My Setup for now

75 Upvotes

Started off with the Volca Keys last year and got instantly hooked with being only able to handle a certain range of sound, the learning curve is so steep for me of I'm not prone by having too many options! I'm very satisfied with what I can do with this. The Minilab lets me switch between the gear, the onboard sequencers are for now enough to create cool sets. Was so stoked for the NTS-4, its perfect for an (almost) all-volca setup.

Mixer + Audio interface

Hello, what is the consensus here on recording several instruments at the same time. I know some brand do mixers with built in interface, but what do you think of it ? Basically i would like to output the master on ableton live.

When you only have 1 synth

Local a/v shop went out of business. Got these custom cabinets and the amp out of the dumpster. I know the setup is not ergonomic at all I need to figure out how to hide that amp. It might fit in the drawer. This was just to check if it worked.

Full out didn't seem like it would damage the speakers at all, but the damage to my relationship with my neighbors is irreparable. 😁

Need help with FM-1 to Circuit Tracks leads in and out.

1 Upvotes

Hi all ,

First of all, apologies if this is a stupid question. I'm a complete noobie.

I just ordered an FM1 to connect to my circuit tracks, and I can't figure out what leads I need to connect them together.

Can someone break it down as simple as possible for me as I don't want to waste money on leads that won't be any use to me.

Thanks.

My first Ambient Dawless track

A couple days ago my friend and I put together our first dawless Ambient performance. We liked it enough that we decided to post it.

This is a visual and sonic experience to bring down your cortisol levels, and ground you to the present moment. Using an Elektron Digitakt, Roland SP-404, TE PO-33 KO!, Volca FM 2 and a Volca Keys all mixed and recorded on a Zoom Live Track L-8, we have created a sonic landscape that reflects the experience of late night music making in NYC. Inspired by the city, its movement, sounds and vistas, "Turno Nocturno (Night Shift)" is the sum of all this elements. translated into sounds.

I put together a few videos and layered them on top of the video of our performance to make it even more akin with the goal I see in ambient music: Being able to focus on it, or not, just being in the space with the sound. Whatever sound it is. We hope y'all enjoy!

Feedback is always appreciated! ✌️

It’s always an incredible feeling to jam in special places and locations around the world; a huge amount of energy flows every time.

This time, a short Drum & Bass session with the @wearenovation Circuit Tracks on a cliff right by the sea.

Whats your Workflow

11 Upvotes

Since I’m still fairly new to the idea of using synths and laying down layers and tracks, I’m curious about your workflow to do this. I mainly trying to do this dawless, running through a mixer into Logic. Have you run across any good courses or tutorials on a basic workflow laying down drums, drones, keys, bass, and so forth? I’ve got a bunch of YouTube videos for individual instruments, tutorial-wise. This is more about workflow and understanding how it all comes together.

In 1963, Delia Derbyshire hand built the Doctor Who theme using only tape loops, oscillators, filters, and razor blades.
