    LOVE the video man, i got one but i reall want to know how to like set it all up so i can record whatever im doing with it. how do you record using it basically lol. oh and you got a new sub right here. 😋

    • @musicalmiscellany
      @musicalmiscellany  Рік тому

      Thanks for checking out the video. The easiest way to record is with a USB audio interface and you can plug that into your computer or tablet or whatever. Focusrite and Presonus are two of the top brands and they each have interfaces under $100. If you look at some off brands, you can find them closer to $50. I'd recommend going that route because it makes it so much easier to get into home recording if you've got an audio interface.

      Thanks for watching. I actually have a separate video about the electric washboard. Believe it or not, I used a guitar pickup. It picks up the vibrations of the steel just like it would strings.

    Is the black out to a speaker? I just received mine and I’m a bit confused as to how to mod it, should i use the aux as a bridge or do i need an additional cable?

    • @musicalmiscellany

    @markmanter6508 Рік тому

    So if I were to record my Volca fm, sync it to the either the Volca drum or Volca bass that I’m getting soon and then I would go audio out from one of th Volcas into the monotron delay and then audio out from monotron into my interface in order to record?

    • @musicalmiscellany
      @musicalmiscellany  Рік тому

      Thanks for checking out the vid. This question is probably better suited for a home recording forum than a UA-cam comment (because people can post diagrams and request photos and other specific specs). That said, what you describe sounds logical. However, it you're going to have multiple Volcas going into a single Monotron Delay, you need a mixer to combine their audio signals before the effect. The sync jack allows the clocks to sync but the audio still needs to be mixed.

    hey, could you please tell me what kind of cables you use?
    i recently purchased one of these and got 2 stereo 3,5 to 6,3mm converters(since ive read somewhere that using mono can cause some damage) which i plug into 2i4 scarlett but the sound im getting from it is too quiet...

    • @musicalmiscellany
      @musicalmiscellany  3 роки тому +1

      Thanks for checking out the video. I use a variety of different cables (some mono, some stereo) and I don't seem to have a problem. Sometimes if you're using a mono cable in a stereo jack you just don't push it in all the way. Anyway, the scenario you're describing is quite odd. Are you using TS or TRS cables?

    Cool I guess this is kinda like a pre-amp. Do you know if you can use the Monotron duo for a similar purpose?

    • @musicalmiscellany
      @musicalmiscellany  3 роки тому +2

      I don't own a Monotron Duo but I believe it does have an input jack. That said, it doesn't have the delay so you'd only get the filter effect. The Monotron Delay is definitely more useful as an effect since it has filter and delay.

      One difference in favor of the Duo, though, is that its filter is resonant, and the resonance can be adjusted. It’s good as a filter; the Delay is good as a delay.

      Yes it is. The Montron Delay is very loft and noisy. As you decrease the filter cutoff, you'll hear more hum/hiss from the Montron.
