Cool yo, I haven't seen a lot of that stuff. That MIDI splitter on there is a decent price actually.

@the hardware crew: So, I haven't been keeping up. What is your setup like these days? Have you got any recordings off your hardware rig? I just rearranged my studio for a summer of doing hardware heavy, live-ish recordings with Maschine as the nerve center. Started making gnarly techno out of nowhere...

Have had that experience with maschine.

Octatrack, 707, minitaur and poly 800 atm.. (And some other stuff from my room mate ms20, rhodes & juno6)
I use it mainly live, for producing I'm still relying heavily on my ableton 'everywhere-you-go' studio. But gonna make a cool set up with a patchbay & mixing desk and stuff... & I hope to get a little bit away from ableton.

Probably gonna midi sync everything to each other, ableton included with the octatrack as the main thing to work on. While octatrack is midi synced with ableton record some cool passages or loops, maybe some synths in ableton. Extra editing to some sounds who need more than the good old octatrack effects.
Just the perfect set-up between ableton's session view & the octatrack (+ the 707/moog & poly controlled by the octatrack offcourse)

Very nice. That Ableton + Octatrack nerve center sounds like the way to go. Nice setup with just yer own gear there, borrowing from the roomy sounds pretty nice with those pieces of gear. How do you like the 707? Don't ever hear much about most of the "other" TR boxes.

The 707 is the best live drum there is... it's raw , it cuts thru the mix & the volume faders are heaven in a live set up + the awesome tr way to sequence.

But it's not more than that, you have to love the sounds & even if you love him, you'll have to sculp them. For studio purposes it really is far too raw imo. But all the sounds have their own outputs, so you can eq them/put reverbs on it/...
I love it, it's probably the coolest thing I have in my live setup!

Right on man. I have always wanted to try one of the TR drum machines just for the hell of it. Trying to find a balance between price and features with 808s and 909s are thousands of dollars...

I love my 707. The first time I put it on and pressed the kick button, I got the biggest fucking grin on my face

societyloser1 · Post by **societyloser1** » Thu May 15, 2014 11:03 pm

I always send the kick drum to my mixer and boost the low frequency's to the max.. Suddenly that lame ass kick drum, becomes one of the baddest kick's in the world!

Wub, those czechs are slow?

I know it is kind of ridiculous since I am already using GB samples in Maschine...but I have been processing my kicks on my SoundCraft lately as well.

Machinedrum, monomachine, octatrack, analog 4, analog RYTM, ms20(vintage), modular. The elektrons drive everything, ableton used for recording/editing only pretty much. 48 hardware tracks in all

If I had the funds I'd be all over a full on Elektron setup ;p That is an extra sexy setup

Dutty,

I would love all of them, but the machinedrum is calling me at the moment, got plenty of phat analogue now.
