For those of you with a very busy schedule, I finally get to the point about "justification" at 06:08 and I play my song at 10:58 😁
You don’t need to justify your justification 😊
You call that ramble getting to the point? lol
You should try swapping or layering the voice of your song. A male metal voice screaming the lines instead would be perfect. 🎉 Happy new year
Hi Tim, do you use a Mac or PC?
Cheers.
I think that people forget that a big part of making music is actually having fun doing it, whether it is creating a patch on a modular system or dialing in the sound that you want in one of your synths.
I have a some physical sythersizors but I'm mainly a Reason DAW user, and as this gentleman said "I only use about 20% of the synths capabilities" this is true for most people. I have Reason 12 all these fancy upgrades and about 40 software sythersizors but I made pretty much all of those sounds before using Reason 4 that only had 3 sythersizor devices because I used about 80% of there capabilities.
Exactly, I own all my gear because I enjoy it. It’s my hobby. I don’t need to be efficient. Making music and designing sounds is something I enjoy doing on my own time.
Message to people with a negative comment “just have fun“ stop taking things too seriously.
Spot on Tim. There's some weirdos out there, sat in their troll chairs, telling others how they expect them to behave.
They're irrelevant - just ignore them, block them or quietly delete their inconsequential spoutings.
Keep up the good work, always interesting.🙂
Great tune! It's like Tangerine Dream re-imagined the Mission Impossible theme 👏
Yes please to the RMX and EmVoice videos! Personally, HOW I made the sound can be as influential as how I’ve used it.
You are getting at the core of what inspires you Tim. And that inspires me. 🎉
Wonderful thought.
I really hope Mister Scrunge makes it home safely. I’m sure y’all miss him deeply😣
Fantastic track and video buddy have a happy new year.
Very sorry to hear about Mister Scrunge. I sincerely hope he returns soon. Meanwhile, what a fantastic song. Love the opening synth parts, they really get me interested in the song. But the stand out is the synthesized vocals. Can’t really remember liking synth vocals before. I didn’t find them convincing as in I thought it was a real singer, but I liked the singer. I liked her performance. Kinda weird. Anyway great video.
Thank you very very much for producing them. And, as always, I look forward to your next.
I so get the wish for useable sounds without internet drama. I've built my modular system (in big thanks to your videos!) and that's now finished. I have the voices I need and just want useable sounds from the system I built. I just trigger it from my DAW which is viewed as blasphemous in certain circles. Hoping for a swift return of Mister Scrunge. I'm sure you will have thought of all the things (litter box outside et cetera as homing signal) so crossing my fingers for a New Years miracle. Best wishes to you and yours!
I was going to skip this one over, but I saw Tim had his Glasses on. It looked like some serious shit was about to go down. I had better check it out.
There are 2 real reasons to buy a synth
1: you need it
2: you WANT it
Both work for me.
Love the video for the tune. Made me laugh because the first thing that popped into my head was Synthpunks Cats ..in space vid.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Tim.
Not necessarily in that order!
@@MuzixMaker Obviously! 😁
Sometimes it's the tool itself, that inspires the work 👏
Hoping your sweet furry family member will come home soon!
The only thing that counts is the result - no matter with what instruments / tools or with what training (or without any training/education) this was created. Emotion and groove is all there is.
Really cool track and I'm amazed how realistic the vocals are. Happy New Year!
I found identical presets on physical Novation sythersizors like Peak and MiniNova on Reason DAW Soft sythersizors, because they both copied Roland's presets. They are literally identical.
loved the song and the video. much love to us all in 2023.
As a fellow feline father, best wishes for Scrunge’s return. Have faith, my record is 7 weeks. Lovely tune and very cool video. Hopefully the energy is put out there to guide him home.
Regarding justification, it’s often frustrating that we find ourselves in this place where the audience is just as interested (more?) in the sausage-making process as the taste. For whatever reason, we find vicarious inspiration from the peek inside, all of us hoping that a piece of gear or software will inspire us too. The scrutiny and judgment can be annoying, but I’m certain the majority of us appreciate the time you’ve put into it, and the music interludes you share.
Thank you for a wonderful 2022 and I wish you a prosperous 2023 that gives you the time and inspiration to put together that musical project that’s on your wishlist. Make it happen, Tim!
I have 3 physical sythersizors and over 40 software sythersizors but Made My best music when I was restricted to just 3 software sythersizor devices, and today regularly go through My music catalogue back as far as 2006 to get sounds that sounded good but can now sound great with My current knowledge. I think restrictions enhanced My creativity, and having so much stuff today dont = better music.
Good for you Tim! Fully appreciate your view. Have to say that point of inspiration is absolutely key.
Really cool track Tim! All the best for 2023, and best wishes for the little black panther......;)
8:05 I think you hit the nail on the head here. The content of MANY synth videos on TH-cam revolves around new gear, reviews and affiliate links. Coincidently I thought just the other day about this fact and how content is being created around the constricts and business model of TH-cam algorythms. The machine of money shaping art. Well, I guess that isnt new, is it? Cheers, I love your content.
Your composition is FANTASTIC! Thank you!
Great song!
Re justification: for me personally, the interface and layout of a synth is very important for how inspiring I find it. If I like making sounds and music on a synth, I don't think it matters how many features I use.
Fantastic music and visuals!
Ha ha… cat in Space … cool !
Happy new year. got to love cats :)
thank you for your sharing your thoughts on inspiration and gear. I totally agree
Music is sound and emotion, there is simply nothing to justify about it, especially around whatever tools happen to be used!
Very nice song, with great sounds!
Brilliant, you nailed it. And thanks for sharing.
all the best Tim for 2023 from across the pond ...
Yes! Review Stylus! Thanks again for the video!
Coulda, woulda, shoulda, but the point you were making was beyond some (modular upload).
What you do Tim is what you do to a T, and it's succinct.
I appreciate you opening this up for public scrutiny too, in the end, if you don't make any music, then you need to find something else to keep you occupied.
Happy New Year and stay safe.
I felt very seen when you said "You might as well not have them at all", because I'm having a hard time and I don't feel like using my synth at the moment: but then I read ''(unless you are a collector)'' and I felt seen again, but that made me feel better about it.
Your videos always cheer me up, and I appreciate that a lot!. Also, what a nice job you do with the editing, I quite like it!
Dope song and great video discussion!
loved it mate, people are people and there is no changing them - they are here in music, they are in the sport of motocross i am involved in, they are everywhere...let em get on with it and simply :-) at them
HI Tim. Nice song! I didn’t like it at first, but after two more listens I am addicted. So many cool little synth hooks. I would love to have heard an extended solo section with a synth playing a simple solo around the melody. And your application of Envoice was enough to put it on my wish list. Thanks! Mark
Nice. Good video.
Oh! and I hope Mister Scrunge returns back soon! I am taking care of almost 30 cats where I live and....Well, I love them!
Hello Tim, always find your videos interesting and well put together so thank you for continuing to share your thoughts and music. The justification of what gear you use and own is entirely up to you and I think many on the internet forget that some of us have bought and chosen our instruments over a number of years / decades and so what we use is sometimes familiarity, sometimes it's a particular sound that inspired an idea and it's nothing to do with capabilities. Often times it just boils down to people being jealous and forgetting that we've had to work and sweat to get things for our hobby (or need) to make music.
Hi Tim thanks for your videos.
I enjoy watching them very much, and as an old jaded musician they give me motivation.
Thanks, Tim! Not everything needs to be justified in practical terms. I have a CP-70B in my back room. I can recreate the sound digitally via other means, but it has other aspects that have always appealed to me. I also have a special companion, a black cat named Spot (yes, that's his name). He sleeps most of the day, is occasionally mischievous; but I love him to bits. I hope Mister Scrunge returns to your family soon. Best wishes!
Thank you so much 🙏
Thank you, Tim for highlighting the human side of music creation - we all draw inspiration from different set-ups whether hardware, software, any combination of these or something completely different. Recognising and celebrating the diverse ways in which people are inspired to create music is so valuable
Cosmic Cats!
Love those 80’s chord stabs.
Love the song Tim....
Yes a video on Stylus RMX would be nice!
Enjoyed the Vid and tune. Our Tuxedo Cat Max is 12 this year. Thanks
This song deserves real singer.
Damn, Stylus RMX! I remember having a pirated copy of that back in the 1700's. Would be really cool to see a video on that one in 2023.
Dear Tim, for me, the point of any synth is that it is a sound source, and many of the songs or ideas for songs have started with hitting a patch or modifying a preset, experimenting with the sound, and that sound inspiring a new idea. It doesn’t matter if it’s the sound of a sine wave on a Synclavier or a Casio, if what it leads to is a creative spark. Keep doing what you’re doing 👍🏽
Stylus, Omnisphere, Trilogy, all incredible mind blowing, awe inspiring software…Yes, please let us see how you utilize them…thanks and Happy New Year!
You are so good at creating these retro-futuristic synth compositions, I would love to hear you score a movie some day.
Love the song 🔥
Hi Tim, thank you so much for making these and other videos on TH-cam. I'm only recently getting into Eurorack and your videos on the Behringer system 100 series have been simply brilliant (admittedly they are a couple of years old, but new to me :) ) . I own a lot of non modular gear, but find myself tweaking stock patches rather than really making sounds from scratch. My justification for getting into modular at this point is to force me to learn more about patch creation, i.e. as a next stage in learning. I'm certain I could make the sounds I will be making from the modules (when they arrive) from the gear I already own, but it isn't the point. I think sometimes learning from new gear can make you better with existing gear.
So glad I've found your channel, love your music and content.
That EMvoice sounds extremely promising. Definitely something I need to explore in '23.
Thanks for all the inspiration you shared with us this year. Looking forward watching more of you next year. Happy new year!
Happy new year with great health ,love, joy and lots of music !
For me owning and talking about gear, considering what might be cool to own next etc is the main part of the fun! Of course you don't need any of this stuff if you're aim is to be a music creator, a computer with VSTs is enough to create music.
It depends what you want out of it, it's a hobby for me and there is almost no way I can justify some of the synths I own but I love it!
I’ve had a couple people give me the business over my synth choices for various instruments using the exact phrase “but you could have done that on any synthesizer”. My response is always “yup, and I choose to do it on that one”
Ha ha. Well done! Your response was more witty and polite than mine would have been.
Hey Tim - Love the song. Hope Mister Scrunge returns home soon. Not yet suffered from the justification police - altogether a weird thing to complain about. I also use synths for inspiration.
Happy Musical New Year to you and yours.
I tend to follow the 80/20 rule with most of my gear. I use about 20% of the features 80% of the time.
Found your channel through the GX-80 video. I loved the song. Happy New Year!
Great talk on Justification Tim, and great video as usual. Keep up the excellent work and keep enjoying your music! 👏👏👏😎👍❤️🎹🎶🎵
Great track! I think "inspiration" is really the key take away for me here, thank you for that. Anything that inspires me to create has value. The goal and reward (for me) really is creation.
I like it! Reminds me a little of some Klaus Schulze and Tangerine Dream from the 70s or 80s. Happy New Year
I fully agree with you on the side of inspiration. Writing music, like most artistic creation, is first and foremost a process. At the end of it, wether or not the final composition retains any of the idiosyncratic signature of the instruments used to write it is an irrelevant question: the main function of those instruments is, first and foremost, to stimulate creativity.
Quite often with analog synthesizers, the very process of sound design plays just that role : it produces semi-random outcomes in which fun musical ideas can be extracted and later developed.
It is all about the journey, man !
Fun jam! Thanks
Fantastic video as always. I agree with your take on this topic and appreciate you talking about it. I'd also be very interested to see a video on Stylus.
happy new year Tim, to you ,your family and your cat . thx for the song m8
As an old single guy with 16 rescued cats and twice as many synths…thanks! I can totally relate (not to suggest you’re an old single guy, though!) 😸🎶
i love your animation with music.... epic .. i love synth stuff.. your chanel is amazing iv been following ... thanks
Loved the 'justification' Tim, and great tune, my challenge is moving beyond playing everything live at the same time and actually recording multiple takes, so i need enough synths to play all the parts at once!
Tim, no need to justify or alter your behavior to appease nit picking fools attempting to guide others freedom of expression. This song sounds great. Keep it up and have a wonderful 2023 👍🏻
I tried the software route and am now building a budget studio of things I can touch and manipulate. I saw the potential of software and won't go DAWless, but without finishing hardly a thing since I tossed out my gear in the last 20 years, I have to recognize that the tactile experience and the limitations imposed by hardware free my creative juices
I think you nailed the point on the head here. We don’t need to justify our synth choices, collection, or what have you, to anyone. As long as you can afford it, why not?
My theory is that some people wish they could own some of these instruments and perceive that they would be able to use them to their “fullest” potential (whatever that means), and are therefore jealous and lash out at those who they perceive are not using an instrument the way they’d like.
Well said Tim… and your cat video was the unexpected icing icing on the cake for your great new track! Thank you!
ppl who write comments like that are just jealous of you mate. Rightly so, too! I really appreciate every one of your videos, thanks. Have a great 2023
Meow. I really really hope Mister Scrunge comes home soon. That's heartbreaking.
A number of excellent points in the video and frankly,I loved the song. As someone currently in a creative slump, I know I'm literally one interesting patch on a synth away from a song. There's just no predicting it, but when it happens you know it. Good video, thanks Tim.
This really hit me at my core. I struggle with justification and occasionally am plagued with guilt over owning my rig (or any of my hobbies). It's taken me decades to build my creative spaces and the root question after all of it has been is it worth it. Oftentimes I thought this question was to be answered by the results of quantity and quality of tracks that have been released. But honestly the most important thing about all of this to me is to have fun. Collecting the gear jamming and hooking it up in different ways brings me a very positive and good feeling. Love your videos and hope your Cat returns.
Happy New Year Tim Shoebridge, thanks for all your videos/thoughts/music
Nice tune!
Thanks for the inspiration Tim. I’m glad you made this video, I’m sure more of us feel similar about the gear we choose to own and use. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Happiest New Year to and your family!!
Lovely vibes from this dude
Thanks for the chat Tim and your new music - I needed to hear it today. Happy New Year to YOU!! 👍
In every respect,well said and well played,Happy New Year
Hi Tim! First off... The song is legit! Go ahead and hire that vocalist!! On justification. Don't need to justify anything. I can't justify anything in my studio. I don't make music for a living. I'm an electrical engineer that was inspired by an Isao Tomita recording in high school band 48 years ago. I listened to his compositions on the Moog modular and was so taken by it all, I just told myself... "I want to be able to do that some day." And... I can. My day job supports my habit. 21 hardware synths and counting. Eight of them Moogs. The latest one an over priced reissued 2022 Model D. Why? Because I always wanted one and it was available. Maybe a modular some day... Who knows. I always love your videos. Very informative, Often inspirational. I loved the whole package on this song. I had listened to it on my television speakers and it rattled the metal. So, I came up to the studio and put it on my KRK R8s and KRK 12" sub. YES!!! that was what it was supposed to sound like... Keep up the good work sir!! The joy of music is the only justification that any of us need.
Nice track! Love the visuals too! Happy New Year to you as well. 😻🥳🍻
Yes a Stylus RMX Video would be great 😊 For me getting inspiration is the main reason of using different gear and in what kind of mood I’m in.
Well said Tim. Happy new year. there are always grumpies.....
Happy New Year, Tim!
Thank you for sharing your music ❤
Tim your music has got a lovely analog warmth to it. It's very analog. Mellow top end too. Love it.
Stylus is a lovely underrated VST and can of course play 3rd party loops which can be modified inside Stylus. Would love to see a video on this.
Just because it's old doesn't mean it's not good Tim. I can appreciate your endeavor with what you're trying to accomplish! Happy New Year.....
Amen, brother. Thanks for this vid.
You are spot on. You don’t need to prove anything to anyone. It boils down to what works for you and inspiration can come from a bit of knob twiddling,noodling or as the mood takes you. Maxing out each instrument for the sake of it isn’t making music. I think you get that sort of attention because you are a well respected synth guy. Take those comments as backhonded compliments. Happy New Year.🎉
Your videos are fascinating. Thanks for them, I would gladly watch your reviews of RMX and EmVoice.
That was Great ...Thank you for Sharing !!! I Can hear there was a lot of work that went into This ..Great Feel and Great Sounds ...!!!
