What's the one piece of gear you'd add to your dream DAWless setup? Let me know and I'll try my best to help you integrate it!
That's a no-bullshit setup that makes a lot of sense.
Very cool peice of video that you produced. I really appreciate how intentional you were with the pacing and cadence in your speech.
Thanks again for sharing with me your corner of creativity and expression. These are special spaces for those of us who create.
Thanks! I've really put in quite a bit of effort into these videos... it's a process that's always improving, and it's cool when someone notices 🙃
I must have notebooks to write lyrics down, jot notes down on what things I’ve done to tracks, etc etc. Pen and paper will never stop being perfectly modern and futuristic. It’s too practical.
I also use notebooks as an index to my idea recordings. Notebook pages have a "shape" to the writing that makes it quick to flick through to find something (plus I date the pages). Even when renamed, disk files don't have that and it soon becomes a meaningless blob. Files lose the context that a notebook gives.
@@oldunclemick I never throw them away. I’ll be stuck for lyrics or something, and I’ll stick my hand in the pile, and it’ll be one from 1993 or something, and I’ll find something I’d forgot about ages ago, and there it is. A “new” song idea, lol.
@@oldunclemick And I grok just exactly what you mean re “files”. Computers die within 2 or 3 years, no matter how much “virus protection” I have, and I’ve looked for a song I was involved in ten years ago, and I’ll realize that the only way I still “have” it is because it’s on my YT channel, and it’s the only “copy” I’ll have of it.
@@gwugluud I am paranoid with my backups. A file doesn't truly exist unless it's in at least three places with one preferably off-site! 😀
Sold on the 1st sentence: Making music on a computer screen sucks! 😂 subbed
A lot of people scoff at the term DAWLESS.... but I wouldn't have it any other way! Always glad to see there's more of us friend 😄
I use Digitone and Syntakt on a Yamaha mg06 mixer. Roland SE02 & SH01 are connected to Digitone‘s inputs for mixing and FX. A Minifreak is connected to Syntakt‘s inputs.
I can attenuate the inputs differently for each pattern and store the settings. My Midi Router is Blokas MidiHub with four In‘s and Out‘s. Both Elektrons can play each other and be played by the MiniFreak.
I‘m recording on Deluge and transfer via SD-card into a MacBook.
Thanks for sharing! That's a very capable setup indeed
LOVE THE MODEL 12 SET UP!
Thanks for sharing your setup!
My productivity and enjoyment have skyrocketed since i ditched the daw and got a tascam model 12. I should have done it years ago.. i cannot emphasise enough how good the analogue preamps sound ! Im sticking with hardware 👍
Absolutely! I do think it's this new wave of mixer/recorders (Model 12, Livetrak and Bluebox) that were the missing piece that made ditching the DAW an easy decision for me.
Great video, thank you
Such an unusual set-up, interesting and refreshing.
And I love "I won't have empty
mixer input staring me in the face and
catalyzing that nasty gear acquisition
fire that burns deep inside me"
which I will be using as a mantra for my daily meditations ;)
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it! That quote is straight out of real life haha 😁
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it! Hope you like my other videos too 🙃
Definitely would like to know about your guitar's body shape. I just fiddle with a guitar. Recently switched from a single cut squire baritone to a schecter c-6 elite. Kind of miss the way the plain old tele body behaved.
I still have my Korg D1600 multitracker but I prefer my MPC One as the centrepiece because it gives me a non-linear recording environment. Mostly these days I go direct to stereo and just master on the PC because I do a lot of my "mixing" before I hit Record.
Nice! The new MPCs are quite powerful, you can almost make the case they are DAWs :)
@@nedogled yes, they pretty well are. The benefit for me over a computer DAW is that editing is enough hassle that I only fix problems I actually hear whereas in a DAW I find myself fixing "problems" I think I am seeing and that usually takes the life out of the music as badly as quantization.
@@oldunclemick Absolutely agree on that! Music production seems to have swung from aural to visual in the past few decades in general...
Certainly the best way to l got a very bad back with using computer recording DAWs all my stuff is placed within easy reach. I stand up for keyboard playing but not more than an hour, playing guitar sat up on my bed is best for me, guitar pedals loopers and mixers monitors drum machine iPads and multi track recorders all at arms length on shelves next to me, being comfortable is important when creating music. Good luck with your music ❤❤
Thanks Paul! Absolutely, ergonomics are key for me too. If it hurts, I won't stand for it :) Especially when it comes to guitar. It's one of the reasons why I went headless for the guitar, and that will be my next video. Thanks for watching and good luck!
The only thing that keeps me using a DAW (Reaper, the only DAW with a sensible setup) are the great plugins you can use, and the capabilities they have. But aesthetically, I very much prefer good multitracks, such as the Boss BR-1600 I have. I began with a Teac 4-track cassette in 1981, and having a way to lay multiple tracks seemed really wild then. It caused a lot of good times.
That's true, there are a lot of great plugins in DAWs, but the temptation to buy new ones was always breathing down my neck when I was a full time DAW user :) I haven't heard of the Boss BR-1600 before, thanks for bringing that to my attention! I'll actually be publishing the video about my mixer/recorder tomorrow, so stay tuned for that one. It's a continuation of what the mighty Teac started all those decades ago!
I had a BR 1600 for a little while and had to sell it. Can you use it as a DAW controller at all? I know it's getting on a bit but I really like it. Otherwise I'll have to go for the Tascam model he uses in this video (I started off on a Tascam tape 4 track. So much fun)... thanks.
@@titmusspaultpaul5 Whenever I try to get into the deeper features with a DAW, it gets convoluted and confusing, and if I think I’m in the mode to do what I want to attempt, then I engage it, either nothing happens at all, or very strange things happen which destroys my project. I think it likely that via some sort of MIDI setup, what you described could be done, but I really don’t know, I’m afraid. Sorry I couldn’t help you. If you googled about, there’s every kind of instructional things out there, just a more obscure thing such as that may take some effort in order to happen upon. Maybe state it directly “Will a Boss BR-1600 work as a controller within a DAW”, and there will be something.
I bought a Tascam 32sd. Not sure if that is considered DAWless, but no computer screen.
Definitely. I think it's the infinite possibilities of the DAW that mark the key difference from recording to a mixer, which is much more straightforward in comparison, but also limited (which can sometimes be a good thing). That, and the mouse and keyboard interface which I never got along with for composing on a DAW.
1. Decide you want to spend less time in front of a screen
2. Watch hours and hours od videos about DAWless setups and gear reviews
3. Narrow down to a few polysynths and research the crap out of the
4. impulse buy a totally different poly without any research at all
5. go to 2
Haha, the G.A.S. Wormhole is real! I almost impulse bought a Novation Peak when I was thinking about polysynths, but I'm glad I held back and went for the Digitone Keys instead :)
I would add an Elektron Rytm and a Microcosm from Hologram 🫠
Excellent choice! Rytm seems to be the endgame for drum machines, it just takes up a bit more space than I can afford right now :D The Microcosm seems like an effect that crosses over into being an instrument... I'm debating between getting that or the Strymon Nightsky.
@@nedogled funny I was just debating over Nightsky and Meris merc x
