 Coolness: 76695 | Scott's right about a lot of people (though probably a lot less than 99%) not using their expensive external gear. It's like getting fancy rims or something. Everyone loves listing all their equipment like it gives them credentials or like the chicks will go "OOOOOH HE'S GOT A ROLAND JP 8000" (which btw is a totally lame synth, sorry...). Thing is, you can't plug it all in at once, unless you have your own transformer, and you're probably buying new gear because you haven't figured out the old stuff yet. If it's classic gear, it tends to be nicely limited and means that it's got a particular sound. That's why I like my Juno 106 (didn't get the JUMO lol), it's not complex and it's not full of presets, so you have to actually figure out how to create sounds to make it work, and does it ever. Simple subtractive synthesis. Easy as hell. Nicest basses ever.
I personally think the best method is to record a whole big library of samples and divide things up by timbre, so whether you even own the gear to me seems irrelevant. Rentals are a good idea, you can get used to a machine for a weekend, record a few things off of them, use them in tracks. You can only have so many sounds in every frequency range, so if you're running seventy vintage drum machines at once all you'll hear is a swamp anyway. However it is nice to switch up your gear. If you're already getting paid for your music and that's why you have all the gear more power to you. If you've just somehow got thousands of dollars to spend (how? how? how?) you're a lucky bastard - and you probably aren't in credit hell like myself. Otherwise it's honestly a big cockblocking competitive ego game, and I know because I have so many friends who buy gear regularly but don't know what the fuck to do with it. They get something new and complex before they've even figured out what they want to do with it in the first place. Don't be a random consumer, people! Choose your gear wisely! I started out on Impulse Tracker, so I still think in terms of polished samples and bounced audio. What I actually use is my MacBook Pro running Ableton Live, as well as a PC with totally irrelevant specs for running a slew of VSTS to be bounced to audio. I use so many different programs it's not funny but I'll try to summarize: Max/MSP 4.5 Reaktor 5 Renoise (really good for fast sample switching - keep the same rhythm, change the sound) Fruity Loops 6 Studio Sound Forge 8 Ableton Live 6.02 on the PC, 5.2 on the Mac (paid for) with, to name a few VSTS: Audiorealism Bassline Pro Battery 3 Absynth 3 & 4 Rob Papen's Blue NI's Synthetic Drums, vol 1 and 2 dBlue Glitch *kicks fucking ass* Toad and Peach (nintendo sounds) The Ohmforce collection, with Ohmboyz, Hematohm, Predatohm etc. The Izotope mastering suite *essential*: Spectron, Ozone, Trash Camel Audio's CamelPhat and CamelSpace Amplitube ... and more. Evolution X-session controller M-Audio Quattro Edirol FA-66 No monitors :( Crappy mixer :( It happens. I still seem to be able to write with this setup, but I wish I didn't have to go to other people's houses to master. I would of course kill for the new Nordleads, a Moog Voyager, a Moogerfooger, and an AKAI MC 2000, and I'd love to have a Harman Neuron one day (only $7000) as well as the Eventide Orville (another $7000). I also need to find me some good monitors and a mixer, as mentioned above. Electronic music always reduces down to running samples or loops or bounced audio tracks at some level, so really, the gear is extraneous to the montage editor. And I wouldn't say that Acid is tailored specifically to breaks/drum and bass sounds, nor that Ableton is all techno, nor that Renoise is all breakcore. Everybody approaches music differently, so to get into a whole debate about software vs. hardware is really just pointless. What difference does it make? Why do people make such broad generalizations? Hardware is better for performance, but in the studio you need software. You need to see your tracks in front of you, a timeline, a mixer. Plus you need a place to record to. So I can't really understand the idea of it being a dichotomy. You need a bit of both. |

I know the machine is the original 303, but its not in its original state. It has been modified, and I was just wondering what modification he did on it...  |
