YEK Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 After a long deliberation I've decided to stay with ableton live and abandon my hopes of an all hardware setup. I have some extra money I'm thinking get a new cartridge for the extra turntable for sampling Also maybe a zoom recorder I have nice headphones and speakers already... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
user Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 If you're gonna stay with Live for a while get a push 2 imho. I'd get a not too great cartridge for sampling, most stuff that's gonna be interesting enough to sample is gonna sound rough anyway, that's my take on it. I've only ever had a, eh, small taste of sampling. Or just get the zoom and spend the money you were gonna spend on the cartridge on befriending someone that has a great hifi setup and record collection and slowly introduce the zoom into your listening sessions. Build an amazing sample library and sell it. Use this money to gain access to someone with an even greater setup and collection. Rinse and repeat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the push 2 better than push 1 ? because I have a push 1.. As far as cartridge I like the idea of one of those dj ortofons that you just plug in... hm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ignatius Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 virtual CZ by Oli Larkin is $13 at plug in boutique if you need some CZ style wahtever. i don't own it but people seem to like it a lot. https://www.pluginboutique.com/product/1-Instruments/4-Synth/1158-VirtualCZ there's a site where you can get hydrophones.. mic for submerging in water. they're not expensive if memory serves. i'll have to find the bookmark. they're made for field recording. also there's those little conductive mics you can put on any electronics and it picks up all the fuzz and electro what not that's going on. induction mics! that's what i was trying to remember. here's links to recommendations for all the fun mics for field recording. https://www.creativefieldrecording.com/2017/06/07/the-unconventional-microphone-buyers-guide/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thawkins Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 You know, if you feel you have all the gear and stuff that you need... It's finally time to Get Started Making Music. It's the day you have been waiting for so long! 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acid1 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 One does not just "Get Started Making Music" At the very least we need to wait for masterclass videos on how to use each piece of gear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TubularCorporation Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 I assume you already have a badass katana, otherwise this question wouldn't need asking. Zoom recorders are endlessly useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TubularCorporation Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 (edited) People seem to swear by the Superlux S502 (semi-clone of a $3200 USD Schoeps mic) as one of the best affordable field recording mics of all time. You probably couldn't go wrong with a Zoom and one of those, although I've never actually tried one myself. https://www.thomannmusic.com/superlux_s502.htm EDIT: obligatory Gearslutz thread https://www.gearslutz.com/board/remote-possibilities-in-location-recording-amp-production/568801-superlux-s502.html Edited November 20, 2020 by TubularCorporation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheatheman Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Push 2 is nicer in every way, but it’s not really an upgrade, from what I know, at least not a $800 one. The only functionality I know of that is different is I think there’s a “convert to simpler” button for audio clips. There might be more, but really I think the push 2 is more about their split with Akai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
