Suffering, here I come.

I'm planning on dual-booting Windows 8.1 and doing music stuff there; music production on Linux is a humiliation ritual I can stand no longer.

Yes, I'm diagnosed with ADHD, how did you know?

>>108240234
What do u use it for apart from acid bass?

>>108240307
It's something to experiment with for me.
The "suffering" is starting to use the CV ins, we'll hear how that goes.

So, one day, when I had some money left over, buying a hardware 303 clone seemed like the right thing to do.

Here's the noise level compared to the signal, which still could be higher.
A roughly 100db distance seems fine, right?

Yeah, could have made a screenshot, but I was...busy.
It runs over this, also Behringer, so I expected worse.

I also have a Traktor 10 if I want to be more autistic with recording quality.
Btw, that: >>108240589 is under the table to the right here: >>108240298
On top is the 303, and on that is a tablet with remote control for the mixer.
Which is neat.

I can plug in an electric guitar, or record something acoustic, regular guitar, whatever.
For when friends are over.
The APC64 allows for some flexibility with Live. I just start building shit, great fun.

It also has 8 CV outs...for some reason.
So, hooking it up with the 303 seems like a thing to do.
A complicated thing.
But I can control them from Live, might be interesting.

I worked in stuff like electrical engineering, so I could build an interface myself.
But, there's so much stuff to do...

The 303 can go pretty high, and pretend to be some kind of regular synth.

thoughts on garageband?

>>108241502
it's essentially logic pro lite. it's fine, gets the job done.

>>108241523
if I want to make trance/techno, should I start with garageband? I don't have any prior experience with daw

I have been writing music for a long time, but with a piano roll. I would like to get into composing with trackers as there are so many portable ones (picotracker, m8, LSDJ, etc) but I struggle with the workflow. For those of you that do both or have moved from piano roll to tracker, what helped you smooth through the transition? The biggest thing I struggle with is writing beyond a phrase. Like with a piano roll, I can see so far ahead and look at my entire melody as a whole. With a tracker phrase, I get 16 lines, and I struggle. Thanks for any help, anons.

tbf the joke kinda was that it's useful outside of bass.

The projector is up for shit and giggles.
It's currently just running videos from festivals.
To motivate me to keep my eyes open.

I also forgot how good it can look.

>>108245668
>I also forgot how good it can look.
Keep in mind that people attending psytrance festivals are quite good looking.
It's mostly like average and up.
Which is weird AF.

>>108243128
why are you switching. you just have to start thinking up and down instead of left and right lol

>>108245668
you should look into jitter from max/msp, you can do cool audioreactive stuff with the video you project

Well, it's also very frowned upon to hit, say, on women, in classical ways there.
You can't do that.
Ok, you can, but nobody will like it.
The accepted way is to connect it with dancing. Or, alternatively, be talkative at resting spots where people hang out.
>>108245825
Thanks, I'm so old, Geiss used to be a thing.

>>108245878
Women also will absolutely go topless, you can see a lot of bouncing boobs on a hot summer day.
But you are expected to be able to keep your horniness under control.
It's just boobs.

>>108245878
yeah i know. you are probably publically shamed if you try to hit on a woman in that environemtn nevermind touching her. whereas back in the day, it was somewhat normal to just grind on a random girl in a dark seedy club. sigh, the good old days

>>108245967
>just grind on a random girl in a dark seedy club.
Yeah, but a dark seedy club and an open air psytrance festival are two pretty different things.

You can still do the seedy club thing probably too.
>publically shamed
The info that this is the guy hitting awkwardly on everything looking loosely female gets around quick indeed,
You'll just get negative answers though...but maybe some even would be into it. Hmmm.
But, the info goes around, yes.

>>108246004
>But, the info goes around, yes.
You'll not be stopped unless you get too physical of course.
If that's your comfort zone, well, so be it.

I'm lighting a fire on my madness.

My only requirement to you is that you at least try to get better.

You may also ask for stuff of mine.
Which you did not.
That's not healthy, mentally.

I have little knowledge about the green goblin thing, but it sure sounds like it.
Is this a in joke?

If you're trying to respond to this, you likely will run into some complications.

it does sound goblin though.

It's decent fun to dance when the firefighters are on duty.

>>108246900
The whole dance floor there in the back.
It has installed a sprinkler system.
Yes, it does.

It runs when it's hot an the sun is shining.
Mainly because it's hot.
Hah.

>>108247157
which means you don't even have to wait a whole hour, 3600s, to the spot that I linked.
This could be much worse.
Couldn't it?

Now you may slowly shift your attention towards finding obese people in that vid.

There's also split seconds of bare tits in it.

But a 303 clone...much better.
All the right angles you want. But if you're into other stuff, they have round knobs!
Anyaways, fuck you!
Explain.

Working on a song for the next album here is a valid excuse though.
Always wanted to do some d&b.

any advice for making my melodies less "stock?" its hard to explain but maybe because chords and melody lines seem to fall in predictable places, things tend to feel a little more like a backing track and less like original music.

Well, if you build on what everyone else does, that would be the expected result.
You don't have to adhere to those rules.
Innovation comes from trying new shit.

Scales, who needs them?
Who even comes up with that shit?
Which is a fair and interesting question actually.

I'm designing furniture to build this compact setup, going to be fun

>>108248293
Are they the same size IRL or just in pixels?
Not that I don't encourage this.

>>108248104
listen to more music. keep rolling the dice aka writing melodies, eventually one will be good

>>108248317
almost the same size, I will compensate any difference with some gaps here and there but it's pretty much like this.

>>108248293
i saw that they announced the mk2 of the keystep today, not sure if you knew

>>108248329
I see. Don't forget all the connections.
I keep my gear as loose as possible actually.

>>108248331
I already have the original, also I don't like the new design, look a bit apple gay-ish and the features are for musiclets anyway so no reason to upgrade.

>>108248346
cool thing about volcas they have all connections in front

>>108248358
So it seems!
I'm up there, noticing that my behringer mixer is not as noisy as one would perhaps expect:

>I used to vinyl dj back in the days. Fucking noise and fucking vinyl.
In retrospective, the strengths of vinyl, for a dj, were haptics and optics.
It's nice to touch and work with when you're mixing. You can see how the song is structured, breaks and such.
A bit ironic for a sound medium of course.

So I can start building a song live, I can route all the new elements to my headphones first until they're ready, then they go on the main out.
Neat.
Really, really neat.
