I love how if you were just tuning into Andrew's channel now, you have no idea why he's in space, it's no longer even a thing, just a given.

[@ryanjackson5437]

But also if you watch all of his videos religiously you still have almost no idea why he’s in space. It’s just a given.

[@alexanderlane]

So I've watched his vids on and off for around a year and I have no clue, have just kind of accepted it, though this video prompted me to want to find out why. Offhand do you recall the first video about all that?

[@johnnymitchellcollier]

i havent seen all the space videos so i have a vague idea as to why he's in space. basically the canadian government sent him to space and also he's a time traveler and i think there's something to do with crystals?

No need to justify shouting out your own app, dude. Flip is absolutely incredible and worthy of the screen time!

Man I fucking want Flip to come out on android

[@riteshpoddar4189]

Same man, im really hoping he releases it

[@MrReeTart]

It's totally possible. And he explained in an older video that he wants to release on Android, but the reason he didn't is because the specifics of developing for Android mean that there's much more work involved and much less pay. If Flip Sampler is successful, he may end up releasing it for Android too.

[@gelatinous6915]

Bought a Deluge eighteen months ago, and it CHANGED EVERYTHING for me. It's an astonishing box. You'll be burying me with it.

[@adamjlipper]

Sold my OP-1 and got a Deluge, no regrets. Deluge is easily the most complete and flexible all-in-one production unit I've worked with. IMO it's a short learning curve to be able to create song basics. Then if you take the time to understand how sampling and the synth engine works it turns into an unrivaled beast.

[@el-creeper9001]

Been a Deluge fan boy for a very long time, joined their beta a few years ago. Most used piece of equipment in my studio.

[@Ultratechman]

the deluge is definitely a must have, its like a pandoras box/rubex cube where every time you think you learned it all of a sudden you discover another feature.. recording external gear in arranger and looping segments together alone pretty much justifies keeping it even if you dont need a drum/synth , basically deluge is a dawless daw ontop of all the other stuff it does

[@CoLD.SToRAGE]

“Gadget 2” on an iPhone is an amazing starting point for making full tracks on the go. I’ve written a couple of songs using it on train journeys.

[@vertigev]

The amount of value you get for the price of the Deluge is unrivaled. I loved the OP-1 but I'm so glad I sold it to get the Deluge ❤️

[@possumsattwilight5331]

i actually bought the deluge because of this video. had my eyes on it for a bit but decided to make the leap on that 999 usd price tag... time for a roadtrip

[@katherinecaldwell3753]

Finally bought an ipad(now my only ios device)an honestly flip was one of the reasons I got it. Having lots of fun with it.

[@augstn]

You were too humble, you're actually the best portable music device Andrew.

[@timoheinrich8763]

He does not fit into your backpack, tho.

[@selulancie]

The track name "OP-1 Kenobi" is simply genius

[@ToyKeeper]

When my OP-1 was having hardware issues a few years ago, I emailed Teenage Engineering to ask for help, and I used the subject line "Help me, OP-1 Kenobi!". I doubt I'm the first though, and as Andrew demonstrated, I'm certainly not the last... They're probably sick of it by now.

[@kelvint03]

so great to see Deluge on the list. I’d say the learning curve is not steep at all, and I’ve made a ton of songs with it within days.

[@RonCavagnaro]

Yep I think the whole learning curve on it is fast!

[@mr_torle]

[@1heUndertaker]

@@mr_torle yep.... it is a hands-on discovery device ... instant noise making abilities - give it to a child (adult, or under 5...) and they can do pixel art ... which you can then *play* back with noises .... facebook.com/100004320943049/videos/1854024664751547/ .... and it is backed up by a community who explore and share the many, many possibilities .... aand the developer team are very proactive in engaging and improving the firmware and functionality .... aaand so much more is possible beyond the things Andrew mentions - for example, each track can be any length - playing at the same rate ie polymeters - and using the modulations, the probability options can go way beyond traditional or *normal* instruments... I have just discovered that it will do a vocoder type thing, the IN from a mic (internal or a plug in external) can be used as an oscillator.... pitch shifting your voice/any *live* input... Did I mention that this thing is able to do this whilst on a walk / at work (!) / travelling / camping .... ?

[@sinepilot]

Good to know about the learning curve; I’ve already decided this is my next box, been researching the ultimate sequencer for what I’m trying to do and this seems like the one.

The production value of this show is from another planet!

[@tulpa1940]

I've been using a deluge since they first came out and love it! Would not want to switch to anything else, especially with the new features coming all the time.

[@AndrewSouthworth]

Flip is probably the most useable mobile phone DAW i've ever used. Every other one i've tried has either been too complicated to justify wanting to do on a phone, too hard to use on a normal sized phone screen, or too basic and limiting. Yours hits a nice balance between features and ease-of-use.

[@billyates9970]

I’m glad to see the OP-1 still makes the list.

[@spikeMMM]

[@Wackyracer109]

Great to see the Deluge in this video. Best piece of kit I own by a country mile.

It's still the best piece of kit 3 years later. I'd love to see a 2024 version of this video, though!

[@volsteh7274]

oh yeah deluge I frigging love this thing

[@ScooterJackson]

Probably grab a Deluge one day for s&g. But I really love my MPC One w/ 80$ battery pack. Fully portable, I get TONS of time w/ the battery pack, and the One fits in my backpack better than the Lives. Another good one to add to the list for folks looking.

[@mekullag]

I got Flip mainly because I thought it was a cool project worth supporting, but the simplicity of it that allows me to quickly turn a random inspiration into a concrete basic shape without even turning on my pc has actually made it a great part of my workflow. And if I end up liking something so much I don´t even want to rerecord it properly for the actual project I just export the audio 👍👍

[@cokecl]

The only reason I don't use it as often is because I found the sample selection process to be a hassle. Maybe I have to organize my samples better

[@jamescruz8678]

Gotta shout out the Elektron Model:Cycles! It can't run off a battery, but with a MyVolts DC to USB cable it can be run off of a battery bank. The thing is so much fun to just fiddle around with and manipulate in real time.

[@remyvegamedia]

Dang. I'm fairly sure the Deluge is exactly the sort of sampler/sequencer I'm looking to get for my away from the home studio setup 🤯 Didn't realize it had that capability.

[@AlexisG73]

I bought a Duluge (old display) used a few months back. I also own a bunch of old hardware samplers. SP12 Turbo, ASR10,EPS 16 Plus, MPC 3000 etc. This has to be one of the best portable work stations EVER!! Had a good session last night! Sequencing my modular rig is a dream. I was tweaking knobs and sampling like a fool haha. So much fun to use! Which is one of the most important factors. Fun over features! But the Duluge is also packed with so many goodies. I can get a track cooking on the Deluge about as fast as I can on my SP12! But with unlimited sample time haha. Sorry for the “fanboy” comment but seriously this thing is worth every penny. Especially used. I don’t really feel I need to upgrade the display either. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@remyvegamedia]

@@AlexisG73 I'm still on the hunt! Haha. Can you use a midi controller to record sections with the internal synths? I've been using the SP404Mk2 which I love, but it lacks some things that the Deluge doesn't lack.

[@AlexisG73]

@@remyvegamedia Yup, use my 37 key novation controller no problem. Easy to set up as well. It has midi in and out as well as 2 CV outs and 4 gate out for setting up with a modular system.

[@audiblevideo]

Cute Crystal Alien. And a nice portable breakdown Andrew. Your app is great.

[@Drrolfski]

What about the MPC Live II? It's maybe a bit on the clunky side but you gain a lot in return by it being very tactile AND having a very useful touchscreen while also equipping surprisingly useful built-in speakers. Besides sampling, it runs synths as well and is basically a complete DAW in a box that can connect with wifi, Bluetooth, and tons of other hardware, including an SSD in the bottom.

[@AstrotardJones]

It’s the best, but I think the vibe here is “fits in your backpack with other stuff.” In which case Beatmaker 3 and iMPC pro 2 got pushed aside for an app that can’t even host AU or be an AU plugin…
