Lmao

No shit

@@nicememe3793 lmao find happiness bud 😂

Are gen-Xers "lost"? What do you mean?

Really well said man

@@Thoracius Yeah. Lost Boys, Land of the Lost, A Land Before Time, wait. what am I talking about

My first thought too!

god i love this band so much

From the opening note of this video that’s the exact thing i thought, lmfao. nice catch.

That font too

I think the logo has something to do with that too

Absolutely - BOC in a Box™

Absolutely! I thought of this immediately when I heard it and so happy to read this comment. This has such a wonderful sound and can’t help but think of BOC. Fantastic. Reminds me of being a teenager.

I love this comment and agree. You should also check out the Wires plugin from Heibbach along with the Mellofi plugin from Arturia

@@thebkstank2095 Oh I follow Heibbach as well. Good call!

Yes! Everything you do is a balloon 🎈

Yup. My favorite thing was to slow down any recording with the flick of a switch on the turntable. It was like a New World opened up. Can we all appreciate how The Caretaker virtually started this movement? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/grJpbJuSz9TOfmg.html

Whatever you now find weird, ugly, uncomfortable and nasty about a new medium will surely become its signature. CD distortion, the jitteriness of digital video, the crap sound of 8-bit - all of these will be cherished and emulated as soon as they can be avoided. It’s the sound of failure: so much modern art is the sound of things going out of control, of a medium pushing to its limits and breaking apart. The distorted guitar sound is the sound of something too loud for the medium supposed to carry it. The blues singer with the cracked voice is the sound of an emotional cry too powerful for the throat that releases it. The excitement of grainy film, of bleached-out black and white, is the excitement of witnessing events too momentous for the medium assigned to record them. - Brian Eno

@@maxspencerkarinen6463 such a great quote

I can tell you hatred for cd*s was faster than your first sip of Yuban... And the echoplex space echo stuff ruled from the first dripping spring;. See if you can find Are We Still Rolling by Phil Brown, sound engineer memoirs of the guy who did Talk Talk, Marley, Zep, Roxy Music and on and on... It's not hypocrisy to doubt that On again Off again isn't hypocrisy.

Solid state amps never replaced tube amps in any meaningful capacity, pretty much every band you can think of continued using tube amps long after the introduction of SS amps. It's not like synths where analog pretty much disappeared after digital synths took over.

im morbidly interested in how that came to be. :P

Perfection is boring

quite the turn isn't it?!

It's definitely synthwave/retrowave in a pedal yeah, and I am here for it.

That's so cool! I just got my hands on my first Tascam a few weeks ago. :)

Congratulations on the birthday Tascam! That should be fun.

Heh -- I having actually grown up in the 80s, and having gotten started on a Tascam 4-track mixing down to cassettes -- I was thrilled when I got my first DAT machine to mix down to and was eventually able to record into Sound Tools (this was before Pro Tools). The noise, the warble, lost of high freuqency, the frustration knowing the tapes I made for my friends didn't sound as good as the originals, all of that drove me bonkers. That said, there was something to the discipline of recording to tape, and trying to work around its sonic limitations, that was very educational. I don't miss my Tascam 4-track, but I hope you enjoy yours! (Although I did pick oine up to back up my old 4-track tapes to a DAW)

i got a tascam on my birthday too, but mine was digital, its cool other people are also getting tascams for gifts lol

@@pigslam oh neat! Also I love your pfp, Ween’s like my second favorite band

It is a lot of fun. I love that you capitalize The Algorithm the way I do.

​@@DavidHilowitzMusic In school they teach you to capitalize a person, place, or thing. It's up to you what The Algorithm is.

I thought I was the only one sending the pedal back because of this...!

@@PabloOrtegaMusic unfortunately, no, you're not alone. The premise and the way many use it is really good. It just doesn't work for me.

@Collen Flarity nope. It's not supposed to be a latency/delay pedal

You could still use it for sampling and sound design so it would still work. I would still say they should offer a discounted price for the limitation..

@@mikedegrazia absolutely one could...I'm very sad it didn't work for me. I do use Aberrant's Sketchcassette to add this type of effect, post recording or programming. That way I can record my faster guitar phrases without any latency and treat them accordingly.

Exactly what I thought

Whoa, was scrolling to see if someone would mention Fez. still an awesome surprise.

Fun fact, most of the Fez OST was done on NI Massive. Lots of the Dimension Expander reverb, a good bit of nice white noise blended in, and a really masterful use of the 'TrR' (Trigger Random) modifier macro applied to parameters like pitch and filter cutoff. You can find it on YT if you search up Disasterpeace Music Workshop FEZ. It's a lovely video that reveals a lot about the sound design approach for FEZ. He put out another workshop on Organic Synthesis this past year 2022, and he's still heavily using NI Massive. Just thought it'd be worth sharing because a lot of people think Massive is overly cold and digital, but it just proves that any synth in the hands of the right sound designer can be brought to life and sound analog.

@@LETTMusic I’ve watched that music workshop so many times over the years lol. I didn’t know he had a new one out, I’m gonna check it out

@@KidGhost23 Haha, I didn't know either, but watching it currently, and it still blows my mind the things he thinks to use to modulate parameters. I mostly use Serum these days, but so many good ideas to pull from how he approaches sound design with utilizing randomness and cross modulation (modulation being modulated by something else, like an LFO rate itself is being modulated by something, that then modulates something else.) I love that he still reps OG Massive all these years later. Everyone thinks of it as the heavy dubstep bass synth, yet he's making beautiful expressive chiptuney sounds out of it.

Glad you enjoyed it!

I wanted to post the exact same comment, good thing I scrolled down far enough :D I love BoC and I never understood why their music gave me that nostalgic late 80's feeling specifically, but now I do!

Forgot to mention it also resembles the music from Hypnospace Outlaw.

I see we have a man of culture! Grandiose OST from disasterpiece, 8bits, crust, weirdcore... Love it so much, reminded of it also ;)

I think it's in the process of blowing up! :)
