Lol at what Stu said.

It's fucking 30c here in late October. We're literally approaching 10 months of summer now.I was considering solar panels on the house and getting a Tesla Battery wall but it tops out $40k and it would take me 15 years of savings to recoup the initial investment.

I really should though given how much sun we get.

Originally posted by DJDIRTY Hi. Yes I'am, as well as the Virus. With the virus I use it as a vst plugin, but when recording I like to switch it into stereo out instead of the usb out. Plus I can run anything thrue the hardware eq or the hardware compressor or both at any time, since they are hooked up as a vst plugins in cubase. And than any other combination of plugins.. I could also rewire the big sky to be used on any software vsti if i like. It takes like 10 seconds.. I do not have a patchbay - don't want one.. so I have to physically remove one set of cables.. Ohh and I find myself just playing for hours thru the big sky.. I have VALHALLA SHIMMER plugin, which is simmilar to big sky. Well in a way.. But big sky it's just magic on synths..

Just been watching Peter Dyer on the Bluesky on Youtube, wow

Just wanted to add that I've just replaced my audio interface, It will be here within a week or so.. Upgrading to analog 8inn - 8out, that solves the problem of pluging and unpluging cables when trying to use the big sky on my software synthesizers or audio tracks. It's going to be all within a click of a button. So basically all the hardware units are available as hardware plugins inside of cubase.

My little setup

tidy! ^^

Nice little setup you got there!

Seriously, even since I got a laptop which has a backlit keyboard, I have no idea how I would ever survive again without one.

Love the clock - I saw the online a few weeks back and wanted to make one with my laser cutter but can't (cutting vinyl with a laser releases chloride gas with is fatal to both my laser and humans).

Thx xD. I got the clock from an old man in the city of Brașov. He said that he cut it with a laser . So far it is my favourite piece of "gear" since it represents 2 things I like so much, music and that city where I got it from ^^.
P.S. You can always ask a romanian to do a dangerous job haha!

I finally got monitors... a pair of Yamaha HS7's. I've been using Sony MDR-7506 headphones all this time. I have Behringer Truths in the other room with my turntables/mixer but one of the Behringer amps died around 7 years ago. I was torn between continuing to use headphones and get a Sub Phatty instead, I've wanted a Phatty for ever since the Little Phatty came out, or to finally get monitors. I don't have any room for another synth so that made the choice easier.

My wife bought me a Moog Sub Phatty yesterday. Personally I love the sound of the Phattys more than vintage Moogs. I'd been wanting one ever since I first came across the Little Phatty Stage II several years ago. I wanted a Little Phatty or Slim Phatty but then the Sub Phatty came out and that one caught my eye even more, the sub oscillator and the knob-per-function layout (minus the hidden features). It sounds really great in combination with the Virus.

The only thing that kinda sucks is that I ran out of space in my desk area, so I had to replace the JP8000 with the Sub Phatty and put the JP8000 in our guest bedroom with my turntables/mixer/etc. I was hoping to find some type of really short keyboard stand so I can put the JP8000 underneath the table's surface where the Sub Phatty is. Does anyone know where I can find one that short - a stand that's only 15" tall?

Very cool

What about if you put the JP back where it was and put a shelf on the wall above it. That way you could squeeze in a couple of Elektron boxes too.......

Tell your wife that you need a bigger studio now because she keeps buying all these goddamn synths.

Thanks, that's actually a really good idea! About the Elektron boxes... I like your style

LOL! I actually told her I'd be ok with selling the JP to make room for the Sub Phatty. She said she definitely doesn't want me to get rid of the JP. She's a huge fan of late 90's / early 00's cheese like Ian Van Dahl but she also likes Rank 1 and proper trance. She's aware of the JP being at the center of all those favorite songs of hers from that time period. Sometimes I'll play an Ian Van Dahl or 4 Strings melody for her on the JP, I think that's what made her such a fan of it. I use the Virus for pretty much everything, I haven't used the JP in a song in awhile. I mainly just use it for fun and nostalgia.

She has good taste in cheese.

You should marry that one


Oh wait.....

this is just a quick heads up. last year i looked everywhere for a corner desk for production. my first stop was Ikea which is downtown, only a few miles away but i didn't find much there. imo Wayfair had alot of worthwhile desks, especially different L-shaped ad U-shaped corner desks. just be sure to check your measurements since it's an online order. i'm not sure if they ship large products internationally, outside of america though.

Shush ok


Shush

dreadbox are they synths? never heard of them before, im assuming analog mono?

congrats! i'd never heard of a dreadbox erebus before so i had to check out a couple youtube videos, it sounds really nice. i'm kind of confused though, i skimmed the sonicstate video for it and i thought he said it can have 2 voices but in this video, the guy plays triads at 15:56
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRgWO-rrRh8

Yeah Dreadbox are (wait for it....) a Greek synth company.

I've been watching them for a couple of months now but always thought they sounded fantastic. Build quality is very good. Metal case with Moog quality knobs (no wobble at all) and wooden end cheeks.

I've bought the Hades as well which is a bass synth, but I'm not sure if I'm going to keep that or not yet.

I'll do a couple of sequences with the Analog 4 and see how I feel.

In that video it looks like he has the Minibrute playing one of the notes as the Erebus is definitely two note paraphonic. There is no third oscillator for sure.

oh ok i gotcha, it's has 2 oscillators and is monophonic or duophonic if you use divide-down. it sounds really good, i love hearing demos of obscure synths like that, to hear their unique character/timbre.


I'm curious to hear your opinion on the Analog 4. i mean the sound speaks for itself but I've heard multiple people mention a rather difficult learning curve, that it sometimes deters them from using it as much as they'd like. but then when they do use it again, they're reminded how "worth it" it is to not be intimidated and just use it. i guess the Analog 4 has its own workflow that must be different from what everyone is used to. I've never had the privilege to play one. is its step sequencer difficult or more complicated than a typical step sequencer? or is it something else about the Analog 4 or Elektron boxes in general that make people say it has a difficult learning curve?

congrats on the new gear!

Well first thing I'd say is that the Analog 4 sounds awesome. I've read plenty of comments online about how it lacks character but that's just bollocks. It doesn't sound the same as a 30 year old analogue synth does, but who gives a crap? Oddly, what it reminds me of most is a Virus. It just has a very nice, organic quality to it.

The UI is complicated, but no more so that any other complicated synth. If anything I'd say it's easier to use than a Virus (for example). It's very logical in its layout.

I think people have issue with it because the way the Elektron machines work is fairly unique. I haven't fully got to grips with the sequencer yet, but I also understand that there will be a learning curve. Because it doesn't work like any other product and because people aren't used to that they make an assumption that it's complicated to learn because it can do complicated things when it's really not. It just takes a few days commitment.

Swedish, oh, pair joke

^ I want.



Messy.

Hmmm, looks like a hardware hoarder

lol

I generally use all my machines, and the CD decks and mixer below I couldn't find extra space for (I hardly use them) so just left them there...
