Saturday night fun | Elektron Model:Cycles

Casually sequenced some stuff in the morning and decided to record it at night. Found out the [track]+knob function I begin using around 1:08 is so killer for live performances as it controls all parameters tied to that knob across all tracks. To my knowledge, it's apparently a feature most Elektron boxes have.

A sound treated room with bass traps and monitors would be ideal for music production, but at minimum decent headphones that can reproduce sound sources with clarity are necessary. These are the headphones I use that help me create these types of recordings and other recordings on my channel:
Headphones:
AKG K240 MKII: amzn.to/48Di6Qq
Audio-Technica ATH-M50xBT2: amzn.to/3UFLuzy
Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro X: amzn.to/3NXLk2Y
AKG K240 mk2 55 ohms - these are okay; I think music producers may be mixed on this, but at the very least they're extremely comfortable for long durations of usage as an open-back and the most economical option of the three I own.
Audio-Technica ATH-M50xBT2 - I only bought these when they went on sale late 2022 and then all of a sudden I saw plenty of musicians across so many different settings in RUclips videos using these lol. They are fantastic for many purposes. Sounds can feel like they originate from in your head though.
Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro X 48 ohms - I had heard Beyerdynamic was a legendary brand and that the original DT 770s were often loved by producers... now I know why! Very sweet sounding compared to the ATH-M50x. Even as a closed-back, it creates a very spacious and natural listening environment.
