haha, I know. It's the only one I could find with her in a #13 Patriots jersey! I was probably one of the few people at her concert on the field that was as excited standing on the same field that so many awesome pats games have been played.
