Good shout, Actress is amazing. His sound is very "digital", for what it's worth.Opuswerk wrote:forgot to mention actress too btw.
I just typed a big long reply and accidently deleted it by pressing the back button.
In summary: been having a few sessions with MD and headphones lately. Made some nice sounding loops and sounds, particularly of the heavy warehousey variety, having had trouble making these deep kicks and hard-hitting hihats previously. Also had fun experimenting with making "synthy" sounds using the E12 machines' retrig settings (interesting stuff, you can basically make them oscillators and go wild with the FX and parameters).
Goes to show how long it can take to master complex machines like this, and how going back to them after a while of not using them and somewhat discounting them can give you a new lease of life with them... definitely gonna spend more time with it, especially when I have access to the rest of my setup again. I think I have to take back some of what I said before about the sound not fitting my needs - I'm sure it won't ever be my only drum source but the more I learn it the more it'll be worth holding onto.
