On the subject on gearlust, has anyone seen the Aeroplane Future Music studio tour??

Jesus wept, he likes synths...

I went and got a Bass Station 2, didn't I...

Let the hardware synth collecting begin... I have dreams of a studio like the fantastically ridiculous ones you see in the future music studio tours.

This video is a does a damn good job of selling it :) Makes it look like a great tool for promoting experiementation. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cagbBg0TmgM Still think the Bass Station 2 is the best option for a budget monophonic though, and packs in a lot more features than the £150 price diff...

fragments wrote:Pulse 2 looks really interesting IMO. It some how fakes 8 voices in a monosynth.

It's paraphonic - it plays multiple pitches, but from the same osc (voice), so it's still a single oscillator.

Fuck it, I'm splurging some cash - in the future that is, I'm going to save my pocket money and gett a Nord Lead 4R :) Of course, by that time there will be a new batch of goodies to lust after. Has anyone considered the Waldorf Pulse 2? Similar price range, looks very interesting indeed. Sorry, goi...

Ujima! Haven't tuned in to that station for ages

Sunday it is...

I reckon those that buy this will get SERIOUS synth lust and a can of worms will be truly opened, might be worth anticipating this and getting a Bass Station 2 instead given that they give so many more options? I'm thinking about getting one (or a mini brute). Love the simplicity of the mini brute, ...

I was going to use it for the live setup, and mapping an N.I. F1 was the option I went with. It's great to be honest, I have a script that makes it navigate Ableton fluently, that couple with another controller gives me an awesome, tactile and reliable setup. LED feedback is perfect as works as expe...

I was eyeing up a Quneo for a long time as it seemed to fit a lot of live needs, but after reading so many pages of unhappy customers and problems getting it to do what you want, I went for more reliable options.

Apologies to KM Instruments if this has been sorted now

I have a pair of Audio Technica ATH-M50's and I am very happy with them. The best thing is not the clarity (which is very good) but more because more than any other headphone I've tested, the sound they produced is the closest to monitors. Often when moving from cans to monitors, you notice things t...

I'd rather listen to a really well arranged song with an interesting melody that uses presets, then the best sound design in the world with all the bells and whistle that uses a three note melody. Agreed. There's tonnes of tracks that have elaborate sound design, but don't have any grove or feeling...

Virtually everything I do comes from the ideas that come to mind when listening to other music. It's the original spark which gets everything going. New ideas come from this, and so on, and so on. Some of the most creative things I've done are the result of a chain reaction, starting with something ...

The reason why you would make more selling on itunes over a major label, assuming of course the label isn't selling your tracks on itunes themselves, is because the label takes almost all of the album sales. I mean after all, they did give you that contract that you have to pay them back for. Cause...

Just saw that iTunes sells 15,000 tracks per minute (http://uber-facts.com/2013/07/30/every-60-seconds-on-the-internet/) 15,000 tracks per minute! That equates to 21,600,000 tracks per day. For arguments sake, let’s say each track is £0.50 (probably more), then this means £10,800,000 per day in reve...

My girlfriend recently read a book called 'bounce' and the whole thing was study into people with perceived 'talent'. Long story short, the book sets out that this is utter bullshit and it's all about practice - and efficient / effective methods of practice. So set out a good plan of what you want t...

I find a good approach to learning is to break each individual component down and learn the shit out of it before moving on. You get there much quicker and you stop hitting barriers as often. Most questions are less about understanding and more about creative ideas. For example - taking a synthesis ...

On the subject, always worth having a folder of drums samples that you've per-processed. Every time I make a track I'll bounce out the really juicy sounds so that they can be used nex time without having to go through muchl processing (only having to adapt the sound for that track rather than wholes...

Is it just me or does simpler simply suck ass? It's got good features, but the quality of the sounds that come out of it is absolutely terrible IMO. Anyone else agree? I don't use it that often these days but it's always been good for me... hold on, do you mean the stock instruments that come with ...

Thanks for the replies guys, funnily enough I have literally just invested on a pair of studio headphones (ATH-M50's) and they're sat on my desk as we speak with music playing through them to burn them in a bit! As you can probably tell, I've turned my attention to monitoring at the moment :) I'm p...
