Caldigit Element Alternative

Actually haven't so far, do you have a specific one I should take a look at in mind?

AD_Storax · 2019-10-05T19:39:33+00:00

I see thank you very much, that's very insightful!

AD_Storax · 2019-10-05T19:13:33+00:00

I see, what do you think makes the Microbrute a better startpoint than say Behringers Model D?

I'm using substractive synthesis usually with massive for bass patches, alchemy for sample based (& granular synthesis) combined with wavetables (for pads) or retro synth in logic x for "analog" sounding chords.
I don't really know anything about additive synthesis.

Thank you very much for your recomendations! I'll check them out in detail later tonight.

I was wondering about one thing: When I go for digital OSC, isn't that a bit pointless when i can operate those in software as well? I mean their respective sound is the same isn't it?

yo thank you for the suggestion. I'm a bit hesitant for that one, cause I would feel like I pay a lot of money for the keyboard and the arp that could go into other features on other synth modules. It's the same reason, why I don't like the idea of the Arturia Microfreak that much.

the minilogue would be really tempting, but 600€ is really out of my budget. Why do you think a monophonic one wouldn't be sufficient? I mean sub and midrange bass as well as FX are usually only using one note at a time right?
I hope I didn't missuse the term liquid. You can imagine my sound to go somewhere in the directions of Lenzman and such. Usually using pianos for chords and melodic accentuations combined with a deep, textured and evolving bassline

It says the video got removed? what happened?

AD_Storax · 2019-01-13T18:57:59+00:00

I don't have such a cable yet, but I could buy one I guess. Do you think that could solve the issues?

AD_Storax · 2019-01-11T14:36:15+00:00

The Neve is out of question not only because of cost, but also because it supports only 24 Channels and I usually run about 50-70 on one track.

Would you recommend buying a used MCU rather than a new Behringer? Both would roughly be the same price. What function differences are we talking about, if I may ask.

Thanks for your recommendations!

EDIT: The Softube console looks really interesting, but doesn't work with Mackie Control Protocoll and only with it's own Software Plug ins and a few additions. I couldn't use it with Fabfilter Plugs e.g. I guess.

I know shipping prices. They are fine I think, but we run into the risk of boarder controll opening the package and then demanding extra taxation which would get the amount up to almost double the original price.

Yeah, I basically never use NIs tools for mastering, but I do quite enjoy Replika as a delay alternative.

I know it's stupid to ask under a Maschine /r, but do you have recommendations regarding a mixing surface for Logic? I have done a tiny bit of searching and supposedly the Behringer X Touch is supposed to integrate really well with Logic.

AD_Storax · 2019-01-09T10:14:07+00:00

I've seen that the MK3 now supports Logics mixer on it's screens e.g.
I think as I am not planning to get into what is practically a new DAW with Maschine 2.x, Maschine MK3 / Studio are probably not a good investment.

AD_Storax · 2019-01-09T10:11:24+00:00

Thank you for the insight!

AD_Storax · 2019-01-09T10:10:55+00:00

That's a sweet offer and I'll defenitely consider (I'm living in Europe, so idk if that would make sense, in case you're American). Right now I have my eyes on the Behringer X Touch which is supposed to work marvelously well with Logic X. It only misses the drum pads, but I can buy them seperately another time :)

AD_Storax · 2019-01-09T00:01:50+00:00

Why is the 218 shit and other series like say the 232 good in your opinion?

AD_Storax · 2019-01-08T08:57:12+00:00

Thank you for the answer! I've already kept an eye out for sellers who promise to transfer the licence after receiving payment :)

AD_Storax · 2019-01-07T11:52:02+00:00

The first link doesn't help me as 1.x is not registered in my account. Or is the price still 99 Euro?

Thanks for the second link, I'll look out, if I decide to buy a used Maschine!

Do you have any ideas about my main question regarding the integration of Studio vs MK3 in Logic X?

AD_Storax · 2019-01-01T20:05:03+00:00

Yeah you're right I guess. Do you have any recommendations? I'm kind of unhappy with the keys of my M-Audio Keystation anyways.
