i should actually buy a copy of renoise

[ASK] me about OS/2 Warp
yeah trackers rule and i do all my 'PRODUCED" stuff strictly in renoise now.

i used a copy of cubase 3.55 for loving years, then bounced around through various crap, settled on renoise

only thing that sucks is it has *poo poo* midi sync so I can't use it as drums backing for my Ableton stuff, which is all driven off my bass

i cant help but think that the very cheapest microcontroller with a 16 bit DAC either in it or hanging off the side would be an excellent midi to $WEIRDOLDCONTROLSYSTEM interface

i soldered together a board with an LM386 audio amp on it and tested it with my function generator last night

it wasn't for music (i wanted to hook it up to another experiment to listen to a signal) but it made me think it would be fun to make music with that

learn the 555 and it will keep you busy for months, no poo poo

and the ability to use it, well, as a sampler.

and it was 37 dollars plus shipping because nobody thinks samplers can do anything any more

i'd be interested to see what you come up with. do you do that multiple looper/chain select thing?

I found a neat max4live plugin for looping without a pedal. it records instantly upon input and then plays back without intervention: http://maxforlive.com/library/device.php?id=1007

I use this when I want to avoid count-ins and to leave no chance of introducing silence at the start of the loop.

Nothing amazing, but ableton's looper is pretty limited and looping software seems scarce. i had a bad time with mobius looper

before i bugged out of town i did manage to finish two

all non drum tones are bass guitar

that being said, the experience of hooking up one's first real deal no bullshit pro audio interface and slamming the latency sliders all the way down and it still works is p amazing

when i had that echo layla it would do like 0.8 mS latency with no skipping at 44k

the overhead and setup and system tie-in is the real bitch.

anybody can run ableton or a shitload of this and that. it takes real planning, testing, and organization to get your macros and midi Y's and virtual audio cables and this and that set up.
and its an even bigger challenge to make that setup reproducible and stable

live shows are murphy's law land. everything always breaks and fucks up

I'm writing a snippet/track a day, i have really bad phones/monitors right now though so its all mixed dumb. just remembering my renoise keyz

http://yourlisten.com/jonny290/thwang bad

also i have really approximately 0 interest in recording physical instruments but the rest of this stuff is so loving fascinating

Same, I had a track signed to a record label. It sold literally one copy on Beatport. I'm a pro!


and im the exact opposite, im bored of synths but give me a jazz bass and a rack of fx and i will entertain myself until end of world

the "oh i'd love to build stuff up" thing only works if you almost obsessively go at it from a modular level and save your components in libraries for building blocks later

if you try to build a good sounding synth from scratch every time you will a: get burnt out or b: end up writing "'"chiptunes"'" cause you're sick of connecting blocks and say ehh a square wave's good enough
