That triton plugin is dope! How are those arturia DX/Casio plugins?


They sound great!

Aside from my modest collection of modern analog, and classic digital hardware synths I have a massive collection of virtual synths which includes the entire Arturia bundle, Korg keyboard collection bundle, Roland Cloud, UVI Vintage Vault bundle, IK Multimedia Syntronik Deluxe bundle, and all the Softube, Output, Cherry Audio, Native Instruments, Plugin Alliance, and of course the Air Music Tech synths.

I'm kinda obsessed with synthesizers.

Like my Mother and Father In-Law knew to buy me the Behringer Wasp Deluxe and my Wife gifted me with the Behringer Deepmind 12D for my 50th birthday obsessed.

Part of it comes from my history.

I grew up working out of NYC studios like Brooklyn Sound Lab, Calliope Studios, and Unique Recordings which all had big rooms filled with synths, drum machines, and samplers. Unique called their room MIDI City which was the craziest they had everything that was out during that time in there. If we were in another room and needed something we could just ask the assistant engineer or an intern pull one for our session. Now some of these studios don't exist anymore, but the gear that was in there lives on be it, Behringer, recreating them, or these virtual versions.

I'm very skilled at sampling, but synthesizers are my real passion, I hope Akai Pro adds more synths to the MPC X, I love composing within the MPC environment and then layering with whatever sounds good to me at the moment...

Now you see why l was reluctant to switch from one PC to the next. And it doent end there , all the presets l bought l have to reload them back into each plugin. :Sigh:
But some l don't have to authorze they have the serial number. You put it in and go.

@Fresh
Yeah lm very skilled at sampling, that's what l grew up on along with beat box machines.
Im known for my drum programming , that's my real joy. I don't sample much these days. I do a lot of RnB, Pop and Orchestral music so to get a feeling l do a lot of playing. But l sample a lil bit to put voices in the music.

From the hit factory to Quad studios to Stadium Red and Chung King studios etc l have had a lot of quality lessons and experience and meeting big name artist.

Now basically doing my own thang and give advice, lm happy. Trying to lock down a deal with a couple of media outlets and artist. Its so dope, plus l have own stuff comung soon. Doing the finishung touches.

So I know where you're coming from.

Troy and Dani Germano, greatest Father and Daughter duo ever! I worked on a project at Hit Factory, they have great rooms, well buildings. I also been to Quad. it's crazy how things changed, one day you're working out of multimillion-dollar studios and now you have the technology of those multimillion-dollar studios in your home...

@Fresh that's true. That's why a lot of those studios closed down because of the digital age. People started having home studios. What lead me to tje choices today. Today those studios are for tracking, expert mixing and recording. Making tracks you do that at home in your stoo and you don't have to pay no one or rent a piece of equipment. Master P did all his music in his home stoo and he killed the game. His higgest moments were in the Adat and Dat years lol.
Man.ii have went from cutting tape wuth raxir blades to Adats to Protools. Dam we seen a lot.
