Live Studio Recording: Dynamic Interplay - Stickney

I don't normally do this sort of thing, but I figured with all the other musicians posting studio shots of their work so can I. I also thought it might be interesting for some people to see how I record my tracks.

Djing with turntables is going to be a thing of the past. with people like u & ableton live around, some of the mind blowing tracks of the future will be composed at gigs not in the studio. cheers m8 & keep it up

Well people have been doing electronic music and livePA like this from the beginning and it wasn't really until the mid 90's that people began to sit in front of their computers to compose. What was once the dominant method to make electronic music is now the minority.

Wait... how are you writing and sequencing these melodies without a keyboard?

[sup909]

Each of the modules on the sequencer section as a keyboard imprinted on it for sequencing. You can see the MPC type pads on the XL-7 (Yellow module)

Oh, I forgot to say, it looks like so much more fun too (just like DJing).

You kinda get a vibe and a buZz when it's 'hands on' in real time like that with hardware, rather than sequencing it in some software at a desk with a cup of coffee.

The knob twiddling is certainly one of the best aspects of it. Working with any sort of samples though is better in software though I think. There is an immediacy to sound creation with the hardware though that you can't get with software.

very cool.

[Sortevik]

Man, that is so cool. Thank you so much for sharing this with the rest of the world.

You could say that, but that is just how I think I personally make music as I did that in software too. It is more difficult, but certainly possible to do the drawn out builds and transitions that you hear in modern dance music with hardware.

[xecutey]

This is great, it really opens my mind to the purist hardware side of things, with no software for production, which I am so alien to.

It's weird as it seems with the hardware side of things building the lego blocks of a tune is so much more defined making it a lot "sharper" in transitions.

For some reason it reminds me of my DJing days, but I guess thats just because of the bopping around and twiddling knobs and sliders kinda side of things.

Loving the track too, good work m8. 5* A+
