I bought a little Fuji mirrorless camera and it's great. I have the 27mm prime and it'll fit in my jorts pocket also redid the drivetrain on my bike that I can't ride outside repaired my tent for the camping i can't do. had to hold it down overnight in a wind storm with lava rocks and they tore the he*k out of it. other than that idk, computers are terrible and tech poo poo is worthless trash that isn't worth having ------- posts below here have to be nice to me

New Zealand can now order “basic essential items” now. which includes: fridges, kettles, heaters and laptops. little Indy stores that I bought a RAM chip off in 2006 are now since the first time since my initial and only purchase are now emailing me saying that I can buy laptops from them now.

I will put my entire heart behind buying a Bass Station II especially second hand as the price is exceptional for what you get. and if you get a usb sound interface too then the world is your oyster as the BS2 works as a midi keyboard but can also produce a never ending range of mono synth tones

get an actual stereo and a record player and you could spend an eternity adjusting speaker toe in, eq, tracking force, headshell angle and looking stuff up on discogs if you get a subwoofer too that unlocks a whole other set of variables to constantly tweak

Asleep Style posted:Get a musical instrument op yep that’s what I’m saying the bass station II is the mother loving poo poo, and I use it in ableton live to control midi and see right now for example arturia have a sale and are selling some collection for $250 usd and it simulates loads of old analog synths so it’s like having all those synths on hand nothing compares to actually fiddling knobs on a real synth but then again big poly synths costs thousands I want a novation summit synth. wanna be able to play huge pads and fill my living room with vibrations last time I took acid I had the synth playing a slow evolving sound. it made me feel. probably wasn’t as good as playing real music by real musician but it was pretty fun. would have been epic as poo poo if it was a big synth I’m thinking about looking at getting serum synth vst. you can buy it for $10 a week for 20 weeks until it’s yours. makes it pretty affordable. that’s my consumerism story

echinopsis posted:yep that’s what I’m saying eh. I don't disagree that knob fiddling is fun but I think dedicated knobs and especially all that eurorack poo poo is way way overrated and straps you down to a very slow workflow the better approach is soft synths and a bunch of endless rotary encoders on some fader box. that way you can switch between tracks that you're working on without trying to set all the knobs and patches the way they were. if you work on one song at a time from start to final mixdown, hardware stuff is a-ok. but i flip back and forth between 3-4 of them at any given moment

oh yeah for sure. I guess what I meant was that having direct control of a bunch of variables is a different league to just doing one at a time with a mouse I would love the perfect midi keyboard with knobs and finger drum pads but none stand out above the rest

Oh yeah gently caress trying to do stuff in a monitor. I have a big 24 switch pedalboard I made with a UMC32 and a shitload of those big stompy switches to let me trigger loops and such https://www.sparkfun.com/products/retired/10531 the i/o's support potentiometers so if one could get their hands on one of these (sadly theyre out of prod) you could build your own midi fader box with whatever controls you wanted

I haven’t tried to mix my OP-20 in with anything the OP-Z and OP-1 are full modern instruments and work with general MIDI stuff via USB from what I understand at least OP-Z even has an add on that gives you a connector that can be adapted to a traditional MIDI (they sell the adapter, it’s needed because MIDI is chonk and the OP-Z is slim)

confirming that pocket operators rule. my PO-32 is great I don't much care for the op-1 or op-z but I've never been able to play with them, so this is mostly me saying that I don't like the way they look

You should by a Fujifilm and then a Pentax Me/MX, stock up on funny 35mm and make the daily outing you take from your shelter be a forced camera trip where you force yourself to take pictures of everyting to get gud noob...

literally posted this today https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ycoNHknEZA its just 8 bars repeating and slowly evolving, it's not a song as such. wanted to make my first music video where I made all of it. bit of a hello world in that regard honestly man I don't know what to think about what you just said, I find it hard to believe. thankyou though. that's a good feeling. which is I really wrestle with it, and I came to the conclusion that making something that is pleasing to my own ear is enough. that's all it needs to be, doesn't need to be even a song, just sounds. songs would be good but they take more time. but regardless, spending time doing that is time well spent

if you can actually play the piano, even a bit, it is 100% worth it to get a weighted keyboard. i have a yamaha p-115 and it feels way better than their lower end models without the weighting. also you can hook it up to a computer and do synth stuff and it's rad as hell. make sure to use the ASIO4ALL driver so that you get real time response.
