Still using 808?

All that gear is for the visual aesthetic really, it can all be sampled or emulated as has been said over and over but at least he can sell that 808 to another hipster when he has to kit out a nursery.

pretty cool man

y u hatin guyz?

Not hating, pointing out the obvious, sorry to piss on chips.

sounds he made sounded good to me don't really care how he made them

This badboy is all you need tbh

i dunno man, the way you go about using the hardware is very different to if you emulate it - so the end result is normally pretty different

when i've played on drum machines i find u create much cooler rhythms n ideas than you would do in your daw

i want some hardware shit so bad

Nah there are these things called midi controllers that you can map to any parameter in software, knobs emulate knobs, sliders emulate sliders, all of that software and controllers still cost less than one 808 or one 303. Hardware is cool but lets be honest spending silly money on a drum machine from the 80s that makes less than 20 sounds, all that can be found in all music software kinda makes you a hipster.

Sounds like universal indicator from 20 years ago...

yeah id never spend that much money irl, its a joke. but i can dream

Happily ignoring the live performance abilities offered by using that set up rather than being on a computer...

Personally as someone who grew up playing a physical musical instrument before moving to computer music the ability to have actual hardware that you can play without being on a computer screen or using a midi controller (which won't be the same as using the 808/303 etc. as they all have different designs to each other and using a controller which is not designed specifically for programming each instrument in the way their actual interfaces is isn't the same) makes a massive difference. I mean the differences between how you are approaching creating the music makes great impacts to the music you make. Music isn't some conscious "I'm going to make this sort of thing" situation, you're being shaped hugely by the physical process of it all. It's a feedback type situation where the composer is being guided by what they are using. Add on then the idiomatic writing carried out by someone writing with a built up knowledge of what their set up allows them to do...

Oh yeah and I'm sure that there's plenty software emulations of a circuit bent fisher price steering wheel.

Seriously it's a completely different way of making music. Live electronic music benefits vastly from having a load of different instruments to play with. People don't buy hardware to show off. You sound either young, ignorant or jealous saying such ridiculous things.

No it doesn't it makes you someone who wants to use a different working method and possibly work within limitations or the designs of the specific instrument.

Using say and mpc style pad with 808 samples will make you program a different type of beat to using the 808's sequencer and interface. It's like if I was to write a melody on my guitar vs writing it on a keyboard.

#green imo

big up the coconuts.

Now that's a live set.

I'm looking at pretty much the exacts same stuff, except instead of the 808 a Machinedrum.
Maybe smaller Mackie desk.

Everyone knows hipsters only use NI and macbooks.

He is famous for his 808 riddled tracks, probably has wanted one for half his life, and finally is getting paid money for his tracks+performances... he would be dumb to pass up the opportunity to get the gear when it makes the most sense in his career. It also sets him apart further from the controller crowd who started to copy his tunes.

But is he wearing Lonsdale? He looks like 10 or 15 gabbers I used to hang out with in 2001.
