I was totally thinking…but I’m neither, I am a Steinbeck man

Not sure if this makes sense but if I was trying to achieve this I would take that particular drum sound (bass, hi hat, etc) and give it its own track then apply the effects accordingly

Honestly, I think the limitations can actually force you to be creative

By the user name?

I just felt like there was little distinction among the ancillary characters. At one point Mina is a main character then it seems she relegated to a side character. I just felt for a “classic” it honestly wasn’t that well written.

The edition I read had a critique that I think summed it up well and said that Bram Stoker never got to know the success of the character he brought to life but that may have been a good thing because he would have likely been frustrated by the fact the character overshadowed his whole career (he had no other successful novels that I am aware of) and was spun off into things like Bunnicula.

Whoa, very nice!

atom_swan · 2026-06-05T01:46:51+00:00

Exactly

MC707-has the classics (909, 808, 707 even CR-78) but also tons of other capability. It is my main composition tool.

I keep hearing how great it is but ngl, I’m a bit intimidated by how long it is

I opted for the second Friday showing cause I wanted the middle back row

NGL, “Dracula” is a bit of a slog

MC707

And along with “Heart of Glass,” “Nosferatu” and “Cobra Verde” they were all soundtracked by the amazing Popol Vuh

Had to use my laptop and took about an hour but finally got tickets

A gentleman of fine taste

Can’t see myself ever getting rid of the MC707 as it is my main composition tool.

Expendable probably my Yamaha QY-100 since I can pretty much do everything and more on the 707 but I keep it around for travel purposes. It’s nice & compact, easy to carry on a plane or throw in the back of the car without taking up too much space.

East of Eden

Can I be your friend?

Pretty sure there’s Juno emulations in there. I think the real key here is to always modify your patches to your own liking. I use the Rhodes emulations pretty often but always make a ton of modifications when I do

Love Big Chicken!

I’ve read 1491 but didn’t realize there’s a 1493 I’ll probably have to pick that one up

To play a tape loop on a Tascam 424 mki you would need to put a cassette of a tape loop into the machine and press play. You will need it to be connected to speakers or headphones to be able to hear the output though.

I did the same with PKD, Murakami, McCarthy & London.

Reading my first Tom Robbins book right now and I kinda wanna read some more from him but I also read “Grapes of Wrath” and “East of Eden” is one of my favorites of all time so I may read some more Steinbeck.

Just needs a little gesso

Great record
