What's the one piece of gear you'd add to your dream DAWless setup? Let me know and I'll try my best to help you integrate it!
That's a no-bullshit setup that makes a lot of sense.
I must have notebooks to write lyrics down, jot notes down on what things I’ve done to tracks, etc etc. Pen and paper will never stop being perfectly modern and futuristic. It’s too practical.
LOVE THE MODEL 12 SET UP!
Great video, thank you
Such an unusual set-up, interesting and refreshing.
And I love "I won't have empty
mixer input staring me in the face and
catalyzing that nasty gear acquisition
fire that burns deep inside me"
which I will be using as a mantra for my daily meditations ;)
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it! That quote is straight out of real life haha 😁
Definitely would like to know about your guitar's body shape. I just fiddle with a guitar. Recently switched from a single cut squire baritone to a schecter c-6 elite. Kind of miss the way the plain old tele body behaved.
Thanks for sharing your setup!
My productivity and enjoyment have skyrocketed since i ditched the daw and got a tascam model 12. I should have done it years ago.. i cannot emphasise enough how good the analogue preamps sound ! Im sticking with hardware 👍
Absolutely! I do think it's this new wave of mixer/recorders (Model 12, Livetrak and Bluebox) that were the missing piece that made ditching the DAW an easy decision for me.
Certainly the best way to l got a very bad back with using computer recording DAWs all my stuff is placed within easy reach. I stand up for keyboard playing but not more than an hour, playing guitar sat up on my bed is best for me, guitar pedals loopers and mixers monitors drum machine iPads and multi track recorders all at arms length on shelves next to me, being comfortable is important when creating music. Good luck with your music ❤❤
Thanks Paul! Absolutely, ergonomics are key for me too. If it hurts, I won't stand for it :) Especially when it comes to guitar. It's one of the reasons why I went headless for the guitar, and that will be my next video. Thanks for watching and good luck!
Sold on the 1st sentence: Making music on a computer screen sucks! 😂 subbed
A lot of people scoff at the term DAWLESS.... but I wouldn't have it any other way! Always glad to see there's more of us friend 😄
The only thing that keeps me using a DAW (Reaper, the only DAW with a sensible setup) are the great plugins you can use, and the capabilities they have. But aesthetically, I very much prefer good multitracks, such as the Boss BR-1600 I have. I began with a Teac 4-track cassette in 1981, and having a way to lay multiple tracks seemed really wild then. It caused a lot of good times.
That's true, there are a lot of great plugins in DAWs, but the temptation to buy new ones was always breathing down my neck when I was a full time DAW user :) I haven't heard of the Boss BR-1600 before, thanks for bringing that to my attention! I'll actually be publishing the video about my mixer/recorder tomorrow, so stay tuned for that one. It's a continuation of what the mighty Teac started all those decades ago!
I had a BR 1600 for a little while and had to sell it. Can you use it as a DAW controller at all? I know it's getting on a bit but I really like it. Otherwise I'll have to go for the Tascam model he uses in this video (I started off on a Tascam tape 4 track. So much fun)... thanks.
@@titmusspaultpaul5 Whenever I try to get into the deeper features with a DAW, it gets convoluted and confusing, and if I think I’m in the mode to do what I want to attempt, then I engage it, either nothing happens at all, or very strange things happen which destroys my project. I think it likely that via some sort of MIDI setup, what you described could be done, but I really don’t know, I’m afraid. Sorry I couldn’t help you. If you googled about, there’s every kind of instructional things out there, just a more obscure thing such as that may take some effort in order to happen upon. Maybe state it directly “Will a Boss BR-1600 work as a controller within a DAW”, and there will be something.
I bought a Tascam 32sd. Not sure if that is considered DAWless, but no computer screen.
Definitely. I think it's the infinite possibilities of the DAW that mark the key difference from recording to a mixer, which is much more straightforward in comparison, but also limited (which can sometimes be a good thing). That, and the mouse and keyboard interface which I never got along with for composing on a DAW.
I would add an Elektron Rytm and a Microcosm from Hologram 🫠
Excellent choice! Rytm seems to be the endgame for drum machines, it just takes up a bit more space than I can afford right now :D The Microcosm seems like an effect that crosses over into being an instrument... I'm debating between getting that or the Strymon Nightsky.
@@nedogled funny I was just debating over Nightsky and Meris merc x
