EURORACK 808 ..
- god how many more 808s does the world need.fadein11
- if it's analogue - we do need itinteliboy
- don't get me wrong I love the 808, pretty much every track I have ever made uses some 808 sounds but god - talk about milking a classic. You will never get thefadein11
- original 808 sound unless you buy an original one. The nuances just won't exist in new versions. But to think your listeners will notice the difference is alsofadein11
- silly.fadein11
- find this 'everything in eurorack' vibe nuts too - there should be a < 20HP limit or sthg.kingsteven
- @fade, the Tip-Top line of 808 modules are really nice. I have the hi-hats and they're spot on. Also, og 808's ALL sounded a little different due tosection_014
- really loose (by today's standards) tolerances on electrical components. But a whole unit like this in euro is kinda dumb.section_014

Trying to figure out a good way to play live without a laptop... and not a DJ set either...
Cutting up tracks and putting on a sampler seems right...
MPC1000?
- I have a live thin coming up soon also - have been racking my brains for best way of doing it as I am 100% logic - this is where ableton would be useful I know.fadein11
- let us know what you decide on please.fadein11
- Electron OctatrackJackson_Polyp
- yeah octatrack.. i bounce all my tracks out as stems pretty much.. 4 stems for each track, so each pattern can have 2 songs for mixing..autoflavour
- Octatrack, MPCs are daft if you're not finger drumming or driving a shit load of other gear off it.kingsteven
- i throw a 303 in there for some live elements.. but yep,. havent played with a laptop in years.. its awesome.autoflavour
- thanks guys - perfect will look into it!inteliboy
- IPad shuffle, ala Dan deacon.monNom
- MPC Live (new one) or Octatrack. If you go mpc1k get JJOS...but I'd recommend MPC Live if you're thinking MPC.sublocked

sadly i sold the virus snow.. and yet to feel proficient enough with the Analog4 to bring it live.. but yep.. one day..
- but yep, can rock at least 90 minutes with this setupautoflavour
- epic. I'm convinced. love the idea of having a "set" play & able to jam synth hardware on top.inteliboy
- yeah its pretty fun.. total rabbit hole tho.. i was for a while sequencing my visuals out of the octatrack also.. but it very quickly became waaaay too muchautoflavour
- endless variables, endless possibilities.. definitely pretty dope tho.. Elektron OT is a beastautoflavour

Free DX7 Plugin:
https://asb2m10.github.io/dexed/…
Some of you probably know about this already. I'm very impressed with it. Honestly didn't expect much, but the sounds are spot on. It can load and create DX7 patches too.

Just found out an EP a friend and I have been working on for a while has got signed to a really nice label and will be out on vinyl. My first release on vinyl, only released on digital before. Super excited. Still love physical objects. Out early May :)
- sweet!kingsteven
- also, somone downvoted this?!kingsteven
- I am disliked around here because I rant a little too often. It's okay. I don't get upset by downvotes.fadein11
- Nice one!section_014
- Nice one, congrats.
Who's doing the cover?******** - I really wanted to design it but the label have their thing and that's fine - it's really nice stuff.fadein11

- nice one! how did you get the new EP 'discovered' by the label?microkorg
- I've had a few releases and my friend has had loads and DJ's a lot so has good connections so we sent to a few labels we liked.fadein11
- Bloody awesome! I need to get my head down and make some new music rather than lusting over gear and watching ebay/forums for gear for sale.microkorg

GFY******** - yep sounded silly - but you know it's nice holding your own real record rather than having digital files - you know what I mean?fadein11
- super happy for you fadein, congrats mate!BuddhaHat
- Aye, sorry I didn't congratulate you on this yesterday, you cunt — let us know when it's on YouTube and we can have a listen! Shame you didn't do the artwork...detritus
- ...or, even better, outsourced it to set..!detritus
- Thanks buddha & det :)fadein11
- Congrats. Btw vinyl takes a minimum of 3 months to manufacture and there is only one vinyl press on the US no longer taking clients.shellie
- The rest of the companies state side who do it actually sub out to manufacturers in eastern europe. Just figured that out a a few years ago.shellie
- Fadein is in the UK and we have loads of vinyl press companies here - indeed, more records are sold these days than since the early 90sdetritus
- Wow thats really bad shel. What @det said over here. Labours of lovefadein11
- @most vinyl sold is big record companies doing nostalgic repressing but its still alive and kicking in the clubs. Im not hung up on format thoughfadein11
- Nice to have 1 thoughfadein11
- damn, mad props .. seriously, worth itautoflavour
- There are very few pressing plants in the UK detritus, A lot of resellers for GZ in CZ and they really can't cope. Best to go to France or Ger.kingsteven

Universal Audio release OTO Biscuit
http://www.uaudio.com/uad-plugin…
Pretty pricey. Mind you the original harware was pricey itself.
Bit puzzled as to what UAD-2 hardware is though?
I take it you have to have UA's equipment to run this plugin?- yup, need a UAD-2 box, their pricing is nuts but there's deals and bundles if you look around.kingsteven
- still the best sounding plugins around but think they'll need to sort it out with slate/waves/eventide going subscriptionkingsteven
- ah i see what it is now. the box takes all audio processing burdons away from comp.
Do you install all plugins on this box? or in comp?microkorg - it's stored on your hard drive but runs on the box & you can stack the boxes for more plugins... all the plugins are in the software as 30 day trials...kingsteven
- ...and thats how they get you...kingsteven
- seems like a super expensive system, they'd have more take up with a clearer free system.fruitsalad
- 'fee' not free, thought that would be generous of them.fruitsalad
- @fruitsald - it's aimed at the pro marketfadein11
- I've almost been sucked into the UAD thing a few times. Shit like a culture vulture or massive passive for a fraction of the price.section_014
- Ultimately, most reviews/forums say it's not quite there.section_014
- same but started working with a couple of producers and in studios with UAD and got fed up bouncing to move sessions about...kingsteven
- but i have to say, i have a couple waves bundles and it's shocking how poor they sound in comparison. it's new folks like slate and soundradix in competition.kingsteven
- Waves mostly sucks, but their API series is nice, imo. I use the 2500 and 560 all the time. 2500 is great on guitars.section_014
- Man, you've got to try the UAD 2500, couldn't believe it... haven't opened the Waves since. Still use J37, varispeed and plate a lot...kingsteven
- fruitsalad0
Regarding OTO Biscuit,
it mentions in the video it bit crushes, distorts, delays, pitch shifts, filters...
Well, so does Renoise with it's inbuilt DSPs for a fraction of he cost:
And you can link them all up to Hydra or other Meta devices to control them with 1 slider and roll them all into 1 effect as you wish.
- + lots of other plugins / DAW's.section_014
- totally, but UAD hasn't just installed a 30 day trial of this on every pro producer/mixer/studi... hard drive... and i bet if you had both the UAD is better.kingsteven
- Renoise doesn't have an analog filter. As a Biscuit owner I'll say nothing on the computer comes close.sublocked
- ...and I have ALL the bitcrusher plugins.sublocked
