it was shit 2 minutes ago
it is shit even now
>tfw your hunt for a scilloscope gets mentioned in the op
>>53641337
is this one of those memesongs all the kids are talking about these days?
>>53641401
you making hardware synths? that's a pretty cool project
I'm trying to recreate 'Skeng' off London Zoo, that is my project for the day. I'm really digging it.
Any tips?
>>53641337
'minimalistic edm' uh-huh. it's just fart noises dude
>>53641337
this is just farts for two minutes without any interpretable pattern

trying to hit the shit limit
>>53641575
know that feel.. softube FET will have to do in the meantime
>>53641505
Yeah I was planning on building analog only but shit starts to get expensive real quick and I am currently broke and nojerb. So I'm gonna work hybrid as I already have an arduino.
Really excited but an oscilloscope seems like a necessity and they're just so much monies.
>>53641337
add some fast-paced drums, man
>>53641610
Yeah you definitely can't proceed without one. I recommended this before in another prod thread, sorry if it's redundant but I figured I should post it.
>>53641610
>oscilloscope seems like a necessity
yeah well either that or a software oscilloscope on the computer you already have and an audio interface that you also likely already have
what up niggers? breakbeat fag here
https://clyp.it/iqejn4og
something i started working on last night with an old drum file. the main bass i for the love of god cannot make more clear but i'm bustin my ass tryin to EQ back to life. wish me luck
>>53641623
Haha yeah I'm the same anon that already has the book but was put off by the cost of the kit.
I'm basically using the bill of materials for the noise toaster as a starting point, and slowly sourcing everything out. Just wish I had something better than the markup machine that is radioshack locally.
>>53641685
>https://clyp.it/iqejn4og
holy DAMN we unreal tournament now!
>>53641682
Ah fuck I hadn't even thought about that. I do already have a 2i4 and a mbp so that would be a huge money and timesaver. Is there a program that you would suggest?
>>53641776
haha you remember me eh?
>>53641825
Lemonbro here. You got an appletosh or a windoze? If you work on a Mac I'd suggest one of the Faber Acosutical apps. Something like Signalscope or Signal Suite should be fine if you're just generating signals. Not too familiar with electroacoustics apps for PC
>>53641825
foobar 2000
>>53641876
>Signalscope
Is there a 100$ justification in the differences between Pro and notpro?
>>53641967
yes, but only if you need those feautures. if you just want to generate scientifically precise signals, get the little $20 deallie. if you want to be able to run all kinds of electroacoustic tests, measurements, and analysis just upgrade. I own the flagship Electroacoustics Toolbox app and I use it everyday. Also I think if you buy small you can upgrade to the others without paying the full price. Check their website as opposed to the App Store, it's a better way to buy.
>>53641876
Also Lemons: you don't happen to know of any electronics surplus stores in the area do you? Even if it's out west as fuck I'd consider checking it out if it's a good selection of shit.
>>53642034
Ah shit alright I'll definitely do that. Seems like a respectable business model.
>>53642044
The only one I know is You Do It Electronics in Needham.
www.youdoitelectronics.com/
The place is a god damned fantasyland! I go there just for fun with my EE friend the way people plan trips to the Magic Kingdom. It's aces.
>>53641825
>>53642060
>save this fucker both a trip to a boutique electronics shop and like 200 bucks
u welcome son
>>53642060
I'm not 100% sure about that, just double check before you buy. I'd hate for you to buy the $20 app, want more features, and then have to start all over again
what do you snack on when you're writin songs prod?
>>53642106
nicotine
>>53642078
Ahhh yeah that's what somebody else suggested. Definitely planning on heading up some time when i've got the money. I have a feeling it's going to be like the first time I went to Microcenter just completely unable to contain myself. Buying shit I didn't need left and right.
Also it seems like there may be a third massfag who frequents /prod/.
>>53642079
Thanks anon I appreciate it.
>>53642106
bread. maybe some kind of candy if it's available. if I get too hungry i make a bowl of cornflakes or a sandwich. If someone cooks i'll just eat that.
if i was an animal i'd be a dog cus i fuckin love to eat jesus christ i'd rather eat a plate of rice, beans and fried chicken or onioned beef than have sex. sadly since i dont eat very often im still a skinny fuck.
>>53642106
>snacking
>getting your gear all dirty with greasy hands
Shiggy diggy. I wash my hands most of the time before I play.
>>53642170
less still have sex
>>53642180
>washing your hands
>not removing your own skin and putting on sterile gloves before touching your gear
>>53642180
so eat something that isn't greasy or use a napkin you god damn savage
>>53642106
2 joints when i compose, 2 joints when i mix, 2 joints when i master
>>53642092
Yeah it looks like I'm going to at least need Signalscope. Still though 50$ is better than having to go drop 200$ or so on a physical scope.
That said I still want one some day. It would look so sexy on my desk.
>>53642169
>seems like there may be a third massfag who frequents /prod/.
no shit heh. And yeah, youdoit is amazing. two floors packed with everything you need and so much shit you don't know you need!
>>53642256
Why not just get smexoscope? It's a free VST, and a pretty good oscilloscope.
>>53642267
massfag? As in MA?
I am in MA :^)
>>53642322
oh shit there are 3! Where you at anon? I'm in plymouth county.
>>53642256
Keep an eye on CL and shit for oscilloscopes. My friend has had like 5 of them because he grabs them at yard sales in the "free" section of craigslist. Then he gets sick of having junk and he gets rid of them. They're generally obsolete as fuck so they aren't really hard to come-by if you're patient.
Signalscope is fantastic. It generates signals but also gives you some good analysis tools so you can watch what signals are doing. You'll want to download soundflower if you don't have it. It's a virtual interface that runs in Audio/MIDI setup with the rest of your hardware. It'll allow you to route your DAW or music playback or quicktime or whatever you want in and out of Signalscope, so you can look at you synth patches and shit. Plus you'll be able to route your signal generator out of Signalscope and into a DAW or the like.

a bowl of weed every half hour for me. maybe a bag of chips or some trail mix. anything in a bag so I can dump food into my mouth
>>53642361
I live on Cape Cod in Barnstable county but I really dislike it. I hope to get out of here eventually ;_;
nice to meet you :)

Jorman? Wat.
Although I am pretty tarred, might take a nap.

Whoa whoa whoa. Where in the 508 you at my man? I'm in the freetownish area.

>>53642474
>>53642499
Also masscollaboration sometime maybe?
>>53642585
Yeah maybe. I'm pretty busy recording/engineering at work now so I think my time composing at home will be cut down a lot.
>>53642585
a few hours drive away in some direction but possibly open to possible collab on neutral ground
also wouldn't mind like a small irc or something first to test out if collab would be a worthwhile idea
>>53642669
#maprod
on irc.rizon.net
:)
>>53642722
what daw are yall MA niggas using? Im not from there but would love to be part of a collab if it's open to whomever from /prod/

I'm just installing irssi, will be on soon.

Speaking of jabronis, I just moved to Philly. Any IDM fags want to collaborate?
>>53643708
1. put a piezo contact mic in your mouth.
2. using your tongue, press it firmly up against your hard pallet
3. hit record
4. crack your skull into the doorjamb a few times
5. edit and sequence!
>>53643742
>IDM
>>53643708
just turn up the lows and throw an effect on there, maybe a VST

Never really understood why would anybody do such long tracks in 2015. Nobody gonna listen to them.
+ I'm working on this: https://clyp.it/oupfvlka
I'm a student with literally no experience with music and have never performed music or done anything remotely musical in my life outside of recorder lessons when i was like 8.
If I applied myself, could I pick up music and create something, or is creating music something that should come naturally and maybe it's not for me?
I'd certainly give it a go though
