Re: mixing analog and digital sounds

2004-10-17 by z_flash_ram

I've come to the point (a couple years ago) where I make "analog"
music/songs and "digital" music/songs (hardware or software - I keep
the two separate.)

This approach might appear foolish and limited, but it works for me
(maybe because I am lucky enough to have most of the humble
gear/software I desire - and because I enjoy the limits/boundaries of
each.) 

I'll go on long digital kicks (won't even touch any of my
machines)....Then, a week later turnaround and go nuts with CV and
drummachines until I tire (or get antsy for the vst.)
[For example - the last 2 weeks straight, it's been software only. 
But today, I finally busted out some hardware: MD/XBase/MoPo and Evo
all together.  (Plus I've been fiddling/modding with my 'modularized'
MG-1.)  And it will be hardware for this whole week, I'm figuring.]

***So, all in all, I can't offer any help on mixing the two worlds,
because I don't want/need to.

(lol)
