Age-old debate… now brought to Reddit! I’ll be here all night folks.

I kept thinking about how I have all these CDs and records rotting in my closet so I decided - as a hail mary - to put up some "bundles" with like 3 records + 3 CDs, or "the vinyl bundle" with all my available records etc..

Well... they sell! Not all the time but someone just ordered one this morning and I think that's 3 or 4 that I've sold now? Even sold out of one of the CDs in the bundle so now that whole bundle is sold out. I will make another without that CD.

So just don't think "no one will want to drop a chunk of cash all at once". There will be people who have resources and are into your music enough to drop it. This is merch that is for those customers.

Also, sell your discographies digitally! I've had fans drop more than asking price on it.

The other thing (not BandCamp related) is I do consignment at local record shops and national indie shops that focus on my niche genres. It's better to have merch out on the shelves than rotting in your closet at home! I'll admit, it's a hassle but if you want to move those extra records over the years it makes a dent.

The band name "This Immortal Coil" is so fucking perfect too!

I have an LFO that I'm using to control panning via CV but I don't want it to pan completely to the left and right. How can I decrease the "depth" of the LFO... like increase the minimum value and decrease the maximum value of it?

Just some early fucking around and learning how to "play" my new setup

Would this track be more death industrial or martial industrial?

TLDR: BandCamp banned a new track from SPKtR as AI even though they claim it wasn't but they did use AI artwork and video.

Absolute classic in my book. Underrated release and artist.

Just an incredible module overall and extremely fun to use! Everytime I use the interface I find joy in it. The buttons are so fun and it's just so incredibly intuitive.

I'm honestly not even using it for anything "fun" like sample mangling or generative audio. I am using it as a multiple utility but I've built some crazy logic into it which has basically allowed me to create some really cool functionality out of thin air.

Delving deeper into it has been extremely rewarding. It's also a massive workhorse. I have a live patch that has so many features and I'm only at about 75% CPU capacity.

It's a lot of HP but so worth it.

My first gear tutorial video. Please be kind!

I'm trying to develop a noise mangling signal chain that creates effective cut-up harsh noise and industrial atmospheres. This is the first experiments with an early prototype.

Next steps will be to increase signal processing with the Octatrack. This is the setup I'm dealing with. I have other modules I can swap out but as you can see I have limited HP in this DIY case. I'd love to be able to add the following features but not sure exactly how yet:

1. Stereo separation SFX - So sad the 100 Grit is not stereo!!! I want a switch I can hit for separate signal path of left vs. right channels to give a dramatic feel of space. Right now it sounds harshest when I have the 100 Grit AFTER the Endorphins Ghost so it's mono currently, it just sounds so much better that way.

2. Crossfade between Dry/Wet - I will probably use Octatrack to do this but haven't gotten into it yet - one thing I found out is that you can't assign the Cue output to the slider in Octatrack which fucking KILLS me.
