If you value your health I would not go there. They are not handling this pandemic business at all. They closed all but a couple registers and theres a giant rear end line going back to the showroom and nobody is properly distanced.

I’m in MA, and just in general, we’ve been handling the pandemic way better than the vast majority of the rest of the country. Even just the social pressure aspect of it has been better than down south. I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve seen people belligerently flout the mask and social distancing rules in a business.

only sort of related to synthesizers but my friend just finished mastering a few of my tracks and its amazing how much a different set of ears can improve something that you felt was already pretty good. hopefully this means i can have a short little album of live synth music out before too long

But dumb people are everywhere, so stay safe and dont make dumb decisions for some lights. We are dumber in the South, but America is the worlds Florida, including MA.

A long time ago I saw a gothed out Marilyn Manson backstage sign that said: No Smoking and No Talking About Sports. I wish I could find a picture of that again. Anyway. I have a keyboard stand now and my plans worked out. The macbook fits perfectly on the DX7, doesn't interfere with anything. I am using it more for a midi controller and it does a fine job as far as I am concerned. I'm using Plogue Chipsounds. Might get some Valhalla effects later. Any recommendations? Just jamming really.

 Just for interest, lol at these space runes. I love it but the Yamaha engineers were so optimistic that anyone would ever make sense of that. Oh I wish I had an analog heat to run this through.

I come from the guitar world so Im all about that tube amp sound. Maybe get a pedal voiced to sound like a classic amp like an Echoplex 101. Give it that oomph you wouldnt get otherwise. Maybe get a nice analog delay like the El Capistan, or a nice analog chorus to really get that sound. https://youtu.be/wZj53A5RGoU Ferdinand the Bull fucked around with this message at 02:46 on Aug 31, 2020 |

I think the "Atlanta" part of your equation is the main factor, considering Georgia in general being a festering cesspool of covid ignorance.

I'm pretty sure MA thinks their high water mark in that department was House Of Pain, and they're from Los Angeles.

I think I'll just use the keyboard as a really nice midi controller + the front panel as a workspace for my laptop. Recording in midi is so much easier. https://soundcloud.com/thabirdg/i-love-momotaro I made this little ditty just now. It's mostly chipsounds but the dx7 did the lead. It's fun, I really like Ableton.

I guess you should mix and record with a cell phone speaker in mind these days, since thats how everyone interacts with the internet now. limiting the number of voices in your song so the waveforms don't get too complex for a lovely iphone speaker to handle, I suppose.

I agree, Atlanta is like any normal big city, but we are unfortunately surrounded on all sides by Georgians. My fiancee and I are actively looking at other parts of the US. We've both decided that being a car drive away from our families isnt worth this poo poo anymore.

I might buy regular old Renoise and just use 2 DAWs, and like chain Renoise into Ableton, even. Like a sort of master/slave relationship? I'm not sure the terminology.

Renoise rewires into other stuff really well, I went through a phase of using it like some supersampler rewired into either Cubase or Live

Behringer really knocked it out of the park with the TD-3. I haven't touched any of my gear in almost a year and this thing got me making terrible electro for hours.

Oldstench posted:Behringer really knocked it out of the park with the TD-3. Yup. Literally what people have wanted for like, 10 years now. Just recreate the sound of a 303 right on the money. Slap on even a basic rendition of the original sequencer, and make it dirt cheap. Its such a duh thing but everything else has either been super expensive (Avalon), so-so sounding and also DIY (x0xb0x), or basically poo poo (everything Roland has tried to do themselves with weird touch screens and software renditions).

Honestly I think the only reason to get a TD-3 or any 303/clone is if you have a legitimate fetish for the exact sound. Otherwise there's other synths that do the same things only "better"/with more options.

I'm an acid freak, so I had to have 'cause I'm sure as hell never shelling out the $$ for a real 303. That, and my x0xb0x never really did it for me. It's OK, but it never sounded right at all.

Like blurping out some randomish sawtooth squiggles alongside a 14-step TD-3 pattern it sounds proper Rolandy in concert.

My favorite part of the 303 is thinking about who on Earth thought this thing was worth bringing to market. The sequencer is almost impossible to program in one bar with, much less a whole song. It sounds nothing like a bass guitar. And why should the filter on a bass guitar simulator even be able to be pushed into self-resonance? Every part of this instrument is stupid, how did it make it past the first QA phase? What was this thing for? Anyway I love it.

What was this thing for? For the time the sequencer wasn't that bad. It's hard to get into the right mindset today, but at the time, computers were just arcane nonsense tech anyway. Almost all computer interfaces for dealing with anything were a nightmare like this. And, hell, if you think the 303 is bad, try programming a 202, or even worse an MC-4 or MC-8.

I really like my x0xb0x. The "atomic mods" (switches on the sides) makes the cutoff, res and env mod much higher range so it makes it a lot more expressive and fun to play with. The mods on top I never touch (not a fan of distorted 303 usually). I've never used a true 303 but I like the programming method the x0xb0x it uses and it's fun to fill a pattern with the notes you want and then just go complete random with up/down/slide and see what comes out.
