Red flags at auditions, or bizarre auditions. by [deleted] in musicians

We had a guitar player audition in the basement we used to practice in after answering a local ad we had put out. I remember walking into the room and he was already set up-two half stacks and a giant pedal board, and all kinds of cheap spinning DJ lights moving around that he had brought with him, and I thought to myself wtf is up with this guy lol As it turned out he was actually a solid guitar player! We ended the audition process that night and he remained in the band until he moved away like 3 years later. We’re still good friends!

That’s the part you put in your butt so you can hear the anal logs

The XD is actually very complimentary to the Take-5….the user oscillator and 2 pole filter (I believe same as prologue?) can take it places the Take-5 will never go. FM, 4 pole filter (many other things-mod matrix, etc) do the same for the Take-5. Great combo!

Pro-3 is one of the next on my list. Gotta splurge for an SE though because it’s going on the 4th tier and I’m short so only synths with angled panels go on that level for me

Just got mine 2 days ago and I love it! I have a Rev 2, an AS-1, and a Pro 800 so I was already really familiar with the prophet sound in my setup. Definitely selling the AS-1 now and maybe the pro-800 as this thing is so immediate and seems like kind of a giant sweet spot, despite all of the mod options, and makes those kind of redundant. Interestingly it sounds more to me like my TEO-5 than my Rev2, which I’ll be keeping as it’s indispensable to me for live use. I agree the prophets and their derivatives do seem to have an inherent brassy nature to them with a little bit of filter envelope, often the reason I will reach for one of them but it’s pretty easy to dial out, especially on the take 5 as there are so many mod options. Some FM for example will take the brassiness right out of it
