@@MwahMwahProductions Gotta keep the channel alive until I get the mixer 😋 Think I'll completely revamp another corner for the stuff so I can livestream this winter, it's not like I have better things to do 🤷‍♂️😂

@@minikuiotoko Haha, your winters are brutal, how much daylight you getting now? Finland is definitely a good place to stay in and do music, I've got too many distractions!

@@MwahMwahProductions Still 8 hours but at Christmas it's down to 4 hours on my area, we're losing half an hour of the sun every week. It's only the north with month and a half without the sun. -7c right now, definitely starting to feel cold 😁

@@minikuiotoko Still reasonable then...for now!

@@MwahMwahProductions I really like the strings on the Casio, though you can really hear the interpolation on them sometimes 😁 That's the USB out of the mixer, sounds really weak. Think I might go Behringer XR18 soon because I'm so tired of the noise of the x2222 😅

@@minikuiotoko I had a CZ-101 years ago, that's the only Casio I've owned, fun synth! Yeah, you've definitely got a bit of noise coming from the desk, can't notice it on the phone or laptop, but can with the headphones on.

@@MwahMwahProductions The noise was even worse before I fixed the PSU, I think it still needs the smaller caps replaced too. I could get the cheaper XR16 but it doesn't do multitracking and I'd rather be future proof. Who knows, maybe I want to master these some day 😋

@@minikuiotoko I forgot you did a repair job! It's definitely worth spending as much as possible on the mixer. I've been thinking about getting a Behringer Wing console for a while, love my MX-1 but, could do with more inputs, be nice to use the aux outs on the MPC. On the flip side, the MX-1 stops me gassing for more synths. 😂

@MwahMwahProductions They just introduced the Wing compact and made the older models a tad cheaper. I was thinking of hooking up a big touchscreen to the XR18 so even if I lose tactility, I still have at least a control surface that looks like a real mixer. They make a Midas version of it too but I didn't hear a real practical difference between the PRO and the normal preamps. And that's a good tactic to keep the herd manageable, but then again, you're just a patchbay away from adding more stuff to your existing rig 😁

@@robertocaba5915 I need to do more dub but I'm on the dub mood only so often 😊 But I think it's better to do it when you feel like it instead of trying to force it 🤷‍♂️😁

@@mack_solo I think the instant effects of the Roland SP404, even the EP-133 would work better with this style of music 🤔 I didn't have a good grasp of the sample editing on the MPC before this one, now I do 😁 It has a few time saving features, like trimming while playing the sample, which is very convenient. But overall it's still rather slow compared to the PC 😅 Massive Attack - Danny the Dog is closer to what I'd like to do, I love Hybrid also, Orbital - Transient is godly good too 😁

@@mack_solo PSU of the mixer 😁 I agree, it only bothered to a degree but since it became loud enough to be an instrument of its own, I had to fix it. And now that I had a taste of the silence, I want more of it 😁 That's even if my monitors have more white noise right now at the recording level, ie. I can only hear the difference in the recorded mix 😁 And I do agree, most people will never be able to tell the difference of the preamps, most people can only tell if the background of the mix is black or not. This to me is at acceptable level for what I do, so the real reason I want a new mixer still is the second stereo bus. I want it! But silence too! 😁

It really is. In all fairness he could've asked 250-270 for it but he didn't even mention the upgrade in the post and I was genuinely buying a vanilla TR-8 for the 200 (here the going rate is 180-220€). The device also came with the old firmware, suggesting he just didn't have any real use for it and it was just collecting dust. And quite often that's how you get the best deals; people are just looking to get rid of the stuff and price it to sell. Usually you find single synths like that, people just try them once only to figure out that the DAWless isn't for them and out goes the synth. The reality of needing quite a bit more than just the single synth becomes the wall of entry and ain't nobody got time or money for that.

@@justinhuffman2430 Thank you! 😊

I usually keep an eye of the market places and know the lowest prices the stuff is going for. Like everything, I tend to buy when it's low but unlike some people, I don't sell it high as I'm the forever home for the gear. I suppose that's the best part about being a grown ass man, you no longer have to peddle with the stuff as you can just keep it until the space becomes an issue. I've been 10 months into this, for the timeline the amount of gear isn't that bad and now that I have the basics covered, I can save up a little more for the kind of stuff that I might want to own at least to try it but perhaps end up selling down the line. But, we shall see how it goes. First I have to upgrade out of this Behringer mixer! So like the spice, the gear must flow😁

@@MrFabiusynth It was nothing but Bad Gear until I got the MPC 1000 😁 But it gets the job done 😊

Thank you! 😄

Thank you! It's pretty basic, I need a few more recovery days not to be distracted by the tooth pain to manage more elements than this 😂

No pain no gain :´)

@@joppesuvikas3341 Yleensä en kuitenkaan tingi, eli hinnat ovat myyjän asettamia. Eli ovat hinnoiteltu niin että myy ja pari hyvää diiliä on mennyt ohi, tuossa oli esim modal cobalt8 300€ mutta joku sen nappasi ja todennäköisesti laittoi heti uudestaan myyntiin. Itsellä nämä kuitenkin tulevat ihan oikeaan käyttöön ja ns. forever kotiin 😁

Itse selailen vaan noita Thomanin katalogeja. Oli miten oli. Miellytävän kuuloista musiikia teet. Varsinkin se Deep Dub Techno Otti korvaan

@@joppesuvikas3341 Niinhän se menee että yksi tykkää äidistä ja toinen tyttärestä. Itsellä Bad gear setin kasaaminen lähti käsistä 😁 Hommat myös lipeää välillä tech housen puolelta teknommalle puolelle, vaikken tällä setillä vielä sinne kovemmalle puolelle ole ehtinyt eksyä ☺

I still remember the first 303 clones hitting the second hand market. They were still 300-500 euros back then, just one of those would've eaten half of my current investment, so I can't really blame the Behringer for making the stuff more accessible. They could be a bit more original, though it's hard to disagree with the TD-3 😁 I use the Venom as the master keyboard, route it through the MPC to the device I want to sequence. It's really fast and convenient to play the stuff in but for grid sequencing, I think the Circuits speed is unmatched. That sequencer just is that good. I was really tossing the coin between the Tracks and the MPC for a long time, but then the MPC popped up and I just had to get it. I would love to have a dedicated sequencer like the Pyramid because my current setup can be severely limited if I want to do stuff live. But, I still have a few more basic things to upgrade, so I don't have to pay much attention to that side right now, as the noise of the mixer pulls ALL of my attention and I'm sure it's starting to annoy everyone else, too. I've half expected someone to say "Sounds great, BUT.." for a long time, but the community is nice and understanding when it comes down to this stuff 🙃

Keanuwhoa 😁 Tracks is at Amazon.it on prime customer deals for 246.99 + shipping, ~260€ for a brand new Tracks is a pretty good deal! 👀 Here the going rate for OG is 100-180, some try to get more of it but if you keep an eye on the Amazon deals, the local prices make no sense. Hagglezon is a good way to compare between the EU amazons, most of them ship to whole EU 😁

I received the TR-8 at 16.9 so I've had it for two weeks at monday 😁 Pros: Legacy sounds I'm familiar with, easy to get the levels right in the mix. Stereo plus two mono outputs, the inputs can be assigned to mono inputs too. With the 7x7 expansion the range of the device is wide enough for my use, I was basically raised by those toms and the hihats. In general it sits great in the mix, it's never offensive or begging the attention unless you want to draw the attention to it. Then it can take the center stage, the sound quality is good enough. Enough controls and they're easy to access once you get familiar with it - now you see me use the track mutes on the device all the time instead of the mixer. Cons: 16 step sequencer which expands to 32 steps BUT you can't copy the first steps to the next 16 steps. You CAN use the song mode for longer sequences and the copypaste works fine there, but then you are pretty much limited to a single song in the machine. The swing is set, which makes me miss my Impact a lot, on it I could fine tune any hit to any amount of swing I wanted. No automation/motion sequencing, which shouldn't surprise anyone who bought it as it was never included. Still, wish it was there. Also, another two extra outputs would've been nice but not mandatory and I'm saying that knowing you can get all the channels separated through the USB - it's not my use case, so not a thing to me. The effects are limited but useable enough but I do wish I was able to quickly midi sync the delay as now you have to listen . . listen . . still not right . . listen to it to get it right-ish 😁 Overall it's a fine device for what I paid for it and the fact it has the legacy sounds I'm familiar with makes it really easy to work with. I can get the balance of my mixes right fast and for my workflow it works great. I'm old-school, my sound is a mix of that and whatever I've listened to as of lately and these sounds still dominate the airspace, whether we like it or not. 909 is the electric guitar of our generation and owning a device that can produce those sounds is a joy 😁 I might still go for the TR-8S down the line for the automation, though 🤔

@@MoeShinola1 Thank you! Less is more 🤷🏻‍♂️😁

@@_Alex_Crystal I was thinking of getting a soundcard to direct record, that would allow me to get release ready without the excess mixer noise 🤔😊

@@user82938 Northern Finland. It's actually a bit late here, the autumn has been extremely warm this year 😊

@@casoblantly Thank you! 😊

@@FatSynthDude Yeah, the space is a constant issue. I buy new stuff and the cables explode for a while. Mounting solutions for the stuff don't exist, so everything is kind of makeshift. I'm sure I'll figure it out down the line but my priority is getting the devices I need to produce the sounds first, so that's what we're going with 🤷🏻‍♂️😁

@@Trollgaldrer Thank you! I should've checked it with my headphones. Usually I recommend mixing with the speakers but constantly tracking with the headphones at the same time. Eventually you'll learn both of them so well you can mix with either of them but preferably both of them, as you can never have too many reference sources 😊

Pad pulls it towards the house 😁 I might not be gender fluid but I am genre fluid for sure 🤷🏻‍♂️😂

@@CorrollaCross It's the switch board of the MPC 1000, had to swap all of them 😊 There were another 8 switches on the side boards too 👀

@@jaffajenkins Took me 3 hours yesterday to replace the MPC 1000 switches, all I have energy left today is for chilling out 🤔😁

After 40 years of ear training, the TR sounds are like the electric guitar; whenever you hear them, you recognize and accept them. I'm not sure if we adopted around their sound or if they were always able to cut through our mixes great because no matter what, they always seem to sit in the mix perfectly. I agree, it can sound a bit tired at times but then again, so can any mix. It's good to remember that if your only tool is the hammer, every problem starts to look like a nail. Legacy/heritage sounds are great but not solution to every problem 😁

. . except for the mixer! Now that I have the TR sounds in my pocket, it's going to be the next thing I upgrade. Down the line a smaller master keyboard too, preferably the kind that can also produce sounds 😁

@@mack_solo The dubby track following this one is straight continuation for it. I wanted to make it into three parts but ran out of time. Whole system is clocked and sequenced by the MPC 1000. Drumbrute has very slack clock, it drifts even within the 16 steps very noticeably. I play the parts in with the keyboard, though usually I play the drum parts directly live into the drumbrutes sequencer. I haven't tried that yet on the TR-8 which I got monday, just step sequencing on it so far 😊

@@vladyslav_myaso Thank you! 😄

@@vladyslav_myaso Thank you! 😄

@@MoeShinola1 Thank you! 😊

@@HazeAnderson I've finally started mixing with the second reference, it helps a lot getting the balance right 😊 Song structure on this one isn't the best, though 😅

@@HazeAnderson Something different 🤷🏻‍♂️ I really need to figure out why the Venom won't play sequences when it's the master keyboard 🎹

@@minikuiotoko I remember Nick Bat from Sonicstate saying that for some settings you have to use the Vyzex software...

@@mack_solo Yes, I've tried the software but it doesn't have great many midi settings. Maybe if I used in the multimode and tried to control one of the parts rather than keep it in the single mode, that might work. Would also give me three more parts over the single mode it is in right now 🤔

@@minikuiotoko I think you need to check the Global Mode settings. Multi and Single should follow what's in Global tab.

Yeah, I've tried that but to no avail. I was able to play the Venom from the Circuit, suggesting there's some kind of conflict that doesn't allow it to work correctly either from the Circuit or the MPC end. Circuit uses set midi channels, so not much I can do about that but it still should work if I run the Circuit at B midi of the MPC and Venom at A. Separating the Venom parts didn't help, but to test it further I need to get more midi cables, the TR-8 forced the Venom into keyboard mode only as I had to use its input cable for the TR-8 😅

@@HazeAnderson Used to love the french house before it became disco 😋

@@jaffajenkins Mostly just basic waveforms on this one too, everything becomes a pad if you give it enough delay and reverb 😁

@@MwahMwahProductions I'm too spammy, sorry 😂 Based on the views and likes, I should focus more on the dubby stuff but I like a wide variety of the genres, so I do what I want instead of forcing myself into a certain format 🤷🏻‍♂️😊

@@minikuiotoko Chasing views can be a slippery slope, best to do what you want, if people like it, thats cool, if not, maybe they'll like the next offering. Most people who are into House/Techno don't just listen to one style.......unless they're into Gabber!😆

@@MwahMwahProductions To me UA-cam is mostly just free storage, but I do appreciate the bot-free interaction it offers. I wanted to try the SoundCloud but it's so bot infested that it feels waste of everyones time and as you know, down the line that's the only commodity we have 👀 I haven't done any hardcore, happy or not, at least yet 😂 Thunderdome or gtfo! 😂

@@minikuiotoko Haven't looked at Soundcloud in years. They made it harder for smaller peeps to get noticed, which pissed off a lot of those that paid and supported them. This was around 2015, before that you could get decent numbers on tracks.

@@straightforwardAcidTechno Thank you! 😊

@@oliverfriedrich4345 At Finland we have every mans right to forage the woods for the berries. Free for all, you can also sell them for tax-free income so everyone tends to have a freezer full of blueberries and Lingonberries 😊 The Lingonberries even preserve in their own juice, no need for sugar or freezer but I prefer jamming them, as we do 😁

@@minikuiotoko Hmmm. Sounds absolutely delicious. I‘ve been to Sweden for work, but haven’t made it to Finland yet. But I need to go there. Take care. Cheers. Ö.
