ryzens are great and I'm hoping to grab one on the cheap when AM5 hits and early adopters start making bad decisions. I have a dual socket 8C/16T sandy bridge xeon box that I want to upgrade to something that'll use half the power and not take five minutes to POST as well as having maybe an M.2 slot or two a single 5600 would probably quadruple my perf/watt ratio Kazinsal fucked around with this message at 06:26 on Oct 18, 2021 |

almost done now with 3 pieces, and im going to put together a server to run kontakt at the very least going to build one using 7401P epyc processors since you can get them for $250-300 each. two of those, a dual socket mobo ($700-800), 256 gb of ram ($800-900). 96 threads, ~50% faster than a single 5950X ryzen, with upgradability to 512 gb of ram. probably put together some custom enclosure for it with liquid cooling to keep it nice and quiet and running well forever. edit: oh yeah at suggestion of friends changed my name https://soundcloud.com/poltzart

im_sorry posted:I will check this out, since I like krautrock. Have you ever heard of Cloud 9 and the Vitamin C? A really obscure band from Germany that broke up before doing any proper releases... which was actually sad as gently caress, since their music ruled. One of the members of the band archived a bunch of their stuff (http://homemade-lofi-psychedelic.blogspot.com/search/label/artist%3A%20Cloud%20Nine%20and%20The%20Vitamin%20C%20%28GER%29 and https://homemade-lofi-psychedelic.blogspot.com/search/label/artist%3A%20Cloud%20Nine%20%28GER%29) holy poo poo there is an entire magical world in there, thanks a lot!

I've been following it since about 2010, and discovered sooooo much good music as a result. It went dormant a few years ago, but they started posting occasionally again. The first thing I discovered here was http://homemade-lofi-psychedelic.blogspot.com/2009/12/full-dimensional-exhale-usa-1995.html - I'm pretty sure at least one of the links to the download still works. This album is loving great, and for years was the album I'd play when I harvested my weed plants.

there used to be a blog called chris goes rocks or something like that, and they posted incredible amounts of obscure 70s psych bands that never made it big for various reasons unrelated to how cool their music was i guess that one is lost forever... for now

this is all crap i did for the guitar thread like half a year ago when i was just getting back into playing guitar, but i actually kinda like it. i have no idea what i'm doing as a recording engineer and all that but i figured i'd offer it up since i really enjoy everyone else's postings in here. this is an attempt at doing the doc mcstuffins theme in a stax r&b vibe, my daughter was watching at the time and the tune was constantly stuck in my head: https://soundcloud.com/user-283720154/doc_v2/s-ygpwewQef1r?si=adf5ce1a66264847869d6f32f3e15aca i was like, someone suggest a tune i can do and they suggested godzilla from the blue oyster cult so: https://soundcloud.com/user-283720154/godzilla/s-aZmO5yUY2ti?si=4b96ca32fba442e58804d88286a88dcf as a goof since there was so much clapton hate in the thread i tried a john scofield does politician track, probably the weakest offering but: https://soundcloud.com/user-283720154/politician/s-xIcl7gO9sfx?si=e31165a5bba74d2f83e4cbd3e89296c9 anyhow thank you for your consideration, this is all bad but i was doing my best.

echinopsis posted:thinking about live performance.. the best easiest is a strymon deco, a screwdriver gets you in to a jumper that makes the input stereo. the saturation half gives the kind of compression found in magnetic tape, which sounds good to most everyone if you feel like you don’t wanna be a musician, are missing hardware distortion, and need more to fiddle with, the elektron analog heat gives you more. mk1’s are fine and should be lots cheaper than the newer mk2s a good balance between the two is the oto boum, but good luck getting one while the world’s on fire. single-knob compression control, all the distortion types are useful, but man does the volume change when hitting the drive knob and finding the counter-turn on the level take practice

cross postin' from another thread messing with some trumpet soundsquote:I put together a few examples for you. There's 4 tracks on the playlist. The first 3 are parts of the Hummel Concerto Mvmt 3. I just grabbed a midi for it and spent a little bit of time cleaning it up but it's nowhere near perfect so keep that in mind. The WIP is part of a longer piece I'm putting together for a D&D campaign some friends and I are doing. I have 2 pieces that are nearly finished now, and another that has a really good start that I need to build out a bit more. I've been laying out the modular board for my mixing console and hopefully will have some time this evening to do a bit more on it.

thanks mate yeah drat I’ve read people talking about the synth I got and some criticisms are “it’s a vst in a box” and then other people saying “yeah but that’s totally missing the point, that the UI and workflow, along with polyphonic aftertouch, make it utterly an instrument, that encourages experimentation and it’s workflow is inspiring” or something I never would have guessed getting an actual physical synth would be so life changing for me. even compared to a midi keyboard, it just doesn’t compare. it brings back the feeling I had as a teenager and had just discovered drop D lol. someone here once said something like, why drop money on a single synth where I can have all the instruments in the world in my DAW, but drat that person needs to get something like this in their hands to see what I am talking about I get so much enjoyment out of playing it. what’s hard to keep in mind, and as I listen back to my track I can tell I get so lost in making it that I forget to keep it shorter and more interesting. like I love some of those feedback like sounds I get in that track but the overall track is too long and boring lol. I also find it challenging to find the right way to add drums. I need to start sampling more real life things.

i got sick of my bass humming so i started looking around. almost hit up a $189 EMG set but they were weeks out of stock. found a guy that sells rail style humbuckers for 5 string j's and when i saw the price i clicked buy so fast evidently they're very well reviewed too. https://www.ebay.com/itm/273152234673

nice man. my new pickups I got, I think I wired incorrectly. They work but no idea if they could work better. I actually love how simple guitar amplification is really, there isn’t any kind of conversion needed, simply amplify. I made a patch recently and it sounds a bit like guitar feedback and it’s wicked as poo poo... the first bit of tools “triad” song that has adam playing with a lot of feedback is pretty much peak music I love that sound so god drat much lol

well thats the fun of guitar pickups, they're so simple that you can wire them 'wrong' and just get some new sounds. with a 4 wire setup you can do regular, series, parallel, coil split, etc. my old guitar has three EMG's and from the factory it was drilled for toggle switches for each. there's no switch slot. its so rad. so you can turn them on in any combination or go to 1 and use the toggle as a kill switch y thing

I suppose I’m curious if Ive wired it in a way that is detrimental. When I play hard but thru clean, it sounds like poo poo lol. I took the easy road and just plugged new one in and wasn’t till had put it back together I realised they were only physically compatible not the same wiring wise. seymour duncan invaders they’re the poo poo lol

yeah 4 wire passive humbuckers, you would probably want something like this (ignore all the switch stuff, the important thing is that you connect those two wires together and tape em off)

nice i'm playing with turning my quintet thing in to a full ensemble for fun and am already up against the processing power of my 5950X  if i get offered the job i interviewed for last week it might be time to start building servers to handle it current plan is 2x epyc 7401P processors per mobo with 256 gb of ram. will give me 96 threads to work with. build 2 of those and put them in a custom enclosure with water cooling to keep the volume down. no video card needed so they can stay slim and mount them in a server rack. use audiogridder to handle the network part so i can run the server plugin on my desktop. then i can build out more of those if i need to. ultimate goal is to have every instrument/articulation/synth etc loaded at all times so i never need to wait for things to load/have to use cached memory on my desktop which causes popping the first time a sample is played that isn't in memory. yes it's completely overboard and insane but why do something if you aren't going to take it to the extreme?
