thank you much! I've been thinking about doing another one of these. thanks for the nudge.

much love to you, Herbert. thanks for the comment! I'm a big fan of minimalism and using analogue machines. love the "natural" sound of them. I appreciate the love! feel free to check out the new record, made with this same setup: tapeloop.bandcamp.com/album/empath-variations

yeah, markus, thank you for replying. i did check your performance with quentin baxter which was interesting and intent. " wee are all architects of negativity....". ( i did some spoken word sound performances back in the late 90ies) watching your videoportfolio give me some inspirational hints for my own work which is photography, illustration and electronic music as well. as i am always looking for all kind of inspirational sources i will keep an eye on your work and will also check the new empath record as it will be released. till then, i do enjoy the sonic journey in your backyard.

hey Herbert, why exactly do you think the DFAM & Digitakt work in opposing ways? I am interested in ideas like this :)

ha! indeed

right? that’s my friend kristy crum. great videographer

mrbgnle thanks for the love!

Graviton 9 that’s one of my favorite albums of ALL TIME. love it

White Noise it can def be tricky, but the Spire has all kinds of options. And the Digitakt is unbelievable. i added some minor effects after capturing the audio, as well ...

Jon Tejada thank you! glasses are from www.zennioptical.com

Future Robots the DFAM is bare bones - it has one audio out, that i hooked up to the mixer. you can sync it to another MOOG (like the Mother 32), through the patch cables

thanks for re-watching! I used a lot of effects on the digitakt. also cleaned it up (a little) in adobe audition ...

@@marcusamaker thanks for sharing Markus, you did it great!

jozeph gee most definitely. it really streamlines the recording process if you are working with music hardware. i can’t go back doing it any other way now.

ah, I wish there was a way! it's very low. I haven't updated the firmware, though, so hopefully they fixed it

KONTAINER right? there’s so many mixers. i used a small behringer for this ... i have three of them, for various setups. never had a problem with them

Marcus Amaker They seem like a solid brand. And not over-the-top-expensive. I’ll take a closer look... Thanks for answering!

Christo Roppolo my man! thank you so much for the comment and love. i’m a sucker for this kind of sound ... thanks for watching!

Marcus Amaker sound is what good sound design is and the appreciation of it and the love of weaving it together in a fashion that makes us stop and suspend our disbelief. Yes? Go get em young man ! You have my blessings! Watch my movie on Netflix Called...”Curse of the man who sees Ufos “ Peace Christo 👽👽✌🏻✌🏻🛸🛸👏🏻👏🏻🎶🎶🙏🙏🔦🔦🕺🕺🐕🐕👍🏻👍🏻🤖🤖☠️☠️❤️❤️

Matt Kaz yeah, it’s limited on some levels, but ... i really dig the way it sounds. i gravitate toward analogue instruments, for some reason. the longer i have it, though, the more i like it!

I played it all live, so there wasn't any automatic syncing. I just ... felt my way through it all. =)

Andrew Brooks haha. “kraftwerk on steroids.” i think i’ll make that the title of my next album. (and yes, GET A DFAM! it’s sick).

Dsmn...I was going to use it as the title of my next album (if I ever get around to making it) but I guess you can have it! I'll just have to settle for "The Yapple of my Ee" (don't ask...)

that's the digitakt!

yes i do! cool little machine

I appreciate the love! feel free to check out the new record, made with this same setup: tapeloop.bandcamp.com/album/empath-variations

I feel the same way.

true, true
