    The h2n has a better mic, so if it’s all you’re planning on using get it instead. The h4n has a lot of other options tho- specifically the ability to use a different mic, but if you aren’t planning on that......

    The more I think about it, there are a number of times where the tempo of the track was dictated by an old record sample, or human rhythm I made with something. I’ll just keep adjusting the tempo, often times in decimals, so that it’s perfect for whatever I’ve sampled. I’m sure a lot of you have done this type of thing too. I normally feel good having a tempo that’s 127.459 or some shit like that. Feels more organic. I can’t believe I just remembered all this, I totally should have mentioned it earlier in this thread! Also, I realized a lot of the stuff I made has been 114, 126, or 134- idk why but I seem to use those three tempos often.

    Two all time “makes me smile” type songs. BTW if you haven’t seen the Robert Rich or Steve Roach (another great Steve) recent live soundquest performances from the 2021 show you totally should.

    Nice! I like how it sounds clean, but also messy at the same time, if you know what I mean. Just followed on sc

    My son and I used this site a bunch to try and identify what goes with who, and what certain guys names are and all that. It’s pretty awesome

    We recently finished up the most recent CB Strike show- Lethal White. My wife is really into the books, so we have watched them all as they have came out. It was good, a little bit like a less intense version of the Benedict Sherlock.

    I feel you, man. It sucks.

    I always thought the “musik von harmonia” album reminded me of autechre- as far as old shit goes. But really most cluster has an ae vibe IMO.

    I ended up investing in mining. It seems pretty solid. So far it looks like I’ll double what I’ve put in, which seems like a good investment. I do hate the idea that it could be draining electricity and canceling out the progress of solar power (which was mentioned in the other thread). If you have the money to get the hardware, and live by a place where you can easily buy high end GPUs, then you should be able to drop $5-10,000 and generate $40 a day. However- I am not an expert at all, I’m just investing with an in law who is more knowledgeable about it all than me. I am fortunate enough to be in a position where I don’t punch a clock, so I have the time and finances to dick around with it without any real serious risk. Also, we are gradually switching to solar power with several of the properties we own, and my in law is having solar panels installed at his home at this very moment, just because that’s where our main mining pc is. Hopefully that cancels out the negative environmental impact we have.

    That captain beefheart album got me thinking of Zappa, and the cover for burnt weeny sandwich- I forgot how much I love that album and cover. Bongo fury is awesome too, but the cover isn’t anything special.

    I think over 135 is too fast for the typical “danceable” techno/house/rave. DJs always said 133 was the best for actual dancing, but who knows. 140-170 seems pretty idm. I like 90-150. Most of what I write is 100-110, tho. Also, I might have certain gear at 200 in a 100 song for faster rolls or whatever.

    I feel like these pieces, plus the buttons and controls in the original Star Wars are the designs and aesthetics I look for in gear. I almost feel so influenced by them that I might disregard gear that is too “bubbly”. It was one of the biggest complaints I had with the prequels. The Empire just built cooler ships and equipment, I guess.

    My son and I love these videos, he says they are the most satisfying thing he’s ever seen.

    Almost got this for my son for Christmas, but instead went with the PlayStation vr. He still ended up getting an avengers helicarrier and the razors edge from mandalorian. We are still trying to finish the Death Star, too, so our house is becoming overrun with giant Star Wars sets. I agree, tho, it’s one of the coolest Lego sets ever.

    Yes, you should. It’s totally worth it. I had an analogue solutions clone for years, and I can tell you that the td3 beats it for sure. Also, it’s so cheap. I recently sold my analogue solutions clone because I bought some 303 clone modules that ended up making the old one useless to me. However, once I saw how cheap the td3 was (at the time $150) I figured it was worth it. So now I have two clones, one overpriced and integrated into my eurorack, and the other a fun cheap little box. I was not let down at all. You definitely can make some acid- I would say the distortion is kinda shitty, and the snappy attack is a little too harsh for a 303, but the “non 303” stuff only really comes thru when you cover the full spectrum of what it can do. If you keep it minimal it’s pretty convincing. I would also say that it’s pretty cool you get a class compliant usb midi interface, and an awesome cv sequencer. The sequencer is really fun, and you can’t get a eurorack sequencer like it for anywhere close to that price. Definitely get it if your even considering it at all.

    I forgot about live streaming, yeah you gotta have a whole different approach to quality. Are those zoom and Yamaha standalone mixer things designed for podcasters good for live streaming? I ended up getting one of the 12 channel zooms that were for podcasting (live track?) but I returned it because it ultimately couldn’t record in 24/96. I thought that it sounded pretty high quality tho, way more than I expect from zoom.

    I heard about the j&j news right after I left meijer. Luckily, mine was Pfizer biontech, but I guess they would have probably canceled on me too if it was johnson. Does anyone else always get the sepultura: biotech is Godzilla song stuck in their head when they see biontech? Off topic for sure-I also read this book one time with a character named “getaway” and could it get the song from arrested development season 4 out of my head.

    Has anyone had any experience with elby designs modules? With all this serge talk, I keep thinking about how I used to see their stuff really cheap on eBay all the time when I was first building my eurorack
