We interrupt this wall-punching to bring you something absolutely ridiculous.

how did the experiment with the gating on the overdrive unit go?

Solved the problem, completely. Went in and just took it off of whatever presets had it. Now it sounds normal. Thanks.

Life is not fair. I think my new EADGCF string set for my CB bass is coming on the same day that the Miezo is coming. Should I just not plan on sleeping?

Then I must be related, as I'm an insomniac and often spend 11pm to 2am in my studio. Most nights.

Actually been really psyched how, in the last month, I'm gravitating more to the bass and the pedalboard than the synthy toys, as, over the winter, that hasn't been the case. Prob just a bit burned out on the synths. I'm even (SHOCK) playing old-school bass without the pedalboard. Gotta get my groove sharp for when the gigs come back. I really love my EBMM. Gave that and the Wal a lot of love, this week.

Awesome to hear that. Keep it up.

Me, still working on my weirdo tape ,sampler, pedal musique concrète thingy......got some stuff recorded.
Still alot of work to be done. Found a few awesome hacks with the sampler along the way though....that's cool.

Also did some tracks for the band but the drummer is still playing computer games I think.

Any new sound clips of the huge bass and board thing??

Re: sleep
Same, I've been sleeping like crap for over 2 years know, it's literally non stop nightmares almost every night.
But hey, we all have crap to deal with.

I do gotta get some sound clips up. I had this MASSIVE pad sound last night that floored me. I'm really getting to the point where I get a lot of things out of the board that sound like complex polysynth sounds, which is my big thing.

This is beautiful. I just had this discussion yesterday with a friend. You've put it poetically.

So true.

Sometimes we smash stuff with sledge hammer with a contact mic taped to it.

survival research laboratories, perhaps?

Umm...
Makin split pea soup while watching an Octatrack tutorial and getting dressed for a mountain bike ride. Oh! Also have to stop at the bank on my way. It’s Tuesday. The weather is nice. Bought a new shirt. Mesa TT800 arrives tomorrow. People are arguing about politics on the internet. The Autechre Sign record is occasionally a bit dull, but the good stuff is amazing. Monster is thinking of buying more gear.
Crap, that’s all I got

 

[steubig]

thanks. got me through it.

OTO machines BAM is still impressing me. I recorded a few scratch ideas of software synth sounds into the BAM and then back into Ableton. It works to bring some life to the end result. Not sure how it will work when/if I layer more than two sounds with reverb.
