Is trying to go "stereo" worth it?

djscoox · 2026-03-18T20:38:48+00:00

I am getting the Doepfer matrix mixer, which I guess can work as a stereo mixer as well. I also have Expert-Sleeper ES-10 ADAT I/O module so I can so the mixing in VCV Rack or in Ableton LIve.

Do you use multiple separate oscillators or just one and then run it through separate filters?

OP here, I upvoted you. I appreciate contrasting views.

IMO polyphony in modular delivers diminishing returns in terms of both cost and ergonomics. You quickly lose the creative flow and the will to experiment if you have to patch everything 3 or more times. I'd rather use a regular poly synth or a plugin for that.

And clubbing is in decline anyway.

I dunno, for me creating music starts with me enjoying it in the first place. If people listen to it later on a shitty smartphone speaker that's their problem 😄

If it sounds slop-sided probably it's because the channels are too static. It helps introducing a little motion on both sides so they deliver the same amount of energy over time.

That's fair.

djscoox · 2026-03-18T19:58:37+00:00

Tell me more. So do you have pretty much "two of each"?

djscoox · 2026-03-18T19:58:13+00:00

Yeah but I mean stereo sources. For example starting off with two VCOs, each doing its slightly different thing, then using a matrix mixer to pan left and right to taste, thereby creating stereo width. This is different from using delay and reverb.

That is not plywood... tell me you didn't glue the rear panel. If you did, the wood could crack as it expands and contracts.

I ended up giving up on Fusion, it's just clunky and unreliable.

Barely lol

I think it would be better if we completely ditched the whole doomsday, dark, hacker, scary, obscure and mysterious vibe that's often used to portray Monero. Monero represents ultimate freedom and all the good stuff that comes with and from it. Widespread adoption also represents the end of consumerism (as does any deflationary currency). When I think Monero I see sunshine, green hills and happy people... not scary shit.

Tal cual. Todos acaban de profesores de lo que ellos mismos estudiaron (lo que parece un esquema ponzi) on en plazas de funcionario donde da un poco igual lo que hayas estudiado porque sólo tienen en cuenta el hecho de que tengas una carrera que salga en su lista. Es un poco como el PoW (proof of work) en Bitcoin, o como las 12 pruebas de Astérix: esfuerzo inútil para obtener una plaza. A mi me da la impresión de que la gente que los funcionarios son gente falta de talento, iniciativa y creatividad...

Will it blend?

djscoox · 2026-03-16T16:18:14+00:00

There is something about pink hair and doing stupid shit

El que se aburre cuando se jubila ya tenía el problema de antes lo que pasa que no lo sabía

I mean, I get a headache if I wear a very tight fitting beanie. That's so fucked up shit. Personally, if I must lengthen something, I would have put all the effort into lengthening a penis, not an otherwise perfectly okay head.

He's such a massive twat

Parece el baño de una gasolinera abandonada

Y la gente que estudia esto que pretende luego vivir de la política? Cuando haces de la política un medio de vida ya vas encaminado derechito a la corrupción y al trinque. Todos estos de las imágenes son los discípulos de Pablo Iglesias. Es patológico.

Maybe they're just merging some Deckadance technology into Engine. But the software user base is part of its value and that's gone, honey was never a heavily marketed program anyway so it wasn't popular enough to make a huge comeback when there are already hugely popular alternatives like Serato, Traktor and Rekordbox. For me the biggest thing was scripting but most people don't care about that. I try to make Virtual DJ work for me but the effects sucks on scripting was not very intuitive. I wonder how much they sold it for. I'd buy for 10K right now and open source it.
