Analog Synth time

[Eridu]

when I hear someone say, "i gotta have an analog synth for its sound", I think, "this guy must be on a whole other level if he can tell the difference between a patch made on an analogue synth or vsti". Then I have a listen to their music and I know its the "hardware will make my music sound better" syndrome.

[paosciante]

well, i have personally experienced not having to spend so much time mixing because of using some analog stuff... if ur original source has the bass or deepness you need you dont need to do it afterwards when mixing... you can skip the process to make your sound more "analog sounding" ...

I got a Nord Rack 2x and I highly recommend it

I can also recommend this synth.

I'm surprised more brosteppers aren't on it actually, cause you can get some hard (filthy? ) sounds out of it.

I don´t even like brostep or anything but I still love using this synth haha. Good for some Calvin Harris style stuff too

well, we are talking analog here

nord is digital, although good digital
i myself use the modular g1 and its a nasty beast! able of doing whatever u want... better modlation options than any DAW with automation

it´s Virtual Analog actually

[paosciante]

therefore its not analog
is a digital emulating an analog

Depends what kind of music you wanna make.



If I wanted to destroy DEMF I'd get a Dave Smith Poly Evolver.

I just purchased a Moog Minitaur, it sounds great.. I was going for the slim phatty originally but decided on stepping down to the Minitaur. I've been using digital synths for a bit now, but when going into the analog world it just allows you to have a more natural flow to your work, its really preference above all imo you can design great sounds from both sides.

Side note can anyone direct me to a good multi track audio interface (can't seem to find a thread on here)?

[nowaysj]

wah? I promise there are a lot of threads for audio i/o. What level of quality, os are you into?

[Sharmaji]

nowaysj, are we getting our minbrutes next week? I think we are

[nowaysj]

I think we are bro. I got some shit coming together, would be a really good time for it (not that feb wouldn't have been better )

You know what I'm not leaving it to chance. Lemme call this dude.

[nowaysj]

Left message. I don't have any kind of email confirmation that it shipppppped. Fark, maybe didn't ship.

[Sharmaji]

i get the sense that they're getting 'em in THIS week, and we get them NEXT week.

or in 2014. or something.

[nowaysj]

It never ends w this shit! Honestly at this point, if this thing sucks I'm going to be a lot more disappointed than if Id just spent a few hundred dollars on a synth. All this waiting has been killing me.

[outdropt]

I am glad you guys are the guinea pig's for this. And that your still posting on this topic!!

When it comes in (hopefully soon =P) Could you post some clips of sounds' that you have designed?

Just want to get a glimpse of the capabilities of this bad boy.

[paosciante]

Yeah, these Arturia guys are fuckin annoying

I guess they are having a very bad time trying to make everything work, but its been like 3 months now...

En fin...

Whenever it arrives we will all be very happy to know your impressions of it! I'm defently looking in buying one, just don't want to wait until the next eclipse

[nowaysj]

I forgot to post this this morning: Get your shotgun... "END OF JUNE"

wtf man? Moog should run a special, any prospective mini brute users that preorded get a $100 discount of the minotaur. I still wouldn't switch, but come on, arturia.

[komanderkin]

whaaaaat? postponed until end of june?

anyways...

nowaysj, are we getting our minbrutes next week? I think we are

I think we are bro.

samplepack or it didn't happen!

[nowaysj]

I'll surely do it, but it'll be in ancient dusty old Kontakt 3.5 format... I'll even run em through a tube pre, but, you should really be asking sharma up there, he's got the real creamy gear (and ear)

[komanderkin]

yesssssss! looking forward to that.



even better that it's Kontakt 3.5, makes it compatible with all later versions.
