Tech Talk: BEC (Electronic Beats TV) 

Hey Wanderlust

I'd rather Daydream, so I'll keep it modular 👽

I can attest to this

Aww thank you Julia, right back at you!!! ❤❤❤

Just noticing her Mbase11, Reaktor and then talking about overdrive on all drums...you can tell she knows what's up!

TB-3 for life 😂

You could also try to make loops; then hit rec button and record a quick sketch of an arrangement, then arrange. I do it like this. Works really well.

Model 24 I think. She mentions it in her masterclass video here on YT

Don’t forget to be original…or not.

@@buzzheddyou can have completely different results with identical workflow - which is actually case as this ableton / daw centered hybrid setup is what vast part of producers uses nowadays from ambient to terrorcore

It is not always about having shitload of money, it is about priorities and passion. Few years ago I was thinking if to buy a better car or to buy a synthesizer. I bought a synthesizer and was happy.

She could of acquired that gear over 10 + years. Plus as a professional you can get tax rebates on the gear you buy.

not quite. this is year of acquisition plus you can get tons of gear at "price" aka a fraction of the cost (and sometimes for free) depending on various deals and work-related trade offs. trust me, it's possible in various ways besides paying full price

I'd say she worked hard to be able to afford all of that gear, so what's your point? I doubt she's selling drugs or robbing houses on the side.

An up-and-coming European DJ famous enough to be on this program easily make 1500-5000€ per set when out playing. A good agent can get then 3-4 of those a week. Unless you create "expenses" for youself, such as building a studio, you're just giving your money away to the government for nothing.

Interesting perspective! It really looks like what you decribe, but I never used one. Can you give some more details why you hate that machine so much? I got a TR-8 just because I wanted to give it a try and did not like it after the first encounter. Maybe because I anticipated it as an all-in-one-version of the 909, 808 and also both the 707 and 727. Since I have an love the original machines, the mistake I made was to compare them directly. But then, I revisited the TR-8 and approached it with a different mindset: to use it on its own. Exploring its boundaries and limits. And then when I stayed within these, I now see it as a unique Roland drum machine and for the prive it's fun and can sound and groove interesting imho.

Says the man who obviously loves Volca sample packs.

@@devawer So what ? I also use a Digitakt with thousands of samples wich I sampled myself.

@@wackerburg I don't like how you can't copy and paste sequencer pages without pausing the device. I can't stand the fact that the TR8s has only one knob for effects per track. The menus are really really clunky. You can only load samples from an sd card and not straight into the device. I only ever heard the TR8s with it's factory samples and quite frankly I always found 90% of those pretty terrible. The pitch knob has a really low range making it basically unusable for tons of samples. The device also felt pretty cheap to the touch. There were some more, but those are the details I remember from the top of my head. I'm not sure if there was a way to program probabilities into the step sequencer, but I believe no, so that's also a point.

@@devawer Me?

Is it good or bad that you've never heard of her? I'm sure there are a lot of other producers you don't know among the thousands out there. I think everyone does.
