VoodooXT posted:Lol, LGR Guy decided to bust out his synths and it turns out he's better than most people on Youtube with modular setups I watched it expecting it to be video game/chiptune dogshit or some modular/dawless noodling. But like the some of the first clips were playing and I was thinking ”thats a hella nice drone”.

I used Scream Tracker a lot in mid nineties - early 2000’s. Used to be able to do everything with just the keyboard, made hundreds of songs/things on it. Tried it out again maybe 6 years ago and discovered that I had forgoten everything, it was extremely limited and lovely. Tried Renoise and got a bit further with it before abandoning it and going back to my regular DAW. Last summer I bought a Renoise lisence for my laptop and spent some time with it. Went back to Live in a couple of weeks, just so used to visual arrangment and being able to see waveforms, moving sections/tracks around etc. No going back for me. Also have digitakt and analog keys, the pattern chain in akeys would be loving great if it was possible to save chains. Only usable ”song mode” is to have another sequencer send the program changes, worked great on live when I tried it but not something I’d do normally.

I didn't get much of ambient/drone/noise stuff untill I started doing that kind of stuff myself, now I'm leaning much more in that direction vs chord progressions and melodies etc. I built a diy feedback loop pedal a few years ago and put together a pedalboard kind of deal with a volca sample and some pedals i wasn't using. Really got into noise from there.

ricecult posted:I feel like The Clash is a good example, they were one of the bands that defined punk, but an album like London Calling is not what people usually think of when they think of something sounding punk. Lol, I heard the whole album first time last year. Was expecting more like the title track and it was really jarring when it went straight to old timey rock n roll bullshit about a loving cadillac on track 2.

A MIRACLE posted: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 I have recorded a bunch of stuff with iphone, it’s surprisingly usable. 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.

skull mask mcgee posted:if you’re talking about the voice memos app those are just m4a files which can be converted with most normal encoding software though you may need iTunes to copy them off phone. I remembered that Audacity couldn't open those files, checked and it needs the FFmpeg library on pc. Now I dont need itunes wich is loving sweet, thanks!

NonzeroCircle posted:Just out of interest, what distortion pedals do people like with their synths? I was playing some simple acidy bass line off my microfreak through a couple of mine yesterday (initially my SF300, then my Boss OD3 which sounded great), I've got a few more kicking around but so far the amount of character the OD3 adds is a winner in my book. Wayhuge swollen pickle, definetly doesn’t cut any bass. Boss hyperfuzz, digitech deathmetal, wmd geiger counter all work decently. Also Ibanez tonelok bass distortion, works great on drums. Also a graphic eq is really useful/mandatory with distortion. Boss sd-1 is utter loving garbage on anything that isnt a guitar before a tube amp.

I got the Pigments update yesterday, it rules. I remember back in v collection 4 days Arturias synths were buggy garbage that sounded like poo poo, now I use v & fx collection allmost exclusively for my third party plugin needs and their ”software center” is the best I’ve ever used. Still wouldn’t buy their hardware, microbrute was such a piece of poo poo.

inferis posted:I liked my microbrute okay but I hated the filter so I never used it I got mine for cv/gate and neither worked. Gates wouldnt trigger my envelopes and cv wasn’t nowhere near calibrated (IIRC user calibration was not recommended, would change tuning when you removed the screwdriver etc). Synth itself just sounded meh.

It’s not that their controllers don’t have problems, theres a giant thread on muffwiggler on micro usb breaking in beatsep pros.

You can also use AC coupled with modular but only for clock/triggers.

SpaceGoatFarts posted:For your price range get a Erica Synths Pico system 3. Yeah, I saw the 400$ and thought that would maybe be enough for a case and power. I have somehow put ~7000€ into euro in about 5 years and I barely use it nor am particulary interested it in anymore. Eurocrack indeed.

All of the above. Desktop at home, laptop elsewhere. I nowadays usually start with recording something on the modular, synths or feedback/noise pedalboard and arrange and add to it in Live. This works for me because pure DAWless is noodly dogshit and this way I can mix and mangle it into a ”song”. I got really tired of sequencing everything in Live a couple of years ago, felt like doing assembly line stuff. Also really not into plugin instruments, theres just something missing, never feel like playing or programming them.

watho posted:i’m also very much not a fan of focusrite who owns novation because the windows drivers for their interfaces have caused me so much headache. i’m not the only one but i’ve heard people say they haven’t had any problems so ymmv but they seem to make poo poo with the assumption that you’re gonna use them with a mac. I’m still using a Saffire 56 from ~2009 and recently found out that it should have stopped working on windows 10 like 2 years ago. Gonna be fun when it finally does.

JamesKPolk posted:not really true for e.g. 12-24 channel desktop mixers (if you know what you're doing and can make it all the way through a manual) I’m talking about recording a bunch of synths at the same time, into DAW, for processing/editing/mixing. Instead of all the poo poo in a single stereo track, it might be fine ”if you know what you're doing” but I would assume a beginner hasnt spent a decade mixing allready.

Trig Discipline posted:Although I own everything I use completely legally nowadays, for the first 10-15 years of my recording life it was pretty much all pirated software because I simply didn't have the money to pay for any of it. Same, went legit when I could afford it. Biggest reason was to finally have a setup that actually worked. I remember rumours that Cubase had something build in that the crack would work for a while and then it strated crashing and corrupting projects, definetly seemed to be the case in sx2 era. Also gently caress trying to keep cracked plugins updated or trying to figure out which one of is loving up this time.
