    hope the dadding is going well ?

    Cheers! She hit 8 months old and magically she's a ton easier. I realize this is also the calm before the storm of that once she starts crawling/walking and then I gotta keep my eyes on her all the time ?

    Do You Work From Home?

    in General Banter

    Posted

    Been working from home for 6 years now. I could never go back to an office.

    Why I like working from home:

    • I get my own interruption free space that I'm constantly improving
    • I'm not wasting all my time and money traveling
    • My dog loves having me around all the time
    • I can meal prep/eat healthy, workout whenever I want
    • I can blast the Collapse EP 20x per day
    • Schedule is generally flexible, I work from like 7-3ish every day, somedays more some less, get coffee, take a shower, go on a walk when i feel like it
    • My boss trusts I can get work done without hoovering over me
    • I generally get paid a salary based on my skill vs location

    So here is some braindance!!

    Recently discovered and been highly inspired by Bogdan Raczynski's productions and methodologies. Most of the new stuff I am working is all tracker composions, written quickly, and trying getting as close to my natural "sound" as I can without being buried in a mountain of gear and perfectionism.

    the watmm GAS thread

    I hate to admit it, but everything I am hearing and seeing on youtube about the models cycles is great. I realize I can dial all these sounds in via the digitone, but these preset machines probably speeds things up significantly.

    I'm half-serious here and maybe this is an asshole question to ask, but: what is keeping you from doing your stuff with the current devices? What features are you missing etc?

    From what I understand it's an insane amount of time and dedication it takes to master the Elektron devices and you can really do a lot with them and pair together with VSTs/other hardware. Maybe I am just not getting it because my workflow really does not touch programming patches inside the synths beyond tweaking the filter cutoff - it's more like combining sounds and putting them through effects, choosing and playing the melodies. There's almost never a case where I am missing some wacky feature somewhere - it's more often that I discover new weird ways to achieve sounds by blasting random MIDI or just messing something up accidentally.

    I find the MD quite complete but lacks in a few ways. The 2.5mb limitation for sampling and transfer via midi comes to mind,. I wouldn't mind a fucking microSD card. The old machine's lack some of the classic elektron features we come to love now like conditional trigs. I still would never trade my MD for anything.

    I want a new MNM because I don't want to spend the insane prices they are listed for on reverb pre-covered in knob twiddler spunk.
