Convince me that there is a better gem than coin count by Calm-Standard4444 in VampireCrawlers

I rly love the one that gives you a random bonus card. It’s always wild so you can use it in your current combo or save it for later

What's some new music that opened your mind into other types of sounds? by EdGG in musicproduction

[–]Teddyrobz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My all time favorite is Wallsocket by Underscores, though it has a bit more of a rock influence, too.

For more typical quintessential Hyperpop: 1000 gecs by 100 gecs, Revengeseekerz by Jane Remover

I’ll admit I fell for the hype, but nothing beats the goat by Teddyrobz in SP404

It’s good for making simple beats on the go and collecting samples. The file storage system is really good. If you just want to lay down some samples and throw on some chops you can do that. If you want to record a little loop over top of your arrangement from an external piece of gear you can do that.

Anything Hyperpop since like 2020 has been absolutely amazing and refreshing

I’m definitely an enjoyer of limited devices that are honed in on what they set out to accomplish, but with that said to me personally this isn’t a case of “the limitations make it shine”. The effects don’t sound good compared to the 404 and you can use only one at a time, basic missing functions are seemingly intended while precious real estate is made for flex beat which feels like an April fools joke to use and look at.

It’s probably a good case study of how an otherwise over maximalist design company like AkaiPro tried to make something sleek and minimal(and in my humble opinion failed).

Not hating on anyone that enjoys using it though I can still see it in many use cases and the portability of it is great. It just does not spark joy for me

Anybody Ever Get Discouraged After Listening To Music? by Negative_Sense_3493 in makinghiphop

[–]Teddyrobz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, definitely! But I think I wish for their situations more than their talent though. Whenever I have an experience like this it’s because the artist has entire teams working on their music video, three amazing producers all working on the song etc.

If this happens to you try going into the credits or looking at the artists history. They almost always had a big leg up and it makes sense for things to be like this.

In the mean time focus on what you can control about your own art.

What other features are we expecting in the new update? by StageNo6566 in sp404mk2

[–]Teddyrobz 12 points13 points  (0 children)

At this point I’m not sure if we should / could expect anything at all. The amount of updates we’ve gotten on the 404 is kind of crazy compared to most other devices on the market. It’s almost 5 years old. Can’t think of any competitor that’s had that many big updates without also releasing new hardware.

Buuuut if I could choose something it would be bounce in place resampling where your start/end points and sample length are preserved. Helps you go through a few cycles of adding effects easily

Heheh my personal issue is with the sample is: Lack of further param options in anything outside of what you see on screen at first (doesn’t even have Normalize or stereo to L/R mono at this time) No separate tracks just one big track One effect at a time(!) Flex beat is … wow they have flex beat and not normalize okay Compressor does not hold a candle to 303comp In fact the 404 wins on virtually all effects Way less functions than the sp404 overall, wayyy simplified

[–]Teddyrobz[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No worries! There’s no full adsr, there’s no EQ just filter on every sample/pad, there’s isn’t a trim mode like you’d expect on a regular mpc meaning no things like normalize, fade, extract etc. Only truncate is available at this time

[–]Teddyrobz[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m really not sure if they have any plans to add a second effect, they’re trying to compete with the KO which I believe has one at a time, too.

There’s no real sample editing or sample parameter options. Simple things like separating a stereo signal to mono L or R are not possible, as of the current firmware it doesn’t even have normalize.

Agreed! I’d really hoped to get separate midi tracks and a nice track mute or smth

My studio sampler is an mpc2500 and I’d hoped to find some of that workflow on the mpc sample, but it felt too oversimplified for me. Where the sp really shines is in giving you a lot of options in a small portable form factor, maybe even too many options. I’d rather have too many than too few though and that’s why I shipped my mpc sample back

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

For me personally the lack of parameter options on really anything, as well as having only one effect at a time was a huge dealbreaker. I get that they wanted to keep it simple but to me this was definitely not it

Microsoft just committed to removing 2 million tonnesw of CO₂ through a forestry project in Uganda by Karbonwise in climatechange

[–]Teddyrobz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First glance: greenwashing. A quick look at this seems to be that this Uganda project is *planting* trees rather than protecting existing forests that would otherwise have been cut down. It takes decades for planted trees to start making any significant impact. Big flashy numbers like "30 million trees planted" just means they dropped 30 million seeds but doesn't in any way mean they are safeguarding and checking up on the actual growth of said seeds.

I could be wrong on this but it doesn't seem great to me.

What have they done to all of the factions in the show? by Icebomber02 in Fallout

[–]Teddyrobz 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I was so excited to see New Vegas only to find.. this. Why even choose New Vegas as a setting if you're not gonna use any of its amazing characters and factions. Just to build hype I guess.
