    "Learning music production never really does not end". Certainly got that right! So cool to highlight your associates. I think it makes a big difference putting faces to the sounds. It adds a lot of context. It's funny because I was heading over to your channel just as this dropped. I just wanted to say how much I am enjoying Bones. It's quite obvious you put an awful lot of thought and care into it. I was super impressed how I could think, oh, I could really use a crash or a roll here, and you have the perfect thing ready to slide in. You can make some amazing kits with it. Anyway, thanks again and thanks for the lovely film. You keep rocking guys.

    • @songathletics
      @songathletics 3 месяца назад

      hey Richard and thanks for your comment! the key usp of OSS is that it singularly, and specifically, allows you to scroll up and down your one shots, such that anything you're playing/have got going via MIDI is changed immediately. I found other samplers tend to have you drag and drop, load in one at a time, double click etc; all of which breaks the workflow imo. It goes back to the synth preset selection analogue, which is about high-speed audition/inspiration. Then there's the fact that you can change the background to whatever inspires you whilst you're using it, which is real fun. hope that helps

    • @efferingo
      @efferingo 3 месяца назад

      thanks for your answer! I think when I read "It allows you to access and trigger your samples quickly and easily." I just skipped it in my brain because it sounded like marketing lingo. What you wrote about dragging and dropping makes sense (this was an aha moment in understanding for me, maybe you could highlight it in your description / video ). Although I already have XO for this specific UX issue, I would consider buying this in the future if you would add a filter/delay/reverb as an effect to it.

    • @sssss3750
      @sssss3750 3 месяца назад

      Yes, the Ableton browser is a very slow mess. An alternative sounds great. I also have XO, but that one is for drums. This one does indeed spark my interest.

Genuinely interested to see what other products you bring to the table.

      For some context, I recently purchased a sampler called Rando - which genuinely brings something new to the table for me, relative to the sampler in Ableton. While I very much appreciate the philosophy of doing a few simple things well, I feel OSS is missing the mark.
