  • I’ve been eying pigments. They might just win me over now. I’m a huge fan of their V Collection.

  • I’ve been working on some live visualisations to make my time in the studio even more fun.

  • Pipewire 0.3.76 released!

  • I've used it with multiple 18i20s at the same time!

    Thanks to PipeWire (or jack) you're not even limited to a single audio interface. Though for proper recording work you'll probably want to use a single interface so that you have a single clock.

  • Man! that little thing sounds huge

  • Fun! Feel free to share things. Maybe we have some tips 😊

  • Oh I’m not doubting that I’ll improve from practice. I’m wondering if there’s any sense in getting regular lessons.

    Edit: hold on, I just read your message again 😅

  • I've been practicing piano and drums a lot. As a kid I used to be an instrumentalist (and played a bunch of different instruments in bands). Lately I haven't performed anything. To be fair, my current music is better, but I think I miss the pride in being able to perform something right then and there.

    So I am now working on a routine practicing piano and drums almost daily. I'm considering getting lessons again, but not sure how much that would help a 29 year old.

    Oh and I have been trying to sell some stuff. I've got a Drumbrute Impact and an MPC Live II left. Not getting much interest in those sadly.

  • I feel you. I've spent more money on synths than would be healthy. I've bought and sold the same synth multiple times. The new and shiny thing is always so attractive...

    I've yet to find a solution. What helped me temporarily is forcing myself to make music. I am ha hobbyist, not a professional. So I don't put a value on my time making music. Me making music IS the value.

    So what I did for a while (until I got too busy to pick them up) was make music for people who needed it and release that music into the public domain. Kinda like open source music. I got a few people who were making documentaries, videogames, video stories, and the like. It was good to have someone you'd disappoint if you didn't make them a full track. I drove me to actually get the music done.

    But when I got too busy, I shut down the website.

  • @Shadowbait@waveform.social I have an idea that might help people like us: a little bit of healthy pressure.

    What if we host a weekly “song in a day” challenge. Once a week we’ll post a description of a vibe. Then everyone will have 24 hours to turn that vibe into a full song. This means no time for endless loops or tuning sound design. Just song composition.

  • Synth Treehouse // Weekly Discussion - July 21, 2023

  • No I feel absolutely the same! I use Ableton Live as my primary daw but rarely ever touch session view. Straight to arrangement. In my case, a song evolves as I am writing it. And when you make changes in arrangement view you make a change in one place. It doesn’t change every copy-paste of a clip. This feel more like it inspires change to me.

    Of course everyone has their own flow and I’m just a hobbyist but yeah. This is the reason I went back into the DAW. Hardware is a ton of fun but actually making music was harder for me.

    I’m sure you can break through that block. It just takes more discipline and practice. Practicing small loops is quick. Only takes about 10 minutes to make a loop and if you repeat it long enough it’ll always sound right. That’s why ostinato have always been popular. To practice making songs you need to finish songs… takes a while.

    I got the Aiaiai TMA-2 STUDIO WIRELESS+ headphone and here's what I think

  • It’s a 3D puzzle platformer set in a utopian dream world. Which is musically very interesting because every world has an entirely different vibe.

  • Synth Treehouse // Weekly Discussion - July 14, 2023

  • Because it’s fun? 🤷‍♂️ to me it’s both a moment to say fuck it to the world and isolate myself to recharge as well as a way to help people by making music for their projects to elevate them.

  • Korg takes its popular Gadget app into the virtual reality (VR), now available

  • I haven’t played the switch version but I’m guessing it is a direct port. Since the UI would feel a lot more “native” to the Nintendo Switch where button combinations and navigation are probably the most natural setup.

  • Korg takes its popular Gadget app into the virtual reality (VR), now available

  • I tried it and it’s underwhelming to me. The UI is really clunky and other than the visuals there is no use to the VR setup at all.

    They are fun instruments though but without automation and many button based menus, I can’t recommend.

  • Ah that’s so sad. I really like the idea of it a lot. It’s so mesmerising

  • How do you store and/or organize your audio cables?

  • Rolled up and bound with cable ties. I’ve got a drawer per category: audio, data, power.

    If I can I roll them so that each connector is at the same end. That way I know exactly what cable I’m picking up.
