These two pics alone = FTW.



Anyways, the A7's finally arrived! They sound so tight! Here's how the full setup looks right now. Messy, I know. Need to tidy up.



Tidying up can wait. Time to make some musics!

Metasonix S-1000 Wretch Machine! Vermona Re-Tube-Verb reverb! Warm, glowing tube goodness!

Maybe time to add a Muff Wiggler, Assblaster, or Butt Probe for your Wretch Machine

I'm very impressed by you MW !!
metasonix.. memorymoog...polyevolver... Oberheim...
and the studio space is messy and funky... just as I like...
it shows you're a distortion enthusiast
and what are those monitors ? don't know them

To make something in the same (or almost the same) quality like GIK Acoustiks products then +1
Also Glenn and everybody in that company are very helpful and know exactly what they are doing and what they suggesting (they helped me in the past even if i never bought something from them)

On the other hand if the budget is limited there are much cheaper (not so good but much better than nothing) DIY solutions

wow really? I saved over £200 building my own

Hello!
Me likey likey:

First off sloppy iPhone post.
@oblique I bought the wretch as a package deal with 4 Metasonix boxes and the vermona.
Traded two plus a little $ for the Evolver, and recently sold the other two to pay bills.
The Wretch seriously doesn't need any help being ugly!

@3dot they're Samson rubicon 5a's. Not bad sounding at all, Really good IMO, but Samson is shit quality.
I've had to replace one of the drivers and I have them now permanently at 2/3 volume.
Ran out of money big time, so they'll do until I kill them again.

Distortion is underrated in electronic music, too many 'purists' who think
control is everything etc. Funny part is this is as clean as the studio ever
gets! I don't get super tidy studios???

As I wrote my post I had a feeling that you were going to say that!

I couldn't agree with you more. Distortion is magical.

Machinesworking wrote:too many 'purists' who think control is everything etc.

I'm a big advocate of letting the machines &/or the process assume some of the control. Much of the music I make utilizes improvisation, synchronicity, & randomness. Sometimes the best thing is to lose control.

@oblique Yeah it's funny having a real life drummer though reigns you in a little as far as getting nuts. There's a few songs he's going to have to go over with me to make work for him. If the beat turns around or far too abruptly for a human being goes from a mechanical beat to 1 and 2 and etc. it really isn't very fair to the guy who MUST follow it. We're talking about a drummer who gets mass amounts of accolades for his awesome sense of timing too, so it's not him.

Hey Machinesworking, this'll sort you out:
