Had a hardware jam

for the first time in ages last night. Whilst my gear is
very poor compared to my software in terms of quality, I got
some decent sounds out of it and had a good laugh. Whilst I
still think s/w is more practical and often better sounding,
I must concede that hardware is more fun. I'm going to have
to sort out a low latency soundcard soundcard with decent
midi support and get a few more midi controllers to allow
that sort of hands on control for all my software.

I was actually looking for my tape recorder (mixer isn't
wired up to my PC at the moment) to record it last night,
but realised I'd binned it a few months back as it had
broken and had way too much flutter. It was almost like a
flanger, I should have kept it as an FX unit.

One thing I really dislike about music with hardware is the
rigmarole/difficulty of saving it all for later
editing/remixing, or even if you want to work on it over
more than one sitting. Getting all the patterns/fx/signal
routing/wiring etc. the same, even with my limited setup is
a nightmare when you don't have an external sequencer and
patch bay. I can see why in "the olden days" people used to
do a track in one go. It's like using a demo copy of
software and having to render to .wav whether it's finished
or not.

Once I move into my new place I'm going to rebuild an old
machine and run it just as a sequencer. The newer PC will
remain the main software/pc based production machine.

On my own. I've not played with anyone else in ages. I've
been meaning to meet up with some lads in Bristol for a
proper jam for a few months though.

Kit list:
2xPDX2000
PMC 06 PRO D
ER-1
EA-1
Radio tuned to static (routed to audio in on ER-1)
Yamaha Portasound (forget what model)
Kaoss Pad
All going into a PMC-270A

I read the title and though your hardware was jamming up,
like glitching and breaking. That wouldn't be good.

Damnit, I want so much to have a hardware jam with some
people from this messageboard. If anyone is ever in Florida
(i'll drive to you but I can't drive much farther than FL,
lol), I've got 4 keyboards (2 Synths + 1 circuit bent casio
+ 1 un-bent casio), a 115watt keyboard amp, 2 NICE guitars
and like 3 not so nice ones, drums (my roomate's $1500
digital set), 100watt guitar amp, standalone vocoder unit,
mics.... basically all my money invested into music gear has
gone into hardware. I have yet to purchase a single bit of
software, but those are the next things on my list.

My Uncle lives in Florda, West Palm Beach. He's single and
he's a rich mother fucker.

Probably not. He just got his masters degree in Human
Relations, and became a professor at the college he
graduated from all within the same year. And he's not even
40 yet!

one I attend. :D

Working with hardware really gets the creativity going.

Agreed. I find software to be very uninspiring. Probly
because I work on the computer most of my day.
