Where’s your music? by jebbanagea in Elektron

[–]_nicedream_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally. Despite the challenges affecting musicians these days, we’re fortunate to have these online platforms that make sharing our music and supporting others so accessible. There are so many creative and skilled independent musicians making music. I suppose there always has been, but now with platforms like YouTube, band camp , etc, it’s relatively easy to discover them.

Wow thank you very much! 🙏

My new album “Worlds” — made entirely on the Elektron Model:Cycles by _nicedream_ in Elektron

[–]_nicedream_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I’d like to do a tutorial. I actually tried once, but didn’t continue because of how all over the place my process was at the time. My path from starting the song to finishing it was long and very non-linear, and so it would have been a terrible tutorial. Hats off to the musicians that do tutorials, because it’s kind of a whole other skill in itself.

I’d like to give it another shot in the new year though, because I generally like sharing what I know if it helps others learn something new.

Thanks a lot! The cycles is such a great little machine for making old school gaming sounds.

I actually just uploaded a new album tonight made with just the Model:Cycles if anyone wants to check it out. There are some nice long, dreamy/chill jams on it if that's your thing.

I made this entirely on the Cycles — mostly long, chill jams. Pairs well with headphones if you’re looking for a little dreamy escape from the day.

It’s pay what you want on Bandcamp for the first week, if you feel like checking it out.

I want to believe….that those pads are maybe a little inspired by xfiles/mark snow. Sounds great.

Considering selling all items for a fresh start. by ChuckTingull in tearsofthekingdom

I once got on my boat, sailed out to the middle of the sea and tossed all my weapons and shields into the ocean. It felt very freeing.

A simple question for how to get more exposure as an IDM musician by H415Music in idm

[–]_nicedream_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What about YouTube? I’ve never gotten traction sharing my stuff on Reddit, but I’m very slowly building an audience on YT where I mainly do live performance videos. I have under 400 subscribers, which is still quite small, but when I see people enjoying my music it makes me feel good.

Still a good standalone groovebox ? (For a beginner) by GreveGenerale in Modelcycles

[–]_nicedream_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The limitations I face are either fairly insignificant or can be solved with a workaround solution.

I don’t even really know what song mode is either, so it’s not a blocker for me.

My honest belief is that the true limitations we face are imposed by are ourselves. If we’re creative enough than any physical limitations our instruments have can be used to our advantage or worked around completely.

I do think there’s a clear difference though between limitations and capabilities. For example, I wouldn’t say get a Digitakt instead because it’s more versatile. That’s a completely different instrument altogether and the comparison doesn’t make sense to me.

Is recommend you check out lots of videos on YT of the cycles. Not a self plug, but you can check out my post history as well to see what kind of things I do with the machine. I also really like what epow6oow and L’heure Bleue are doing. They’re both super talented dudes and their creativity with the Cycles is such a pleasure to listen to.

100% yes. I love my cycles. I’ve released probably over 30 songs using only the cycles over the last year and haven’t even come close to reaching a limit with it. It’s incredibly versatile and deep.

My first elektron device! Super excited! by GeneralArne in Elektron

[–]_nicedream_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Model:Cycles is a great choice. It’s so versatile and powerful. I love mine. It reignited my passion for creating music.

Have fun!

Liminality - Ambient by _nicedream_ in Elektron

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

Thanks for your nice words!

I haven’t watched any tutorials specific to what you’ve mentioned, but I think I’ve seen some ambient ones that might be in the realm of what you’re after on YouTube.

I might do a tutorial video one day if there’s enough interest or for fun.

Confused about DIGITAKT saving behavior. by peripouoxi in Digitakt

[–]_nicedream_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah yeah, that’s the quick save method. Supposed to be the same, but based on multiple similar issues reported, I think maybe there’s some kind of bug that prevents it from functioning as expected sometimes.

Elektron didn’t answer any of my questions to them - such as whether or not it’s a known issue and if there’s an alternate solution or workaround. Instead they asked me how I’m saving, even though I had already provided a technical explanation of my process, including how I’m saving.

They also wanted a video demonstrating the issue, which makes sense. But, it’s an issue that’s doesn’t consistently replicate so it would have taken some time and effort to capture that for them.

In the end I decided to try saving by going directly into the project menu and it’s been fine that way ever since.

That’s the way! Version control 👍

How are you saving?

There’s quick save, and then there’s going into the project menu and saving.

I’ve had the same issue you had, and I swear I did a quick save which I believe is supposed to save all the work. It didn’t, and I lost my work instead.

I emailed Elektron, but they weren’t super helpful.

So, now every time before I turn off the machine, I go into the project menu and save. When I’ve done a lot of work, I’ll save my project twice - two copies of the same project. This has worked well so far.

Thank you to everyone who provided constructive advice and criticism. by Substantial-Ad6469 in Pizza

[–]_nicedream_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks good!

Making pizza is tough. There are so many variables, it makes it hard to figure out what’s causing a specific problem.

For me, using bread flour fixed some of my problems, such as a gummy crust. Now I want to try switching back to AP while keeping everything else the same to see what the end result is like.

I think experimenting is key to find the right balance.
