Et une eau bien chaude pour un meilleur son•

I need to prepare the acoustics, but its a work in process.

As far as rackmount sound gear goes, what would you suggest adding in this space; one 2U piece or two 1U pieces?

I have an MPC2000XL and an MPC2500, so as much as I would love an S3000XL, I don't think I NEED one.

A system I built for Getter a few years ago when he was doing the Visceral Tour. Although the tour ended early it was still a really amazing experience to work with Tanner and help him reimagine his live performance.

Most of my systems have very similar components, the reason being things happen, stuff get lost or damaged and having unique or outdated items can be a real pain to replace. If you are creative enough you can build simple physical systems and put your creative efforts in to the programming of the gear and your session.

This was Getters first tour with Ableton as his main audio playback instead of CDJs so we decided to give him multi output fx with Native Instruments Guitar Rig via 2 x Akai MPD 226 controllers. The left MPD controlling FX on Vocals, Music and Samples and the righ MPD controlling fx for Drums and Bass. This way he could put delays on certain things and simultaneously use beat repeat for others. The Ipad in the center is running Lemur for song selection and assigning audio fx to the different channels. All stage gear was powered and sending midi to and from an offstage rack.

The rack held the audio interfaces for sending out stems but also had the ability to take in audio from his main wireless handheld and the talkback mic from the playback operator. Once that audio reached Ableton we built an IEM mix in a return and sent that out the audio interface into his IEM rig. With 2 x 4U cases we had the entire control system for the show, the MPD and Ipad pedalboard was carried in another Pelican, along with the 100ft loom.

Finally made my mess of equipment into a somewhat cohesive setup lol it’s messy there needs to be serious wire management but you know what? I did the laundry and cut the grass too…. BEFORE the wife came home ✊🏾

How do you guys spend off days? (If you have them)

In all honestly I just got ableton (rent to own is a godsend) which also inspired me to get everything on one desk, for those of you with an MPC and ableton PLEASE give me tips and set up advice, I could always be missing something. Thanks!!

Couple photos from my room at work. Was working on building up this portable techno studio over the winter and filled the case a few weeks ago. The main intention was to build a setup to create samples, loops, and fx to be used in ableton but still to have something straight forward enough I could use the rack in a live setting. Occasionally Ill route the eurorack straight into the tr8s for jamming without a DAW but typically its all routed into the interface

Its a 13u case comprised of:

Top: Moog Labyrinth, 2hp Euclid, Doepfer quad lfo, clouds clone. I/O, power

Mid: Moog DFAM, mutable instruments links, maths

Below is the Vermona DRM MK4

Bottom of the rack has a power distribution and a Scarlett 18i20 interface

I got my first piece of gear 2 years ago, a PO-33. It took a few misses and learning, but I think I have something that scratches all my itches. I have a few starter songs and I've started taking music lessons again so I can improve my composition. It's also just fun to make little rhythms or noodle on a scale with some interesting sounds. I do have a padded bench to sit on, it's just not in the photo.

Greetings all, i’m currently in the process of building my home studio mainly for producing, mixing and some vocals here and there. Now i know it’s far from the top notch but it’s a work in progress and i can’t wait for it to be. I’ve been thinking about acoustically treating the room so i just put these foam squares up (i know they aren’t real bass traps) and im after any help really. my plan is to build some acoustic bass traps to put in the open sections on the wall and foam and artwork around them. Any help is much appreciated

The primary controller is a Steven Slate Raven MTi MAX monitor using OSC/Pilot for the software, Steven Slate and Deadmau5 were super supportive and it’s exactly what we were looking for.

The 2 Sway controllers were also a favorite in this rig, allowing Nick to not only control his multi output effects racks but to also move audio around the sphere in real time, a first at the sphere. Thanks to Jeremy from Audimalabs for being there every step of the way.

To control our synths and samplers we used the Erae Touch 2 and had a custom keyboard controller from Hackin Toys. Really amazing gear that helped Nick to add to the already epic show. Edgar from Embodme and Xavier from Hackintoys , I appreciate your help and support.

For our main playback controller we used the tried and true Liobox 2 by Gooroo Controllers and all our audio fx were created and ran in Native Instruments Guitar Rig, literally one of the only ways to have DJ style FX from Traktor and there were about 60 instances to effect the 100+ channels of playback.

This was a huge undertaking and I can’t thank Nick and his team enough for trusting and believing in me. Also special thanks to mi pez Carlos for helping with the patch to control the spacial audio and guiding us through this whole process.

Third Picture is the Live Electronic Music setup in case anyone’s wondering, I usually incorporate the larger midi keyboard with it as well when I’m figuring stuff out. Would love feedback or comments if I can improve anything or if there’s any suggestions.

A few years ago I helped build this live rig for Flumes 2019 tour. It consisted of 3 separate stations that were placed around the stage so he could perform in more than one static place.

The man controller being the Roli Blocke which triggered synths, samples and FX. The MPD doubled as a backup for the Roli Blocks and the faders controlled his multi output fx.

Pictured is 1 of 3 stations made for the Glitch Mob using Alienware 17 laptops and Dell Canvas 27-inch touchscreens. Akai MPD226 for fx control and Roland mid drum pads for samples. Software for touchscreens made by Chris Legaspi, button size and quantity change with complexity of melody being played. If it’s a simple 4 note melody only 4 buttons appear, the more complex the part the more buttons appear. All done with automation with Max and Ableton

Posted my station here a few weeks back, and since then I've built and installed custom acoustic panels out of 4" rock wool! Excited to get to work at my new battlestation :)

before people freak, I use headphones! no monitors yet!

Performance rig I put together for Jordan of Majid Jordan. Consists of an IPad running Lemur, Akai MPD 232, and a Novation 61SL MkIII. Everything connects into an Iconnectivity MioXM and send midi over RTP to the off stage playback rig.
