The friggin stereo panning and mikes bass whammy at around 2:30 mins in is top tier ear candy
Edit: Just wanted to add that I’m young and this is my subjective opinion, obscured by attendance bias. I’m sure there are better openers and I want to hear em all! Drop your favorite opener in the comments :)
My proof? I have been on hold for almost a month while Arturia reorganizes their USA customer support service department. I have a 2000$ synth that is essentially a paperweight at the moment.
They said directly to me quote "We are currently working on an internal reorganization of our repair centers in the USA so we can improve the quality of our services into the future and for this reason currently we don't have the option to receive your MatrixBrute for repairs at the moment".
That was April 20th. It's been almost a month now and no response. Based on the wording, I'm of the opinion that this is a country wide hold. And even though my device is several years old and thus no longer under warranty, I'm confident that this issue will affect anyone even if they still have an active warranty. They didn't say that they can't receive my device because it's out of warranty. That's not the issue. They just can't receive it period.
Therefore, it is entirely plausible to assume that anybody who receives an Arturia product will have to wait if there is any issue that requires servicing.
I'm not telling you what to do, I'm just warning you that this is the current state of their customer services. Maybe buy from other companies that have proven their reliability and customer support, because as it stands right now, Arturia seems to be unreliable if one of your devices needs servicing or repair.
its its absolutely killer and the songs flow between eachother like its one long medley of bliss.
By this I mean do they have any songs where they always follow the structure, down to a tee? No type 1 or type 2 jams.
We always hear about the longest jam this, best jam that, it got me thinking, do they have any that they always play the same, no ifs ands or buts?
just wanted to say I love yall! 100+ comments in 30 minutes, I appreciate you guys immediately throwing some knowledge my way 😎
cleaning a pool with my headphones on right now and I keep looking over my shoulder thinkin I hear something behind me but its just the music. Incredible when listening in stereo but it sounds like quad audio!
EDIT: Eat good food, Listen to good music!
Hey y'all,
I play keys in a jazz fusion band, (think Herbie Hancock, Weather Report, psychedelia with lots of interplay).
I noticed that I tend to lead most of the solos, which makes me feel a bit guilty. What I love about this style is that moment where everything blends together and it's hard to tell who's leading, just pure interplay.
I talked to our guitarist about it and she mentioned that when she takes a solo, she sometimes feels stuck or falls back on muscle memory, especially over static harmony or minimal chord changes.
I offered to do some work with her 1 on 1, but I realized that my entire concept of soloing comes from the perspective of a keyboardist, and I don't want to give advice that doesn't translate well to guitar.
So, I'd love to hear from guitarists;
What helps you break away from muscle memory?
How do you approach soloing over static or minimal harmony?
Is there anything a keyboardist can do in a band setting to help inspire you or make soloing feel more open?
Any insight is appreciated 🙏
Absolutely wild. It’s like there’s 5 people on stage. Maybe a rough night for vocals but type 2 theme made it worth it!
Thx yall, have a good one 🤙🏻
Edit: I had to add, amazing work from Mr. McConnell segueing back into simple! Missed it the first time around but page hints at this transitional motif, which comes back around through trey back into simple! I think this is what trey meant when as long as you are listening, it’s impossible to run out of ideas…
I’m running a hammond XK-1 through a pedal board with a bunch of effects, (overdrive modulation, filters, delay, reverb etc…). I am particularly fond of this envelope filter growler effect on my M5 Stompbox modeler.
My dilemma is quite simple but a head scratcher nonetheless.
Do I run my organ into a Neo Ventilator 2 or a Leslie 2101 mk2 + 2121?
My main concerns are portability and the potential for my effects chain to accidentally blow up the 2101. I already sorta blew up a 2101 when setting up a previous rig, partially due to user error. I am keen to not make the same mistake twice.
I just got done looking at a leslie 2101+2121 for sale on marketplace. it had a weird buzz when I played a low F that went away when pressing down on the back panel, however we opted not to purchase until the unit is fully working without any quirks.
This is concerning to me because the unit is already misbehaving even before running my pedal chain into it. I have had issues with the envelope filters clipping if the levels on the mixer/PA aren’t set up right.
Let’s say the unit is completely fine and I have the option between the Vent or the Leslie 2101, for what I am going for, which is a gig ready, reliable rig that includes my various effects, do you think the leslie is a solid investment for years to come?
if the answer is anything but absolutely yes, I’m leaning towards the ventilator.
Thoughts?
