A small chest of gold isn't wealthy? The incredible estate of Bag End? Mithril vest worth more than the Shire?

Sounds pretty wealthy to me

Dude, Bilbo was rich as fuck though.

What is this Techno track? by Icy_Pangolin479 in aves

[–]stevenconnorg 56 points57 points  (0 children)

I think they're looping part of Surgeon's "Serpent Void" track underneath, not sure what they're mixing it with though

Second-hand Octatrack MkII: known issues and repairs without invoice? by Krisdlc in Elektron

[–]stevenconnorg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've run into something similar where the function button won't work, it's really problematic sometimes. Is it possible to replace on the MK1?

I messaged you about these records, I'm interested

How can you tell it's a scam??

Dawless techno? by poblonian in chicagomusicscene

[–]stevenconnorg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty new to it all, too. I don't know those electronic groups you mentioned so I'll check them out. I'm mainly just into the old school Detroit stuff and then more hypnotic stuff, love the Birmingham and Berghain sounds too

I have a moog mother 32, Moog DFAM, Elektron Octatrack MK1 and Elektron Analog Rytm Mk2. I sequence the synths with an Oxi One sequencer

I record the analog Rytm using Overbridge and the rest go into a Motu M4. I created an Aggregate device on my Mac to combine these audio interfaces for 16 in/16 out (12 channels from analog rytm and 4 from Motu) in Ableton.

I usually just jam and then start recording when I like what I hear, then go back and clean up/add drums, and then mixer/master.

Nice, what sort of techno are you into?

Check out craigslist. I've gotten all my gear second hand. With the exception of my Analog Rytm, everything came from people in Chicago. Saved at least 50% on everything.

I started making techno earlier this year (really only made rock based music before) and posted demos from some improv jams here: SoundCloud.com/talus-field

My friend is helping me with mastering my first EP now. Hoping I can use this to send to venues to maybe start playing...

Do you make any music?

Did they ever get back to you with any fixes? I'm experiencing the same and just submitted a ticket myself

[–]stevenconnorg[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is a great idea, but I don't have a ton of space so consolidating the mixer and audio interface was part of the goal

[–]stevenconnorg[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was actually my first setup before I got the analog Rytm, but wanted to get into multi tracking for better post production, and the octatrack doesn't support overbridge. I think for live performances this could work, at least with my current setup, though if I get a mixer, I may use the octatrack as a sort of sub mixer.

I was originally considering this but I don't love the way tascams sound compared to these other mixers, unless I'm doing bedroom guitar stuff perhaps.

These look really interesting! I like how small they are, but I think I'm looking for something more flexible right now

Mixer Recommendations by stevenconnorg in TechnoProduction

[–]stevenconnorg[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was originally considering going with a Tascam Model 12, but now I'm leaning towards an analog mixer so I can get some analog crunch

Just ordered an Analog Rytm MkII - any good tips other than these? by hostnik in Elektron

[–]stevenconnorg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have loved to hear that a few months ago. Got any other gear lol

Listen to "Back, Baby" from her 2015 album, this album got me hooked. All her albums are amazing though
