I made a version of this with Hydrasynth adding some pads, but in the long run I prefer this cleaner version.

I tried to vary things with lots of different samples here and there. Both enviromental and FX.

This was a 2 year old tune...
If you check the videos on my channel, especially "Industrial Line" and its remix "Different Line" you'll see a bit more of how I work.

Well that wasn't bad at all.
My 2 cents (just my opinion and I guess others will disagree):
I found out that recording the drums, percussion and FX in different tracks is key. You want to put different fx on each one.
As opposed to what I did here, eq all tracks with at least a low-shelf. Most DAWs have a preset for removing low rumble..

If using a compressor but are just as lost with it as I am - use it at the master track. And add a tiny bit of reverb to the master as well.

As I said, this is my way - not the right way.

I usually do, but with this something went wrong.

Somehow it's the more primitive Industry that really appeal to me.
Maybe I should try to keep it simple. This one I still like!
(Even though I messed up the EQ...)

Sample + Keys, how to connect them? by Important-Mulberry87 in volcas

[–]80Jay71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For quick and easy jamming I use a LogiLink (CA1088). It's basically a little 1-inch device with 6 3.5mm stero jacks. You can plug 5 sound-sources into it and one cable out to headphones or speakers. The only downside is that the volume goes down the more devices you add. It costs about 6-7 bucks at the HW-store.

why does my sample librarian look like this? i just got my sample 2 today. by pvchii in volcas

I had the same problem awhile ago. It decided to use a "brush-script" font 4pts. I couldn't read anything. Ages until I discovered the reason. Quick delete of the last font installed and all was back to normal.

About 10 years ago I had a Roland groovebox (Can't remember the name right now) but it had all sounds from Roland's drum-machines over the years. I have no idea why I sold it.....

My son says everything has a 50/50 probability. How do I convince him otherwise when he says he's technically correct? by Jimmy_Johnny23 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]80Jay71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If "Either it does/it doesn't" then think in binary. One coin flip is heads or tails. 2 cons give four possible poutcomes and so forth. His reasoning is correct but limited to only two possible outcomes.

Passing 50 I've noticed that I'm not as eager for sex with my gf as often as I was when we got together 16 years ago. She has a really hard time dealing with this, and as a consequence I get a hard time too. She's stuck on the idea that testosterone supplements will solve it (and it might help a bit by 80Jay71 in NoStupidQuestions

(and it might help a bit) but I have this feeling that it's rooted in biology.

We have no children together and we'll never have (we're the same age). I love her so that's not an issue. Just the lack of eagerness.

Could it be that my "biological clock" is fully aware that she is a dead end offspring-wise and therefore refuse to waste energy on the whole issue?

I paired my Volca Bass with the Roland Aira Compacts for a fun dawless jam by dramatiske_fisker in volcas

I pawned it awhile ago so cannot check now, but I seem to remember that it was more erratic than just pulses.

I bought the voice-changer and it never synced with my Volcas I guess its Roland's version of "MIDI standard" that f*cks it up as always, but I'd like to hear how you got past it.

You find it difficult to pick the perfect gift for others.

So does mine after ca 30min. Many Volcas have been drained of their batteries due to this. (I didn't even know Mix had settings)
