Amps my Arrangement is all drums at the beginning, no synths or anything;

Do you want me to come on and shout “Feel my drums” over it?

Amps

Mad_Cyril Defo! 😆

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. 👍️

We could get him a BlipBox. It’s a fully fledged synth but also meant for kids. It’s not exactly cheap mind you!!

Mad_Cyril haha just send me a few dry takes, say whatever you want. copy some alan watts if you want to be profound. 🤣

Out today. A little moodier than the last one - and an ode to the filter sweep!

apyssjw i feel like this one would sound really good on a big system. nice track, i think we need a mix where that acid line dominates the track. 😉

ArchimedesQ

apyssjw Savage track, love it 🙂

Unbroken1

apyssjw …very nice mate, big sounds!

apyssjw

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!

303abuser

apyssjw that would be cool, make sure your record it if you get the chance. and yeah i hear you, too many ideas, not enough time. but that’s a good problem to have.

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.

Amps I think you should get straight on it and do a video just on laser sounds… I can guarantee you at least one view!

I may just fire up OBS just for you Ia, err Amps.

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.

Unbroken1 Don’t want to go crazy high-end… feel something like the Novation Peak would be perfect, but it seems a little much to spend when there are so many great options at the lower price point these days. Based on sounds/flexibility, current front-runner is the Minilogue XD- considering the module version as I have a decent 49-key midi keyboard and value my studio space. Seems crazy-good value at £450.

Any thoughts about/experience with these?

The Minilogue XD is great Damo. Definitely worth grabbing for the fact that you can upload all kinds of cool open source things into it that allow you to create new ways of modulating sounds and the like.

Honestly all of the Behringer kit is great. I can’t recommend it enough for the price. But if you want a cheap polysynth, it’s hard to go wrong with the Minilogue XD. I don’t own one myself, but I’ve played around with them pretty extensively.

This is coming from someone who has a Jupiter-8 in my studio right now, so that’s some high praise.

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

loopdokter haha that’s probably fair. i’ll take a look, thanks. 🙂

303abuser

loopdokter well that was easy. when do i get my cheque?
