Hi there! What's been on your mind? What have you done this week? Any fun plans next week?
Last week I finally decided to bite the bullet and upgrade from my mixer/zoom interface setup to an Apollo x6. Also ordered the JU-06a so it will be an exciting week.
Over the weekend, the husband and I traded synths (he now has the Prophet Rev2 and I have the Behringer Deepmind 6). Makes me realize how much I hate the workflow of the Deepmind even though it sounds good and also made my husband want a prophet lol.
Deepmind was the first synth I returned to the store for a refund - did not care for that workflow at all. At the time it was a compelling feature set for the price, but there are so many more options now.
Just got an Elektron Model:Cycles and it’s as fun as I was hoping for! Excited to actually complete a track with it.
Arturia is doing a sale on their software synths. I'm resisting the temptation to add to my collection, but I figure someone here might be interested.
After using analog lab and being disappointed in it, I find it hard to be interested in their stand-alone synths. I find the analog lab sounds flat and fake. I have heard good things from others online about the stand-alones, though.
I hear a lot of good things about Pigments, but it's a tough sell when Vital does most of the same things for free.
I’ve been working on some live visualisations to make my time in the studio even more fun.
I was, but it's really not available anywhere. I also tried building my own using RaspberryPi but gave up because the software is pretty outdated, so getting it to run was more of a challenge than I was ready for at that point.
Right now I am learning to use Resolume. I am working with Resolume Avenue right now but considering switching to Resolume Wire to get a bit more flexibility.
