+ 10 KZbinr Bonus points for your Cat on the bed behind you ! 😀 I LOVE the N40 Sublime & N40 Standard double set kit.

Your videos are educationally entertaining-and this was a treat to watch. It’s cool to see how this works! Weird? Nah, unique!

[@BenElliottSound]

Thank you so much, Bethel! Seriously, it means so much! 😁

Damn man I need one of these in my life! A cool free alternative if you dont have RX Spectral De-noise is to use Audacity's noise reduction effect! Just select the part of your audio clip that plays only noise and let the effect detect it, then it will remove the noise in the rest of the audio clip. Then import that audio file into your daw of choice once you're happy with the sound itself :)

[@BenElliottSound]

Definitely, man! Audacity actually has some pretty slick noise reduction tools! I used it for a loooong time before RX! 👀

[@DemonaruMusic]

Holy crap I've wanted something like this for so long, longest time I've used the free but dinky DSK Music box which was...fine, only ever really felt like a mockup instrument.

[@BenElliottSound]

It's a super cool instrument! 😁 It has its challenges to use, but there's nothing really like it out there. 👀

[@DemonaruMusic]

$425 though? Don't want THAT bad.

[@BenElliottSound]

@@DemonaruMusic Haha, yeah, it's definitely steep!

[@mbcommandnerd]

@@DemonaruMusic You haven’t seen anything yet. Just wait till you see the prices of the new N40 models that are currently on pre-order right now…😅

[@Mike77154]

my new favorite instrument

[@BenElliottSound]

I'm glad you like it!

[@Megollyen1]

Where do you find this stuff, Ben!? 😂 Awesome video, though! And I loved the little piece at the end :) Genuinely laughed out loud when the sunglasses fell off his face. Haha

[@BenElliottSound]

Thanks SO much, Meg! I do a lot of random searching for weird instruments in my spare time, ahaha. 😅

[@Megollyen1]

@@BenElliottSound I’ve genuinely been enjoying the stuff you’ve been doing here! I went to school for music briefly and one of the classes I took was a world music class and it was so fascinating. There’s a whole world out there that most people have no knowledge of. Looking forward to see where you go with this channel! :)

[@BenElliottSound]

@@Megollyen1 Thank ya so much, Meg! I appreciate it! 😁

[@Erico9001]

Thanks for your deep dive! I recognize you from a comment on a Xenoblade video. Does it sound like a real music box? Im just listening through mic and speakers mind you, but it sounds a bit worse possibly? I like the idea of a programmable music box, but maybe it could be more real sounding and designed closer to traditional ones?

[@BenElliottSound]

Hi! Thank you for watching! I would say, tone-wise, it's about as music box-y as it gets! In real life, it's got a great sound! The only potential thing that might annoy someone is that it has a light drone of a motor in the background, but in some ways, I feel that lends it an aesthetic quality of its own!

[@TylerMireMusic]

i want

[@BenElliottSound]

Haha, if you ever want any recordings, Tyler, hit me up! It'd be my pleasure!
