For live, I'll use a dynamic mic like a Shure Beta 58 or a Super 55 (which has a Beta 58 like capsule). For studio vocals, I usually grab a large diaphragm condenser mic, a Shure KSM32 being my basic go-to, or other condenser mics for different voices. Sometimes I break out the Shure SM7B for certai...

Haven’t heard the Behringers, but I recently added a pair of JBL 305p mkIIs to my setup, and I like them a lot. My older 7in studio monitors are fine, but you know ... technology progresses and with the JBLs, I find it so much easier to just mix based on what I’m hearing and not having to constantly...

I have it down to where my cash outlay is MUCH less than it used to be. I'm more patient about waiting for sales on REs that I want. I planned ahead for Black Friday and picked up a couple of Lectric Panda REs and Noise Engineering's Synth Bundle 2. But I also have MANY REs that never make it into p...

The combination of these devices and Lectric Panda's RND and PSQ ... generative heaven.

In Kompulsion, if you set the Length (duration) of a note to 100%, it will automatically slide into the next note.

It is so simple and effective but not that obvious. Did you know that you could apply some ongoing variations to the volume of your drums or any other instruments by modulating the velocity by the shift register value? Here´s the routing: Instead of using the shift register pulse use its value as a...

Why did you have to tell me the discount code works with the BF sale? Now I HAVE to buy these! Yup. Felt the same way! :P I was considering to participate in the new challenge... But I have no clue which are the old ones now and which were in the second bundle... I mean in a way it gives me a very ...

I've had this EQ for some time, and ever since I picked it up, it makes it into every single mix. It's always in my master insert chain and often sprinkled around elsewhere in the rack as well, especially as an insert in a drums combinator. I haven't explored everything it can do (which is a LOT), b...

I'm not trolling, it's a real question. Can music produced on a laptop, really stand up next to true analogue audio run through a dedicated mixer? I'm putting this down to the way that Reason processes audio, it feels like the engine is limited in throughput. I use Beats by Dre headphones for most ...

That would be a really good add for switching PSQ scenes using the same instruments. In the meantime, I did find a workaround that sort of emulates this on a limited basis. I run multiple sequencer outputs (S1 - S8) from PSQ into one or more instances of Robotic Bean's free CV channel switcher, dep...

With just a Subtractor and a Matrix, you can start to approximate a pretty authentic 303/Acid sound. Also, there are plenty of tune-able 808/909 sounds to be found included with Redrum and Kong.

For more authentic analog mojo, I'm personally a fan of Synapse' "The Legend".

Thanks everyone for some great examples and discussion. This has been very helpful in helping me come to grips with PSQ. This RE is insanely powerful and I'm really enjoying the creative aspects of it.

And thanks to Lectric Panda for some amazing REs. Consider me a fan of your work.

I was seriously done buying REs for a while, but the Synth Bundle 1 went on sale ... now Synth Bundle 2 is coming and just in time for me to finally be coming to grips with PSQ ... GAH!

The rabbit hole is now open ... again.

Plugging RND into the PSQ is also a random wormhole!!

I'm experiencing this first hand. PSQ is becoming a wormhole for me all on its own.

I'm working on some new trance tracks in Reason, and for sound generation, I keep going to The Legend and the Noise Engineering REs for their character. Then there's the beast called eXpanse that keeps making its way into my rack. :D But what's really making this stuff come alive and flow musically ...

Awful news.

For my wallet.

I said the same thing when I saw this news on another thread.

Darn you, Noise Engineering!

Haha yooo everyone just chill. Nobody's holding a gun to anyone's head to buy it. Not your thing? Just pass. There are SIX Noise Engineering devices coming next week. Step Recorder just got a nice new update. Lots of things to sink your teeth into this month. NOOOOOO! Not six new Noise Engineering ...

Just bought the bundle and I'm loving these REs. So much gooey character that's easily accessible. For some of my first experiments I'm using the Propellerhead Drum Sequencer to drive several instances of Basimilus Iteritas, and 'Lectric Panda's RND RE into a Scales and Chords to drive randomized d...

So here's my live performance rig with 2 Circuits, the Arturia and an iPad running djay Pro.

The iPad with djay Pro is there to give me a breather once in a while from all the pad/button pressing, knob twiddling and keyboard playing, since my set next week is 2hrs.

The Arturia Keystep arrived today. ... So far, the Arturia is exactly the Circuit companion I had hoped for. Hey, cognitive, just curious how this pairing has been holding up. I'm picking up another synth with no keys and may want to grab a controller with sequencing features. I don't know of any a...
