Out of all the tracks I made this was the hardest.
To get everything to fit rythmically/sonically, and to form a story (with sub stories!) took around 100 samples and to get to that number I had to audition roughly 3000 (!).

Hello internet friends, it's rough out there so I found y'all some tech jobs that have positive (or at least, less evil) impacts on the world. Here's a thread of what I've found for you this week ⬇️

First one that will be re-released in a about two weeks from now is:
The Return EP.
Made this originally in 2022. Mostly with the #Roland #MC-707 and #TR-8S, and a bit of Ableton.

Thanks!
It was planned so not entirely unexpected. :)
Got some releases to put up tonight I guess. 😜

For comparison, Ditto, on the cheapest sub (19 EUR/year), responds within 1-2 days and got my issues sorted in another 1-2. Which is absolutely fine given the small amount I pay them.

Still insane that the quickest way to get your stuff delisted is to stop your subscription, not actually reaching out to their support.
Note: delisting requires action on their end. So they prioritize that over helping paying customers.

Looks like SoundCloud did indeed remove all releases from stores that I published with them. Which is fine, as I will re-distribute them under the same ISRC, but different distributor (Ditto). Not all of them will make the cut though.

Yeah, and the layout also shifts, e.g. if you turn around it's an entire different place than where you came from.

Similar here. Sometimes I even realize mid dream that the connection doesn’t make sense.

Nice! The intro bit reminded me of Psychick Warriors ov Gaia.

The MC-707 is really underrated, it's insane what Roland managed to cram into it and how flexible it is. I know of folks who got it just to use as an FX box/small mixer.
And ofcourse sequencing external gear with it. Which is what I will be using it for, as the TB-303/TD-3 sequencer is, well, shit.

Maybe. There are more configurations possible with the combination of these three devices, so need to think about that for a bit.
I'd like the different faders/controls for each drum instrument, but individual routing/mixing/FX etc. also brings it into a whole different ballpark budget wise ;)

That said, digital services are needy because their KPI is “daily/weekly/monthly active users” so they nag you to get you inside the app/service for that reason.
But also: daily login bonuses in games; same purpose.

In many cases, the feedback is only used to punish whatever overworked service employee happened to help you that day. That’s why I usually don’t give negative feedback for cleaners, shop employees etc.

Last, but not least: the MC-707 is also an audio interface so I can feed all its tracks into a DAW. Or take DAW output and feed it through my analogue mastering chain. 😎
Quite liking this setup, it’s so powerful and flexible.

I love the MC for that. The returns can also be used as input for a total of 4 mono or 2 stereo inputs. So I could also route a TR-8S into it and still have a spare mono track left. :)

I owned one before. Sold it in 2023, but I miss it.
With the MC-707 I also don’t need a mixer since I can sequence the TD-3 from the MC and route the audio through the external input in the MC into one of its tracks, which also gives me an EQ and insert effect.

Now all I need is a TR-8S and I'm fully back in business. :)
