Not going subscription anytime soon

I just bought a xp30 near mint condition for 90 bucks ,it even has the two expansion cards installed .I'm still playing around with it and must say it's the best deal I ever got on a keyboard .I have several boards and controllers and synths but I'm really loving this xp30

...I've played with that bag of salad ...a real shredder! - thanks for the direct comparison - really highlighted the pros and cons of each ...and yeah, both seem good to potentially get ideas down quickly and sounding pretty good right out of the box. Thanks for your good work on this.

Price wise and features scaler 2 is the big winner!

Thanks for the information! I just added a rack of vintage modules from way back when! They used to work fine in Digital Performer when they had the FreeMIDI system and the associated system for managing patch names. I have 11 vintage synth modules in that rack, I doubt that I'll set them all up, but I will probably create proper environments for most of them! The MAIN reason I don't use them when I'm writing and recording is that I never bothered to do that until now! Some of them have patches that show up, but they are mostly wrong. This should keep me busy for a while, just doing super nerdy stuff!

Very cool, but some parts in the audio file are shifting a bit. So select the region, goto the left region panel and quantize to 1/16, shifting gone!

Excellent video. Thank you for the work!

so cool that you can use the encoder to scroll the playhead. I have the novation launch key mini. It does not have an infinite encoder 😢 I wonder if you can assign a button (or push the encoder) to split region at play head. With the encoder scrolling and a push button split region control, it makes a great sampling tool

Very helpful, thank you. I'll stick to Alchemy and Logic's other synths.

I’ve rarely used the expansions that came in Komplete 14, but this really helps 😁

Automap in Novation SL with Logic used to be a pain , eventually working fine. Then they dropped it in Logic so I just use my manual settings now.Keeping it simple.

I appreciate the videos man.

Very comprehensive insight into some NI gems. All your videos are great, but this one is above and beyond. Thank You!

I enjoy your content!

Thanks for doing this. I’ll work on it.

Super 👍

I would also like to use apollo for live performances! Are there any other mixers besides the Apollo that you use for live gigs? Do you use the UA SD-1 for live performances? I love the md441 and wonder if I can use the SD-1 to get the sound of the md441 live with a mic simulator!

Or you can use one good vocalist, and then use Audimee to generate all the background vocals.

Very useful. Thanks for your time and expertise. I thought Enviromnent was deprecated, but happy it's just hidden 🙂

Hey Jeffy, I don't know if you still have Apollo but have you noticed a noise sound when you try tu EQ hight frecuencies? specially when you are using the Unison? do you know out it? I 'm having that situation rihgt now.

You make good video Jeffy. Keep it up.

Thank you for your research and technical discussion. This video is gold. 🎉🎉🎉

I gotta buy Atoms and try it out. Is it on sale?

Best Riffler video!

Hi jeff. Great work. Thanks

I upgraded to version 6 in the march now it asking to pay again to upgrade 6.5, do you have any idea?

Best Drambo video I've seen thus far - you did a great job separating the forest from the trees. Most tutorials miss the mark on the song-building aspect of the app and focus more on sound creation, and I wanted to know exactly how one uses this product to make music. You explained it perfectly.

I think it is a step towards the future of production, mostly because of time. With the fast pace life of 2024 its takes alot of money and time to create. Having software such as this helps keep the creative flow moving faster and easier for younger minds to stay tuned into. Although the process of doing things is inspiring and epic. Not everyone has the knowledge or time to do so unfortunately.

I thoroughly appreciate how you explain things. Thank YOU!

I feel u but 12•5=60 Annual bucks Not to bad

I took the plunge, no shock. 😎

Fl studio was 1st to do this with mobile, no any many sounds but I had sounds

Would you mind sharing the Excel spreadsheet you created? Freebe or paid, let me know. Thanks. I use Cu asis 3 on an Ipad and I could use the spreadsheet as a quick reference. Cubasis does not have any features like Logic. Thanks for the video, I dont have a Sonic Cell yet, just purchased one from Japan after watching your video.

Hello Jeff, I have been offered this for just £50.00 which I think is great value ...Can I ask how can I set this up with or without using a pc ( not an appl pc ) ? I normally play a tyros 3 and a casio ctx 5000.. I would like to have a 76 key bed for occasional use.. Can you offer me any suggestions ??

I wonder if the Komplete keyboard has the same integration for standard Logic instruments in terms of the command-B parameters. I guess the third party insts won't auto-map at all.

You're covering stuff I have been having a hard time finding. Thank you. To follow up, when using third party plugins, you switched over to custom. Did you have to map the rotary knobs before making this video? Or does switching to custom automatically map so that the instrument parameters just work? Thanks again, this is good in depth info. Peace!

Great video! I've been doing something similar live with my X4, but it's just me and my electric guitar, so no full band. (Admittedly this is probably overkill but I love using the different UAD guitar amp plugins to change up my sound, and I don't have to lug heavy amps to gigs) I use the HI-Z's on the front as inputs for my guitar, one clean channel and the other a little dirty, and use an A/B footswitch to switch between them. My mic into preamp 3. Then I send those 3 channels to AUX1 & 2, (pre-fader importantly!) and leave the guitar & mic channels muted, but I can tweak each AUX send for each of those channels. I then use AUX1 as a mix bus for the dry signal, and AUX2 is a parallel reverb bus. The AUX1 & 2 sliders can blend the dry & reverb signals. And for my purposes live, I mono both the AUX1 & 2 to avoid phase issues. I then send the monitor outputs to the FOH or my PA system and can then simply use the monitor knob & mute to control the overall volume. Works like a champ for me. My only thing is that I wish so much that the Console's 'Monitor Out' had a couple of inserts for a limiter or eq or other things, but now I'm just being picky! 😁

Cool plugin. Thanks for the overview. 😊

Wonderful 🎉

Lost me when you mentioned Logic

those snares and hi hat samples sound great. cAN we get a link to download them?

I have one….no regrets….

I bought the RD-700 in 2001 and I am still using it until today! Super great product! I learned piano with the RD-700! Super quality keybed! Don't sell it keep it and use it as a main keyboard controller. If you play piano .... don't look any further! Even today the RD-700 Series models remain a regular fixture on global stages, chosen by countless players for their intuitive live operation, expressive sounds and highly playable keyboards.

how do i get the brainworks stuff guitar rig 7 pro etc? do i need to make accounts and do i get activation codes for each individual?

Great review of all the virtual synths available 👍

Excellent vid. Thanks.

Hey great video and walkthrough! I have been holding off because I wanted to see how well the hemisphere plug-in was implemented in console. Do you know if it’s unison supported? Because I always thought you’d want your mic emulation first before you hit eq and compression to make it actually emulate accurately. I noticed your plug in was last in your console chain, do you think it makes any noticeable difference? Thanks!

IKEA have done it again, an inctredible sopha,... All synth geeks out there go and tell them to do a PC version!!!!!!!!

Ha ha ha! I started out my music recording journey on that exact model 4-track! I’ve decided to put my skills to the test and go back to recording on a cassette 4-track again 😅
