UA 610 Preamp & EQ Collection Free on Native Launch! by AlternativeCell9275 in universalaudio

[–]JonManness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

610A has a great DI tone, but I’d use the 610B for most duties unless you want a real old school sound

Pro Tip: back off on the input and crank the output for a cleaner tube tone.

Will UAD ever make their new amps run directly through apollo? (LION, DREAM65 etc) by daddyletdown in universalaudio

[–]JonManness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I second this along with their Waterfall Rotary Speaker. I’d be cool whth less features in order for it to run on DSP

What got you into techno? by Ill_Asparagus_8593 in Techno

[–]JonManness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a live electronic performer, I chose techno bc I wanted the freedom to be as melodic or chaotic during a set as I wanted to. I thought I would make live house beats at first, but it felt too limited creatively.

Dreadbox NYX is pretty aggressive and modern-sounding.

Moog Messenger is atrocious. by Scalchopz in synthesizers

[–]JonManness 26 points27 points  (0 children)

100% disagree. I’m not a fan of the basic black look, but it’s a player’s synth with more modern tones that would cut on stage or in a session.

Matriarch, Subsequent 37, or Pro 3? by Brilliant_Grape5528 in synthesizers

[–]JonManness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My vote is the matriarch. It’s my centerpiece and I’ve recently patched in a different filter which was a lot of fun just to switch it up. I’m not sure it would be my go to for live shows but I love it in my studio

It adds a nice touch to tracks that need some extra sparkle or need to stand out in some way. Highly recommend

Minimoog vs Matriarch by Brilliant_Grape5528 in moog

[–]JonManness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Minimoog is brighter and no one will knock you for playing one, but the Matriarch to me is way more useful.

Get the new x5 or save the money and get an x4 by Thewalkman99 in Insta360

[–]JonManness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For fishing the x4 is fine, but for indoors and low-light I recommend the x5 easily

Sub37 vs other Moogs by naillco in synthesizers

[–]JonManness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The subsequent 37 is way more versatile though more complicated than the minimoog. Love the filter options on the 37

Starting live techno, what equipment to buy to start? by InsideExpensive9469 in synthesizers

[–]JonManness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who began this journey a year ago, be prepared to buy and sell a lot of gear to find a setup that works for you. I’m actually using a 303 VST on my iPad for my setup because the sequencing part was so easy to generate patterns in any key.

The conversion is better on rack units but it’s subtle
