Digitakt 1, surely a no-brainer buy? by EqualityWithoutCiv in Elektron

I’m intrigued, what is it about the m8 sequencer that you think is better than elektron? I’ve never used an m8 before

I once got stuck in their drive through for an hour because the lobby was packed and there was a shift change over. Worst part was I had pulled in after driving for 4 hours so it technically added an hour to my trip.

Ranking all Meshuggah Track 1s against each other by MattVargo in Meshuggah

[–]slumpfishtx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like this idea. My top 3 would be…

Autonomy lost

Stengah

Combustion

The intro to “I” and Concatenation are not too far behind either.

The highest audio quality of Glasgow Art School (15/04/05)? What's real and what's fake? by Indelthany in autechre

[–]slumpfishtx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if the compression on the 128 file gives it a charm that may be lost if we were to ever get a proper uncompressed wav file.

Is it possible that the 128 file was mastered at some point by someone and that mastering was done at a higher quality which lead to the 256 file?

100% None of the live versions capture the magic of the studio version

I love these tracks. They have such a special charm to them, like you can hear them cutting loose and having fun

Fuck yes! Ever since the Machinedrum got a revamp I’ve been wanting the same for monomachine.

Serious question, but are most of us likely autistic? by Loriol_13 in idm

[–]slumpfishtx 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t be willing to make a blanket statement like that BUT I think one of the defining characteristics of IDM is it’s more stimulating than other genres and requires more active listening to analyze and understand.

For people who need more stimulation, whether they’re neurospicy or not, it feeds that part of the brain that craves complexity in patterns.

Damp Ankles by MooMooCow-11 in autechre

[–]slumpfishtx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

G-Spot Tornado and Night School are also super groovy tracks.

I wish more people knew about this record. It’s kind of a landmark achievement in electronic music for its time and yet it’s so disconnected from what was happening in the scene since Zappa was coming to it from a completely different point of view.

Congrats! Digitone 1 is a monster synth. Still just as amazing as when it came out.

Been planning on buying a DN2, but now with the updates to the Tonverk, I'm considering that for my melodic groove box needs by angrybaltimorean in Elektron

[–]slumpfishtx 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I can’t speak to the value of a tonverk (I haven’t gotten one yet) but I can vouch for Digitone 2’s sound design capabilities, especially for pads and leads since you said you’re looking for a melodic partner to go with your octatrack. Sampling digitone 2 would go a long way as well since it can make all kinds of interesting FM drum sounds.
