Chontel Battiest Not necessarily, he’s running all his piano/synth/effect sounds through his Mac via Midi. He can get the same sound through a $100 Midi piano.
@@patchua485 looking at the connections on the back of his montage, it would seem like he is only using the usb, that would be for midi over usb to his macbook pro
Pat Chua if you look at the ins / outs he’s using on the montage he’s only plugged into 3 things. 1. Power(IEC) 2. MIDI(USB 2 type B) 3. Sustain (1/4”). I can’t tell for sure but if I were him I would have a separate Interface like a UA Apollo twin or something plugged into my laptop, with the montage usb, piano usb, and midi controller all also going into it. It looks like he isn’t using the sounds on the montage at all but personally I would have taken the stereo out from the montage and ran it through ableton as well. Then you can just use it like any other VST he uses including plugin effects like grain delay.
@@patchua485 I think that is a cool feature of the Montage 8 - thank you for pointing that out! I don't believe he is using the Montage as an audio interface - the grey thing under his laptop is his audio interface. He has multiple outputs for tracks, cues, clicks and his keys (likely 4 more channels devoted to his keys sounds)
How come Ian’s products are no longer on Multitracks?
Great content . Thanks for sharing
Great conversation .
Need his montage 8
Me too.

on pads instead of just playing chords to fill in the blank space what is something else you can play?
there is also something called a drone that hold the 1st and 5th note as long as you want
Keyboardists can't play much in these acoustic rock songs which is dominated by distortion guitars.
The point of pads--in my experience--is just to create that nice sound palette like he demonstrates. They're not really a melodic tool
What audio interface is he using?
The Montage 8 in itself can be an Audio Interface. :). He is probably using it here.

I think he is connected directly to the mixer via Dante.

Ian "first and foremost" Macintosh.
Sad to see that the synthesizer has been delegated only to chordal padfill blank spaces in CCM.
I mean...maybe between 1978 and 2012...
Husky Prince And Bass Guitar has been relegated to playing tonal hums, shifting every measure or two. THAT’S sad.
it's like they didn't know each other before
Konstantin Parkhomenko its like everything they say is a revelations to the rest of the band.
Man and I thought my Guitar rig was complicated.
$4000 music workstation. Picks 1 patch and uses completely separate software to customize it. Interesting.
