I spent 1200 € on a sound system the other day. it has bluetooth connectivity and thats about it. No particularly good bass, and the top end sounds a bit like an empty can of baked beans. However, the Ford Mondeo attached to it was good value; and it does have a handy little equalizer for shaping the sound slightly. Great Deal everything considered. Pro tip: I was considering the Tx6. But as far as i can gather, it doesn't include a car, even though the price suggests it.

After spending like 5k€ on diy Eurorack stuff that was fun to solder (but I don't know how to f**in use it) 2 months ago I bought the cheapest E-Strat off Amazon, just to stay connected in music. Don't know how to play the git at all, but willing to learn. 120€ including everything, Amp was DOA, was actually replaced with the next level one at no extra cost. But it's perfectly acceptable, good machining, stays in tune, doesn't ring too much, happy days! :) My last diy was an open source Teensy based "Micro Dexed" featuring two DX7 emus, a MI Rings, another diy basic synth and what not for like less than 100€ in total. On the other hand: TE with some 1k€ crap... wtf...

I am SO GLAD this video happened. Teenage Engineering needs to take note of the comments. Much as I love my OB-4, the TX-6 alone made me almost lose respect for them completely. I don't understand how anyone thought this was a good idea. Even if the price is justified because it's a pain to produce, anyone business smart should have stopped them before they'd even put it out. They did get a scolding from certain few major industry players at Superbooth from what I heard though 😂 I'll be waiting for the TX-12, which should be at least 3-4 times as big, and definitely 50% cheaper to even compete with similar products IMO.

[@AudioPilz]

I went to pick up some gear from someone an hour north of me once, in a kind of out the way place, no bus, though I was driving. It was from some rich guy up on the the bluffs who I've bought from a few times. He always has the THE best gear that he's selling. I've never been inside to actually see his collection, but he has so much good stuff listed all the time that I search local listings every week or so for the place he lives to see if he has anything new. Anyway, as I arrived, there was another guy there who had taxied up to get his stuff. Low and behold it was THIS unit. The guy worked for IntelliJ. As I gave him a ride back home, he went on to explain how THIS was the most epic unit that could do exactly what he wanted where nothing else could, and he got it at the amazing price of $800 Canadian. I dropped him off back home and never saw him again.

I use it to make rip vinyl videos directly into a GoPro camera. The signal path is vinyl->Tx-6(24bit)->GoPro(24bit). The FX are really nice sounding and solid. If only it was 1/2 the price - I'd buy another in a shot!

Holy crap! Despite being a TE product customer, I had zero interest in the TX-6, I wrote it off as one of their overly expensive nice-to-have gadgets, and probably wouldn't have entertained a review of it from almost anyone. But I'm so glad I saw your video because I think you're right, this "abonmination" is def the future of where music gadget designery is headed. And it just may make sense at that price if they can get it closer to their POs. I'm always thinking that for sample playback I could use literally ANY computer device, but then when it's time to hook one one up for a mobile setup, I do have to invest time in setting up something to work - but built in to the mixer makes a ton of sense for if I was gonna do small live gigs w just me, my Roland JD-XA, and a TC Helicon voice processor (and mic). I own the RME Babyface for >10 years and while I wouldn't gig with it, it's been hella reliable.

[@JakeSweeper]

Being a trucker who likes to mess with and jam with the gear, I'm always on the lookout for the compact and portable; space is always at a premium on a Freightliner.

I quite like my TX-6. I view it as an audio multitool; It does a lot... adequately. I get that that's not exactly high praise for something so expensive but I really do think its form factor and the fact that it's battery-powered are major selling points. I'm constantly repurposing it for different uses and moving it around because it's just so easy to do so! I find a lot of value in its portability and its many functions, even if those functions are almost always worse than dedicated devices. I don't think it's the right device for most people but I'm really glad I bought one (used).

So much Tennage Engineering stuff souns great but the Apple aesthetic and close to Apple prices pushes me away...

[@AudioPilz]

Close to Apple? I think we're deep in apple territory

[@mrwpg]

@@AudioPilz I'm a Behringer fan, they made this addiction slightly affordable, was trying to be diplomatic, but yeah...

Teenage Engineering: introduces the world to slider-gate. Also Teenage Engineering: introduces the world to a device with six sliders.

For that price surely they could make it at a functional size that ordinary human fingers could use instead of tiny elven hipster digits ...but hey! What's functionality when you're all about ridiculous design statements & exorbitant prices

[@AudioPilz]

Hey, I have tiny Microkorg hands and I was REALLY struggling

[@LokiusV]

Your jams are always sooooo good! Wish you released them on youtube or spotify! Would love to fill my playlist with them!!

[@AudioPilz]

Ah yes, our favourite overpriced Chinese toy brand is back at it! Not even Roland AD 2024 can beat them!!!

[@Antek5368]

TE is like Behringer with Jony Ive as head designer, half the price being his salary

Every time TE hits Peak Goober, they do something even more inane. It's almost impressive.

[@AudioPilz]

Absolutely impressive!!!

Another great video. Hmm Teenage Engineering (generally) love their design ethos, like how the devices sound, an somewhat bewildered by their UI’s and hate their prices. Although there’s a certain coolness to the design there’s nothing much that isn’t done better dnd cheaper by other devices.

[@AudioPilz]

Thanks!!!

[@forcefieldsound]

just a headsup that the timestamps seem to be slightly off for the finale jam and start when its already over

[@AudioPilz]

Thank you!!!

The Marinus Kuivenhoven-shoutout is legendary every single time

[@DR-es5ey]

Great converters in that tiny box and lots of cool features on a portable interface. I’ve already heard film guys love the tx-6 and cm-15 mic

[@AudioPilz]

👍👍👍👍

[@JGlassy]

Awesome video! You Creatively showed me what I don’t need, cannot afford, and wouldn’t buy if I could afford it!

[@AudioPilz]

Thank you so much!!!
