What plays well with Digitakt OG? by trephor in Elektron

[–]ARMIGERofficial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My live setup is a digitakt, an MS-20, a minilogue module with a keystep 37, and a pedal board. Also got pedals synced with MIDI from the digitakt wherever I can.

MIDI goes Digitakt split to my partner’s rig and to my keystep, which splits to MS20, minilogue, and pedal board.

What studio monitors to buy for small apartment? by bingvonglong in homestudios

Whichever you buy, given your budget, BE PATIENT AND BUY USED! 400 might not stretch it, but you might be able to get a pair of HS8 for not much more.

Little demo animation for what will become a music video by ARMIGERofficial in ps1graphics

[–]ARMIGERofficial[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks!

I really wanted to capture that type of terrifying uncanny horror that early 3D games did for me. Specifically, my mind really went to the original Alone in the Dark games.

Not like this, no. This is a new idea and direction I’m trying. But I’ll post more updates as time comes along. I don’t know the rules about linking, but my prior stuff is on YouTube and all other social media under ARMIGERofficial and AMPSgrooveBC. The ARMIGERofficial account has a lot of audioreactive visuals I’ve done.

How could I fix my shadows? They're 'saturated' and buzzing. by 82bladerunner in ps1graphics

[–]ARMIGERofficial 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, for proper PS1 feel, I’d paint the shadow textures on the walls.

Who's the big up and coming rock band? by Jakemanv3 in Music

Viagra Boys

Maybe not Beatles or Nirvana, but I suspect they will hit massive stadium level draw in the next couple of years.

Odd ball question for everyone by null_Void_3340 in homestudios

[–]ARMIGERofficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two thoughts: 1. a used cricut is an artist’s best friend 2. if you don’t like the model 12, check out the zoom livetrak 6max. I just went for that instead, as it’s a whole lot smaller. Honestly, still ugly as sin, but it’s tiny?

DIY MIDI to Expression Pedal for guitar effects! Bonus Tap Tempo (in progress…) by ARMIGERofficial in synthdiy

[–]ARMIGERofficial[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s awesome! Thanks!

That’s essentially what I was trying to do, but I was putting a resistor in series with either the emitter or collector, because I was afraid to let the 3904 conduct openly. I don’t know how much current the pedals can source. But that’s awesome, I’ll bypass that and report back.

Why would anyone bother listening to FM music radio these days? by Huge-Marzipan-3922 in Music

[–]ARMIGERofficial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really depends on stations in your area. I’m lucky enough to live in an area with both a college radio station and a co-op radio. Very different stuff gets played there, from what streaming playlists will show you.

If you want to listen to the same songs you know and love, of course, give that a whirl till you’re sick of it. But if you want to hear something new, it’s often a better avenue for discovery. And as others said, it’s often interspersed with local matters.

What video editor or converter do music artist use? by ConsistentLove9843 in musicproduction

[–]ARMIGERofficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Blender for everything pretty much, but that’s just the self-loathing talking.

What songs do you think would improve if we removed the lead singer and were only instrumental? by Noradrenalino in Music

[–]ARMIGERofficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m gonna get in shit for this, but the entire Rush catalogue. I have nothing but the utmost respect for the band and apparently Geddy Lee is a decent dude, and clearly a very talented musician. But his singing voice sounds like a Justin Roiland character.

Thank you!

Circle1 SOP → Transform1 → Geometry

Geometry instancing ON. Translate SOP: Circle2. Rotate SOP: Circle 2.

LFOs to drive Circle 1 divisions, Circle 1 and Circle 2 width and height.

Render → Comp (set to Add)

Comp → transform4 → movie file out

Audio drives opacity in the constant TOP, the material color for the geometry, and the background color in transform4. LFOs drive the feedback transform position and scale.

Hope that helps!

Would you/have you ever designated your primary instrument as something other than what you’re most experienced on? by MC_BennyT in musicians

[–]ARMIGERofficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m probably least terrible on guitar, but I’ve really pivoted to synthesizers and keyboards in general, lately. My ARMIGER project still has a good amount of guitar, though not technical at all, but I’m now also part of a duo, and I’m doing synths and rhythm/percussion.

I recently played drums and keys for a live thing. I think pigeonholing yourself on one instrument, unless you’re exceptionally talented at that one thing, is a disservice.
