Heh. I have four turntables in storage, two Technics and two Vestaxes, the crazy ones that can do +/- 60. used to be in some party-throwing crews in the Bay Area and played at a couple clubs, not many though. but yeah, don't worry, I've got turntables. :-)
Are you a hacker who likes to make music? You know how you feel precise control when you write code you understand, but you have to filter your understanding of your music through oversimplified GUIs which sometimes have terrible UX? I made a series of videos which teaches you how to write music sequencing software in Node.js and CoffeeScript. When I do it, I experience a clarity which makes it easy for me to make more exciting sounds. You may have the same experience. Upcoming episodes will also teach you how to use simple probabilistic artificial intelligence to write code which writes its own music (which I've already done in Ruby).
I'm not afraid of reason I just can't stand the piano roll editor or the arrangement page...
ReplyDeleteI've still not found a sequencer on OS X to call home, although energy xt2 is looking like the one of the moment.
Giles, if you don't already, buy a pair of turntables. Software is great, but the wax will change you're life.
ReplyDeleteRandom, yes, but as a hacker who loves to spin selling my turntables was the worst decision ever.
