DAWless Hypnotic Techno Live Set

  • Hey guys, here's a cool little techno set I was working on this week with the synthesizers.
    I accidentally hit the camera a few times...
    I recently got one of the new galaxy phones that has an ultrawide camera so I can get high(ish) quality shots of the entire setup if I sit the camera right in front of me. This of course has the unfortunate side effect of me accidentally hitting the tripod stand occasionally.
    This is also only 99% dawless as I've added some compression in post to bring it up to a nice level. Everything else is totally handmade.
    Here's a list of modules and machines:
    Mutable Instruments : Veils, Marbles, Plaits, Clouds
    Qu-Bit Nebulae V2
    2hp Verb
    G-Storm Electro Delta VCF
    Endorphin.es Cockpit Squared
    Ornament and Crime
    Arturia : Drumbrute Impact, Minibrute 2S
    Behringer Neutron
    The last extended set I did on this channel was a little too top heavy for my taste; this one is a little too bottom heavy. Maybe one day (possibly with an outboard mixer) I'll be able to have a well mixed set haha.
    Thanks for listening everyone.
    P.S. Here's a link to download this in an uncompressed format :)

      Agreed. The Drumbrute kick is a little weak, and I don't have a dedicated compressor to make the kick more pronounced so the best I can do is some ducking with the mixer

    Hi, very Nice song .
    I would like to buy my first synth : the behringer neutron .
    Do you use a sequencer with the neutron ?
    If yes, witch ?
    Sorry for my bad english, i´m french.

    • @RickHowell
      @RickHowell  Рік тому

      Yes, you'll need a way to sequence the neutron externally. It does not come with a sequencer. I usually use eurorack gear to sequence it, but you can make it work with any midi controller or midi connection to your computer.

    Did it need much mastering work after recording? The mix sounds really clean 👌

    • @RickHowell
      @RickHowell  2 роки тому

      Thanks!
      And I'm not that great at mastering to be fair, so I didn't do too much haha. Pretty much just took a little off the high end since the 'shaker' sound running through the delay was a little too loud and brought everything up to 0dB

    • @FUNKINETIK
      @FUNKINETIK Рік тому

      Brilliant sounds… your reply here is really helpful,… I thought the sound must have had some treatment, the level was perfect
      wow.. the music is superb.. I was close to buying a Neutron when it was released, I’d been following its development.. but .. blah.. 20ish months ago I got a MB2S and getting into modular etc.. but yeah the mix here sounds excellent.

    You know what? At a club I'd rather be listening to you playing a live set of bangers like this, with all its 'mistakes' and human soul left in it, than just a bunch of identikit DJs playing highly produced bassline house (or whatever this week's micro-genre is) all night, no variations allowed.
    We are musicians, not 'producers' making product, and we are making real electronic music. As BoBeats says - we are the counter-culture

    • @RickHowell
      @RickHowell  2 роки тому +2

      Couldn't have said it better myself! I do think once we get this deep into the synth realm, we're making music for musicians... a much smaller set than the set of average club goers. It's awesome to listen to synth gigs, but there's not a huge audience for it yet, so DJs are the norm

    • @Jackhno
      @Jackhno Рік тому +1

      @@RickHowell Yeah, I'm getting into the Electronic Music Open Mic scene here in the UK and it's fantastic... and that'll never be for more than us synth heads. But I definitely think that live sets of dancefloor-oriented house & techno can appeal to broader audiences - it's just breaking down those barriers, especially with promoters who hate taking risks. Which is a shame as I know from experience most people just want a good groove to dance to and won't discriminate between a live act and DJs. Saying that, I do find that a lot of people are actually put off by dance music being too samey and bored by DJs being too similar. I think that's something we as a group have already picked up on. Just as punks gave stale rock music a good kicking, maybe we are the people that are coming along to shake dance music out of it's own complacency?😁
