I'm not going to go reread thousands of pages but this thread absolutely predicted the rise in price of romplers a couple years ago for field recordings, should I just try to capture stuff on my iphone mic? get a baby zoom / tascam? what about the lightning connector mic attachments for iphone? I want to grab wildlife sounds and like, crackling bonfire noises (we're going camping soon). probably all very quiet stuff. and 24bit / 44100 for octatrack compatibility

Don’t spend money on something with a lightning plug that only works with your phone and nothing else tho.

Maybe not the right thread, but does anyone know where I can download a 32bit version of orca? It exists, or existed at least. Would love to chuck it on my old netbook.

I thought it sounded off, so I ended up turning it into one of my regular beep boop tracks. I did a few more including these two, which I thought turned out well: https://alonetone.com/spacehoers/tracks/dungeon-synth-1 https://alonetone.com/spacehoers/tracks/dungeon-synth-2 I used a plugin called Liquid Music on them, where you set a scale and chord progression, and then draw in how you want the melody to go, but that felt like I was cheating, so I stopped using it.

The default app records in some lovely format, needs to be converted with itunes (possibly the worst piece of software ever). I’ve thought about getting a recorder but would probably never carry it around vs a phone, mic for the phone might be fine for me.

I have a handheld stereo Tascam and it's actually very quiet and responsive, but whoa nelly is there some handling noise. That hard plastic case can be an issue. It's definitely better than my phone, though.

God help you if you happened to press any of the buttons on the unit while you were recording, though.

Do people have a favorite midi controller that comes in 61 keys and is there any point to getting something like an mx61 versus soft synths for playing at home?

AverySpecialfriend posted:Do people have a favorite midi controller that comes in 61 keys and is there any point to getting something like an mx61 versus soft synths for playing at home? ime software vs hardware pretty much comes down to how much a tactile/immediate experience is important to you; software has more power and versatility in most cases. I dislike having knobs and sliders on my controller be reassigned when a new instrument is being controlled because I lose track of where things are and get frustrated for example. But if you don’t mind working in a DAW there’s a huge amount of very good free stuff to play with so a good controller and soft synths is much cheaper to do unless you buy a bunch of fancy plugins

Being used as what? WandaVision had some kind of controller prominently visible at times too, and Legion also had some kind of synth standing in for lab equipment. Can't fault the prop people, they're readily available, have lots of knobs and flashing lights and wires and don't look immediately like anything else.

I guess in the end, it's worth the price, but the music it does is sort of 'canned' sounding. This might be because I haven't mastered it. You can select scales, modes, and then edit the sequences by hand after the fact. But for me, a lot of it came out sounding sort of the same. It's not bad by any means. From a generative standpoint, I'd say you'd like it regardless. From a practical standpoint, I'm not sure how worthwhile it'd be. I get into generative moods and use marbles with rings and elements and this simply adds to it all. One thing that I think would make it more worthwhile is something how marbles has a gate and pitch knobs that allow each sequence to slowly mutate or widely mutate depending how much you turn them, and even a way to keep the sequence going. I don't see anything like that on the NDLR yet.

I don't see anything like that on the NDLR yet. I've had to really play with the motifs to find which ones go together and then heavily process them with delays, bitcrusher and a Fuzzrocious octaver to move them around the beat to shake that canned, staid feel. I kick myself for not recording my last time because somehow I got an Ennio Morricone spaghetti western sound out of the chord progression for the Beatles' "A Day In The Life" using only the piano setting on my Korg X5. I am just starting to explore what I can send to it with a computer (mostly just chord progressions right now) and I think you can change everything as you go.

Interesting - from watching demos I'd gotten a similar sort of impression. It looks cool and fun, but I don't know that it would be particularly useful, although I can see happy accidents popping up now and then. It looks like getting into the menus and changing stuff on the fly would add some variation, along with messing with parameters on the synths themselves.

I built a paia theremax kit years ago. I just got it as a bare PCB/component kit and built my own case and antennas. It was a good kit and it's been a good instrument. The only issue I have with it is that it goes out of tune (the coils inside) a lot and it takes a lot of fiddling with the coils to get it to work again. I'll pop up some pics of my build later on.

  So here it is The case is an artists box from some craft store I wanted it to be in a brief case but I couldn't find a good one at the time. The antennas I got thick copper wiring from home depot, bent it, polished them, and soldered them to XLR connectors so they are detachable. I really need to tidy up the wiring it was supposed to be temporary while I got it working and it's been that way ever since.

I got an Elektron Model:Samples today and the pad sensitivity (or lack thereof) is really bugging me. I changed the VDep on the pads to 100 but it's still not very usable for me, I'm hammering on it just to get something around 50. Does everyone just turn it off altogether? I saw one Youtube video about opening it up and messing with the pads.

Never understood pressure sensitivity on pads. I always turn it off and go back in by hand and tweak, because you're just going to do it anyway even if you don't.

Fortunately everything else about the Model:Samples is pretty great.

Yeah I set mine with set velocity and it has been smooth sailing. The sensitivity is really goofy but I quickly realized that I don’t really need pressure sensitive pads anyway, even as someone who like a “live feel”. I need to post my Model:Samples gush soon because I absolutely love this thing. Honestly one of those pieces of gear that feels like it has totally changed the game for me. I never realized how much I needed a sampler. Also lol @ me getting pumped to grab some various classic drum machine samples to try out and ending up getting the $1 CR-78 from Samples From Mars to try their stuff out and realizing that it may be my favorite drum machine! I barely even crave that 808 pack I was eyeing up for days and days. Nah jk I still want it and have been making cheek to cheek gently caress jams since grabbing their freebie 808.

Get the Puremagnetik Century when it goes on super discount (currently sitting at $200 down from $500 msrp but it gets way cheaper on Black Friday, etc) and never buy sample packs again (unless you want to).
