If you have the $ and it doesn't include debt.
Go for it.
Credit cards are a bane.

Sometimes I have the money. Often, I wait for one of those 'no interest for 3/4 year' things from Sweetwater or Musician's Friend, then do that and pay it off in a year. I have money in the bank, but that's for emergencies, not fun. And that would certainly incur the wrath of the wifey.

...and then I've been looking at the Moog desktop units - DFAM, Mother32 and the like. I hear such mixed things with these, but feel like I might want to go down the rabbit hole. But again, those seem like reasonable time investments will be needed to learn how to control them deliberately and adding more things that I need to invest it is probably a bad idea.

I love my "Mother 32 ecosystem" (M32, DFAM, and Subharmonicon) but it definitely is a time sink learning and working with all the options with the patchbays etc. I find it easier to use it as a foundation to start the writing/sound design process rather than trying to incorporate it into pieces I've already put together - YMMV and that's just my process.

Ian's Sound Study is what did it for me....not really a phaser....seems to be something quite different. I love it.

That one was interesting.


Dammit.

Edit: someone take a Dolorean and go back to when I was a young idiot that didnt want to learn to play with and pick and kick my @$$ please!!!!!

hey,

so been a while. many interesting things to write about.

dweller: sounds interesting on guitar. i wonder how much of that comes through in lower frequencies—and how it is useful for *us* . . . . thoughts?

I only ordered the one, since it can swap firmware
... and not yet.

My quarantine GAS is fully out of control. It doesn't help that I sold a bunch of old hobby knick knacks and have a nice sized fun money budget. I have been bringing in so much new stuff before quarantine and since that I need to just chill and explore what I have. The big challenge as I see it, is that it is easy to spend to time browsing stuff (especially during the work day or from a phone) when you are in a position that you can't be playing so more time is invested in digital browsing than hands on keys/strings/knobs, plus we watch these demos that usually sound great and then start getting that warm feeling of wanting to make those sounds ourselves. When browsing, you tend to see great deals or come across limited releases that you feel you can't pass up also.

My short list is:
- Moffenzeef Modular - stargazer (most likely going to move on one)
- Moffenzeef Modular - intensifie (most likely going to move on one)
- checking out more hyped fuzzes that are universally loved
- other desktop noise synths/etc

...and then I've been looking at the Moog desktop units - DFAM, Mother32 and the like. I hear such mixed things with these, but feel like I might want to go down the rabbit hole. But again, those seem like reasonable time investments will be needed to learn how to control them deliberately and adding more things that I need to invest it is probably a bad idea.

My short list is:
THIS IS NOW INCOMING - Moffenzeef Modular - stargazer (most likely going to move on one)
THIS IS NOW INCOMING - Moffenzeef Modular - intensifies (most likely going to move on one)
- checking out more hyped fuzzes that are universally loved
- other desktop noise synths/etc


I am a SLAVE to GAS

All made with SP404sx. No computer, no daw.
Just for fun beats. Still workin in it.
Still have to put in lots of time and practice.

Cheers. (also posted in feedback friday thread)
Sharing kicks my @$$ to keep pumping out some stuff.
Might not all be good, but at least work is getting done.

I like the vinyl record sounds, is that intentional or just happy accident? Where does that come from?
