With Aira amongst us i believe that “Acid” (love it or hate it) will be kind of lost to the masses - if it isn’t already. I jumped on the band wagon my self with x0xb0x building and 808 samples - but at least i used to party in '88 and '89 (and 90…91…and so on) so i consider myself OK to do so .
Anyhow join me in showcasing your finest Acid attempts before it too late!
Heh, no way will acid (in the sense as we understand it!) ever become commercial/mainstream, it is the anti-thesis of that, so any attempt to commercialise it will result in failure, because once you start adding in cheesy shit it is no longer acid, but just another tedious cheesefest with a 303 or clone in it, there have been lots of tracks like this in the past 20 odd years, and they are soon forgotten.
And, the TB3 in the hands of the average hipster nimrod is going to sound just as shit as it does in the Roland demos, over effected gutless shite.
Ministry of Sound will probably re-brand the term acid house, just like they did with deep house, electro, r&b, garage etc, but anyone who knows even a tiny bit about music genres won’t be fooled.
Great posts so far guys. @ Daren Ager… I actually bought your acid face EP a while back with the Summer in Detroit single… it gets regular play time on my commute.
Here’s a little ambient acid track made with the machinedrum and Analog FOUR. Every-time I play this I sort of regret selling the Analog FOUR… but onwards and upwards… I needed to take my music in a different direction as I was getting too comfortable with the acid sounds I crafted.
the volcas sound quite nice, even though I bought an A4, I still run the volcas through my OT, the volca sequencer on the other hand is horrid if you are used to an OT
Great riffs throughout man!!! I love the snakey 303 lines. Great work man:)[/quote]
thanks. it was a friend and i at the controls. he did most of the acid. it’s kind of his thing. we did a few live sets w/the same set up and the same idea… just improv from start to end.
highly recommend that way of working w/these types of machines. gets weird at times but is so much fun and the good parts are special. i think we ventured off into acid polka or something at some point in the night
