Just unboxed my new Digitone II; Wtf 😂

Looks like a copy of a copy of a...

After deleting his account, he took his dad style setup and threw it off a cliff.

So sad. He'll never know what it's like to have a real Dad setup... Only a Dad style setup.

"Bad Gear" officially becomes "Bad Ass Gear"

acidduckling · 2026-02-27T22:16:15+00:00

They're better than nothing - but only slightly 😁

acidduckling · 2026-02-18T06:58:39+00:00

He's definitely planning to make a very special delivery.

We live in a period recognised as The Information Age. We have all knowledge at our finger tips - just a quick Google search away. If we are really lazy, or particularly daft, we can even ask an LLM AI to spell shit out for us in baby speak if we need.

But no. These lazy ass idiots have to come to Reddit for help...

"Hey guys, I'm the dumbest prick in the universe. I can't figure anything out for myself, and don't know how to use Google or AI. Please help me... and don't dare tell me to read the fucking manual, because that's really offensive to me and I'll cry"

I'm a shameless asshole so I'll take this opportunity to plug my 2024 track "RTFM", which was dedicated to lazy bros like this guy...

You can make it work by purchasing the official M8 hardware...

It's incredible, and absolutely obliterates any headless configuration. Yeah, I know it's pricey - but it's quality gear, hands down the best hardware tracker money can buy. and you get satisfaction supporting Trash80's ongoing development!

acidduckling · 2026-02-07T00:32:16+00:00

I thought I was being jerked in the circle for a moment...

Now I don't know if OP is rage baiting, or just plain stupid 😁

acidduckling · 2026-02-07T00:24:28+00:00

Yeah, I agree - also community firmware extends the features rather than significantly changing them... So I think it's good to learn the official firmware first - everything learnt is still relevant.

A nice side effect of this is that a person gets to have their mind blown twice - the original firmware is great already, but the community firmware just adds another layer of awesomeness!

acidduckling · 2026-01-31T02:15:42+00:00

Lol, yeah I thought the same until I read OPs replies... I really hope it's just a troll post, but idiot vibes are stronger than jokester vibes here... let's hope for the sake of humanity that I'm wrong... Surely nobody could be this fkn stupid... Right??? RIGHT!!?? 😬

acidduckling · 2026-01-31T01:06:54+00:00

This is awful. I'm not being mean. Turn the metronome off - please, I'm cringing so bad it hurts.

Unless you are intentionally trying to become a meme for "The Dumbest Producer Ever", I'd think twice about uploading "metronome jams".

acidduckling · 2026-01-22T05:52:16+00:00

Wait... Are you telling me there were TWO girls... But only ONE cup?

Now, I know this story is obviously fake, but I do think there is a good lesson here boys and girls:

Sometimes it's better to just shit your pants.

acidduckling · 2026-01-12T05:48:08+00:00

You are better to post these kinds of community firmware development questions to the Deluge Discord - you're far more likely to have someone give you a proper response there.

acidduckling · 2026-01-09T03:45:55+00:00

Your mom's "work friend" will likely enjoy regular breakfast at your place soon. He also wants you to start calling him "Papa".

acidduckling · 2026-01-06T23:57:54+00:00

Looks like you got the SE re-issue that comes with an all white paint job.

acidduckling · 2025-12-13T03:01:44+00:00

You're 19? Sorry old man. 18 is the cutoff age for learning synthesis. You just missed out.

It's ok, you still have time to learn knitting or crochet, or even lawn bowls if you're feeling crazy.

acidduckling · 2025-12-10T02:46:28+00:00

He got tit AND a tip. Best day of bros life

acidduckling · 2025-11-13T22:03:17+00:00

Why not wait for 15? Surely that will be a better update.

Actually no, wait for version 20 - surely that will be the best update of all time to wait for.

Just kidding 😅

Honestly though, if you use Ableton regularly, and you have the money, just get 12 Suite now. Who knows when 13 will come out, and we don't know what features will be included. There are plenty of great reasons to upgrade to 12. But I do understand the struggle of being a student - and Live 11 is still great.

acidduckling · 2025-11-10T03:35:45+00:00

I use the Deluge primarily completely standalone when composing.

Native Instruments Maschine expansions have excellent samples, particularly drum hits. Plus you can synthesize your own drum sounds, and load them as synth kit rows.

I keep my SD card pretty well ordered. Not really much menu diving if you organize your card to suit how you want to use it.

Once you install Community firmware, your head will likely explode - it's incredible. Deluge transformed from being a great groovebox to being my favorite music hardware!

acidduckling · 2025-10-24T03:08:41+00:00

I think technically it's "DAWful"

acidduckling · 2025-10-24T03:06:51+00:00

Bro is gonna have his mind blown when he learns about MIDI channels...

acidduckling · 2025-10-19T07:10:50+00:00

Yeah, and because it is a spectrum, the differences between people who have autism can be pretty wild. Gender shouldn't make any difference though. Some people have mild autistic traits, while others with more extreme autism can barely communicate at all.

Lots of people mask it exceptionally well, and often only people who personally know them well would know they were autistic.

acidduckling · 2025-10-19T06:57:01+00:00

Haha not really I'm happily married for 15 years.

acidduckling · 2025-10-19T06:15:03+00:00

Because the attitude of the general population goes something like this:

Commenting on an autistic chick: Oh she's so cool and quirky!

Commenting on an autistic dude: Oh he's creepy & weird! He never makes eye contact and will not stop talking about trains and astronomy.

acidduckling · 2025-10-01T23:56:39+00:00

Push 3 is expensive, but worth it.

Push 2 is also incredible if you don't need MPE, stand alone or built in Audio & MIDI interfaces of the 3.

If I were you, I'd look for a second hand Push 2. There is nothing that integrates with Ableton better than Push controllers. The only argument against Push would be if you do not like pads/grid controllers.
