FM8 is great for figuring out operator relationships because the partial view updates in real time as you edit the matrix, so once you see what self-modulating, chaining modulators etc. actually does to the spectrum it becomes kinda intuitive

I got launchpad pro because at the time I needed the ability to set up a custom grid sending two octaves to four midi channels and that's piss easy with novation's component system

writing a plugin with xcode sounds extreme
With JUCE it's almost like SynthEdit, you can just snap premade filters together and it has a GUI editor

I have the first revision of the UMC0204 which doesn't reliably work in samplerates above 44.1, Behringer tried putting out multiple firmware updates to fix it, gave up, removed the SKU and released the UMC0204HD :mad:

sorry if this is actually something that classical composers have to put up with and there is no easy way out. requiring 100+ gigs of memory is still firmly in video/3d artist realm for me
it's easier to run a full-scale mockup on a single machine now but having multiple slave pcs running vienna ensemble to handle individual orchestra sections is the standard for pros. you edit your arrangement on your main workstation but get audio back from all the other ones, kind of like working with rack modules. I guess you could compare it to a real-time render farm

i really wish that some of these companies would offer 'hobbiest' discounts because the barrier to entry is an insane amount of money. but i also understand that it's a very limited appeal product that's staggeringly expensive to produce.
we are very much at hobbyist prices rn, vsl symphonic cube used to cost twelve thousand american dollars

also the hw solo violin can be pretty good if you solo one of the close mics (the L/R channel only options ministry of rock guitars use to switch between DI and amped) so it doesn't jump around so much

maybe this is too far off topic, but can anyone recommend a good usb-c dac?

the two good models I know (NwAvGuy's Objective DAC and the Atom DAC from JDS Labs) use Micro USB and USB Type B respectively, is a dongle out of the question?

this is technically true, in the same sense “VIM is generally one of the fastest ways to edit text”. it certainly can be but there’s a learning curve and you’d better be ready to commit a lot of stuff to muscle memory

oh poo poo oh god

best I can do in text is that if you sing and hum to yourself a lot it's fantastic for naturally grokking four part harmony. might need to kill the part of you that cringes first, especially if you were raised in a city. maybe you've noticed that a lot of people seem to be able to sing second voice to random songs without really being able to explain it. you can practice and build on that! solfege as a practice depended on this. ime just being able to imagine the 2-4 part voice leading from a melody you thought up is usually enough to sit down at a sequencer and bang out all parts without thinking
