Birth day energy!!!! What is your favorite NAMM 2023 announcement?

@DetroitMicroSound Год назад

Yours? Happy Birthday! Dunno what mine was. Haven't paid that much attention. Did you see the bashing Sonicware's XFM got on Bad Gear? I've had one since it came out. It's not as bad as he says. ...But that doesn't stop the bashing... Gear can be so high school popularity contest.... I know for sure people just want to bash on social media, without ever having played one....

@VIRALBEATS360 Год назад

Happy Born Day, you old buzzard! 🙌

@robertsc1 Год назад

Not a lot.

@AveMcree Год назад

@@DetroitMicroSound I think it's more of his brand than him actually attacking it. We all know Sonicware is probably one of the best things to happen in the Music Tech world.

@DetroitMicroSound Год назад

@@AveMcree Haters, doing what they do. I'm really glad he finally did a Sonicware synth I play, because now Yu Endo will need to really make the firmware completely dope now, and bug-free, to prove a lot of haters wrong. 😁

That polyend tracker took the check bro. I've been watching it for a few weeks and just bought it today. I love being on my laptop at work but with that tracker I'll be able to pull it out of the bag on site. I used trackers before but on an old iPod touch, this is straight up hardware. I'm ready to rumble.

Seeing how you might utilize modular and/or Eurorack is an interesting idea. Eurorack seems like an overwhelming endeavor! I owned the Minibrute 2S for a bit and thought it was decent value for what you get, but ultimately sold both it ands Drumbrute Impact… eyeing that Pittsburg semi-modular desktop piece now.

@AveMcree Год назад

that price is goofy

@kedonb2184 Год назад

Definitely do a Tracker Mini breakdown vid. I saw the $699 price on their site and not gon lie ma boi, closed tab immediately so I dont get too invested. But it is exactly what ive been thinking about pairing with my MPC One and my Roland VT4. Studio in a backpack vibes.

@JAAPIOJO Год назад

Ok you just made me feel good about the gear I already bought,lol.

@HOLLASOUNDS Год назад

I could definitely use that Cascadia, link My 3 sythersizors to it that are kinda to big to have out side by side on My desk. I have never used two physical sythersizors together for this reason.

@towardstar Год назад

the Uhe Filterscape redesign was the most interesting thing I saw this year

@dopedrums Год назад

The high price is not only because of the 8h battery, you now get stereo sampling (hallelujah), A much more powerful CPU and 4X more memory and a pretty decent mic to sample with. They're going to need to bump the price of the original tracker or this will compete with sales, straight up, or even better.. a new version of the original tracker would be nicer tho as I need my jog wheel and button grid.

Yeah..NAMM this year was very disappointing

@antikytheramechanism7909 Год назад

Cass-CAY-dia with the accent on CAY. Like cascade? It is an ARP 2600 clone. You should try the M8 tracker which has sampling and does about 50 times what the new Polyend does.

Very small and not that accurate. Then again, I’m spoiled by the MPC and Maschine pads.

@neoSoulLofi Год назад

I was there and it was good but other than microphones and audio interface releases it was mostly highlighting the hardware that was released last quarter of 2022.Nice free swag tho

@HOLLASOUNDS Год назад

aruba basically looks like Machine and attempting to fit imbatwean that and a MPC not sure there is room in the market for that. The SP 404 is in the same market however comes with something different it's not just another MPC inspired device.

That Nektar Aruba (Aura) looked so nice, that I ordered one off of Amazon over the weekend. The workflow is really nice in Ableton Live, which is what I use. I watched a couple of videos over the years on this one and everyone seemed to love love love the pads on it. Can't go wrong, for the price @ $293 vs a Push 2 @ $799 and ya... I don't like the pads on a Push. I will let you know how it goes.

@RomeAround Год назад

I love my Aura! I have two. I want to mod my 2nd Aura out. Love my Nektar P1. The only thing from NAAM that I’m definitely getting is the Nektar Panorama CS12 . Definitely an upgrade. Check it out Ave. Don’t sleep on Nektar Technology. Still MPC Gang tho. Lol

I went live with SkyDust 3D, the day before NAMM, and again the following day. The one thing I kept saying is how much better it would be to play it with the Osmose...low and behold, that was the setup, at NAMM. It doesn't look like they did much of anything for the 50th Anniversary of Hip-Hop, either. Nothing new to look at beyond that Polyend. I am glad I didn't go, this time around.

@VinylWave11 Год назад

I'm glad I didn't waste my time going to NAMM. Personally I am more interested in MOOG MiniMoog Model D or an AKAI MPC with a real update including much higher specs (Processor and RAM). Nothing on the list of from what I've heard of is going to get my money. I am interested in modular and semi modular. I do love modular.

@AveMcree Год назад

Yeah it was mids this year

@VinylWave11 Год назад

@@AveMcree I think I am setting in this year to really focus on production, and, a lot less on purchasing. Since my recent synth and sampler purchases I have a great appreciation for just sitting down and deeply learn the hardware I have. I have in the past purchased a lot of VSTs. I am not very happy about it because I am not very likely to use VSTs, even great ones, if I have anything hardware that I can get close to my Idea. I now have enough hardware synth power and hardware sampling power, and field recording hardware to really do anything I want to do. I purchased the Moog Matriarch and Waldorf Iridium Keyboard last year. With what I already had (MPC one and SP 404 MK2, and some other great synths), for me to open my wallet, it is going to have to be something really special that none of my current equipment can do; and, I have not seen anything yet.

@sinewaymusic Год назад

Help me understand why the Mini should cost less than the OG Tracker? The main cost isn't determined by the physical size or the total amount of plastic mass, but rather the chips (cpu, memory) and other vital components such as the screen, batteries, etc, and of course manufacturing costs. If anything, the Mini could end up having a higher COGS due to these upgrades. I just don't see why this notion that the price is off is so widespread in the community.

@AveMcree Год назад

Price is the least bit of its worries tbh. They’re marketing towards an audience that doesn’t care.

@AveMcree Год назад

Btw they should be worried about price because of vast amount of samplers on the market 😑

@sinewaymusic Год назад

@@AveMcree Yeah I agree with the competition. I guess my point was that between the OG and this new Mini, it's not unreasonable that they cost the same.
