I think one of the things that helped keep r/synthesizers active was the automatic creation of weekly threads like “Friday Hangout”, where you could leave casual thoughts that might not feel worthy of a top-level post. So, why not try something similar here?

Consider this a trial run. If people like it, maybe we’ll make it a weekly thing. I welcome suggestions for a better title.

    Anyone got a sampletrek? Think this unit is a bit of underrated as a central recording and song composition device. I mean it looks a bit funny but the clips and global tracks and the slicing seems pretty good. Sure switching to an MPC one is not far off but it seems even the small monitor is something that I like.

        Especially used once at around 340 are really attractive right now to get the dawless setup going. Electribe 2 is a bit annoying to sample long phrases. I stopped myself by just saying BItwig is totally fine for this with the akai apc mini.

          Yeah but while I like the idea of dawless, after all this time (and money) spent on it I still don’t have any decent music. That’s all from 99% daw 😕 so I guess it’s just not for me.

            I do all of the song structure and stuff in DAW and made most tracks that ended up on a album in it. However I prefer jammng on hardware as I already stare at that screen all day :D Also the limitation lets me focus on one or two machines. DAW is distraction hell for me.
