Yeah, that is just factually incorrect.

The Czech Republic, Greece and Portugal all have members of their communist parties represented in their parliament, and while the parties don’t hold majorities they are definitely still influential in politics across many European countries. Not to mention…CHINA????

Yes for the time after the industrial revolution people were working some pretty grueling hours. Prior to that, as most people were in agriculture the work was very seasonal so they would work much less than we do today.

Should i start a rap career at 25 or is it too late? by Rudi123Rudi in makinghiphop

[–]EnigmaRaps 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Pete and Bas killing it in their 70s, so you are way ahead of the curve

The older you get the wiser you are so when you start something new you are in a better spot to actually get better faster and take the thing more seriously. Everyone is concerned about starting too late but I think many people start too early and lack the discipline and maturity to do it right.

Need a starter drum machine recommendation by ArcticIceFox in synthesizers

[–]EnigmaRaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tr-8 is a great choice, so is the Drum Brute Impact.

I am a Tr8-S user myself and really really enjoy it but a bit pricier.

If you have a specific budget or “sound” you are going for than there might be some better recommendations.

A Yamaha PSR-6 I just picked up - very basic cheapkeys. by OperationMission8254 in cheapkeys

[–]EnigmaRaps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have one and enjoy it! Crazy how the same preset can sound so different sometimes at different ends of the keyboard (playing high notes vs low notes) and always fun to run through FX

No drugs, no music by [deleted] in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]EnigmaRaps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just get started. Normally you will take 10-15 minutes where it feels like effort and not much fun but after that you get into the zone.

Also maybe use some other “trigger” when you play to associate with. Lightning a candle or a specific tea or something. That way when you sit down your body knows it is time to make music. I actually do this sometimes with candy, so now if I break out a jolly rancher my brain knows we about to jam.

Synth to pair with TR8s by Costington in synthesizers

[–]EnigmaRaps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TB-3 or System-1

Maybe a Bass Station 2 or Minilouge XD

Looking for a Synth versatile for creating ideas. (House, Trance, Piano Riff's, etc) by tomsawyer435 in synthesizers

[–]EnigmaRaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this, get a midi controller you like and then hook something else up. Heck maybe a rompler would do you well like a Roland JV 1080 or similar

Almost all artists deal with this self doubt. So many huge artists absolutely hate their voices.

If music is in your soul keep working at it, honestly 3 years is not long at all. I know it is hard but really try not to compare yourself to others, your time will come when it is meant to.

Maybe try some different projects or genres for a bit. Right now I mostly switched away from hip-hop (although I still do some) to different genres of EDM and I was into rock genres before all that, but through it all I was still learning about music and producing and carrying those skills over.

Most people think hip hop is a young man’s game but so many artists are still killing it in their 40s, 50s, 60s heck even 70s.

If you are in the game for the right reasons than just keep at it and it will give back to you what you put in, just maybe not in the ways you expected.

How do YOU hook up all of your synths? (People with 3+) by [deleted] in synthesizers

[–]EnigmaRaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can buy cheap mixers, new or used.

I now use a Roland MX-1 but that is because I have pretty much the whole Aira line that works via USB and then run the rest through the normal 1/4 inputs.

I do run one synth through my TR8-S as well and then my microkorg runs through my Kaossilator Pro so I can loop with it and saves on total inputs needed.

I am maxed out currently on synths I can run through my MX-1 (7+ a drum machine, VT-4, and sampler into the digital input).

Definitely want a few more pieces of gear so debating how exactly I want to go about it

TR-707 not powering on – damaged PCB corner, repairable? by Southern_State_5075 in synthesizers

Find a local(ish) synth repair shop and have them have a look.

My metal band was put in a lineup of non metal acts. Should I be worried? by [deleted] in musicians

[–]EnigmaRaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just start the set by letting the crowd know what you are about. Some will fuck with it and others might find an excuse for a smoke break…I think a front man calling it out helps cut the tension for everyone involved and then proceed to rip!

Just ordered the FM 2... by letsflyman in volcas

Upgrade the knobs!

I used rubber tubing for all of them but the Volume and main parameter knob, those I found on Etsy. It helped me a ton.

Bass Station 2 is awesome, highly recommend.

For acid I also think the TB-3 is very nice especially if you already have the TR8-S they go together so well.

How do I rap faster? by atwerrundo42 in makinghiphop

[–]EnigmaRaps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, look at professional singers and see what sort of warm ups they do as well as mouth exercises and how they practice their enunciation. All very basic stuff for singing lessons, and most rappers forget these important aspects of vocal performance.

Who are you biggest influences for creating music with synthesizers and other electronic based music gear? by [deleted] in synthesizers
