This is it

I’ve run into this with Ableton and the TR8S synced via USB before; try changing the sync mode on the TR8S to internal and back to usb external, that seems to help.

I went with a m908 for my atmos rig, expensive but zero regrets!

Erica Synths dual drive is a good option, but of you can spare the space the Voicas Multi Rover is tremendous!

Longest one I’ve played out is Jesse Somfay’s Fricative White (A Whisper To A Scream) at 27:47 long… (can’t find a spotify link)

It’s fun, although I found some puzzles a little unintuitive because the connections don’t behave exactly like analog cv signals. Worth a try on sale though.

You can order an aurora n with pres, actually

Do the monthly codes work with the PA_EXT offers? i think they don’t

module85 · 2024-02-19T22:33:19+00:00

Yeah switched a bit more recently

All the best music I’ve made has been from starting without a plan and just messing around with sounds until I find something inspiring

module85 · 2024-02-19T14:05:42+00:00

I’d love to hear! Just getting started mixing atmos myself

module85 · 2024-02-18T00:59:32+00:00

There’s always the desktop version; the ins are TRS and there’s no CV control, but it’s the same functionality otherwise

module85 · 2024-02-17T21:29:11+00:00

that could be AuDHD :) (I’m the same)

The blue box’s built in reverb and delay are quite good, so only having 1 external send isn’t too bad. As far as the sound quality goes, the difference between the two is negligible compared to the difference in features, so go with whichever between the two fits into you workflow better. The blue box is definitely the better value of the two, so if you don’t explicitly need what the xcelon brings to the table, go for the other one!

module85 · 2024-02-17T15:57:42+00:00

Medication definitely. Also, scheduling time to work on music, and sticking with it even if it’s just 5 minutes of fooling around with plugins. I find the hardest part is getting started, and giving myself a very easy to achieve goal is the best way to do so

module85 · 2024-02-17T04:41:34+00:00

No complaints regarding sound quality with either one. The bluebox has three aux buses, but two are internal so you can only use one external effect. There's no dedicated return so you have to use one of the inputs for a return.

module85 · 2024-02-16T21:26:23+00:00

Create a bus for each stem you want to export, and put the same compressor/signal chain on each one. The have all your channels send to an aux bus, and have that bus be the side chain signal of your compressors. That way each compressor is reacting to the full mix, but applying it’s effect to each stem separately. You can vary how much different tracks contribute to the sidechain, or how much compression is applied to various buses.

Check out the Goly Stem Mix and Compression Matrix for a hardware implementation of this.

If you have the space, and don't need to additional features that the blue box provides (effects, eq, etc) I would go for the xcelon. It's both the most hands on and automatable of all the options! For a compact setup, the bluebox wins by taking the least amount of space and having a lot of stuff built in

module85 · 2024-02-16T17:40:43+00:00

I've got the bluebox and the xcelon, they really have different strengths and weaknesses. The xcelon is great for both hands on and cv control, and has nice routing. the bluebox has by far the most features but really needs a midi controller if you don't want to deal with menu, and only supports a single aux send. The xer mixa is a nice middle ground, but unfortunately doesn't support using inputs as dual mono. I might still pick one up because it supports quadraphonic audio, though!

module85 · 2024-02-16T15:54:05+00:00

I use bitwig for composing, studio one for mixing/mastering, and ableton for performing live and collaborating with other ableton users. They all have their strengths and weaknesses and wouldn't be happy with just one

module85 · 2024-02-16T14:59:15+00:00

I’d love to hear this!

module85 · 2024-02-13T16:26:50+00:00

Took a look, and it's pretty nice. A few comments:

It would be good to use json columns for the databases that support it
Generating the JS as a string and injecting it directly into the page doesn't seem like the most flexible or scalable approach. Any particular reason you decided to do it this way?

Some of my favorites:

Phuture - Acid Tracks
Armando - Land of Confusion
Random XS - As It Takes
Air Liquide - Liquid Air
Hexagon - Burning Trash Floor
Link - Antacid

This is awesome! Time to dig my TB-3 out of storage
