Re: Ableton CV Tools

Would be neat though to use my Fireface for modular shenanigans. Is it as simple as using a split cable like the one depicted on the page to connect the (in this case) headphone output to a CV input on my Eurorack? Yes, pretty much. I have a UCX and used VCV to send gates and CV to my semi-modular ...

The Gens had a build up of bass at the backside (to the wall). So when I moved around there was a huge difference in the lows.
The S8's are more constant in that region so I would say the low is more linear (when you move around!.
Yes, the sweet spot is incredibly wide on these.

Re: Another mid budget monitor thread

Since i payed that amount of money, one would expect them to be perfect, but company also offered me to keep them for discounted price of almost 50%.. Based on nothing more than my intuition, I think Presonus are not lying to you that it's a purely cosmetic issue. So if I were in your position, I w...

Re: Guitar Pedals

I'm personally a big fan of all these cheap clone pedals (Joyo, Caline, etc). You are getting pretty much the exact same sound/circuits as the pedals they are cloning. So whether to get them or not mostly comes down to ethics and reliability. I'm not going to touch the ethics question. But as far as...

Re: Favorite soft synths? (2k19 edition)

I hardly use soft synths any more after getting back into hardware. But when I do, I tend to reach for Serum by default, if I'm creating something from scratch. And then I use Pad Shop Pro (granular) and Harmor mostly to process/resample things I created elsewhere. Guitars, drums, foley, whatever, I...

Re: Time to buy hardware

I created this topic to change my mind and get more experienced people's opinion to make the best decision. So i will listen to the advices and look into another direction than the DFAM for my first piece of gear Good. I love my DFAM and there's nothing else quite like it out there, but it's pretty...

Re: Arturia Minibrute 2

I am looking to get a synth for low end and was thinking the minibrute 2s. I know there are other monos out there that are better for bass but I like the semi-modular nature of the MB2s as it opens up more possibilities. anyone want to change my mind? budget 500 quid. I like my MB2s for what it is,...

Re: Another mid budget monitor thread

Does anyone have experience or opinions on the Temblor T10 matching sub for the Scepters? Since I now see that the Scepters don't have crazy unwieldy bass, I'm thinking of possibly picking one up just to do sanity checks once in a while. Looks like I can get a b-stock/demo for about 250 bucks, which...

Re: Another mid budget monitor thread

Finally sold my Mackies this week and the S8s came in today. First impressions: definitely feel much flatter than the Mackies (824 MKI), as there was this initial moment of just being kind of underwhelmed by the sound, as compared to the more "hi-fi" and hyped Mackies. Definitely not as much low end...

Re: Another mid budget monitor thread

SC207 vs Scepter S8 vs KH120A? Upgrading from Mackie HR824. My room is treated, but on a smaller side - 4x3 meters. Really leaning towards SC207. I think 8" is too big for my room. But heard that KH120A don't produce a whole lot of low end and that 5.25" speaker is too small. So SC207 seems to be in...

Re: Deepmind

So I've had my DM12D for a few days now. I'm not sure why I was still surprised by the built quality, even though I own like 5 different Behringer pieces and they are all very solid. But, yeah, it's much heavier than I expected, sliders and knobs feel just fine. Spent a few hours going through the f...

Such a deadly disease. My 12D is on the way. Just picked one up for $400 US, thanks to site-wide coupon for Ebay today. Crazy.

Re: Pitfalls

this might also be a common pitfall: no commitment to the own sounds and keeping it all in midi to have the possibility to change it later on, instead to just bounce it and let the inspiration flow. Yes, this is definitely a big one. About a year ago I jumped back into using hardware after being pr...

Re: What DAW are all y'all tech nerds using?

Cubase user here. Overall, happy with it and I know it really well, so don't feel like it's worth the effort to switch to anything else. At this point, I think pretty much all DAWs are more than capable and they all seem to be kind of converging. New versions are just incremental refinements and the...

Not knowing where to go. I often struggle because i like so much styles and haven't find a way to distil my own approach from this. This really eats inspiration sometimes. SO much this.
