303abuser Fuck yes!

Amps you should prob get yourself one of these Amps, best not to try and run before you can walk:

hugopal Not far off what I’m rocking to be fair. ️

Still working on. These Vox gigs are harder than I thought. Should be sorted over the weeekend

You know what, i thought the same about your last one. Could imagine that sound at Fabric certainly.

Would love to rinse the sounds on a big system. You could pre- covid / now tier 3 pay to practice at The Cause in Tottenham. That’s on the list for next year.

And yeah - love that acid line and the bouncy dry line that accompanies it. Can defo hear another mix - maybe in few years time when I’ve worked through the thousands of other ideas!

Henry Sensing your rage Loopy. Ableton has been really solid for me though. When I have had issues it has been related to 3rd party instruments and plug ins. Support I find really slow. However nowhere near as bad as N.I. who basically tell you to post it on the user forum.

I think a turtle operates quicker than Abelton’s ‘Support’. I’ve had multiple tickets with other companies like iZotope, Eventide, Modal, etc. that are all in the same realm and they get back to me in 1-2 days. Ableton Support took a month from my initial inquiry and usually takes a week to reply. Just flat out unprofessional and abysmal for the price that they charge for their product.

303abuser in reference to the how evil is spotify discussion … in 2020 i spent hundreds of hours making music, 208 total hours of my tracks streamed on spotify, and earnings coming out to $6.

Are you a member of SOCAN yet? If not, register. It’s free money.

hugopal just my opinion, but whenever I’ve heard the Minilogue I’ve thought it sounded very thin, despite being analogue.

The original Minilogue isn’t fat whatsoever. The XD changes all of that however. Somehow the digital component in it really makes it thump and it sounds infinitely better.

I hated the sound of the original Minilogue. Let alone for the fact that filter audibly steps and aliases - which is a big no-no at the best of times, let alone in an analogue synth.

303abuser hadn’t even considered it. happen to have a link for the process?

First, allow me to call you a numpty. You fucking numpty!

303abuser menu diving can be an issue, there’s a bit of it with the a4. the elektron learning curve is as much hype as anything else, it’s really not that bad, but that’s your call. if you want one function per knob, it probably isn’t for you.

You’re recommending Elektron gear to a guy who hasn’t touched a hardware synth since the JP-8000?! Bwahahaha. You’re barking mad. Elektron kit is all about key combinations and memorizing them. You either love it or hate it. There’s no in between. Plus it’s bloody expensive.

I wouldn’t say it’s really at the level to which Damo should be looking to get back into things. Not that I think Damo is stupid, but it’s got a huge learning curve associated with it and is largely meant for DAWless application - even if you use one.

If you want poly Damo, the XD is a good look for the price. Otherwise the only real competitor is probably the Deepmind. Beyond that for a poly and you’re looking at spending north of $1,500 CAD (not sure of the conversion these days to the UKP) - at which point the competition heats up a great deal and comes down to the ‘sound’ of the synth you want versus what it does on the panel.

Amps Re production in general: absolute kick in the nuts when you don’t really know what you are doing and you know the only remedy is to spend more time poking yourself in the eye.

Hire me. Seriously. I’m happy to show you the ropes via Zoom/Skype/etc. I won’t charge you a tonne of cash and you’ll be able to make the latest Drum Code banger before you can speak Swedish.
