pollyanna i bought a fat audio interface (8i6) so i wouldn't need a mixer and it was a mistake. i would've been better served with a mixer going into a much smaller interface, and it probably would've been cheaper

i got my mac studio a couple days ago and installed ableton and some plugins, but i'm still missing a lot of others. probably gonna spend a lot of time this weekend messing with plugins and installers and stuff can't wait to gently caress with serum without pegging my cpu

Internaut! posted:besides Logic is there anything in pro audio land that’s apple silicon native yet? I’m shopping for a new laptop and was gonna go MBP until I found out everything I use (ableton, NI, Arturia etc) is still running under Rosetta ableton is. stuff i read said that you couldn't run apple silicon ableton with x86_64 plugins but it seems to be working fine for me. native instrument stuff isn't apple silicon for the most part; i think soundtoys stuff is in testing, not sure if it's landed yet. idk about serum (but it works fine); not sure about arturia i know that i have rosetta installed. maybe ableton is switching over or somethign, even though im launching in apple-silicon mode? i wouldn't worry too much about things being apple-silicon-native, really, unless that last 20% or w/e is a real gamechanger e: i searched google, apparently serum is m1 now e2: oh it's a little more complicated than "can't use intel plugins with m1 ableton". basically you can't use intel VSTs or VST3s with it, but audio unit plugins work across architectures. cool. https://help.ableton.com/hc/en-us/articles/4410323149074-Plug-ins-on-Mac-in-Live-11-1 Achmed Jones fucked around with this message at 16:43 on Apr 28, 2022 |

idk, it's a clone of a synth that's over 40 years old, the fact that it _could_ sequence was probably cool back in the day. but it was a commercial failure, and ended up in bargain bins and pawn shops, then acid house happened after it'd already been discontinued bc people could get em for cheap and make cool poo poo

i wrote a midi plugin that basically does that. whatever scale you pick now goes on the white keys, and black keys are chords it makes it easier to not know how to play keys

take some time off pollyanna and spend it making boops for yourself and no one else when you took the job it probably had 3 weeks of vacation but now it has 4. that extra week is the pollyanna make music week* *ofc it's fine if you decide you'd rather do something else as long as it's for you and not somebody else but for real take some time off

i really hope that's you saying that and not your manager/TL, cause if not you need a new team. deadlines are for legal obligations and external product launches. everything else is a projection and can slide with little to no consequence (unless mgmt decides to _make_ a consequence, in which case gently caress em new team time!)

oh god so many projects named "arpy" "space" "billy bass" and other dumb poo poo i think the "arpy" project has like 10 tracks in it, none actually laid out, just a bunch of terrible poo poo i can make terrible jams for ugh i've hardly made anything since i got a new computer specifically so i could make music easier it's been a hard few months, that's gonna be my excuse

i got a bonus at work and i haven't actually used one of those for a nice toy for myself in literal years at this point. so i bought a new mic and an antenna for radio stuff and i still have some money left that im gonna spend on music stuff but i haven't decided what yet im thinkin either a guitar pedal or some kinda synth. im leaning synth since i can do so much with Guitar Rig and im pretty bad at guitar. maybe a cool controller or similar that could drive VSTs. not gonna spend more than $400. i have a td3 and a launchkey mini. my default is a $40 behrenger fuzz pedal clone or something like that. or destroy the budget and get a hydra synth. but i thought id see if any of y'all have recs for sick synths or keyboards/midi controllers in that price range. im obviously not gonna just buy something without researching it so feel free to use as much or as little detail as you want thanks!

Jonny 290 posted:i picked up an mpk mini and it's great for doodling on synths the launchkey mini is this: i think i went with the launchkey over the mpk cause it was supposed to have better ableton control or whatever. but i dont use its actual ableton junk at all tbh, i use the computer for triggers and use the pads like drum pads. the launch part of launchkey is useless to me

i got ableton set up again finally after wiping my computer and had some great jams. at one point i had my keys going into ableton attached to a drum machine, but also midi going into my td3, so the notes were triggering both drums and synth. turn on arp mode and holy poo poo is that fun to play with

I got my NTG-1 shotgun mic, and it's not any better for my purposes than my NT1. So I'm returning it, and now my "gently caress around music toy" budget has increased by a bit over $200 Let's be real, I'll almost certainly end up getting nothing and spending it on groceries, but I'm _trying_ to spend it on something for myself! I swear!

idk the difference between a $200 and a $2000 one but a $200 mic sounds way better than a $20 one. it's a lot more obvious when you're micing instruments or singing than when you're just using it for regular ol speech. more sensitive, better frequency response, etc. and different mics will have different sounds to them (flat or whatever)

i spent a lot of time yesterday trying to figure out why my new (from goodwill) mixer was suddenly making everything lovely and crackly then i realized it wasn't the mixer, it was my td3. so i spent a lot more time troubleshooting it it turns out that when the td3 is behind the mixer (probably bc it's close to the power supply), it gets some RFI that makes it sound bad. if I put it in front of the mixer, it sounds fine. if i have it to the front of the mixer _and also to the right_, it sounds bad again. so it just lives in front of the mixer, and it's slightly harder to get to my little keyboard (but not so hard that i wont be able to continue messing with it during meetings)

the focusrite line of interfaces is good; i use one and music sounds great. it's probably overkill to get one if you don't care about input though. but i can't think of too many times i'd want a dac that a little headphone amp wouldn't work just as well anyway almost nothing that's USB is going to care what's on the other end of the cable, small exception for stuff that's weird wrt. usb 2 vs usb 3 but even that's pretty rare when you aren't talking boot devices (though I've seen some fuckery with ISP flashers)

fwiw it's easy to set "this track gets input from THIS midi, this other track gets input from THIS OTHER midi" in ableton. you probably either have or can get a copy of live lite for free. if not lmk and i'll see if i can give you mine (i have the full version, no need for lite version)

echi what's so special about that one? affinity squier strats are $250 and the classic vibes are $400 or so. im sure theyre more expensive in NZ, but it's kind of odd to me seeing someone pay $300 for a used, rusty squier strat

that's why i stopped worrying too much about finishing songs. i don't have fun doing the last 10% of songwriting. i do have fun on the first 90%. so i just do that over and over and it rules. i am much more concerned with what little jones thinks than if somebody i've never met has something i made in their music library

im_sorry posted:I impulse bought the collection because I've spent so much on Arturia crap over the years, it was only $69. I haven't even really touched a DAW in about a month... I've been mostly firing up the SR-16 (and lately the Microfreak with the arpeggiator set to latch and random) as a backing track to playing along with. It gets interesting when Lola the cat decides to climb up onto the Microfreak and set an arpeggio. if you get a chance to play with it, please let me know what you think! Preferably before the sale is over for obvious reasons lol

after being annoyed for years that the line level inputs on my interface are way too quiet on my synth, drum machine, etc - and getting really sick of everything i found talking about instrument/mic levels vs line levels - i finally learned that there are two different standards for line level audio. consumer stuff - synths, etc - use -10dbv for consumer stuff vs 4dbu for pro audio stuff like my interface i am very annoyed that this exists, but at least i know now.
