Taupe Beats

There is analog passthrough options on Focusrite interfaces, they're pretty flexible. What are your plans for the Mackie's tape input/outputs? The output mirrors the master (and the input doesn't have EQ's and stuff like a channel input). A patchbay would be helpful for you.

Do both. Use it with your interface but then you can also record whatever's running in the mixer right to tape (including softsynths). Also try no-input mixing:

Now this is where I have to step in. Don't you disparage the good goshdarned name of Vlad when it comes to IDM. The single most underrated thing Warp ever put out:

The station I play on: https://www.sub.fm/ Almost 20 years old. Ton of great DJ's past and present. Hessle Audio started there (Ruffage Sessions). Station @bronchuseven (as Sriracha) plays on: https://sharedfrequencies.live/ Up and coming station. Whole lot of new music to discover.

On the subject of N-Type, his old 10-year anniversary show on Rinse is worth checking. N-Type and Chef tear it up. First hour is wonderful (don't really give a shit about the rest of it, personally). The Skream and Benga dubs at the beginning are great. The Spongebob blend still gets me hyped up.

Squarp announced a new hardware sequencer today. It looks like a monster. https://squarp.net/hapax

Just found out this is Deadboy. Learn something new every day. It's all worth checking out. The Deadboy new age mixes were nice.

Sergei Loznitsa's "Maidan" seems like a good recommendation here and now:

Makes me smile that Mat the Alien is back at it.

Just discovered the shitposting on the first page by 'ol Doc. C- work. However this album is amazing. FANTASYNTH is one of the more creative rhythmic tracks I've ever heard (it's not hard to mix as a dj even though only 1 component is stable).

Best Squarepusher album

Does your MPC have an input that would allow like a cheap Nux or Boss trigger pedal to work? My MPC1000 has 2. I'm able to trigger start/stop and a separate punch in/out that way.

Nah, what made the 2010 moment so hard to take was the suddenness of it. The OT. If it's just some prodigy beating the crap outta team USA, that would have been easier to take. haha

The US vs. Canada Gold Medal game from Vancouver 2010 is one of the most exhilarating sporting events I've ever seen. Oh and bring speed skiing back to the Olympics.

I know at least with the Faderfox, you can configure locally. But I do agree, any device that won't let you configure locally will likely become either dedicated to whatever it's setup for at the time, or a brick. That Electra is cool but it's like an iPad with knobs on it. For the price comparison, I'd rather have the Faderfox.

Updates to last post: 1. Looks like the industry term I was unaware of is "Digital Label". 2. I went on a bit deeper investigation after posting this and it appears the Faderfox EC4 is my ideal solution. 3. I had forgotten the Novation SL MK3's and the NI Kontrol do this, but I remember they only let you keep 1 preset onboard with user configurable data (the rest are presets they give you for DAW's). Baffling and not helpful if you use a lot of hardware. The Faderfox appears to have 16 presets which isn't great but it also appears each preset has up to 256 independent controls (so it's really 32+ presets when you get clever).

Apologies if I've asked this before, but still on a mission: Is there a hardware MIDI Controller that lets you add your own name to a parameter that shows up on a display? So for instance, you could name "cutoff" for CC74, and when you turn the control assigned to that CC, the display will show the name ("Cutoff" in this example) and the value for that parameter. Never understood why MIDI Controllers don't do this. "Envelope Attack" is a lot more helpful to see than CC73.

Silver lining: This banter has made me ponder if something similar happened around Kraftwerk's "Pocket Calculator". Which is funny to me.

I am dj'ing on www.sub.fm tonight, 8pm CST/2am GMT. Tune in, shall be fun!

Puffy crawled so we can all walk.

A really versatile device that can do a ton of cool shit but needs a bit more flexibility in its settings (I've sent these to Arturia): 1. Drum note mappings per-project (one of the most fun drum sequencers I've used but only 16 midi notes for the whole thing isn't enough). 2. Allow the ability to turn the MIDI performance channel off. Need this if you have stuff assigned to all 16 channels already. I'd be quite happy if these things happened. As it is, I get a ton of usage out of it.
