The Deluge is the last piece of gear I would ever sell. Its the perfect desert island device. I wish the pad labels were backlit and the UX was less cluttered but its an incredible instrument. I too have GRAS and have bought and sold most of my gear 3x times but the Deluge has been a constant through all of that.

Hm a bit too metallic for my tastes. I think Joranalogue Generate 3 could take you too similar grounds. Are the knobs also too close together? I had the Morpheus and the knobs had too few space to really wiggle them. I just had the same experience today by receiving the Nonlinearcircuits „the Hypster“. By the way are you aware of the chaos (Triple Sloth) moduler by NLC for drone duties?

In the end, a computer is also an instrument, that must be learned. It only has no limitations, so you could easily be trapped in that endless learning process. Everyone needs to figure out, which parts of it are necessary and learn them well. And when it’s time, stop learning and start making music, which is the hard part to be honest…

❤❤❤

Love your charisma, thanks for the video

I am an dawless musician. My brain is Akai MPC which I do all my work, compositions, sampling and mixing. The greats about is, the MPC is an Playstation for making music. I always prefer the hands on workflow, because for me feels like making music. Also, that can work with real knobs and play melodies and rythms on the pads. I could never make music on the pc only

Do you also mix music on your own?

You're right, you don't need 50 compressors... However. *Not all compressors are created equal* despite the fact that a lot of them will be... It's all about finding the correct tool that does a very specific job. Finding that tool that does that specific job is part of the journey Pro tip: Some of the best instruments and processors are free. However, master grade gear is not.

Both of these synths have discrete VCOs, and the Pro uses discrete typology in the filter. I am uncertain if this is the case with the Matriarch. Both sound lovely. I think the Pro has a better build quality, a vastly better sequencer, and more flexibility with LFOs and envelopes. The filter selection, wavetables, 32 modulation slots, tuned feedback, modulation lanes, and CV connectivity, shames the Moog. The Pro 3 is similar to the Subsequent 37-if you dial up the mixer past 12 o’clock, it’s going to get aggressive quickly. Both the Pro 3 and 37 can sound warm and mellow with the proper gain staging. There are also too many features buried in arcane key presses on the Matriarch. It’s not really knob per function. The fact that I can see my envelope shapes on the screen is a plus on the Pro 3. I wish it had a oscilloscope. I own the Pro 3, Matriarch, and Subsequent 37. I’m looking to sell the Matriarch. The Matriarch’s sound is locked into a particular time, which is great if you want that. Having both of these synths, I don’t get all the love towards the Matriarch, but to each his own. Great video!

its not the latest poly brute any more lol

this is a great video. I want to learn how to make music for films. mainly because I am trying to wrap a sci fi film.

Dawless lets you focus on creating sounds using your ears instead of your eyes, we end up with end product sounds pleasing the ear when we create music by listening more

Humans have spent almost a quarter century now creating pop "music" using tools like auto-tune, melodyne and beatdoctor that sounds like computers. Using AI (LLM), computers can now directly create music sounding like computers. We are cutting out the middle man.

If you like limitations and difficulty, go DAW-less. But for the majority of us, DAWs are a cheaper, easier way to produce music.

Great video, I subbed

We didn't find anything to go to besides make our own website as a backup. But very good video and nice Seinfeld quote at the end.

This sounds truly amazing!! I wonder how the GR-Mega will be after about 7 years from this one? But it doesn't take away the results here absolutely gorgeous!!

i met people from college learning this, i found amazing because i thought everyoe learns alone this thing

Good idea. Put this on RUclips to confuse beginners even more.

I found all of the music instantly forgettable in both the new Dune films. The music by Toto and Brian Eno in the 80s film was far superior, and actually unforgettable! The music in the 2000s mini-series is brilliant too. But this new Hans Zimmer stuff? It's awful, and forgettable. Having said that, the music for Mi:2 IS memorable.

must have never heard a SOPHIE song

Idiotic hot take for the sake of eyes and controversy. Won't watch. Your choices are to use computers or not use them. It's fine with me, either way.

It’s completely wrong to blame computers for what is essentially a lack of knowledge. If you don’t have the skills, then you will never get the best from your equipment. This is true for most things in life. It also explains why most professional musicians employ sound engineers, (who do know what is going on at a technical level). Knowledge is power.

Jameson Nathan Jones just watching this now as I do some stuff in the background. good video. Computers are fraught with problems when it comes to music, true. 101% agree though I'm only partically through your video. You can you know, use a pencil and staff paper and still make a living in film music. If your name is say, John Barry.

Beautiful music!

Whenever I open a DAW on my computer I feel like I'm about to make a spreadsheet in Excel

i love the monitor because of its stereo vca's but there is also the strymon A++ which is very simiar module to the others and is cheaper and has jsut 4 hp.

Its pronounced DAW (door) not Dee Ay Double U. There are a few oddball RUclipsrs saying Dee Ay Dubble You but there's also a few people calling MIDI meedee which is even more fucked up.

12 min of mumbling about basic stuff....

9:58 AU: * Points to an isomorphic keyboard *

My thoughts on this is that computers are the de-facto way to produce music efficiently. However, it does require training and practice - I don't think you could experimentally fall into the production engineering needs to make the best use of DAW and VST. Obviously you don't make dance music, but I believe a lot of producers make high quality music using only a computer and programming in midi directly. This wouldn't be the approach that works best for other styles of music, especially in your case where recording musician sessions is important - and midi wouldn't be the appropriate way to do it since after all, you want to record a performance with the actual sounds produced by your instruments. I can't imagine how I would ever recreate performances on the guitar without directly recording it, and I have used a session musician Cello recording myself before.

Imagine being a creative and at the same time being complicit with the tools' limitation to guide your process. This is an entire skill issue, hoping for technology to help you out if you didn't sort your head out.

Golden Ratio Whatever 😂

I would also highly recommend Pigments. As a fellow classically trained composer who likes to explore the electronic world, I was starting to get back into electronic music production a little while ago (because I had a couple bucks to spend on stuff for the first time in years), was chatting online with a film composer who was asking what people were thinking of for Black Friday deals, I said I'd love recommendations for something that is good with Granular Synthesis, Pigments was suggested, I looked into it, and said "yup, that's what I'm getting, it does everything I could want right now."

No they don't, silly!

Give touchscreen laptop or monitor a try . For me its opening fun way playing vst instrument or dabbling with fx and daw

thanks for the great video. your voice sounds like billy bob thornton

Pads make me feel bad because someone else made something that sounds cool and not me so much. You can literally press one key and neato shit happens. Virgin key presser vs. Chad plugin engineer.

Best jam I ever had was with my electric guitar & the birds singing outside my window, felt like a legit call & response thing, recorded it and if I try hard I can convince myself the cars driving past sound like the crashing of waves 🌊

Don’t tell me this I’m desperately trying to climb out of the analogue domain & join the new world. Having enough trouble just navigating complex routing possibilities on my interface! Already find my self making less music and spending more time puzzling over a screeen 🤦🏻

Steve Roach is really good with non-foundational, I’ve noticed

Fantastic. I love my Iridium but can easily get stuck building a sound. This is a great approach. Thanks for sharing it.

This is really helpful thank you!

Yeah. There are pros and cons in the world we live in today and we just have to adapt.

When you think about it, the computer music tradition is very similar to the tradition of playing spoons, pots and pans as percussion instruments, or playing the jug or washboard, or twanging a metal ruler on the edge of a table. But in many senses, it's the opposite. The Fairlight CMI, a graphical computer built for making music, is older than either the Macintosh or the first version of Windows. A lot of computer-made music grew out of the tradition of video game music and amateurs using video game consoles for sequencing. The original IBM PC included a beeper speaker. Apple makes music software for their own computers and gives one of those apps for free. In another sense, the computer has more in common with a music box... and in another, more in common with windchimes, your own heartbeat, or a workstation keyboard. I think more mathematical or geometric forms of synthesis (that don't use samples in the traditional sense, but use waveforms) do best on the computer. The computer is a great noisemaker. And the more you get familiar with it, the more the lines between its many musical uses become blurred. Is it composing, improvising, recording, sequencing, wave bending, mixing, mastering, sampling, subtractively synthesizing, waveform generating, editing, or performing? Who knows. The computer is the perfect place to work with a sort of "abductive" reasoning, unlike either the "inductive" reasoning of performing or the "deductive" reasoning of writing music with a pen in staff notation. You can make it work like a staff, like a sequencer, or like a modular playground. Some people like to use MIDI roll with a multi-sampler when writing drum parts. Others drag individual shot samples into audio tracks. Some people use things like Max for Live and get really intimate with the "axons and synapses" between the "neurons" of a modular sound, or even write code. Others don't even know what a square wave is... and that's okay! Some people buy samples to make them sound as much like an orchestra as possibles. Others have more fun screwing around with the voice of a former high school acquaintance or using no samples whatsoever. I believe the computer is an instrument... that can't truly be mastered. Autechre could probably do nothing that Skrillex does, or vice versa. But who is judging? Compared to traditional instruments with a pedagogy, everything is an extended technique. I think DAW-equipped computers are to synths as PC gaming rigs are to game consoles.

MIDI was a triumph of tech standardization that inspired the Internet as a platform and Web and so much besides. Dave Smith was viewed as a hero across the tech industry broadly.

Free from computers music yes ,, Your I hope you dont mind this your a adorable little man ...

Its thanks to you guys that i only spent 12 months learning music to become quite good. If i didn't have all these tutorials and informational vids that i came so far big ups 🥷👍👍

So...the answer is... No! Computers don't suck for making music.

Wearing a powder blue cape helps.
