@johncave Almost certainly... and may a bit of polish added to that demo as well. Now I'm tempted to make a library for it just purely out of curiosity just to see how far I can push it

Roland S-770[quote data-userid="3" data-postid="344"]
A roland rack thing that kind of looks like those fancy high tech cd players they had in cars lol[/quote]
Hahaha it really does
Yeah thats the last rack unit Roland ever made, basically every single SR and XV expansion for the JV and XV synths. Instead of individual expansion cards, they put them all into one unit. Its basically a giant rompler on steroids. You can even upload Roland compatible waveforms into it (I have all the original 303, 808, 909 and D50 waveforms loaded into it atm). It's pretty insane and my most used rack next to the Motif. If you've ever used Zenology, its basically that in hardware.

Shoot By Mistake - MASTER@johncave
Hi John,All set:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-71jUQPkUNBrMKMlR7cJQSbYP0gLKN4D/view?usp=drive_link
I took a slightly different approach to it than the old mix, but I think this one sounds better overall. Let me know what you think. If you dig it, I'll start on the next one! - J

Elektron Emulators[quote data-userid="3" data-postid="336"]

Speaking of... this dude emulated the dacs on a Playsation... pretty soon there will be nothing left to emulate. Even my toaster will be emulated lol

Roland S-770Was this the one you were talking about? Ive owned a few dedicated sampler in my days but never a Roland sampler. The XV5080 I owned was the closest, it wasnt a tradition sampler in that you could record into and edit/chop things but you could load sample into it like the Blofeld and it sounded really nice. Thats always something Roland got right, all their boxes sounded great.

Elektron Emulators[quote data-userid="3" data-postid="336"]
@aymatYaa I've seem em. So many new emulators popping up recently. Definitely going to try a few of them when I get my mac. I know I don't have the processing power right now after I tried some of the usual suspects things a few months ago.
Genuinely excited to give them a go.
Elektron boxes are the shitttttt. Always thought they seemed like hipster nonsense but god I love my analog rytm and I love talking about how much I love it. Seems like a drum machine but it's really an entire groovebox. If you find some single cycle waveform samples and load them into each sample slot set to loop mode you can effectively have 12 simultaneous oscillators... on top of the native dual VCO mode you can set some channels to (which can give you some killer detuned analog trance leads!!). Did I mention a multimode analog filter per channel (so 12 of them!!! AND they sound bloody gorgeous). I'd feel like such a chud having a studio full of only elektron boxes, but fuck I get it. And I've never heard a better overdrive/drive algorithm in my LIFE (SO CRUNCHY!!).

You dont have to tell me... Im a goovebox producer till I die lol. I LOVE grooveboxes and drum machines. Thats what I learned on so Ive always had a soft spot for them. Never pulled the trigger on Elektron though, the only thing I own from them is a usb hub lol, rock solid I must say haha
Someday when I have infinite time and money I'll pull the trigger, might have to set up a session with you so you can show the ropes

Blofeld Master[quote data-userid="3" data-postid="335"]
Yaa this guy definitely knows its sweet spots. These are the most blofeldy sounds imaginable. Tbf I have fond memories of the blofeld helping me find my style. Should probably keep it. The steppy encoders PISS ME OFF!!!!It's gorgeous...

It really is a incredibly synth.... I still think it excels mainly with pads, for everything else though....
Dude... this right here... absurd:

No-ID Studio and Session with Jimmy DouglasNot sure if you're familiar with No-ID (he's a producer that has worked with Kanye and JayZ) but these two vids are an awesome look not only into his studio (which borders of insanity
), but his approach to sessions with his co-producer Jimmy Douglas. We all have different approaches to mixing , but there's something I really liked that Jimmy mentions in at 7:40 which is his approach to mixing which I found really interesting, or as he calls it "addition, not subtraction". He focuses on creating headroom so increase loudness, which seems obvious enough but is something we sometimes lose track of. I tend to go the opposite direction because I tend to start with really dense mixes and I find I have to pull back or remove elements in a mix to create more space, and I think a lot of how we mix is dictated by genre and what sounds right to us. Interesting nevertheless. -
Blofeld MasterNot sure if youre familiar with this dude, he's been around for a minute on yt but he easily has the best Blofeld content imo ... the dude can program the hell out of it and make it sound gorgeous:
