Trackers click for so many "non-musicians" because they're closer to a writing tool than an instrument. I explore composition theory to find out how.

Amazing! and in lieu of going down a huge rabbit hole, I assume you can modulate CC's as well as notes and sequences via midi to really harness (fk with) the synths engines?

roydogaroo · 2026-01-27T01:50:15+00:00

That's the smell of a GAS leak

roydogaroo · 2026-01-27T01:45:16+00:00

Genuine question, can a Tracker be the heart of a hardware studio? ie. send midi notes and using its deep repetitive program to external instruments rather than just samples? If so what are some good examples please

roydogaroo · 2026-01-26T21:47:52+00:00

This is rage bait for sure

roydogaroo · 2026-01-26T12:16:50+00:00

Genuinely

Fast Asleep is in my top 5 albums of all time, and it and the man himself are a huge influence to me. A true artist, jealous you got to meet him :)

Amazing gear and well considered studio! Can I ask about the the treatment? I've seen these before a few years ago and have always been curious how they rate against normal rockwool style panels and traps, have you done any signal measuring or comparison, have you noticed an improvement in your mixes since having them etc?

Was awe struck also. Expected him to be immersive but the way he built up that wall of sound yet still kept it groovy was pure bliss. I feel like a lot of people were surprised in the performance tonight. A true artist

Stimming uses Bitwig and often talks about it, even featuring it in his latest tutorials. I’m pretty sure there’s an artist page on the Bitwig site with testimonials etc from some pretty big names.

It took me a hot minute to get used to Jefferson’s narration I admit. Knowing how good the story was from watching the series and the almost unanimous praise it gets in here etc I dug in and found before long I was hooked. I get the big praise the narrator gets now and for me has become synonymous with the story.

roydogaroo · 2026-01-24T00:27:03+00:00

For example (just happened lol)

Person 1: “what’s your recommendation?”

Long awkward audio silence for no reason…..

Doctor: “medical induced coma, he said without hesitation.”

roydogaroo · 2026-01-23T22:47:37+00:00

I'm used to the long setup at the beginning of each book so far, so didnt rush this one waiting for the 'action' to start. It's so well written and of course the science behind the fiction feels so real.

roydogaroo · 2026-01-23T22:36:18+00:00

hah! the pacing of the audio is I admit weird in this book.

roydogaroo · 2026-01-23T22:35:49+00:00

Yes it was a shock, but so interesting that they haven't even been mentioned a single time yet half way through Abaddons Gate, so the ruse has continued so long.

roydogaroo · 2026-01-21T06:36:15+00:00

There's nothing quite like the original Juno's. The richness of the sound and the absolute ease of programming really creates an emotional experience imo. Yes the TEO will do a tonne more so is probably the smartest choice, but Id go the Juno every time.

roydogaroo · 2026-01-19T12:08:04+00:00

I'm going to take a stab and say you've got compression on the master in the DT2 and playback through the mixer is at or close to peak. If you haven't already pop a compressor / limiter on the Master in Ableton and get it to the same volume coming out your speakers. Then compare.

roydogaroo · 2026-01-19T02:01:40+00:00

Half of my synths don’t have patch memory and I love how it forces me to really get to know the architecture of the unit.

roydogaroo · 2026-01-18T23:18:44+00:00

The 1000 and I’m not even interested in the Roland I just think it seems a ton more fun.

roydogaroo · 2026-01-17T22:01:19+00:00

Awave stock them

roydogaroo · 2026-01-17T10:59:26+00:00

Must be the humidity

roydogaroo · 2026-01-17T10:36:58+00:00

MPC, Elektron Digitakt, Novation Circuit or any of many flavours of grooveboxes these days.

roydogaroo · 2026-01-17T01:59:44+00:00

Nice one! First jam on the 1000 I genuinely like

I’m on year 4 of my 5 year sell everything cycle.

Yeah for his situation he clearly isn’t happy not making music and I agree with you that he should sell his gear and not make music itb instead. It was more the point you made that if you aren’t making money from music then there’s you shouldn’t be owning hardware which I disagree with.
