analoq

i would have entertained a follow-up response, but a thanks does nicely as well. you're welcome.

today get get 3 analoq responses for the price of one: 1. are you sure your Behringer is dead? i owned a Eurorack-series mixer for 5+ years and had no issues with it (though admittedly the UB series is crappier). perhaps the power supply just needs to be replaced. 2. Mackie. check out the 1202-VLZ, it's more inputs/outputs than you need but it is a high-quality and durable mixer, you could probably find a used one for a decent price as well. 3. do you really need a mixer? investing in a good audio interface would be a better recording solution in most cases, but your needs may be unique. cheers.

so you tinkered with it, you didn't actually use it for a project... so it wasn't tinkered with in your own setup or with your own stuff.. only once? i love DP but really, why bother giving advice when you're so obviously uninformed?

and how would that be relevant, pray tell? the only reason FF7 is brought up in that list is because there's a Yamaha wavetable on of the discs. it's a useless bit of info what Uematsu used. cheers.

so larry mods the larry's mods threa-- oh i get it. i'm going to go kill myself now. anyway, i'm curious about Grado mods and impressed that the Grados have such flexibility and inspire a modding community. last time i needed pads for my RS2s i bought some regular bowls and they work out for me, but next time i might try something different, those C-pads look sweet. cheers.

i think Logic Express is the best choice for you as well, that's why i recommended it. for what it's worth, Cubase was my favorite sequencer until i found Logic. cheers.

could be a minimoog, but you're probably looking for an interpretation of that patch? i'd say the main characterizations of that sound are portamento and vibrato. the waveform sounds like a pulsewave thru a lopass filter. that's off the top of my head and probably a good place for you to start, but i'll see if i can make an example for you tomorrow. cheers.

let's try Logic Express (what i use these days). $300 or $150 for the non-upgradable educational version... side notes: - changing sequencers for better samples/synths doesn't make a lot of sense. that's what 3rd party plugins are for. you can plug all kinds of excellent samples, softsynths and effects into GarageBand because it supports AUs. - demos! give Ableton Live a try. there is a demo of it you can download and play with. there's one for Metro as well, i think. maybe some of the other apps on that list as well. hope that helps. cheers.

you totally get the point of this thread. but seriously, the 'who uses what' thread would've done nicely. nice stuff anyway, tho.

who loves synthesizers? everyone, duh. Compyfox has been working on a resource detailing softsynths that approximate hardware synthesizers; both vintage and modern classics. most of us are software-oriented producers (myself included) so perhaps it is of interest? there's links to free stuff too, so peep it even if you're cashless: cheers.

Max is the most capable, but also the most expensive and difficult to use. Reaktor is less capable, less expensive but more musician-friendly. SynthEdit is even less capable, most CPU taxing, but it's free and fairly easy to use. that's the general idea, if you want to get into the specifics of capability i'm probably not the best person to ask, but either way i'm sure any one of those apps will keep you busy for a long time. also there's two free programs in a similar vein: pd and jMAx. i have no experience with either but you can add it to your list of stuff to check out that won't hurt your wallet. cheers.

last time a Max thread popped up it didn't get much response. most people here use more abstracted environments like Reaktor and SynthEdit. Max can do some crazy-cool things but there's a demanding investment of time necessary to get to that point. not that there's anything wrong with that... cheers.

overachiever

so you don't know how to edit posts. oh well. that's the main reason i bothered with the ReMOTE series, separate mod/pitch wheels aren't as useful to me as a pitch stick is. i guess i have something in common with virt? oh gnoes. but to each his own. cheers.

you need two threads about you getting a controller?

too bad, an Axiom review might've interested me. you see i'm shopping for a new 61-key controller as well, i bought a remote 61 LE which i liked because it had the features i wanted without having the features i don't want (like the SL does) sadly the unit was defective, the replacement i was given was defective, and the remaining 2 units the retailer had in stock were also defective. grr. so, you may want to avoid that one.

in progress: nothing. to do: nothing comes to mind. i'm quite possibly the most prolific remixer ever.

hay guys whats goin on in this thread penis penis penis

wenn ist das nunstruck git und slotermeyer? ja.... beiherhund das oder die Flipperwaldt gersput (: tscheuss.

it's still one of the better high-end music production tools on the PC, despite it not being the latest-and-greatest. emagic bid a kind farewell to it, the last PC version is very reliable and efficient -- it will keep you going for a long time. VST2 support is fine, though iirc VSTi's with multiple outputs were kinda iffy. overall: yes, it's worth using. cheers.

Actually, no. analoq uses Logic, since before it was bought by Apple and then renamed into "Logic Pro". i got on Logic with v4 gold.. good times. i've used Tracktion for last year or so.. Logic 5 was starting to show it's age. but now that i have a (decent) Mac i may reacquaint myself with Logic when i have more money. in the meantime, GarageBand does 90% of what i want and that remaining 10% will force me to try new things. whee. cheers.

i have an 828 team motu unite??

since i already spoke with you, i'll just leave you with a hearty "Nice pull!" cheers.

here's something fun for you guys. if you remember back on page 3, i took a stab at 'Icon of Sin' and then soon after resigned from the project. now you can know why... here's what i came up with: http://foshata.com/stuff/analoq_iconofsin.ogg (800k) i like that kind of style but for Doom it's an auto-fail. fail x2. i'm keeping the drum loop, though. cheers.

i may take a shot at the open track ttyl
