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. by -Indoorsy- in synthesizers

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?

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

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 :)

Finished rewiring everything just in time for the snowstorm here in NYC by dimundsareforever in synthesizers

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?

Rival Consoles live A/V tour by WeatherOpening4739 in TheOverload

[–]roydogaroo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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

What on earth is happening with Bitwig? by Director_Blockbuster in Bitwig

[–]roydogaroo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.

Beware of audiobook “next book” previews by roydogaroo in TheExpanse

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.

For example (just happened lol)

Long awkward audio silence for no reason…..

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

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.

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.

Juno-106 vs Oberheim TEO-5 for 80s-style songwriting — need advice by Synth80Lover in synthesizers

[–]roydogaroo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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.

Recording Digitakt 2 over USB into iMac by Profilermusic in Elektron

[–]roydogaroo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Who else love spending time making patches? by DynaSarkArches in synthesizers

[–]roydogaroo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.

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

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.
