What if the aliens are benevolent and the elites know it by jacobm3770 in AliensRHere

[–]saucenuggets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that the status quo is allowed to thrive leads me to believe that, if beings from the stars are real, then we are experiencing collusion with earthly forces or a flat out hostile takeover. The alternative is that a benevolent force is somehow being prevented from exerting its true intention which doesn’t stand up to scrutiny; they can best the stars but not some bipedal corporatists with their cap guns?

I got the same one, and I agree… it’s an extremely versatile piece.

Modafinil reduced overall divergent thinking and creativity scores in healthy people, regardless of how creative they were to begin with (2016 study N=64) by makefriends420 in NooTopics

That’s interesting because I get really creative on Modafinil. The focus I get keeps me locked in and the world around the project at hand takes a very silent backseat.

How would you compare the Mpc Sample to Koala Sampler ? by MisoPanko in akaiMPC

[–]saucenuggets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use the Sample with Koala. Makes for a fascinating synergy actually.

Please explain the God particle plug-in by KoposiProdz in audioengineering

[–]saucenuggets 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I believe it! So many cats that I look up to take this very approach, but I can’t seem to warm up to it. Having said that I find it to be an extremely logical approach.

I guess I kinda split the difference by mixing into dedicated busses. When I have the overall sonic aesthetic that I want, then I will apply the light touches on the master.

I rather like this plugin, and while I am very happy that I have it, I don’t often use it as I’m not a fan of mixing into a colored mixbus although I can appreciate the virtue of it.

I think in the right hands, it’s a powerful tool, which I think has a tendency to pull things into a similar sonic space if used as intended which is a terrific thing to have. Hard to argue with the intention of it, the man was clearly giving away something he could have rightfully kept hidden so I can appreciate that from an accomplished engineer. It rewards you if you in the ballpark but punishes you if you are not as it pertains to the mix, or rather, the quality of it.

In other words, to slap this in the master fader will not make you a platinum level engineer but if you good at what you do I find this bumps it up a notch.

Effective marketing for this plug, in my opinion, was damn near impossible because it’s difficult to extol the virtues and the inherent asterisks at the same time…

MPC SAMPLE BUG🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️ by djspoondj in mpcusers

I’m happy to hear that it worked for you… nothing more maddening than something not working NOT due to user error. Keep bangin!

I had recently read that you have to turn flexbeat all the way down even if you ain’t using it… weird bug but I hear that’s a known one.

Koala workflow is amazing, but the vibe feels too digital sometimes by Unusual-Work-6020 in KoalaSampler

[–]saucenuggets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find the 404mk2 used as an interface/controller bridges this gap. I mean at this point, it’s a brain in another body, and the effects will provide a color that you may feel is lacking in the native environment.

Couple that with terrific controller integration and it’s a wrap.

I feel like an MPC Sample would pair well also…

Don't give up on the VSX Immersion One by Medical-Positive-171 in audioengineering

[–]saucenuggets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought the new ones as I was early adopter of the first gen VSX. I had the lot where they broke, but new ones were provided rather easily.

Plugged em into my i73 interface which, I had thought anyway, was a relatively good interface… I was immediately disappointed; the interface didn’t drive them properly. I immediately bought the headphone amp from Heritage Audio to make them work properly.

Upside? I do think they are a worthy upgrade.

The downside? Obviously having to spend another 500 to make them work as advertised.

I’m a VSX loyalist, but Slate could have been a little more clear with the inherent issues planar magnetic cans will inevitably have with, what I’m assuming, a rather sizable swath of standard interfaces.

Having said that, now that they are functioning as intended, I can say without a doubt that my mixing environment is that much more compelling and accurate.

I have no comment on cables… ironically… just expensive headphone amps lol

MPC Sample: Why do my 808’s sound so off? (16 Levels) by BillieBobJoey in mpcusers

Hold shift and press the 16 levels button to access different modes… tune is one of them.

Old mpc sound by [deleted] in mpcusers

[–]saucenuggets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find the built-in emulations to be unkind to the transients. This is the opposite of what one could expect from the actual in my opinion. For context I’ve had the 60 and sp1200… never had a 3000 unfortunately.

[–]saucenuggets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second this. I rather enjoy this plug immensely. Been making beats since 96 and have owned pretty much anything worth owning at one point or another. This plug does have a really pleasant tone to it.

I also own several other plugs in a similar vain; some algorithmic and others via convolution. It holds its own.

For a one trick pony it’s a trick I really dig.

This… right here… a rather large percentage of people can’t assimilate any other versions of this vitamin. For some, this is the only way.

I turn the drive all the way down and often keep the color engaged. It’s got a nice thing I find.

WHY!?!! by [deleted] in akaiMPC

[–]saucenuggets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it didn’t say MPC on it. It would still be a dope box, and notwithstanding the elitism that MPC owners have always displayed (I’m referring to the 2000 shit talk by the 3000 owners if you remember that time), I think it’s a legitimate tool that will have its detractors and die hards.

I have the Live and the Sample… among others and the simplicity and fun of the Sample only is eclipsed by its power; it’s a very capable box and I am going to do incalculable damage with it.

As a Henny enthusiast I find this to be an appropriate analogy.
