Just picked up a used (‘as new’) Digitone up on eBay for just over £300, which is almost 1/3rd the price a DN II. So now have a golden trinity of Elektron boxes and another rabbit hole and no doubt yet more dozens of unfinished tracks are on the way.
I was really tempted by the A4, but that would require a bigger desk and in the end having the 3 near identical boxes sitting side by side will at least look aesthetically pleasing, if nothing else.

Henry yet more dozens of unfinished tracks

A way of life

Henry That’s a good price, I’m sure you’ll like it. I hear you with the aesthetics, I have a tiered stand for the ST/DT and it makes the workflow between them really easy as everything is right there.

Not much tempting me in plugin/software land this time around during the Black Friday deals. I did get Snapback by Cableguys (love Shaperbox too). Other than that; I got all bases covered and then some.

Past a certain point it jus becomes collecting.. same as the growing folder of unfinished projects 😂

…this.

Can’t remember who said it, but I always recall a quote about either collecting VST’s or making music, and am always aware of having more than I use for this reason. Max for Live devices cover so many eventualities now too.

(That said, quite fancy Arturia Acid V!)

Morty-C-137 I’m in the same boat too. I was hoping to see unfiltered audio’s battalion to go on sale, but even that isn’t a big deal.

How do you like snapback? I like the way it sounds, just not sure it makes that much difference once you’ve got a full mix going.

Morty-C-137

303abuser Snapback is really great! It would tak me a ton of time to achieve the same effect by adding samples in the daw and lining them up. It’s great to try on anything; drums, plucks, guitar etc. Gives some other character to the sound that is not possible at the sound source. Plus the ability to put a reversed sample IN FRONT of say a snare hit gives it that nice extra impact feel.

303abuser

Morty-C-137 Maybe I’ll have to try it out then, I do appreciate a good workflow plugin.

Henry

Morty-C-137 After saying that I don’t need another plugin in my life. It appears that I need another plugin.

Snapback is the type of really specific use case plugin which interests me.

Another one is Rando

Which is the type of thing I can see being a native Ableton tool in the future (if there’s not something like it already).

Morty-C-137

Henry 😂 yeah I was the same before and after the demo. Damn those cableguys!

Dawesome makes some good synths and this one is free.

Anyone else having a go at the Quivver remix comp for Label Radar?

303abuser

erik link?

erik

303abuser Yeah, sorry, should have dropped that

303abuser

erik Thanks. That track isn’t doing much for me and is way off my usual sound, but I kind of like the vocal. Might take a shot at it just to grab the stems, if nothing else.

You putting something together?

erik

303abuser i didn’t even bother listening to the original, i just downloaded the parts and did it…

Yeah mine’s done now

303abuser

erik I honestly just skimmed it, it’s not like it really matters. We should share them here if a few of us finish something. I’d be interested to see the different takes on the same source material.

erik

303abuser Great idea mate, I’m up for that, let me know if you get round to doing/finishing it

303abuser

erik Will do. Winter has set in here, so I’ve got more time. I’ve got two albums that need 2-3 tracks each to be finished up, trying to put in a couple of hours a day into music now.
