  1. Watched Touching the Void for the first time last night. It's a documentary/recreation of a mountain climber's incredible fight for survival in circumstances that would make most grown men just close their eyes and beg for the long sleep. It was reeeealy fucking great. 

  2. I've gone through at least eight different studio "set ups", each one involving selling almost all my gear and buying new shit (also changing genres often), and honetly my favorite tunes all came from very minimal setups. I definitely get a little overwhelmed by too many options. Having to get creative in order to make sounds often results in happy accidents. My GAS has decreased significantly with age and having to be an adult with money. 

     

    That said, turning knobs and pushing buttons to make bleep bloops on shiny new toys is the tits. 

  3. Yeah, I used to own an Octatrack but never gelled with it. I realize a statement like that is probably heresy around here. I found that, if I'm in the studio, I just find it much easier to work with midi and a cmputer. That's why I'm looking for something portable. Got all I need for the studio. 

  4.  

    Someone talk me out of buying the op-1, please!

    Do you like how it sounds? I don't.

     

    Sometimes...there are at least videos out there of it that aren't just shitty house/club music. I am now, like within the past 30 seconds, pretty intent on either the digitakt or the mpc. Patience is good (is what I keep having to tell myself).

  5. OP looks like fun but i'd def have Elektron over it. Maybe look into the digitakt?

    What are you aiming to do? OP does alot.

    Exactly. Mostly I just want to come up with skeletons for tracks, mangle samples (I rarely program synths anymore, so I really want something that can sample easily, and a lot), and have fun doing it (so the Korg series is out). The 404sx is great with sample time, but the sequencer is useless and I am very over resampling, for now.

     

    Also, holy shit! This might be the wallet killer.

  6. Just went through about two days of trying to talk myself out of buying an op-1 (not for the first time). I put my Bass Station II and SP-404sx on Amazon to sell. I'm thinking of taking at least the SP back down, even though i haven't used it in a while. 

     

    Someone talk me out of buying the op-1, please! I am going on a long flight in may, and I want some kind of toy. The Novation Circuit is a lot more price friendly, I just wish to hell that you could sample directly into it. 

     

    Also, anyone want to buy a BSII?

  7. The lost city of z

     

    This was really good. James Grey is underrated and his direction is always elegant and classical. Also didn't know Charlie Hunnam could act.

     

    Glad to hear that was good. Been looking forward to it.

     

    Tonight I think it'll either be Sighteers or Very Bad Things. Feeling in a dark comedy mood

  8. Kind of off topic, but I tried to look up DNA on youtube and it wasn't on there. There were a bunch of fakes. I think this might be the first time I've looked up a single song by a popular artist and not been able to find it. I like that, makes me feel a little better about the future of piracy/artist rights (even though I know the whole album will prolly be on YT within a week). 

     

    Anyways, I got Amazon unlimited. That track is really good. 

  9. 10 mins in when his wife pulls up her kecks in the back of the car. Worth persevering?

    Yes! Keep going. Even if it doesn't wow you, you won't be able to deny that it's one of the most batshit insane things you've ever seen. Some of the individual scenes, even out of context, are phenomenal.
