I work with a great friend of mine on his gear, I don't really know how to use the racks, but the writing process is pretty collaborative, and then that gear is routed through a 24 channel mixer and out to a large PA, 18"s and 15"s.. and we use those beats for backing a vocalist we work with to do live sets.
we've got 3 rack mount samplers, 3 rack mount synth banks, 3 delay boxes + a reverb box, and a yamaha drum machine and a small yamaha midi sequencer to get everything going.. dub that out on the board.. shit sounds huge on the PA

But they are easy to to get sounding good on just about any PA from my experience.Misk wrote: tbh, i like messing with the electribes, but i dont feel like they sound "produced" enough alone... to stand up against the dubstep of today.
I have the older ones (ER/EA/EM) and with a bit of EQing on the mixing board they can push big sound through a system. I oft push a louder cleaner sound than the DJs (both digital and vinyl.)
I am just starting to fiddle around with recording tracks and am starting to see that I need to tweak my compositions a bit for recording purposes. Digital recording is a lot less forgiving than a PA

The trick is really tuning things for the medium Live vs. Recording etc
oh i mean, the emx and esx sound fat. they sound super fat, as in, vinyl doesnt sound as fat as this. Like, beats from the damn SOURCE! but still, theres things i can't really do on them like massive overproduced luscious pads, and crazy effects and things like that, unless i resample some nutty wobble and load it into the sampler. I'm working on a new and improved live set, so we'll see though. it's all about refining, isnt it.
out of curiosity, what's your kit like?Misk wrote:yeah, i've been rocking the korg electribe mx and sx for a while now. both are pretty dope, although limited. But thats the best thing about hardware! You've gotta really dig deep to work out some tunes, and plan ahead, but you can make some sick stuff if you get into it. Also, the process of arranging on hardware makes you approach things from an entirely different angle.
i love it, its so minimal!

oh, the two newer electribes, the mx and the sx, as well as a few mixers, some turntables, the usual DJ stuff.
