perunamuusi Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Laptop with no f key so a USB keyboard. Broken audio out with a £7 USB "soundcard". Mouse. No hardware. Typewriter interface. Still people keep asking to put me on vinyl so I must be doing something right. Oh yeah £15 sennheisers as well with a flaky connection in the left ear.

perunamuusi Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Oh and one of my goto vst synths won't save patches so I have to screencap the settings and save to jpg in mspaint and copy them back in whenever I open a project that incorporates that synth.

Aren't the synths parameter settings automatically saved withing your song file, or use your host to save/recall fxb/fxp's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Chesney Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 yeah, I would kill to be able to not work and just make music. I have so little time to do it, it hurts. Although, I sorted the studio out today and it's the most efficient, tidy and streamlined it's ever been. Stoked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modey Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 The less I look at the screen the happier I am. I just want to make music as I hear it, let that govern the way it should be. If I look at the screen it's easy to get bogged down in making things look pretty or follow ideas by numbers. Some people work better that way. You got to buy the things that most suit your way or idea of how you want to work. Me, means I need gear to make it happen. If you want a massive screen, good monitors and a controller then do it, spend time and money on treatment though not more and more plugins each month. Plugins lust is worse than gear lust ;) I bought a bunch of gear and then realised that it's not very good for the intricate prog stuff I've been working on in Renoise. Having said that, I did start making some minimal tech as a result.. even though I use the gameboys/miniature electronics more than my monomachine :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chesney Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 I guess that's where the marriage of the two is the best of both worlds. I believe gear is more about the fun and interface aspect but also about merging different sound sources to create unique mixes. The DAW and software will always be the most flexible but all the sounds from one source can make for dull music. (not always;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
