  1. A bit late on the sunday, but I was away for the whole weekend to Dublin. So here it is, the latest jam. This time the sounddesign stage took me into the 90s trance era, so I went with it. Flashy visuals in the thumbnail, perhaps a bit slower tempo than what was customary at that time, but it's not an exact copy.

    Enjoy!

    Good to see you sorted your issues. Hope all is well on the home front.

    Well not yet, but I found a temporary solution. Haven't had the time to fix it. On the homefront it's a bit better luckily. Thanks for the comment.

    Oops, I almost forgot this is the forum where everyone would make sweet love to their plugin folder if they could.

    By all means, tell that person who already owns a bunch of high quality reverbs they totally need another one, because why wouldn't you?

    Stop hurting me! I just shelled out over €500 for a hardware reverb of which I'm pretty shure I could replicated it to a degree if I actually used 25% of my reverb and granular plugins.

    Love how everyone is getting excited about a plugin they will literally never use.

    Installed!

    I actually did use it! But not remembering in which project and on which sound says something...

    This is not good news. Wishing your father a speedy recovery and a speedy resolution to your tech issues. 

    Will miss you!

    (how will I know it’s really Sunday?)

    did he leave a like and comment at YT? Does a 🧸💩in the 🌳🌳🌳?

    I found a workaround for the tech issues. I re-connected all the synths from the non-functioning pre-amp unit to one I barely use (I have 4 and mostly use 3). The issues are still the same but somehow this works. I can't use headphones, that signal is still overloaded with white noise (a sign of samplerate mismatch, so I contacted RME support). It is weird, because the incoming signal is ok but the outgoing not.

    Luckily my father got out of bed today (12 hours after surgery!) and walked a bit. This is such a crappy weekend. On top of everything there was a hostage situation (!!) 5 minutes from my house. Snipers, bombsquad, DSI (the guys who get called in by SWAT or even military units to 'handle things'), the whole nine yards.

  6. A bit of a cheecky title. 

    Here we go again. It's sunday! The synths in the break are a bit thin, but get back-up from the Matriarch. Vocals a bit too loud, but hey.

    Sadly, this could be my last jam for a while. I'm having technical issues which I can't solve at the moment. Nor do I have the time. Somehow I lost sync/lock on all my ADA8200's and I'm having trouble pinpointing the issue. I hope it's something silly but I can't figure it out yet. It seems like a samplerate thing but I haven't changed anything so it baffles me. Add to that that my father broke his hip this weekend so my attention is elsewehere and I'm away next weekend. So maybe I will record something with the units that do work.

    Anyway, enough personal stuff. Enjoy!

  7. I think the Pianist bundle at the UJAM site is as low as it ever got, I could be mistaken though. I believe the lowest was 149 and it's 99 now.

    Sunday, Sunday. 
    Favorite section? The break, but it’s all good. I’m subscribed (for some time), liked and commented. Come on y’all!!!

    have another creative rest of your week Nick!

    Thank you so much! I love making these breaks. Synths are so awesome for that.

    This week I'm a bit strapped for time, BUT I did record a fun project some weeks ago which I might edit and put out. I might as well say it, I connected the MIDI out of the Roland J-6 (a little chord machine) to my Prophet 6 and recorded all kinds of progressions. Very fun project! Now I 'just 'have to edit 24 seperate audio and video files.

    And I have to record another jam midweeks somewhere this week or the next because I will be away for a weekend for a citytrip with my friends to Dublin.

  9. I'm very happy with this one. The synths really shined in their 'optima forma'. Lots of sustained sounds which almost mimics low strings. The Prophet 6 is magical, and the Moogs are well, Moogs. The stuttering lead is a stack of leads from the Peak with a modulated (unsynced) tremolo.

    Yeah, I have most of the T-RackS plugins including Comprexxor.  Also have Arturia FX Collection, some PA, etc... Also have UAD Spark right now too, but not sure I want to stay on the sub.

    So I guess my question would be given that the Arturia compressors, bx_opto, etc, cover a lot of this ground, the Softube ones wouldn't give me anything over what I have.  Probably best to save $53. 

    Agreed, I have the free VCA and would gain the Opto and FET. I have plenty of options for those including Universal Audio.

    I have V Collection 9 and Pigments and my upgrade price is also €199. I assume that you need to have at least one of the new products from V Collection X to get it for 99 €/$.

    I guess so, I don't have those but all the rest and my upgrade price is also 199. A bit too much at the moment, seeing I just bought a Roland E-4 and some good kitchen knives.

    No matter what you think of PA (and I was on a "i won't use anything PA" trip for a while), cancelling F29 was quite a bad decision. Could have easily sold the codes I didn't need each month and grabbed the 1-3 good plugins per year...

    Yep, that's how I do it. And the Neold stuff is pretty good most of the times, so I just might Forever29 this one.

  13. Oh my god, I'm doing stupid thumbnails. Please don't hold it against me. Well I had no clue what to call this, I't basically all over the place. It's a pretty standard jam, but there are some nice details. The pan spread funtion on the Prophet 6 is pretty awesome which pans different voices. Switching the paraphony from 4 voices to 1 of the Matriarch sounded cool. 

    Oh and for the Lego fans, in the background is the new R2D2 😎
