The Studio Log - What Did You Do In The Studio

[vurt]

you can get more cards and even have two kittys for example, and i believe, some of the modules he does use them too.

Exactly. The set included with Elmyra 2 is the aptly named "Pets" set (Kitty, Doggy, Birdy, Bunny) and there is also the separately available "Nuts" set (Acorn, Cashew, Pecan, Almond), which was introduced with the Scrat VCF module. Then there's also the Nijel distortion which takes the same cards. All cards work with any of the modules/synths.

You could also make your own cards on small pieces of stripboard, I know of quite a few users who have done that.

@vurt Love your Elmyra sessions, btw. Great stuff.

thanks.
its a great little noise maker. still a lot to explore with all the modes.
i noticed the other cards, when checking the other modules, thats cool that both nuts and pets can be used in either modules or elmyra!
will be investing in the modules in the near future

more elmyra, with mimeophon and cosmos, because theres no such thing as "too much delay"
at some points, it sounded like an ebowed guitar

Mise en place... a bit of cleaning, rerouting and labeling of stuff in preparation for Hypnosis' estimated arrival tomorrow.

I've been getting lost in my Pro-3 a lot lately. I've wasted many hours over the past three nights just diving in deep and exploring the depths of this magnificent beast of a synth.

Playing round with vcv rack and found out that Mindmeld’s mixer which I use all the time has got an option to swap out mute buttons for fade buttons to make signals fade in and out with fade type and duration settable at individual track level. Its such a handy thing I’m now wondering why more mixers don’t offer a similar feature.

[PatchAdamz]

Got most of the tunes mixed for the new CD but now the challenge is.....

What tunes to keep......... Hard to decide...

[foosnark]

My father in law was visiting so I wound up spending a lot of time in the studio

I wound up recording a track Friday night, another one Saturday morning. I also did the album art and am 8/10 done with mastering already, despite some breaks to play with the new Hypnosis.

[WatchTheGuitar]

As happens a lot I got a lot of my modular out on my desk, played with it for 5 minutes then got put my mic stand and acoustic and just sang songs for an hour or two. Recorded part of an original song “Mercenary”, but that may just end up as an unused fragment.

[PatchAdamz]

I have narrowed down the tunes for the CD to 18 (maybe 20).

Opinions, is 18+ song too many?

BTW, here is a short preview of the new CD:

“London Calling” has 19 tracks so it’s fine.

I mucked around creating a patch on my Deepmind 12 for the first time in yonks, pretty fun making a fizzy keys sound with hints of bloopiness at the edges.

depends, 18 of my tracks, probably too much for a cd.
s.o.d. had loads, but they were seconds long.

what matters most, the flow.
that's why triple gatefold vinyl exists.

[PatchAdamz]

Thanks for all the helpful opinions.

Looks like the maximum CD capacity of 74 min is going to be "the decider" here as I was going to use 21 tunes but I doubt they will all fit.

Seems crazy to use so many tunes, but as Vurt mentioned, its about the flow, and these tunes seem to flow best together.

Its been a creative 5 months........

[foosnark]

Threw together an industrial beat without any polish in about a half hour just to see if I could (it's been a long time since I really worked with beats).

Screw the maximum CD length, with digital downloads there is no limit (maniacal laughter fills the air).

This release has 22 songs Mother Trucker.

[WatchTheGuitar]

Well done, otherwise you may as well base your decisions around the limitations of the wax cylinder.
