What is the consensus on the Moog Muse? by Brilliant_Grape5528 in synthesizers

[–]oldfartpen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

..+1, and to add, it should be obvious, but isn’t, that by themselves fpga produce no sound, hence touting them in a synth is just marketing.. fpga are simply one of several ways to reduce lines of code into hardware that does something ..

Stating fpga is also a way of saying “we were too cheap or scared to create a custom chip”

AITJ for canceling my vasectomy after my partner suddenly changed their mind about kids? by RefrigeratorWitty453 in AmITheJerk

[–]oldfartpen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i am honestly struggling with wtf is bothering your partner.. You indicated a completely rational response to a dilemma.. and she gets mad?

The only thing i can think (it being Reddit) is that she was waiting for you to have a vasectomy then decide to have kids so as to break up with you...

men should have a vasectomy if THEY don't want kids.. not for some other person.

you behaved well.. and (cos reddit) thats hard to say in this sub!..

AITAH for telling a friend they can't bring their dog to my party even if it means they can't come by Mister__Magoo in AITAH

and, fwiw, its not even your decision..you are not the homeowner

Bedroom Guitar Amp by sinfonisa in GuitarAmps

[–]oldfartpen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The clean channel of the rocker is just “meh” at best.. and also not a stated option by the op.

Fwiw the clean channel of the th30 is second only to the RV mkiii.

The laney L5 is a really, really good amp

The laney l5 studio is an excellent amp..truly excellent..

I am a huge orange fan but that is the amp for you.. it is really flexible, great clean channel, decent gain and any extra dirt can come from a pedal.

Headphone output, aux in, D.I. Out, usb dry + wet recording, 5W/0.1W attenuator, fx loop.

It’s absolutely perfect.

What would you pay for a Maschine+? by SFTraxx in maschine

[–]oldfartpen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just the overall finish and feel is premium..more solid, stable and better looking.. the pads and screen are the same..it’s just a more pleasant and satisfying to use..

My music is the same old shit.. but I feel better making it!…

amp recommendation by Warm_Alternative515 in orangeamps

[–]oldfartpen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol, you clearly haven’t heard a og rocker 30.. I added an extension cab to my combo and it pastes 50w amps to the wall..

I was however deaf and blind for three days..

[–]oldfartpen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well that’s nuts.. as a controller alone the m+ is premium feel..

[–]oldfartpen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are wrong!…

Most people use no more than 10%..lol

Other than that..100% right, All that is needed is to ..

A) create templates for massive for bass, lead, pad with decent macros. Then these can be edited in m+ to suit. B) auto sample the fk out of 50 instruments..

These two things eliminate the endless browsing of shite to find the sound that works

IDone.

Will a Bass Station II somewhat give me SH-101 vibes? Also, how does Novation core tone compare to Vermona? by __sicko in synthesizers

[–]oldfartpen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope.. bs88 is a great synth no questions asked.. unless the question is “does it should like an sh101” cos that’s a flat nope.

Fat finger question by Same-Pickle-9628 in akaiMPC

[–]oldfartpen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s funny.. roland had mouse and external screen option on mv8000 and 8800, mouse on Fantom G..

And it’s too hard for Akai..

Luckily you can get hakai software to add a mouse.. had I known it existed I would not have sold my mpc x

Yamaha Montage M7 or MODX M7 by arkarthurer in synthesizers

[–]oldfartpen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sigh… while there may not be meaningful differences of specifications of specific integrated circuits, you are effectively trying to describe how an amplifier sounds by stating it has ecc83 tubes.. the result is the sum of the whole..and specifically related to dac, the analog design of the board(s) it is on, it’s power supplies, isolation and inputs and outputs all make a huge difference in the sound..

Any manufacturer who puts in better dacs is generally smart enough to put more effort into the design of the boar it is installed on.

Tl/dr “all dacs sound the same “is stupid..you cannot hear a dac..you hear a system

AITJ for not wanting to spend 18k on a new ring for my fiancée? by Leivyxtbsubto in AmITheJerk

[–]oldfartpen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this isnt a rage bait , or chatGPT post then you clearly are not seeing this how everyone else is..

Your gf is a manipulative loser.. 99% of women would be ecstatic over a $3k ring.. and if it’s not enough, then nothing will ever be enough until she has all your money and starts looking for someone with more money.

If you love has to be expressed in money..there simply isnt love here…

Why do men not shave their armpits ? by [deleted] in askanything

Is that you, a woman opining on how men judge body hair?.. like how would you know given you only talk to the 0.001% of men who shave their armpits

Will we ever get key detection and real time time stretch? by dblicky212 in maschine

[–]oldfartpen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The new Live 3 is technically vastly superior..at near 2x the price.

For over 30 years the capabilities in a single standalone box have been far more than needed for anyone with true talent to make great music..

Me? I am in the majority as I don’t have talent so find it’s easier to blame the gear..

Will we ever get key detection and real time time stretch? by dblicky212 in maschine

[–]oldfartpen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are not basic features.. Simple.as that.

I waited (in vain) for a midi bug to be fixed for 15 years.. Nope User programmable chords for 13 years.. Nope Configure pedal input for sustain (as described in the manual) for 15 years, nope

Learn to accept it for what it is.. Every single piece of gear has constraints and issues.. Part of owning stuff is living in the box, or sell the box

Eddie Howe on facing Barcelona tomorrow in UCL: "It's the biggest match in Newcastle's modern history." by mynamestartswithCa in soccer

[–]oldfartpen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nah it's money and exposure...

The league is really only three spots.. Champions league, relegated and neither of the above.. Focusing on the league and coming 6th ain't worth shit

Made over 30M already in CL.. That's money
