[RenHoek2409]

[genomenoid]

[siedgey]

@genomenoid Hahaha I completely agree! This was the first night I got it, just a wee equipment test. Please check my newer videos for some MUCH better stuff!

[douwefireworks]

whats the name of the song??

plz tell me!!

[oku23CH]

Genial , j'adorre, I love it, Thanks for this very good Sound.

Si tu veux m'apprendre a faire du son comme toi ce serrais top.

J'ai un RM1X, j'arrive faire des lignes de bass et percu mais jamais comme les tiennes.

Je vais bientot recevoir un MC 909 et un Access Virus A. pour poussé la musique plus loin.

[RobbPieper]

wow, thats nice! what is that pad effects thing?

[siedgey]

@RobbPieper Thanks a lot! The FX box is a Behringer DFX69 Tweakalizer...it's a fun bit of kit!

[timreese1983]

Hey man what is your entire equipment setup? can you email me it im looking to start mixing and sampling and looked at some of your vids like your setup timreese83@gmail.com

[Checkingokop]

Good suff, you seem like you could do this live at parties.

[brixyfella]

@Checkingokop ,500 euro man plus post,worth evry cent,not even dat pushed 2 sell it jus havnt d time for it nemore nd its a shame 2 c it lie idle

[siedgey]

@Checkingokop Coming soon to a party near you! :]

[AntifaGuerilla]

thanx 4 the advice sick music by the way i want to get the 909 thanks to the videos you been putting up there all crazy and thats coming from somone who really only listens to rap

[siedgey]

@AntifaGuerilla Haha thanks a lot man, glad you've been inspired! I hope you managed to get your hands on some kit so you can start posting your own beats.. :]

[AntifaGuerilla]

im gonna be getting my 1st mpc and im mainly looking to do hip hop beats and house music occasionally and i only have 2 choices and thats between the roland mc 909 or the akai mpc 500, what would everyone reccomend for somone like me starting out

[siedgey]

@AntifaGuerilla Hey man...hmmmm well it's a tough call but it really depends what you're after. The 909 has a sampler built in, plus a sequencer and a synthesizer as well, but the sampler is fairly limited compared to the MPC. The MPC doesn't have a synth in it so it depends what you're wanting to do! I would say go for the MPC personally, if you're into hip hop, and get a good sample CD for the house sounds. :]

[Kottesnaskaren]

How much would this set(/equipment) cost in second hand?

[SoylentHolger]

do want!

[cchhaarrllyy56]

tou smatos pour sa =s !

[AleXis634489]

That's fantastic (:

[DJjHill]

I love this groove! This has convinced me to toss aside the PC and MIDI controllers and go with a setup like this... really really good! Keep it up! I'm a fan...

[siedgey]

@DJjHill Haha thanks for the comment man - hope you get many years of pleasure out of twiddling real knobs as opposed to virtual ones. :)

[brixyfella]

groovebox for sale,mc 909,perfect condition,reply for more info,ireland

[Checkingokop]

@brixyfella how much for mc909

[Palhiboy]

kreativ..;)

[dbillmtl]

Nice vibe, good jam! Hope you still enjoy making music!

[aspidistral]

Hi, really nice jam. Nice kind of swing throughout.

I haven't sequenced in hardware for years - not since an all CV/Gate studio. I reckon I have pretty much forgotten how much fun it can be. Your jam is pretty inspiring.

Cheers

[siedgey]

Hi there, thanks a lot for the comment! Playing about with hardware is definitely a lot more fun for software - you can't beat a hands on live jam.. :)

[aspidistral]

Cool, man. Definitely enjoyed it. Having knobs on the kit you're tweaking sure avoids the MIDI bandwidth hassles, too.

I forgot to mention before, that I really like the hats from the 909; really crystal clear and clean, and sit really nicely in the top of the mix. I think these are a lot cleaner sounding than the analogue drum machines I've played with.

I'm replacing my bread and butter hardware with software, and trading up for more exotic hardware.

[bigbrotheriswathing]

electro?

[djpachis1]

Very nice your the best

[mountebank1]

such a nice sound at the beginning

[mordsgaudimachen]

Cool grove! I would just add a breakdown and it would be amazing :)

[ReatKay]

GREAT!

[ILuvTechnoMusic]

[siedgey]

Haha thanks for the comment man, glad you liked it. Get saving.. ;)

[dedreammer]

[cibernardochav]

Good Work, nice job.

[leeor25]

Great Job!

[DJmaii]

ooouuuu yeeeeeeeee!!!))

[caosvalencia]

Man please send me the tune!!

[shadowbunny]

wonderful. the shaky keyboard stand worries me though HAHAHAH! if that were in my studio, I'd be biting my nails the whole time o_O

[NickAAylward]

it just builds and builds, well done...!

[caosvalencia]

come on man send me the mp3! :)

[siedgey]

Hey man, sorry about this! Not sure what has happened here as it says in my e-mail client it's sent?! I'll try and re-send it today, sorry about the delay. :)

[Dubastard]

Having fun I see. that tweakalizer looks handy. I'm thinking about buying my mates Virus A, is it still the "synth of your dreams"???

[siedgey]

Hi there man, sorry about the late reply to this message! It slipped through the net and I only just saw it...you have the chance to buy a Virus? BUY IT! Now. Go on. Do it. I can honestly say it's the best sounding synth I've ever had. Love it love it love it. Check some of my other vids for more videos of it in use, especially the more recent ones where I've worked it out a bit more! :)

[sirpryde]

can you do sidechain compression with the 909?

[siedgey]

Hey man, no the 909 doesn't allow sidechain compression.

[caosvalencia]

I know you were just messing around but... this sounds awesome! mind to make it an mp3 for us to download? :)

[siedgey]

Haha thanks a lot man! Glad you like it, it was just supposed to be to test my new setup but if you like it I'll send it to you, no probs! Just private message with your e-mail address man - gmail if possible as hotmail is fussy about attachments. :)

[iain2008]

Absolute belter of a tune

[JoEyInBoX]

Just awesome!

I really like this song if it is one. ^^

[siedgey]

Thanks a lot man, much appreciated! Check out my other vids if you have time - this was just an equipment test more than a proper tune! :)

[moonfax]

i like this

[encode84]

Cool! :)

[gepardek]

i like it very much~~!

[Gazzz87]

whats the jigga up top thats supplying your beats? i haven't played keyboard for years and years but getting back into it, and learning nightwishes piano solo's... i want to mix them and make them dance anthems ^_^ it looks expensive... lol.

[siedgey]

Hey man, that's a Roland MC-909. They used to be pretty steep but they've been discontinued now so you might get a good deal on Ebay! It's a beast of a synth/sampler...let me know if uyou stick some tracks online or something man!

[Gazzz87]

wow shitties, just checked the price... still need another dns3500.. then i'll see how far i'll persue the music scene but it's just a hobbie... that roland is some big dollaz!

[acaruso36]

Fantastic Set-up and Great Beat.... Almost got off my chair and started dancing!

[siedgey]

Haha thanks man, glad you liked it - if you can't be arsed standing up then chair dancing is always an option. :)

[Cubik89]

omg, 2:43 the best:D!!

[siedgey]

Haha cheers man! This wasn't even a track - it was just a test of my new Virus and took about 20 mins to make! Cheers for watching man. :)

[Gazzz87]

i watched that twice through.... really enjoyed it man, and just ordered my tweakalizer. well done bloke.. cya round.

[siedgey]

Hey man, thanks a lot for watching (twice!) - and congrats on buying the DFX...it's hard to believe it's so cheap - it's amazing fun! :)

[kadaj847]

SA DECHIRE!!

[siedgey]

Hi there mate, thanks a lot for your comment. Isn't it great having a Virus? What a bit of kit...I love it. It changes your style a lot too when you can spend hours crafting a sound or just making silly noises. The move from Cubase to all hardware is the best I've ever made I think, it's so much fun and you can just knock up a fun track in an hour and play it to eternity! If you're still interested I have made a wee vid of me making a full tune in 10 mins, check out if you can be arsed! :)

[GeminiAmbience]

Glad to hear about your positive experience. I'm in the same boat. I just picked up an MC-808, MC-505, and an Access Virus A to set up a hardware-based studio. I was using Cubase 4 and all soft-synths. Looking forward to the switch. :)

[luposcam]

hi...great video and nice job...I would like to know the title of yhe song..bye

[jevfree]

Could you give us a brief introduction in how you build up your tracks, how you hooked everything up, how you start, etc. Like a short how-to if you will.

Thanks in advance!

Your tracks are awesome.

[siedgey]

Hi there mate, I think what I'll do is upload a video of me making a track on the fly when I get the chance so you can see how I go about it and then start posting your efforts! Glad you like the vids. Take care..

[wendlinka]

cool staff!

[temok101]

buenas rolas kabron yeah

[vivipedraglio]

great!!! i luv it, thanks!

[robvbeats]

Hey man,nice work as always ;)

[JazzySaxE]

great studio mate!

allrighty then!!

[siedgey]

Hehe thanks mate, it's starting to take shape now!

[silvestreherrera]

great stuff! ... though i'm about to sell my 909 in favor of a laptop + BCR2000 and BCF2000 MIDI controllers. I really didn't get along with the 909's sequencer... I guess I got too used to Propellerhead's Reason :P

[siedgey]

Nice one man, I know what you mean - it is much easier to draw in sequences in Reason or whatever, but I love having everything hardware - looks so much better on stage (if I ever go on stage...)! I've fallen in love with my 909...and my beautiful Virus...mmm....
