to tell you the truth, I don't really know if the dog approves it, hence the question mark. He doesn't bark at it, so that's something.. right?

Basic 909+303 combo, nothing ground breaking. It did make me move tho and I wanted to share it with you guys.

I decided to change my gain staging technique a few days ago and I'm still not sure if I like it or not. Before I used to saturate the kick, the percs and some other stuff using preamp overdrive but as a result I had to keep my faders very low. Now I keep all my faders up at 100% and mix using only the preamp gain knobs. I saturate the kick and percs using TR8s' internal overdrive, the 303 has a dedicated distortion anyway and I don't really want to distort other synths.

Genuenly interested, what's your approach to gain staging and for what genre?

but idk what to speak/sing so i just make a bunch of weird noises. It kinda works.

I've finally got my JP8k to work flawlessly. Both channels are working, no noise, nominal output levels. I am very happy!

I also made a little sidechain trigger with an Arduino and it works just as expected. Might post it here if there's enough interest.

Enjoy your week, synth people ♥️
