2 - a since-dead tree stood

Got in my wedge the other day, and decided to do a little coffee table jam.

equipment used:
korg monologue - bass/sequencing
arturia drumbrute impact - drums/clock
behringer deepmind12 - chords
alesis wedge - master reverb send
radio shack mx1000 - drum mixing/saturation
boss bx800 - master mix/effects send
tascam 424 mk1 - tape multitracking

Montage AfxBass [dm12 mono dbi] 135

EDIT x4: Alright, some further alterations to the mix. I think I'm getting the hang of this! (And version 14 now, yeesh) Started using vulf comp and wow control, great plugins.

Wanted to make some of that sweet sweet lofi chill/synthwave stuff, hadn't really tried to make anything like this before! So I got the studio hooked up to REAPER again, and did some hardcore sequencing.

For this, the JX-3P handles the main brass stab with delay, and the Poly61 carries the moving brass arp. Boog handles bass, and the TX16Wx sampler plugin handles some Linn, DMX and 707 samples for drums. JD800 comes in on flute/bottle blow, and TX81z on this kinda plonky square-wavey piano thing. MKS50 finally comes in near the breakdown with some squares as well.

Really fun to do, even shot a little video of it! I'll get that edited when I get back to work after this weekend. Whee!

Wanted to test out my DigDugDIY Purple Rain compressor, so I ran the Roland TR-8 through it into my old Radio Shack MX1000 line mixer. Kawai K1m handles other synth sounds, sequenced by the Squarp Pyramid. That also goes into the MX1000.

Then that all goes out to the Behringer Model D for filtering, and then that goes into the Alesis Wedge for splitting the signal into stereo. Recorded to tape on my Tascam 424 mk1.

Video coming soon!

Working on some more synthwavey chillwavey chillsynthy stuff, I've also actually got a little video put together showing kinda the halfway process!

Video showing bits of stuff, also VHS aesthetic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=js6MngWaj_U
Also video of the actual performancey bit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DK0A1ksXYTM

I've got an actual video of what ended up being the real track as well, I'm working on that now.

Equipment Used:
Roland JD-800 - Triplet pad strikes
Behringer Model D - Bass
Behringer Neutron - Brass arp
Behringer Deepmind12D - Sync stab
Akai AX80 - Strings
Roland JX-3P - Brass stab
707 and Drumtraks samples for drums

Lots of delay and lopass lol

Neon

Still doing some synthwave! This one took me forever to put together, started it right before I moved the setup out into the former unused dining room.

So, enjoy some more chillsynthwavevapor whatever this stuff is. I just like it a lot!

Equipment Used:
Roland JD-800 - First big pad
Roland JV-880 - Under the JD pad
Arturia Microfreak - Brass chord stabs
Roland JX-3P - Bass
Behringer Deepmind12D - Brass arps (after the first big gap with the MF)
Roland MKS-50 - Brass octaves
Yamaha TX81z - Flute solo!
Behringer Neutron - Extra brass bits to go with the MKS-50
Akai AX-80 - More brass lines

707, Linn and DMX drum samples

REAPER for sequencing/editing/automation what have you.

Alright, here's some actually good house. That last one is kinda piss poor, so have some beefier kicks and snares courtesy of the Tama Techstar TS-306
! Rest of perx is RX5, bass is neutron and chords are model D just like the last. Model D through Ibanez DM-1000 digital delay. Neato!

RXDET5 DBX

Alright, instead of a new track for day 6 of Jamuary, have something I've been sitting on for quite some time. This one comes from back in summer, never really got it ready for release or anything, but here it is in a pretty decent state!

Disc Rot

Alright, we've got a little jam going on! This time I'm trying out my weird dual camera set-up for VHS stuff in the studio. It works surprisingly well! Check the video out if you like fun VHS looks.

Time Travel

Heyyyy, it finally came in! Say hello to the MXR 185 drum computer, a fantastic little drum machine from the early 80s with an 8-bit punch. It's got a performance mixer, it's got live global drum tuning, it DOESN'T have MIDI, wowowow!

Anyways, I've got it spitting clicks out to the modular where the pulses get signal boosted to trigger manther's sequencer clock and also microfreak's sequencer clock as well. That seemed remarkably stable and kept everything nice and tight.

Obviously, manther is on bass and goes through the Tascam GS-30 guitar cab sim. Then the microfreak goes through the Dreadbox Hypnosis after the eurorack (with some more delay from the Blue Lantern stereo delay). Overall, not my most complicated track but probably one of the most fun I've had in a while. That dedicated performance mixer is just amazing, it's really making me miss my TR-707 that I never got a chance to send out for repairs before the quarantine hit. Ah well, soon I'll have the two of them playing off each other for an infinite well of sounds from house to techno to synthwave. Great!

PS - 185

This one is a doozie, and I've got a multicam'd video to boot! So, it's me on tenor sax, p-bass, and synths/drum machines. I've got the MXR 185 paired with the RD-8 (TR-808 clone) for some serious 80s vibes, and then we've got a whole bunch of stuff either self-sequenced (MS-101 and JX-3P), or live played (DW-8000 noise sweeps).

Check the video out if you get a chance! It's really neato. I may go in depth on how I recorded this tomorrow if I get a chance, it's a little interesting.

I got an octatrack! I've got it in a stand with my Rytm so that I can feed the rytm's outs into the octa AB input for live sampling and stuff. Plus that frees up another two channels on the 246, so I can could combine this all with the modular or something to that effect hopefully.

But yeah, it's some really limited Octatrack stuff, but I literally just got it this afternoon and I didn't start till like 11 and it's only 2 so ehhhh

Radust

Doing some more wonky stuff, this is some weirdly sinister sounding house. Kinda appropriate for the season, eh?

Testing stuff in the studio. Got a vid of this on the youtubes.
