RE: The Making of Impending Doom Music Video

I usually refuse to watch the "Making of" episodes on streaming series but for you @sketch.and.jam the usual rules don't apply 😉 Ok, you know I'm an old guy, I love all old school equipment are the mixing console and the amp actual equipment or virtual displays on the software you use? I'm guessing virtual.

Sort:  

Its all just software with a compact midi controller to essentially control the software version of the old school synth. For synth stuff software is good enough with a few extra plugins to make it sound a bit more organic. But with guitar its still fairly impossible to get midi to sound like guitar. I still have an old mixer in the closet with some keyboards sadly its too big to bring with me on the train lol.

I'm not enough of a music enthusiast to notice the sound difference. I just like old equipment 🙂 anything - like an analog speedometer and tach on a car dash. Just has a cool feel and look.

The analog equipment is fun because its less predictable and can sometimes lead to some unusual sounds. With software you can reliably predict how everything will sound exactly, probably better for planning out and producing a song quickly but less fun for unexpected creativity. The style of analog equipment is also cooler looking than a screen on a laptop lol.
