And here is Margaret. Margaret tries makes everything from scratch. Support Margaret because she will sell her last kidney to make her first track LOL

Update: she didn't sold her kidney, but she died anyway after 7 months while making drum kick from 377 layers from own recordings from own mic in own carpet.

 

Why is that? Just send a signal (efx bus) to a nice big loudspeaker in the castle hall, set up a stereo pair of MIC's at the other end of the hall to capture the (or more mics for multi-channel) return audio to the console. Seep up that efx channel in the mix on your your tracks and voila! DONE. Much less expensive than a fancy digital hardware unit or a big plate. You're using stuff that's already present (or should be) in the studio to get the job done on the cheap.

Yes. Sound will be 0 & 1s after processing but sound isn't everything. The most important is functionality.
When you have analog gear you can make some unconventional things with it.
For example on Behringer TD-3 you can set the waveform switch in the middle and then TD-3 will not make sound from oscillator but it will self oscillating then you can boost self oscillating signal by sending output into a filter or try the other way like using compressor.
It will give you laser type effects or you can make drum sounds from it.
Some guy even made video about it.

Now tell me. Can you make something like this in any 303 clone VST? Arturia Acid V? AudioRealism ABL3? Phoscyon 2? Any?

 

awesome hack. i sold mine, but will pick up another. they are dirt cheap used

 

Do you want to re-read that and maybe ask a slightly different question? I can only imagine you didn't mean to say what that initial post said.. Surely?

 

You can just remove 2 capacitors and distortion sound will transform from thin into more squelchy and thick.

 

Ok McGyver. Where I can buy cheap castle to set up my studio there?

 

Kate, type "123" if you are still alive!

The td-3 sounds good, especially with it running through your mixer. Possibly better than a plugin. But the build quality is why they are probably fetching about $30 used now, or will be soon enough. If there are any around in 10 or 20+ years or so, maybe they will become expensive too; but that will be because they all fell apart. Many of the originals were thrown in a dumpster because they didn't sound like a bass player.

 

Ask katey. I'm sure she'll lend you hers for whatever you need.

 

some plugins are good but some hardware SOUNDS BETTER. it is a fact..

 

I don't know if I call I'll get through because there may be poor coverage underground in the grave.

 

Are they sounds more dirty underground? Please make A B comparison.

PS.
Do you have any castle to rent cheap?

 

a secret studio in my home in Adelaide Windsor

 

Yeah, inside pc it is zeroes and ones, steps etc... But when you listen to this, you go back in analog thru DAC and then it is analog....

 

mate, I'm never against analogue equipment, it's possible to get a proper sound without wasting time with nonsense settings in analogue equipment, but nowadays VSTs have developed so much that someone who understands a little bit of sound synthesis, more precisely someone who knows what they are doing and what they will do, uses VSTs instead of analogue equipment, frankly, as long as there are presets that can be saved, it sounds practical.

 

What's the wrong with Behringer replicas?
Yeah, they are analog, costs like any popular VSTi or 2-3....but watched some vids, they seemed like very good. Non plastic sound. Phaatt, warm, big.. Not a shit... The question is just how long they work... Couple of years and brfgsuhsdcjtj bang?

 

I think you not readed what I writed there and you didn't watch video. Becuase what you said now.
I explained why VST didn't replace hardware. Also read my post from second page.
Of course you can use vsts and achieve similar basic sounds but they never replace workflow, crazyness and mojo of the hardware analog gear. Maybe AI in the future fullfill those needs. Like AI synths will be unconvetional and alive in the way hardware analog is.
But for now I think no.

 

i started with plugins.. then i bought more synths and so on.. i think it inspire more to make music working on hardware than software
software sounds thin.. something special about hardware i still dont understand. when i work with hardware synths its fun.. plugins not that fun to work with but only one benefit is that they load fast sounds and easy to use... however something special about gear.. money was a issue but not anymore.. so im going to buy more stuff for the studio...

 

I have a lot of fun with VST synths. Especially freshly cracked ones.
But they are just linear. You can't do crazy unconventional things with them and modify under the hood.
