nice stuff,  Kraftwerk meets Jean-Michel Jarre.

That's a compliment I'll take any day.

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!

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!!!

t

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.

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.

Very nice jam. You sure have a lot of synths

Thanks! Yeah it got a bit out of hand, but now I'm pretty much done.

Sunday was busy for me. Keep it up brother!

Hahaha I just got the ping from Youtube and thought he must be on a well deserved vacation or something 😅

Upgrade price for me is €69 (nice). If that would be based on the (still?) free VCA, that's a pretty good deal. I'm tempted, it's another 2A and 1176, but the added features like drive could be interesting.

Purchased, I like their stuff (use it too little though) and I would like to have the collection complete, which is a stupid reason but still a reason.

Interesting, I will snatch this up.

Saw this deal in my e-mail earlier today. I love their sample packs. Free for a very limited time.

Great find!

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.

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 😎

Nope, too much.

The Youtube community doesn't seem that impressed from what I've seen. Perhaps Izotope didn't pay enough? That being said, Trash 2 is/was an absolute staple in modern EDM/techno/hardcore. One could say it influenced the direction of multiple genres, which is a pretty significant accomplishment. 

From what I've seen and knowing that community a bit, this won't replace Trash 2.

Awesome, I love what you're doing here, just killer.☮️

I left my comments on your YOUTUBE channel.

Thank you so much for the support!

I would love to get my hands on Lumina and this is about as good as it gets (perhaps a 60% in a bundle?). But still a lot of money for something I don't really use. I can get the Behringer JT-4000 and Roland AIRA E-4 for that money. With room to spare for cables and a case.

"dynamic " folder ?    😉

I was hoping that with the new Ableton, they would remove the limit on the categories. I now have:

Master & Favorites
Synths & Drums
EQ, channelstrips & filters
Dynamics (so yes, all the compressors and limiters)
Distortion & saturation
Reverb & delay
Utility & creative

Some have overlap and I just tag them in multiple categories. Clippers can be used as a dynamics tool but also as a creative distorion tool. Something like a chorus would fall in the Utility & creative category, but some multi fx span over 4 cateogries.

Probably one of my favorites so far. I did some (basic) live playing, slapped on a vocal for good measure and voila. 

https://www.skystudiosplugins.com/

Over 2400 synth sounds and other instruments were sampled with the goal of picking the best 200 we could possibly make.

(Ended up with about 230 because I really loved all these sounds too much).

The instruments used to make the samples include a Jupiter 8, Prophet 5, Prophet 6, Moog Model D, Deckards Dream, Subsequent 37, Wurlitzers, Rhodes, Pianos, Panoptigon, Marimba and many other sound sources and outboard effects.

Normally $129, now $39. And you can use code BISHU for another 20% off.
