@phesago i've never even touched a modular rig before...
I'm sure it would be an entirely new rabbit hole

@DataJanitor would love to see a photo of a converted closet to recording booth,
pls post them soon smile)

@phesago indeed I do --- That TR-505 is on my todo list to bend..

That gameboy sitting on the bench right now (in pic), with an LTC1777 mod, i'm testing it with different resistance options -- switching between 10k and a 100k between the potentiometer changes pitch variables considerably ... ! (but becomes less stable)

At the moment,
Renoise to draft up ideas, and trigger samples and slices very quickly....
But everything I do still seems to find it's way in Live for the mastering phase of my workflow...

I've been on the hunt to find the 'perfect DAW' and wasted too much time looking for it...
However, I hear BITWIG will be announcing their prices/dates at NAMM later this month!

So I will definitely be investigating it as another option to explore...

I love @lazerbeats sammichsid and midibox central setup...
Awesome to see some renoise screens open as well smile

@The Alastair Collins - Your image is 404'ing

I would love me some two tier keyboard stand action... and a set of studio monitors instead of my TV speakers... but apartment living...

@Phesago - that looks amazing!! so many channels!!!!!!

@CK --- that is one of the most intense rack setup's I have ever seen,
Complete with server case!!

@midimachine jelly of your TB

I have a bit more hardware floating around (like a commodore 64 with MSSIAH cart (but replacing with SmamichSID), and other weird noise making devices.

But I've tried to set my studio up in a way that I'm actually using or have the ability to use bits and pieces of hardware rather than cluttering up my space.

That took me a lot longer than I thought it would!!
However! Here is my first week's submission...

I like it!, I'm in!! Let's do this wink
(will post my video tonight or tomorrow night)
(I got a coffee machine for XMAS (this will help), w00!!)

@Little-Scale excellent video, Track's hypnotic-value increased!

Seeing a bit of a trend here, however.

-- Use (as in, *really use!!*) some of this hardware I've either built or purchased over the years (but not limited to)
- CHIP: finish building and play with SammichSID
- MidiNES (Stereo Modded NES), LTC1799 Modded DMG, DMG vs Electribe ESX via MIDI Sync
- Use GEM Wizard 326 Organ -- break that. (break it lovingly) (just make good use of it!!)
- Circuit Bend and use my TR-505!!!
- Write some MIDI interface using an EEG kid's toy I've recently hacked to convert brainwaves to midi data via arduino serial data... (it's like a random number generator but not so random)
- Play with Renoise 3.0 Beta!!
- Learn and Play with AudioGL (!!!)
- Get better at Keyboard/Piano improv! (improve in general) (I stemmed from playing keyboard as a kid...)

-- There is probably heaps more.. I should get a whiteboard....

I want to also release some source when possible (XRNS, Processing) (aforementioned EEG MIDI thingy)

And....most of all actually release a song every week... without fail - no more unfinished stems, they can go somewhere too! (tho, feeling a lot more positive and actively creative about it this year)

Ok, today is record day, see you all in just under T-Minus 2 days to go! smile

Would really love that...
I think after actualizing doing this in 2012 (wow, so long ago now))

That there would be a different approach to doing a song... now .. given some painful ways of learning to go about it in 2012...

pls give us the challenge back! - miss u weeeklybeats..

Stream! -- Might be fixing a few issues! with sound atm, so we start at 4:30

I'll keep everyone posted about Monthly EPs once it's all ready to go. I'll post here and on the FB page Phil made.

Drumur: Coming to the WB party in Melbourne? YEEAHHHHH

I'm super keen to know any details about a Monthly EP.
me and a mate of mine have started a electronica band using some weird hacked around hardware (MIDI Drums from Band Hero etc) (were just throwing stems at each other at the moment)
But it would be an excellent motivator.

cool idea actually.
Done!!

If Derris-Kharlan plays some live chiptar, I'm mounting a camera to it!!!
