The Cleaner posted:You need gear, and LOTS of it. You left out the part about how cassette multitracks are a gamechanger, but pretty much this. You'll only need about 10k worth of stuff to do primitive sequencing and here's where computers can be helpfull. An Atari ST can be had very cheaply and they are a million times better than anything because modern computers are universally incabable of sending midi (fact). Mixing and such are not important, the cheapest behringer will do, only thing you need is a single stereo file.

AxeBreaker posted:I almost thought about getting a cheap mixer but that would be really lovely to record from and probably isn't a long term solution. Yeah don't get a mixer if you plan to record anything. I've allways used an interface + converter(s) if need be. Behringer ADA8000 is really cheap for extra 8 channels, I have two ports so I'll just get another if I need more channels. My bandmate has 3 ada8000's currently.

The sampler has been the one volca I've been interested in, might have to buy it. Also the more gearslutz have been crying and bitching about it the more I've wanted one. "It's a loving toy and not a SERIOUS musical instrument like the 303"

Replace your laptop&controller with a tiny monitor, some of the cheapest Akai and a huge loving box for 5k? Great idea.

stillvisions posted:I've sorta come to the conclusion that cheaper gear/more funds can be detrimental to making music if you're not careful, because it's more likely to lead to the cycle of deciding whatever you have isn't enough, buying another piece of gear, barely scratching the surface with the easy stuff it does, then deciding another piece of gear is the thing that will make it all work, repeat. I totally did this for a few years, no music got made, 'slutz got read.

64bit_Dophins posted:Is the delay on the monotron delay good enough to use with a guitar (or another instrument) during a live performance? I'm temped to get one as a fun thing to mess around with but if they delay is rear end I won't bother. The delay is analog style so it distorts and mangles with the filter nicely. It hisses some if that is an issue.

Your Computer posted:Depending on your unit (it varies wildly) it can actually hiss enough that you barely hear anything else They're pretty amazing toys if you mod them for CV and/or use them as sample sources. edit. by "analog style" I ment that when you change delay speed it raises/lowers pitch instead of just changing the delay length + distortion on high feedback levels.

Not because it's "analog style" but because they're very rudimentary and basically toys.

BonoMan posted:So, uh, very amateurish question. I'm mostly into the video side of filmmaking things, but am looking to start accenting some of my stuff with some audio. I hesitate to say "score" because I'm definitely not a composer. I can play guitar and carry a rhythm, but that's about it. I'd advice to start with a DAW and virtual instruments. You can basically do a album for free on the computer (or throw away tons of money on some out of the box wetdream). The volcas/microbrute aren't going to be much use by them selves, sound will come out and they will be mostly/maybe/pray be in sync with each other but you can't do much about it. I have volca/microbrute and some other stuff as a small unit themselves trough a small mixer that I sample and treat as a noise source, the "real" instruments are routed seperately. The DAW would allow you to produce things vs something happening and knobs twisting. Ofcourse improvisational electronics are a thing by them selves but it takes time before that starts to sound anything like music/listenable.

BonoMan posted:Great advice thanks! Is there a DAW thread? In any case working with sound is easier when you have the tools available. Pretty soon your going to want to use effects,EQ,layering etc and they usually come with the DAW, otherwise you'll need to buy a bunch of more poo poo, bigger mixer and so on*. *youre probably going to buy a bunch of poo poo anyways. It's a sickness.
