i completely agree with all of what Philthy said but also recording to and from a lovely cassette recorder can sound absolutely incredible

i’ve strongly considered buying an akai s1000 sampler lately but i really need an audio interface with more inputs and a proper midi interface first

imagine you’re trying to score an 80s gothic fantasy movie but all equipment you have is a cheap synthesizer and a cassette recorder. also maybe you’re also a norwegian fascist in prison for murder

AverySpecialfriend posted:Ok so does anyone have a favorite controller that comes in 61 keys what specifically are you looking for? do you want the best possible keybed? do you want deep integration with your daw or plugins? do you want lots of connectivity? what’s your budget?

AverySpecialfriend posted:Mostly just as good of a keybed as I can find on a budget and I'll probably look for it used. I've never plugged a midi keyboard into a computer before so I have no opinions on daws etc or the utility of different things that might come on a controller i’d look into the nektar panorama t6, it’s a good meat and potatoes keyboard. poo poo like the arturia keylab, or native instruments komplete kontrol keyboards are better but you’ll be overpaying for functions you don’t seem like you need.

i bought an isn’tses chernobylizer that arrived this week but i got hit hard by import tax so i can’t afford to buy a power supply for it until i get paid in like 2 weeks. the thing is absolutely gorgeous looking tho and i’m stoked to make soundscapes and layers on that thing

MockingQuantum posted:I have absolutely no need for one of those, and have no idea what I'd do with it, but I've very nearly bought one about four times in the past couple of weeks. It would probably end up just being a very weird art/conversation piece in my studio, which I suppose is at least part of the intention behind it. yeah i mostly use it for soundscapes and layers and such but it’s just insanely fun to gently caress around with

petit choux posted:What is it and where do you get it? it is a chernobylizer by isn’tes running through a purple haze by digdugdiy. both of them are on etsy but digdugdiy stuff has a tendency to sell out the same day it gets put up so that one can be a bit tricky to get a hold of. i got lucky and got paid for a commission right as he put stuff up on his store back in late december

Agreed posted:I really appreciate your input. Do you use different than the stock wavetables? And, uh, if so do you know where I could find some? I exported a bunch from Waves Codex which I got for free in a magazine promotion this year, and it has been handy to have those in Vital for sure. But I am feeling like I could use some more. i actually moved to vital from serum. i currently tend to stick with the factory wave tables but i also have some miscellaneous ones i’ve collected over the years. like the massive and virus ones

the third oscillator and filter is a big part. the way it visualizes modulation is another. i also really like the fact that you can have two different “modifiers” per oscillator. they’re both fantastic synthesizers and it’s for sure worth it to try serum for a month to see which one you prefer

how good of an emulation is the RD-6? the 606 is probably my favorite of the oldschool drum machines and it’s very underrepresented when it comes to clones and reissues

606 is twice as much as 303 therefore 2 of each is better than 3 303s

Agreed posted:I really appreciate that you took so much time to inform me. I'm trialing PhasePlant right now and really impressed with it, to the point I'm thinking I'll switch from Serum rent to own to Kilohearts sub. Still sticking with Vital, too, it's been really great to work with. i absolutely adore phase plant, it is my go-to for more out there stuff. it is more work to get going than with serum or vital for instance but you can get truly bonkers with it. something that might not be straight forward if you aren’t up to date on how digital synthesis works is that in order to get stable FM you want to modulate phase, not pitch.

i think making cheap clones of gear that you can’t get without taking out another mortgage is good. my problem with behringer clones is that they don’t really sound like what they’re supposed to be cloning. and also uli being a horrible loving person

Oldstench posted:They sound close enough that in a mix you can't tell a difference. Only cork-sniffing weirdos care about that poo poo. i mean for the most part i agree, bad word choice notwithstanding, but there’s stuff like the tr606 which is beloved because how it cuts through a mix and the behringer clone just doesn’t. does that mean i don’t think it’s worth the price? not at all! it’s a dirt cheap drum machine that sounds pretty drat good. their 303 clone as well is very good for the asking price. it’s not a painstakingly accurate recreation of a tb303 but like you said you can’t really tell in a mix. same goes for any subtractive vst tho once you understand how to recreate an acid sequence. i’m not a snob in the slightest when it comes to synths, i’m just not a fan of litigious, anti semitic ceos and marketing hype. buy what you think is worth buying and make the music you wanna make!
