Just getting started out with my new setup and I'm finding it a lot easier to just sit down and jam when I have a spare 10 minutes now. I've added my Zoom H1 to the audio out pipeline so if things are going OK I can just record straight to that without worrying about software. This really suits my way of working, It's just a bit limited to playing bass lines live over drums at the moment without any sequencer on the mininova. Here's some of my first twitting about on the Acid preset with a drumbrute backing and a bit of compression and distortion on the combined output.

Awes, sounds like a lof of fun. What's doing the filtering later on? Does the zoom 1 have FX on it?

I do not know what the fuck this is

It's a 2nd pass on something I'm super enjoying and want to add a lot more too. Sounds a bit brutal, quite like having Francis Bacon and Melvyn Bragg in there tho.

Mininova and drumbrute are straight into a behringer mixer which has onboard multi fx, but in between the mixer and h1 recorder, I also have a Korg kaoss pad mini for some more dynamic effects application.

Little ditty that popped out playing with Arturia's latest emulations.

Solina and Synclavier. Lovely girls.

Learning my way around the Circuit. What a great little tool. I was torn between this and the Electribe but I think I've made the right choice. It's just so accessible.

Added Neptune to last months planets entry. A slow lumbering piece for one of the giants. I still need to sit down and work on mastering techniques.

Started a load of things haven't finished them.

Though I do like this so far, the constant rising shouldn't be super annoying but it makes me grin.

Pretty happy with the groove in the 2nd part from ~ 2:10 onwards

Bought a plugin (stutteredit from IZotope was on offer at plugin boutique) and overused it death

Very rough mix with guide vocals. Two weeks after we put Stand Down David out there, he was gone. Fuck knows what effect this'll have if we eventually put this out...

Loving the weight behind that!

I'm still trying to find ways to avoid using the computer for music, so another track on the donkeys old Boss Portastudio with it's fancy USB1.

Mostly recorded in bed. It's mostly iPhone apps (DM1, Impaktor, Droneo) with beats aligned manually.. ie. hit record and start drum machine manually repeat until you hit sync. Didn't attempt to line the starts of patterns so happy accidents. Impaktor is brilliant for polyrhthms too it's running patterns of 8, 9, 12, 16 steps here simultaneously.

Pretty impressed at the sound quality out of this Portastudio. Couldn't resist importing into Studio 1 and adding a couple of guitar bits, but this is pretty much as it sounds straight out of the Portastudio.

A Thing that I might develop further.
