I haven't found a silencer mute design that doesn't gently caress with your sound considerably, but this is the best I've found. It works and you learn to work around its shortcomings for the purpose of practice. In other news, I'm buying another horn and moving to a bigger place where I won't have to use the silencer. Haha I actually searched back through the thread cause I knew you posted that guy's ebay shop before, but thanks again! And ah I thought you went with the silent brass for pickup reasons, not neighbour reasons  I just moved into our first home so I'm privileged to not have to worry, big I did that for the past 13 years or so, ha. What kinda horn you buying?I also think putting my horn through the Zoia is gonna be fun! I'll hopefully have some cool stuff to share soon, if I don't get it set up a weekday night I'm def spending time Saturday figuring it out(and probably freaking my cats out in the process since they haven't heard my horn in a long time)

Like you could do a really fun trancey rendition of Albert's Rise, and Ferguson's Chameleon I'm thinking might be really fun to electrify. Generally I'm not a big trumpet fan and that's not the direction I want to take it, but I just thought it sounds fun. Just as a side quest.

I’ve been grappling with using a trumpet in my current track actually. Turns out trumpets are a lot more complicated than I thought and there’s like a shitload of ways to play it and I have no idea how to make them sound like other trumpets I’ve heard  Tempted to just make this into an FM track, go full Koshiro since I always rip him off anyway.

For powering is speakers, I bought this a year ago for my work from home desk. BT20A Bluetooth 5.0 Stereo Audio 2 Channel Amplifier Receiver Mini Hi-Fi Class D Integrated Amp 2.0CH for Home Speakers 100W x 2 with Bass and Treble I am not a hi-fi expert but it powers two decent bookshelf speakers that were sitting unused in my basement. It allows me to also easily play music from our phones as well.

They do (or did lol) make those kinds of speakers and they’re OK. Something like the 21-549B (RS cat no), I use for such purposes. Euro, beatboxes, etc drive it no problem. Buuuut i doubt a monaural coms-grade driver is what you actually want.

I haven't paid a lot of attention to the trumpet but I've been kind of impressed with the sax voices on your relatively cheap Yamahas and Casios. I wouldn't be surprised if their brass instruments are pretty nuanced. ED: Like I've been fooling around with a PSR-290, a WK-1630, a DGX-500, they all have great sax voices. petit choux fucked around with this message at 16:04 on Oct 27, 2021 |

the 8FX has an advantage over similar size mixers with the PFL send. plus it takes a couple stereo lines which is nice if you have fancy stereo synths

If spending 13% more gets you 50% more channels in roughly the same package then maybe it’s worthwhile from a “making this mixer last as long as foreseeably possible and for as many possible outcomes” standpoint. TLDR: everybody says they “only need x-number of channels” and then they run out of channels and have to go buy a whole new mixer.

The Signature 22MTK (the one I’m hoping to eventually get to replace the 12) is even harder to find and also $900.

I really like Soundcraft, but the Signatures are like 6 or 7 years old at this point and I’m worried about buying back in to something that’s either gonna be replaced with something newer/better or where there are newer options from other brands with better multitrack performance/quality/etc

I’m honestly kind of spoiled by Vital. I don’t see many hardware synths that are as powerful. Where else can I hook up an LFO to another LFO to a volume envelope, two different filters, a phaser, and the transpose on one of my three oscillators? (not that I’ve made anything good with it  )

Although I’m sure Vital can pull off a lot of tricks the hydra can’t… That being said, the reason why I dig hardware synths is that I can’t do absolutely everything but the limited things that I can do (usually) have a great tactile user interface that I can drill into muscle memory. In reality though if there’s something that I need to get done for like a game or a video I’ll do it with VSTs in Ableton Live.

I think FM is the one thing I would only do in software, for importing patches and getting a harmonic range view (which I don’t think exists in hardware). Agreed on actual production. Though mileage may vary there as well, I got a USB MIDI controller but I don’t use it cause there’s no space for it on my desk and Renoise is optimized for mechanical keyboard usage  Shoulda just gotten a Reface.

In my boredom I connected my guitar directly into the OP-1 line in and spent some time sampling what THE COW did to it. This thing is just dumb fun. Add the cow to everything.

What did the cow do to it? Just had a thrift store score of a pretty obscure Yamaha keyboard, a YPR 30, probably from the 80s or so. The most minimal keyboard I've ever seen from them, just lots of solid black, has a slightly Darth Vader look about it. It only has like 6 voices, no drums or anything, but 16-voice polyphony. Heavy as hell. Nothing but an old school electric piano, basically, looks pretty classy. I've got a feeling this one sounds pretty good. Has the old school stand that's kind of integral. ED: Okay, it plays real nice, each one of those six voices is at least kinda good, it's a AWM (advanced wave memory, I think) device, which generally places it in the 90s for sound generation, I guess. What really matters with this is it's got a pretty responsive keyboard, pretty sensitive, and MIDI in and out. So it's got your most basics covered, and doesn't look like a toy. Everybody always asks for hammer action when I sell my cheap plastic pianos and I tell people that's a whole nother price range there guys. This is pretty sensitive. petit choux fucked around with this message at 04:10 on Oct 29, 2021 |

It added a bunch of weird UFO post effects when strumming, especially the fat E string. It would also pick up low noises like thumping muted strings and make the weirdest sounds out of it. I’m gonna have to clean it up at some point with a preamp or something because I had to have everything at 100% but after that I’m seeing some cool samples in the future.

Patch sound like a flattened turd? Just set unison to three voices with 3% detune, and layer on some chorus and delay!  Why is it that unison voices + detune works so well, anyway?
