    Hey, good advise and good take on gear acquisition syndrome. Many of us suffers from it. I'm goint to say only this: Product on this video or the alternatives like trrs splitters(mic and headphone) or headphone buddy are mono. So for example you can not back up po33 with these adapters. For recording stereo or backing up whatever on po33 on the go, you will need either cheap and small audio interface(like Behringer U-Control UCA222) of some kind of portable recorder(like Tascam DR-05X or zoom h1n). I learned the hard way.

    This is a burst of fresh air on my UA-cam feed, which, like yours, has become a non-stop and borderline addictive series of advertisements for the newest tiny groovebox. I appreciate the reframing you offer--to focus on the music itself, while purchasing things that will serve creativity, without entirely renouncing our consumerist consensus of reality. Thank you!

    Buy notebooks and pencils. Big or small, thick or thin, fancy or cheap. Those are some of the best gear for everything because sometimes you just need to write or draw to design what you want to do with the fancy gear; even cheap note papers are useful as a tracing paper, even Bic pens are great sketching instruments. And as a collecting hobby, it's cheap, and all the tools do the job, it's just a matter of what flavor you're feeling like.

    I feel mostly the same but here's my perspective. To share some context, I was in a rock band with some friends during high school years and loved it. After graduation (and life!) we all moved away and stop playing together. I kept trying to make music on my own (on several DAWs) but never really felt the same fun. I could write a melody on a piano roll, program drums, etc. but even when the song was okayish to my ears, it lacked the fun part of rehearsing/jamming. I once bought a midi controller so I could have learned to play the keyboard and jam along my tracks but it was'nt really as engaging. So what you describe as your first step on the MPC, I think I felt it when discovering the KO 33 and going dawless. It brought the fun back. And then as the novelty slowly but steadily fade away, it was back to "work" and a bit less fun. I went to the phase where, watching a lot of videos showcasing other gear (SC500, Stylophone Gen X-1 and Beat, PO28 in my case), I went and bought these. So I mostly agree with the Gear Acquisition Syndrome part but I think it's okay if sometimes a new piece of gear can light back the fire or guide someone towards a new direction. And now I hope I found the middle ground : I do my best to use what I already own and I authorize myself to buy gear that will reduce friction to make music or have more fun doing it. Nothing that complexifies my setup or create extra step to start! And I guess that may be kinda the point you're making by recommanding a piece of gear like the one at the end. Sorry for the long story (and poor english) but since you adressed the problem, I wanted to share a bit of thoughts and advice too ;)
    Thank you for your videos, they're really cool!

      thank you for sharing your thoughts and story, i think everything is good as long as your having fun expressing yourself. Also for me there are some pieces of gear that i can just "sink into" and completly forget the world around me while i use them - and then they get back in the drawer and i don't use them for a couple of months - i think tldr i wanna say: it's not the buying part that makes you happy - it's the creative process !
      and anything that allows you to be creative is good :-)

    Protip: if you have a focusrite scarlet solo you can use it with your phone as well. at least with a samsung galaxy. I would think any usb powered interface will work. Of course its not as portable, but when I do found sound recording with koala I use the focusrite with my condenser mic, so I need the 48 volts phantom power.

    This is neat and I appreciate the motivation behind not sharing a link but I'll say I've bought a few of these USB-C to audio adapters and many of them are really crap lol. I'd happily pay $5 for one that actually works instead of gambling on 3 for $1 until one works. If you got one that works great and is cheap you should just share it!

      Hey the brand im using is called "Sabrent" and it works with my google pixel 5 phone, laptop and tablet (with micro usb to USB c Adapter) - sadly i cannot confirm for any other devices.
      I have a "Roland Go:Mixer" that has multiple stereo/mono audio ins aswell as a function for monitoring the input signal on the headphones out. They sell them used on mercari for ~4000 yen or 30 dollars I guess - if you want a little bit more stable device (its also small but not "super small" - maybe Palm size)

    • @UKULELERIGA
      @UKULELERIGA 8 місяців тому

    Guitar picks. After I invested in getting a big pack of my absolute favorite guitar picks, the ones that feel good when playing ANY guitar, EVERY guitar was fun to play, more comfortable, and thus more inspiring. Small comforts over expensive gear. I think the same could be said for a certain type of strap, or a special piano bench or drum seat that just feels right. There are accessories that make all the difference in the world and elevate your experience on every level of the things you already own.

    • @ViviSectia

    For your home setup, if you already have a soundcard, just use a usb c to b cable to connect it to your phone instead of your computer. This way you can record and even film your performance with good sound quality.
    Make sure you chose a cable that's long enough though, if you want to use the camera.

    That "ninja star" audio splitter is great for midi/sync clock multiplying.

For Volca Modular i use simple breadbord with cheap electronic components (attenuators, switches, etc). It is great for signal routing alone.

I always use the excuse that "this synth has a sound that the others dont have, I have to have it" but if I really spent more time with each of my other synths one by one, I probably could create what I hear on the new synth. Yes, I know, bad case of GAS. But because of space limitations in my studio, I DO try to purchase a synth that can add to what I already have. As for the cheap gadgets...I'm more than happy to get a nice new collection of colorful patch cables or a new MIDI box. I like to buy connectors and cables that can accommodate any situation.

      Let me tell you a story about how I got interested in electronic music. It all started way back when, back in the days when CDs were still a thing and MP3 players were the latest craze. I remember stumbling upon this obscure electronic track while browsing through some old music forums, and let me tell you, it was like nothing I'd ever heard before. The beat was so infectious, so hypnotic, it just pulled me in and refused to let go. From that moment on, I was hooked. I started diving deeper and deeper into the world of electronic music, exploring everything from house to techno to ambient and beyond. It was like peeling back layers of an onion, each new track revealing a whole new dimension of sound and texture. I spent hours upon hours scouring record stores and online forums, hunting down rare vinyl releases and obscure digital downloads. But it wasn't just about the music itself, oh no. It was about the culture, the community, the whole ethos of electronic music. I remember going to my first rave, stepping into that dimly lit warehouse with its throbbing basslines and swirling lights, and feeling like I'd found my tribe. People from all walks of life, coming together to dance and connect and lose themselves in the music. It was beautiful, man, just beautiful. And then there were the artists, the visionaries pushing the boundaries of what was possible with sound. I'm talking about the pioneers like Kraftwerk and Giorgio Moroder, laying the groundwork for a whole new genre of music. And then there were the modern-day innovators, the Aphex Twins and Boards of Canadas of the world, taking electronic music to places I never even knew existed. But you know what really gets me about electronic music? It's the way it can evoke such powerful emotions without saying a single word. I mean, you listen to a track like "Windowlicker" by Aphex Twin, and it's like you're being transported to another dimension, where the rules of reality no longer apply. It's transcendent, man, like a religious experience. So why am I telling you this? Well, after that long explanation you'll probably understand how I felt watching the video.
