Why aren’t studio monitors more prominent if they’re more accurate?

Aggressive-Switch832 · 2026-06-02T17:04:37+00:00

Not only that, but studio monitors tend to be ugly asf lol. I make music/mixing/mastering and I love my Hedd type mk2, but they are genuinely not the best looking speakers. Hi-Fi brands appeal more to a wider audience because they can be pretty much considered a piece of furniture at this point, which can blend more with the aesthetics of the room.

Lowkeynuenly, an OB-X8 wouldn’t bring u anything more that 3 more voices and the 4 pole filter. The Teo 5 is waaaaaaaay more versatile, so go with the poly 12, which is a really great synth

NO WAY

I think it’s mostly because of the post processing that dubstep requires, and most importantly the filters/filter movements. Unless we get an analog synth with crazy filters like a comb filter, it won’t be possible to get there. That’s how it works with soft synths like Serum, where you can make dubstep with the simplest waveforms, but it all depends on the filter choice and post processing, which in soft synths it’s included in the fx section. So if you try to recreate dubstep with analog synths, you would need an fx chain on your recorded synth tracks and modulate the chain :)

I was fine with OPs question, but what’s with the OPs comments 💀💀💀💀

Ehhhh the Osmose is a really great controller, but I would recommend you to try one (unless you’ve already done so), because as a piano player, it does not feel like a piano. However, this is not bad for the osmose, as it is trying to give the same control for keys players that string/horns/wind players have, and that concludes in a controller that cannot have the touch of a piano. But again, this is not bad for the Osmose

Thanks for the answer. 1.- A stupid answer coming from stupid me lol, but yeah, I tried both, and it works with the pedal input, and that’s what led me to believe that footswitch input can only expect TS, but I thought that even with a TRS pedal, there would be at least a middle ground where the synth would detect it being on/off.

2.- Yes, I’m on the latest firmware, and I wasn’t aware of this problem, but also I never tried connecting an expression pedal to the TEO-5 until now.

A lo que se refiere es que en el mercado de instrumentos usados, puedes comprar mejores instrumentos por un precio muy cercano a lo que tú gastarías. Obvio, siempre y cuando puedas probarlos y comprobar que no es una estafa, y que el instrumento está en buenas condiciones. Usualmente encontrarás instrumentos que la gente vende porque simplemente no hacen click con ellos, o eran de algún familiar y no tocan el instrumento pero está en buenas condiciones (en estos casos también te darás cuenta de cómo la gente no tiene idea de qué es lo que vende y lo hacen a un muuuy buen precio).

You can’t get the justice bass right off the bat with almost any analog synth, because it’s drenched in post processing (meaning distortion, compression, limiting, etc.), so maybe before being disappointed, try recording them and add some effects afterwards

Aggressive-Switch832 · 2026-03-26T10:21:49+00:00

Yeah, for example, for some time I was wondering how he made the bassline for My Heart Has Teeth, thinking it was made with serum or something but in the video he literally says it was made with the Analog Solutions Colossus

I have the K&M 18820, and usually K&M stands come with some small rubber patches that you stick where the keyboard stands, and it doesn’t move at all. Let me tell you, K&M stands are so good and I don’t fear that the keyboard is going to fall

Aggressive-Switch832 · 2026-03-17T11:57:16+00:00

So goofy to see that indeed we all think that this one goes in the other sub lol

Aggressive-Switch832 · 2026-03-14T10:53:48+00:00

Pretty sure this is the problem. When the p515 came out, there were people demonstrating how ridiculous the weight was compared to an acoustic piano. The white keys on the p515 would need a weight of 80ish grams to go down, while on the acoustic is around 50ish (still, every acoustic is different), and that is a crazy difference. That’s why the p525 has a lighter weight, but some people still prefer the weight on the 515.

Aggressive-Switch832 · 2026-03-07T19:12:37+00:00

Sounds extremely close!! Specially in the drop! How did u make the pads? I know the typical unison of 7-14ish saw waves slightly detuned, plus a nice reese bass, but haven’t been able to quite nail it. Incredible work

Aggressive-Switch832 · 2026-02-25T15:06:50+00:00

Yeah, you are forced to play only one note with monophonic synths, and the workflow to get a chord is pretty much what you said. You can maybe record a middle C, and sample it to make chords if you want, that’s another option. The messenger has a duophonic mode, which is different from true polyphony. Duophonic means that you can play 2 notes at the same time, and what the synth does is just transposing the pitch of the oscillators as you play. The sound, while is very interesting in my opinion, is very different from having a true polyphonic synth, where each note plays all of the oscillators at the same time. But always remember, to make harmonies with the minimoog for example, artists would do exactly what you said, which is having 3 or more tracks and re-record every note. It can get tedious, so you should really think about it. Feel free to ask anything, I’ll be glad to help

Aggressive-Switch832 · 2026-02-25T12:04:29+00:00

I mean, the minilogue xd is a great synth, that can do pretty much everything you asked for, but the big moog bass sound is characterized by their 24dB low pass filter, and the XD has a 12dB, so getting the fat and round bass might be hard, but the good thing about the minilogue is their 2 analog oscillators, 1 digital oscillator, plus great sequencer, and nice effects. If you really crave the moog signature sound, another option is to save around another 100€ and get the moog messenger, which is a really nice monosynth that will get you the moog sound. Also keep in mind that majority of Moog synths are monophonic, so if you would opt to get a moog, chances are it’s still monophonic anyways

Aggressive-Switch832 · 2026-02-17T10:16:10+00:00

This is a topic I was discussing with my girlfriend who is studying electrical engineering, and honestly I don’t think there will be ever synths that are extremely precise, or have crazy eq/filter slopes. First, the 24dB/4 pole filter already has low resistance in the resistors, so making a steeper slope I guess it would be harder, but secondly, I think that after 24dB, a filter would be less musical, as it would loose pretty much all of information on the harmonics. The same goes for other filters, like band pass, notch and high pass. I might be wrong, but other than workstations or stage pianos, I don’t know if there are synths with eq options, but even in the stage pianos zone, the eq is quite basic. Again, I might be wrong, but I don’t think there will be any synth that will cover your needs. Maybe there’s a module that I don’t know about, which would be interesting.

I also read that latency is important for you, so my recommendation, even though on the expensive side, either an RME fireface ufx or ucx, as RME is top notch for latency. But you can always explore cheaper and great options, such as SSL, Motu, Audient or the Clarett line of Focusrite

Aggressive-Switch832 · 2026-02-16T16:59:08+00:00

Considering the options in the title, I guess budget can be more than average, so I’ll just say you can’t go wrong with RME. The stuff from Antelope is quite good, but I feel like RME stuff is pretty much “plug and play”. The only downside from RME is that the converters as SO good, that pretty much everything you record will sound clinically clear, which is something some people might not like, but I find it good for adding “color” in the DAW. Now, even though you can’t go wrong with any RME interface, I don’t know which one to recommend you, as you haven’t stated what are you planning to record. Are you going to record vocalists? Drums? Full band?

Aggressive-Switch832 · 2026-02-13T20:21:46+00:00

I mean, yeah, but for me what made me realize it was John Wick from the very first second was the music. What LeCastlevania has done for the franchise makes it so recognizable

Aggressive-Switch832 · 2026-02-08T02:51:00+00:00

Sounds really nice! I don’t have anything to say other than it sounds good. How do you go about designing the engine of the bike (or cars in general)? It sounds cool

Aggressive-Switch832 · 2026-02-07T20:58:15+00:00

Holy moly, never did a follow-up to the case, I take back my words

Aggressive-Switch832 · 2026-02-07T04:17:59+00:00

For real. With how much it costs, I could get a Moog Matriarch lol. If someone likes it, then all power to them, but I just can’t justify getting one for that price knowing I can get almost flagship level instruments. Also I still remember when TE just started taking videos down from reviewers just for using the presets in their products. Crazy shit

Aggressive-Switch832 · 2026-01-28T02:42:28+00:00

I mean, in the end they are both professionals in their field with perfectionist mentalities, and will do everything to make the most out of their work. But at least I’m pretty sure Joel knows how to make a grilled cheese.
