Godox just announced the Alink — $40 wireless mic, 24-bit audio, hot shoe mount, stereo recording, 6g transmitter, 30hr battery. Already rely on Godox lighting daily. If audio quality holds up, this slots right into a hybrid photo/video workflow without a second thought. #GearTalk #Godox

Realitätscheck: Wir theoretisieren viel über Hanf, aber hat das Zeug schon jemand an?

Ich ja. Und ich sag's ehrlich: Einmal Hanf-Socken, nie wieder zurück.

I'll be streaming an intro to the MiniFreak V starting in about 10 minutes! Join us for a look at this excellent successor/big brother to the beloved and legendary MicroFreak.

We'll tour the synth, hear some presets, compare it with the MicroFreak, compare it to some OTHER soft synths, and look at its place in the V collection. Oh, and probably make at least a couple of sounds.

Join us!

I've had the Arturia MicroFreak for 6 years -- how well do I like it after more than half a decade of use?

Dive into the biggest little synthesizer on the market: the Arturia MicroFreak. My review explains why it's my favorite synth of all time, and why you might want to get one for yourself.

Had some time this afternoon to do a little writing, so I finally got around to writing up a review of my favorite -- you read that right, my *favorite* - #synthesizer, the #Arturia #MicroFreak.

Gotta admit, the new Roland super-duper TR drum machine (real analog!) sounds fucking great. Lucky for me, it's MILES out of my price range, so unless one falls off a truck or Roland is desperate for streamers to demo it (LOL), I don't have to think about it too much.

If you are in the market for a new softsynth AND you love FM and weird digital, the plug-in version of the Korg opsix is currently on sale for $99 (along with Modwave & Wavestate plugins; Multi/Poly is $150).

The opsix is one of my favorite synths of all time!

The age of vintage digital is here, & demand for old, once uncool synths is about to increase. Get a jumpstart on the competition by learning about the ups and downs of the Kawai K4, a fascinating & obscure early quasi ROMpler with some great sounds.

Studio Update: A few weeks ago I was soliciting opinions about whether or not to get a Mac Mini to replace my ailing, nearly decade-old PC.

Opinions differed, leaning toward "yes but get more RAM than base model" and I had just about decided *not* to do it when I stumbled on a good video from a music tech vlogger I really like (video here: https://youtu.be/obkCMxaIIFM) who did exactly what I was thinking and had great results.

For one thing, that main lead line/repeating riff is just killer. I actually have a bunch of cool unused variations of it because I couldn't bring myself to use too many in the face of the perfection of the main riff LOL. Again, that's #MicroFreak thru #Echorec, the two stars of this #production for sure (and the Freak is one of the two MVPs of the album).

After I recorded that, I went back and recorded additional layers; most crucially I played #bass through the #Catalinbread #Echorec. (This replaced the MiniBrute bass that worked well enough for the jam but I never loved). I also played another #MicroFreak patch through the same delay pedal. At this point I was *very* infatuated with this jam.

This one started as a jam based around the main repeating melodic sequence. That was played on the #Arturia #MicroFreak. The #MiniBrute2s joined on bass if memory serves, while the #DrumBruteImpact handled drum duties. I recorded a jam of ten minutes or so with this setup as a multitrack on my #Tascam Model 12.
