SOPHIE interview

Makes sense, especially when thinking about that piano/harpsichord/guitar hybrid sound he often uses in his later work, from “R Plus Seven” and onward.

Kingtiers · 2018-12-01T19:40:02.769Z

Yeah he basically composes midi, renders instances out of Omnisphere and randomized settings on other vsts then comps them out. I mean, that’s dumbing it down a bit but it’s not far off. I think his approach is more of a curator in a sense.

But back on topic. Interesting Sophie doesn’t seem to be using the Monomachine anymore. I saw an analog Rytm and an Octatrack? Was that an Analog Heat on top of one of the full sized synths in the back?

GirTheRobot · 2018-12-07T17:45:14.443Z

Just saw this pop up on my recommendations and came here to post it.

She’s using Serum (of course) and I see a Rytm, an OTMk1 (I think?) and an Ableton Push.

But has been pointed out…No MnM. At least not in the shots. Maybe she’s retired it? Or maybe it’s just not immediately set up. Who knows.

Interesting philosophy. What would a mountain-sized piano sound like, indeed, Sophie?

Kingtiers · 2018-12-07T20:47:32.034Z

Saw her fiddling with Massive, too.

i think the box you were referring to as the analog heat is a mackie big knob.

Its inspiring she can get all that from that sparse room (though of course there might have been some post production somewhere).

Probably just her laptop

Kingtiers · 2018-12-07T22:09:10.483Z

All you need is software and a space to mix, really.

xidnpnlss · 2018-12-07T22:24:03.721Z

Reminding me i must be doing something wrong

GirTheRobot · 2018-12-07T23:42:15.050Z

Totally agree. Only hardware I have is a MD, a MnM and a MIDI controller. Unless mics and guitars and amps count

Avril_Lasagna · 2019-01-02T20:44:05.214Z

For Sure the demos are usually pretty blip bloopy, which has it place but I agree there sales where pop

luciamsmsmsm · 2019-01-12T04:08:41.710Z

she actually did make this on the Mono. there’s a video of her playing the demo of it straight from her Monomachine - live.

luciamsmsmsm · 2019-01-12T04:09:15.930Z

Where?

Kingtiers · 2019-01-12T05:01:31.326Z

I was wrong. Just rewatched it and it was just Serum. For some reason I thought I saw a cut with Massive on screen briefly. My mistake.

GirTheRobot · 2019-01-12T05:07:12.675Z

I’d very much like to see this.

Also, your Sophie obsession is bordering on unhealthy Is it time for an Elektronauts intervention?

luciamsmsmsm · 2019-01-12T07:08:37.276Z

im not exactly obsessed. i’m just really into find more about how SOPHIE does her sound design and stuff. I like other things too ya know.

tengig · 2019-01-12T09:04:12.418Z

No it’s not

Is it time for an Elektronauts intervention?

Gross. Lol.

luciamsmsmsm · 2019-03-03T19:28:02.529Z

the sample pack kinda takes the fun away from desigining sophie like sounds from scratch imo…

FireCircle · 2019-03-05T17:36:09.060Z

Everyone has a different opinion. For some it’s a gold mine, for others they’d rather run the path, discover the knowledge, and then take it somewhere.

You do you.
