Just got a motorcycle!

When the guy went to sign over the title he realized it’s actually a broken chain of ownership. It was a bunch of friend of a friend deals, after the initial sale, and it finally wound up with him. So there is a single title transfer on it.

The guy seemed very earnest and not a thief, I think the bike just got passed around a few years.

I have a bill of sale and insurance, and this what is now a dirty title. I want to register it today, at the small town office in my area.

Anyone been through this before? I don’t want to ride dirty and the season is almost over. Thx!

(Btw it’s a DR650 and I’m so pumped to whip it)

Hey all. Looking for experiences from DN2 users on how you run through your patterns or play expressively with your DN2.

I’m thinking in terms of macros as I’ve been spending time with the A4 lately. Leveraging the performance macros is really pretty incredible. Especially because one knob can affect multiple tracks at once. I’m looking at getting into a DN2 to bring FM into the game. I’m trying to not think in terms of what I can’t do, but in different ways to use what is there.

I know that I can set up mod wheel to parameters from an individual track.

I’ve also been considering some type of midi controller so I can map CCs, but as I understand it, most controllers will send only on one channel at a time. I think DN2 would be particularly fun using a midi keyboard.

Any experience or advice on how you give your patterns life and expression as you play through appreciated!! Reload commands? Midi controllers? Button mashing?

Thx yall 🙇‍♀️

Hey all. I come from hardware world, though still kind of a newbie. I’d consider myself somewhere intermediate with sound design and sequencing. I’ve got a handle on basics, but am still very much in an exploratory phase. I’ve become pretty interested in playing around itb, partially for deeper experimentation and learning sound design, more interesting sequencing, and for space considerations to try many types of VSTs without having to fill up a studio with hardware while learning.

I’m curious about Bitwig because the Grid seems something easier to wrap my head around than MAX or Reaktor (but I am very curious about Reaktor!!). I’m particularly interested in sequencing that’s a little deeper than where I’m getting with hardware. I think what I’m talking about is called MIDI Effects, or maybe generative controlled sequences or even just events. As an example: making it so a snare hit isn’t a static roll every time it comes around. But maybe one time the space between the hits is a little different, or it fades in differently, or the sends to reverb are changing. I’ve heard that people like Bitwig or Reaktor for sound design, and go to MAX for more interesting control possibilities. Thoughts?

Separately but related: I’m also trying to wrap my head around how people jam to recordings on Bitwig. Are you using mouse control and midi faders? Are you launching sequences/scenes? A lot of tutorials I see are showing people composing their scenes, where as I’m more interested in zoning in and usually working with developing and playing with sounds and recording those, as opposed to “songs”. I’ve never used song mode on an Elektron.

Anyway, curious to hear any advice and experiences for the Bitwig-curious in the realm of these topics!

Hey sound people, looking for a gear recommendation.

I’ve been borrowing a 1989 Quadraverb from a friend, so far using it for vocals. I use heavy FX on vocals, and I’m getting somewhere I really like with it.

I havnt tried running it as with aux send of my full/parts of my mix besides vocals yet, but probably will experiment with that for some big washes.

My vocals seem to need some compression, or maybe it’s my mic (I am a NOOB and have never been good at making things sound good). As soon as I start singing louder it jumps HARD into the red on the Quadraverb meter. I’ve noticed this on my computer interface as well. It isn’t a smooth stepping at all, and maybe this has to do with my beat-to-shit Shure SM58.

I’m considering if I should get a compressor for vocals. Maybe as a full insert on my vocals.

I’m looking for advice on:

-Any modern units that I can really slam my vocals with layered fx. Heavy use of all 4 Quadraverb FX are working well. Or should I just get one for myself.

-Are there any decent units where I could get an all-in-one vocal compressor that also carry some heavy fx possibilities. Being able to compress vocals as well as route parts of my mix thru Aux sends would be a bonus, but assuming that somethin like this doesn’t exist.

-If an all-in-one isn’t a thing, what type of simple vocal compressor would you recommend? I don’t need a Cadillac. This will be mostly for small venues where I’m trying to just send a direct stereo line to a house system. Not anticipating much help from a live sound engineer.

I’m not looking for cutting edge stuff, don’t need app control. I’m dumb. For reference I make heavy, industrial-leaning hypnotic music w/ electronic gear. Vocals with a wide dynamic range and very wet fx.

Thanks in advance!
