RE: Utopian: Ned Has Just Delegated 1 MILLION to Utopian - We Have 2M Steem Power NOW!

No way, you're KiΩhm on Soundcloud! I listened to your tracks before! I was wondering, do you use Elektron gear like the Rytm, A4 or Octatrack or is it DAW-only?

Sort:  

Hey there @scipio , thats right I am indeed the artist KiΩhm !
It was very unexpected for me to be recognized for that in this thread ^_^
At the moment my production is mostly based on DAW-only as well as a Zoom H4n recorder for recording my own samples. I also have borrowed a few different synths from fellow producers in Oslo, but I must admit I work a lot faster in a digital workflow.

Very cool, I looked at your reply ^^^ above, checked out your page, saw your SOundcloud profile, and I recognized you from your tracks! :-)
I'm into DAW producing myself too, almost the same genre (yet just a beginner at it, no uploaded Soundcloud tracks yet!). But I am keen on using the new MKii line of Elektron (AR mkii, A4 mkii, Digitakt (or a new sampler to be added on the new "desktop form factor) and use those together with OverBridge as a hardsynth / soft synth blend.

Which got me thinking... what if... there was a Steem powered SoundCloud killer-app :P Wooooowwww! The music industry might actually like that as well!

like @prc 's dsound project you mean?
check this out ;-)

WOAHHHHH! I'm just a steemian for 12 days, I did not know this! Utterly cool!

It's still a bit buggy, but the potential is huge!
I'm hoping @prc will open source the project trough Utopian so the Steem community can help get the platform where it needs to go.

I just suggestd it on Discord to @elear ! This project needs backing...Imagine how many new Steem users those platforms will attract. And what that will do to the Steem market cap. It's in everybody's current interest to sponsor projects like these.

I totally agree, thanks for reaching out to @elear about it!
I know for a fact they both attended Steemfest as I watched both of them explain their projects on the Steemfest's liveststream. Hopefully they got to connect a bit over there and already started the conversation about open sourcing!

It seems like a good direction blending hard & soft synth like that!

The best tip I can give to people just starting out producing this genre is to learn to know 1 synth properly, in the long run the understanding gained from learning every function of one single synth is gonna be extremely rewarding. Way to many people start out with downloading 100 different soft synths and VST's, stay away from it.

I recommend Syntorial as a good starting place to learn Synthesis if you are new to some of the functions in synth's. It really helped me out a lot back in the beginning.

"Syntorial is video game-like training software, that will teach you how to program synth patches by ear."

I will definitely check that out! PS: I like the Elektron gear especially because they're so "hands-on". Via OverBridge (well, what it could become anyway!) you get very good visual and auditive feedback, also nice to learn with (it's fast!).
