Cool vid, mate

Mavis loves big knobs

I'm lucky enough to have free time while working night shifts and use vcv on my laptop. Its great to experiment and i often bounce audio and play it in my car for the drive home. It's very useful but it's definitely not fun compared to my eurorack. Anyhoo nice videos

One of the most important parts of VCV RACK FREE for me is that it is free, to be clear the free version has no limit put on it further than you have to use it as a separate program as apposed to a plugin. I cant afford a modular system and that is a barrier for a lot of people.

Excellent study - thanks for sharing. The set-up looks ideal even down to the cabals, I know lots of cables distracts me. So I am about to rebuild my set-up to include Perkons (will insert some effects using the I/O), Push 3, Digitakt 2, Zen Delay and OTO BAM. I will use Push 3 as controller (not standalone) and have the MacBook sitting away not even been seen!. Will only dive into Live when needed. Want to spend most of my time, experimenting with sound and having the ability to swap out the DT2 and or the Perskons for alternate hardware). Record and sample (don't have an audio interface and the Push 3 does + ADAT). The Push 3 becomes my suitcase to store and arrange my recordings and samples. I truely want to learn the perform the Perkons and that is a masterpiece! So it will be; 1. Push 3 as a controller - Ableton Live (MacBook Pro not to be seen!) 2. Perkons (swappable with LRX/Syntakt) 3. DT2 (swappable with whatever I want to add) 4. Hardware effects rack/section (again allowing for additions/swap-ability) currently Zen Delay/OTO BAM/AH+FX (this is too bulky) so might just keep the Zen Delay and add Erica Synths Night Verb and remove the rest. 5. Lastly a small midi controller (faders/knobs) to map to the Push 3 macros and internal effects for live performance. My space is minimal so need to keep everything minimal including cabling and power supplies.

Thank you....great demo

That thing sounds nothing like a real Jupiter 8. Not by a long shot. It sounds like a dull VST, even though it's a hardware synth.

is that a heritage audio interface? you said you are using your apollo but whats the heritage audio interface for? Just curious thanks

Don’t forget VCV rack. It’s free and and incredible. Most of Instruo’s modules are available with it for free, mutable interments as well, and you can pay for ALM modules if you feel like it. Spend that initial learning time here, but don’t type or undo knob turns if you plan to move to hardware. Who knows VCV rack maybe what you wanted anyway and you can buy the full version to integrate into your daw for $150 which less than some real modules.

Cool studio. Did you not keep the Perkons? I’m considering buying it.

Reverb started to really go down once Etsy purchased them.

Thanks so much for sharing your experience installing our Bass Traps Panels! We know installing anything on the ceiling can be daunting, so we are always looking for ways to improve the process and make things easier! Your feedback was super helpful. Thanks again for sharing, and we hope you are enjoying the new acoustic treatments. Best, -Graham

I think the criticisms you offer are the fairest and most balanced and reasonable I've seen on a channel reviewing music kit 👍 Doesn't put me off at all but even over the video I thought, that clicking seems annoying 😂

There are no joists in my ceiling. So I’m having to distribute the weight across a lot more screws in the plasterboard.

What Genelec model do you use?

My mini home studio is underneath my loft bed. Gotta tell you the sound treatment of having a king size mattress right above your head is pretty good. It’s pretty cramped though. But for a hobbyist musician it’s pretty good.

Just got an Ultra_Perc. Great for cymbals/perc. Just because you filled the case doesn't mean you can swap modules in/out. hehe

shelf with toys could be a foam edge in that corner 🤔.. move liquors closer to mixer for reasons 😏

MyDude, I love he RAW output comments. You got the Gift.

Bro stop it man. You love it 😊

To be honest. If you own more than around 30 modules, I think this is whete you start getting lost in the sauce. I think 20ish modules really is the best area that you want to stay. If you have more modules than that, you didn’t plan you eurorack properly OR you want it to do everything. Eurorack should be planned to do something specific and not be an swiss army knife.

If there is a serious alternative to Rossums Morpheus then I wouldn't have to jump into Eurorack

Excellent and sober discussion.

I can confirm. I've been in and out of it twice, and the cost over time is insanity. It can be the most fun and freeing way of making music you'll ever find, but you can get bored of the oscillators or filter, and getting new stuff is always a bunch of $. Then you have to sell to fund it, and the loop starts over. If you have endless money and space, go nuts, but otherwise you have to learn a lot of self-discipline, and find ways to avoid the synthfluencers, the forums and the synth sites. This stuff is like sugar.

technically smoking is a horrible habbit and getting more expensive every year depending on where you live or based on your habbit. There is always money for addiction just saying. Stop smoking and start patching.

Personally, I stopped selling on Reverb because I was tired of “musicians” making a purchase, using the gear to play with or even use it to do some recording, and then claim it is “faulty” and returning the item. Typically they keep it for 2-3 weeks and then try to file for a return. 99% of the time the item return in perfect working condition. Like I said, they buy it knowing they will return it when they are done using it for whatever short-term thing they need it for.

Reverb is a piece of shit. They come off like they're helping the guitar community. IMHO.. They're scamming it. They're shits. Avoid them so they disappear.

Watch out if you sell on Reverb. I sold a 1965 Firbird with serious wear, which I tried to show. The buyer wanted their money back and I had zero help from Reverb. I lost over a thousand dollars when you include all my costs. I feel ill about this and will always shoot a ton of pics and stress that the guitars HAVE BEEN PLAYED and show play wear after 50+ years.

So boring. Just play the thing

Reverb must be different in in USA, in the uk its practically unusabe, with zero customer service. Utter shite.

What do you do for a living with so much time and money on hands? Very cool channel!

I pre-ordered the black version a month ago. Do you think the Syntrx II is one of the best companions for the Perkons, or would you recommenced another synth? To be clear, I make lower BPM type music, along the lines of experimental ambient, to 90's era hip hop. I also own a decent collection of gear, so niche is good. I'm looking for something weird like the Syntrx II, or something else in that vein. I also want something that's very tweakable, without too much menu diving when jamming. Sound quality is very important. I would prefer to stay under $3k USD. I'm also not against buying something used, so if the market is under $3k used, that would be cool. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

miss your content! congrats on the move jope youre enjoying the new sitch.

I would never buy gear I couldn't check out in person.

Looking into this to work a little out of the box for a change in creativity. Thank you for the info.

I have a BIA but I think its a bit overrated. It can do kicks, mids, and even high hats. But i don't find any of them great. Changing the timbre of the BIA effects it very quickly - too quickly - only a narrow window for subtlety. Because of how aggressively digital it can sound, it makes a lot of smaller eurorack cases sound the same - but not in a great way. The DFAM also sounds so DFAM to me, you can pick it out. But a DFAM sounds great, albeit thats a different form factor - i just bring it up because of recognisability.

This is my second approach to modular. I decided to build a small sampler based setup in a small 4U×62hp Pallette case: Sound source: 4ms Company Stereo Triggered Sampler System80 860 MK2 (VCF, successor to JOVE) FX: Happy Nerding FX AID Noise Engineering Desmodus Versio Sequencing, utilities and control: Micro Ornament & Crime Intellijel Midi 1U (to sync the clock or sequence everything from my Syntakt) Intellijel Quadratt 1U Xaoc Devices Nin (4 manual triggers)

I still don't get how items can be taxed multiple times. If you sold this stuff at a garage sale or flea market, no one is paying extra taxes. The item was taxed when it was purchased new. It shouldn't be taxed ever again unless it's a capital gain.

I can’t think of anyone who likes sound that wouldn’t enjoy some aspect of eurorack. It really is endless what you can do in one lifetime.

I. Can’t. Stop. Buying. Modules. Pls halp

Duuude... i worked as a theater tour\stage manager, i did this every freaking day... i still have ugly flashbacks when i see let's say modular synth..

You sir are spot on, it took me a while to figure out why after all my sales I was still in the Red. Yes, I had great gear but owed a lot more than what I had set out to do. So thank you for the video, it took the cost analysis to a higher level.

what is this keyboard :D

Dope vid. The MPC is not a reissue. It’s just the latest version of MPC. But yeah it’s not for everyone especially if your beatmaking journey began after 2000 or 2010 as there are so many more options for the task with their own unique workflows.

The honesty in your video is great. It reminds me a little of something I always think about when it comes to people being described as "best of" in fields of practice where there is a high entry cost or payment to play. Could it be that they are considered so great because they are only competing against a small handful of people. Like I wonder if if the greatest potentials for talent are too poor to get their foot in the door. Great video, I like your unique approach instead of the mindless duplicatations I see all over youtube.

I think online selling platforms are all squeezing people too much. I still used Craigslist for big ticket items for the most part. I have a 2017 EBMM JP6 in mystic dream, that is still brand new condition. I wouldn’t mind selling it, but the idea of selling it online, and then shipping it doesn’t sit well with me. I also have a few other items, that I would like to sell, but the whole process is nothing I’d feel good about, so I just don’t mess with it.

I hope to work up to selling some gear one day; over 700 reverb transactions and I haven’t sold one thing yet, I sold a comic once, Hulk 161 first appear r of Wolverine and I’ve regretted it since the day I sold it

I dig finding people with info like this, keep up the good work, functional yet organized and clean

My space is so badly in need of a complete tear down and rebuild. I’ve patched and shoehorned new things into the same small configuration for far too long. I dread the process but I’m sure it will be worth it.
