Studio Tour - Hardware Analogue Synths

Thanks for the tour - would love an insight into your workflow?

Sure, what would you like to know? There are a few studio snippets of me playing around in the studio.
In short though, I run a modo sequence in live out to any of the synths, post process the synth audio with FX, record straight into Ableton, process some more sometimes, then arrange, mix, master ;)

Nice one mate. I'd be interested to know how you sequence it all and keep it all clocked together. Do you run midi out of Ableton? And do you record individual parts for mixdown later or play the whole track as a performance?

[@dj_nila]

Hi Clay, cheers for checking this out mate. Yes you got it. I create MIDI sequences in Ableton that trigger the synths. I the record the audio out of the synths back into Live where I apply more FX (delays. Reverbs, compression etc).
I usually record a long take on most occasions the full track length so it becomes more of a performance than a loop. Sometimes I’ll record several lines at once bth, I do t have enough hands to do that properly so mostly, I just record one at a time and layer them.
As for syncing, yeah all clocked via Ableton over USB/MIDI din. I use a couple iConnectivity Mio XL which allow up to 10 usb connections for the synths.
