I have a moog little fatty. I don't suck, but I am still not spectacular. |

You own all the music gear in the universe it seems. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

Only some music gear. I end up selling it as much as I obtain it, because I need something to do with my money or else I don't end up wanting to work. Here is a picture of my current setup. I just ordered a fatman from Paia, so as soon as I receive that and build it, that will be my sixth synthesizer. I will be painting the case of that red and black, and making it look soviet. Then I am going to work on collecting more moogerfoogers. |

Oh yeah, the nord lead 3 is no longer part of the setup. |

I pretty much don't know what any of that stuff is... (Here is all my gear: modplug tracker (free)) Like, basically, does this stuff allow you to record sounds you contruct directly into that computerish doohicky (instead of recording through air via a microphone). How much do you think all that costs together, maybe if bought used approximately. I've never used any hardware (except a pc) and am not sure if I even like music in a conventional way to get that serious. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes. The mixer allows multi channel recording. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Why is all the stuff better than software; because you can alter sound easily with knobs or something? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Thats subjective of course. I equate software to pornography. If you want to be able to see it an hear it without touching it, its the most logical choice. But if you prefer being able to touch it and feel it along with all the headaches that accompany it, there really isn't much of a choice. Then again, women are expensive, and porn is cheap, or free if you choose to ignore the law. |

Interesting fetish you got there; thanks for sharing. Remind me not to borrow your equipment though as it probably has cum stains on it. |
||||||||
|

|
|
Post a track, taxi. I'm curious what that rig sounds like in full flight. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, or just post 'regret' again cuz its wikd. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Your mom is covered in cum stains and you never complained before. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That's because my mom is an eggo waffle and it makes perfect sense for eggo waffles to be covered in cum stains. |

I will try to do some loops for posting tonight. Here is one of the JX3P being run through the quadraverb. I rarely finish anything more than the occasional loop, and even then I rarely save. Its not that I am lazy, I just don't make music for the sake of finishing anything. I just like fucking around with sounds ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Don't you like to build up into more complex organizations which would require saving (or a single really long period of time). This minimal thing alone is nice; I guess hardware has better sound quality than software. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't like seeing music as a 'work' so much as something that is an experience that is cheapened through the act of saving it, more or less. Well, its more that I am so antisocial I don't like the idea of people partaking in experiences that I find personal. But sometimes its nice to show off what I have ;) |

tody i start a worshop in digital audio with reason. apparently it's based on the "teaching music with reason" course but with more topics. i hope after those two months i suck a lil bit less |

thankgod I am not the only one who fiddles around making sounds and not trying to finish stuff. It's really relaxing after work to go out for a walk, have some dinner, then sit down with the hardware for an evening of synth noodling. I also realised I often enjoy sampling records and finding superb hidden choice drums and snippets more than actually using them. if I ever did release an album it would blow your minds Im sure. Taxi: did you sell your evolver for the poly one in the end? I sample the hell out of the mono one I have and do it in wonderful poly from the akai :) Evolvers are such good fun. Also you seriously need to check out the JJOS for mpc1k. its so much better than akai os and its almost stable now (far less bugs than latest akai) look at the screenshots at the bottom of the page! |

my bf has a polyevolver, it makes a nice light exhibit when you turn it on |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but what does it sound like? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Like evolving polyness...no, I really can't differentiate between that and anything else he has :/ |

good god man theres no such thing as sucking at music . just because you are not getting a record deal does not mean that you "suck", the world of music and sound is so ridiculously big - record labels and deals and artist reputations have probably less than 5% to do with it - it is all about the sound music has nothing to do with record labels and reputations... etc, etc. its too big and its so powerful and its way too meaningful. who the fuck cares. |
||||||||

do you think a congolese drummer who makes dope beats 7 hours a day cares about his reputation or what people think about what he's doing ? |

Polyevolvers are pretty awesome. I am going to be buying a monoevolver keyboard. I used to have the module, but the interface annoyed me so much I sold it. They can do pretty much any sound you want, given your skill level. Using the modulation facilities, you can take it from authentic sounding vintage 'old' synthesizer to IDM mess with a movement of the modulation wheel. There is no limit to what you can do with it, or how good it can sound. You can even sequence the tempo of the sequencer. That said, I prefer the overall sound of my moog to the evolver, so it is practically limitless, but still not the 'best'. |

I suck because i can't do the things i want. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

My suggestion would be to see it as something to work towards and not something you should be. Nobody gets as good as they want overnight, or ever. Even the people who are top of their game are always getting better, and I am sure are capable of seeing just above their current skill level. The trick is to not throw money at it just to buy gear that will make you sound better. It doesn't happen. |

Which Akai polysynth do you have? I have been lusting after the one for a while now. Apparently they use the same chips as some of the prophets (which are the precursors to the evolvers). I think its the six trak which is the prophet I want the most right now. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no when I said akai, I meant the S5000, a SAMPLER! its got 64 voice (i think) polyphony so I often layer up evolver sounds in that to produce absolutely monster programs, as I'm sure you can imagine add a bit of reverb and delay and grin like a mad man! did you have a look at that link? the jjos is so fantastic, it has literally doubled the usefulness of the mpc. |

Are you thinking of the AX 60? About ten years ago I used to jam with a keyboard player who had one and left it at my place between jams. It was awesome to fiddle around with. I got some great Vangelis bladerunnery tones out of it. The stupid fucker later got rid of it and bought a cheap ass rompler because he wanted more realistic piano tones. :-( |

I have looked at that JJOS before. I still am not too interested yet. I probably will sometime in the near future, but its not in the cards today. I don't want to change my workflow at all right now. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, that seems to be the way. The stupid things killed synthesizers pretty much. |
||||||||
|

PLAYING WITH COMBINATOR IS SOOOO FUN NOW! even tho i only have a slight idea of what the hell i'm pluggin, configuring, whatever.. |
