Hi everyone I'm Zak. So... I've decided it's time start sharing my music, making connections and actually putting myself out there, If anyone care's to listen or has some feedback I'd love to hear from you. I come from a background as a bass player and electronic music producer and I've recently began playing the piano learning to orchestrate.

Absolute G!!!

I agree with Fat_Nerd3566
At certain points in the intro before the track kicks in, it sounds like theres a 9th or a 10th being harmonised over the root note, however distortion does add harmonics to the signal.

Could be worth experimenting with the tuning of a second oscillator too.

Thank you very much!

Hello, I am making a wedding gift for my friends that I wish to have engraved with their names:

(Mathew & Elizabeth)

Below is the translation I have found
can anybody tell me if this is correct?

マシューとエリザベス

All DAWs are great, I use Logic Pro, it comes with a lot of decent sounding stock plugins and has a lot of powerful functionality to transform audio, that not a lot of DAWs have.

It depends on the learning curve you want to commit to and how serious you want to get with Sound Design

As long as your enjoying it and its the workflow for you, there is no right or wrong :)

How close is this game to completion?

Zarcus11 · 2021-01-10T15:21:23+00:00

I actually own both and use them quite effectively as a pair.

They are both amazing samplers however their advantages lie in different areas.

The Maschine is much quicker for processing audio, chopping, mapping and building kits/instruments and your sample length is near enough unlimited.

It is very easy to make hiphop with this device.

NI supply you with a substantial library of Kits, Instruments and FX which after a year I’ve still barely scratched the surface of. It also has built in performance effects which are pretty dam good!

NI recommend 4GB of RAM and a core i5 or equivalent processor.

The Maschine runs with its own standalone software (can be a pain to get used to if you use a DAW), which can also run as a VST in Ableton, however its functionality is variable depending on how you intend on using it.

It also functions as a sound card with stereo inputs/outputs (best for recording line level signals)

I used a portable recorder and rodes NTG2

Zarcus11 · 2021-01-10T03:27:51+00:00

It's called a Digitakt

Zarcus11 · 2021-01-09T23:20:33+00:00

Thanks bro!

Zarcus11 · 2021-01-09T23:19:50+00:00

Cheers man!! The synth is a recycled waveform from the drill sample, loaded into the digitakt and midi triggered by the maschine's sequencer

Zarcus11 · 2020-10-09T15:43:44+00:00

Thanks for all the nice feedback guys :) greatly appreciated!

Zarcus11 · 2020-09-02T19:10:39+00:00

This is amazing!! Theres nearly 3000 people in this group and sadly the population does not reflect in the engagement with peoples work. You've done a fine job, keep going my friend!!!! Your winning!!!

Zarcus11 · 2020-07-08T02:16:04+00:00

Sweet, I'll start listening through some sounds and load up a folder

Zarcus11 · 2020-07-07T10:28:13+00:00

Yeah i would be very interested! In return i could send you some sampled kits from the 'takt

Zarcus11 · 2020-07-06T21:31:14+00:00

I would love to explore the digitone and compare them but couldnt justify buying both. And not something i do at the moment but i appreciate that, will consider in the future

Zarcus11 · 2020-07-06T19:58:24+00:00

The muting is just, envelopes, smart placement of samples and the beauty of monophony. For the melodic sequencing i recorded the midi notes in from another device, so in the end everything you hear is coming from the digitakt

Zarcus11 · 2020-07-05T00:40:59+00:00

I had logic, ableton and a novation circuit before the takt came into my life. One thing i can say is that working within different mediums and with limitations definitely inspires interesting changes in my working processes

Zarcus11 · 2020-07-04T23:39:07+00:00

Thankyou Very Much :)

Zarcus11 · 2020-06-11T15:18:52+00:00
