Iām a freelance photographer/ videographer. I primarily shoot on a Sony A7III. The lens I use for recording my jams is the sel35f14z (Itās a bit tricky tracking down a good copy of them tho). As for mounting, I use a Vanguard Alta Pro 2+ 264AP.
There are cheaper options for getting something comparable to this tho. Ie. Sony A6400 + Sigma 16mm 1.4 would get you very close to this for significantly less.
Additional notes: These are screen caps from a recording off of OBS and a MYPIN capture card. No grading was performed.
As for the pink bits in the 3rd photo, Iāve been building out a Jitter visuals patch that composites the visuals and camera feed in real-time via a luminance split. (Darker portions of each image are discarded, etc.)
Thanks so much for listening; the kind words are really appreciated.
When I first set it up, I thought it made sense from a presentation standpoint to āplay to the viewersā, rather than have them assume my position. In the second clip, youāll see Iāve actually set the jitter patch to switch the orientation on each program change message. (either flipping the image vertically, or splitting horizontally)
This is my new space Iāve begun to get dialed in. I havenāt done any acoustic treatment yet as Iāve been trying to sort out workflow and ergonomics. I just added the temp Ikea desk for the synths and thatās been the missing piece for workflow. Iād been trying to use the desk as a workspace for the synths and it was just all too cramped. Once I added the desk I felt compelled to dive into the machines more.
Iāve been out of the synth world for a while, so Iām trying to get setup for integration of organic and synth sources with good sync. I had inadvertently found a perfect solution when I had a eurorack setup locked to Logic and Ableton using an Expert Sleepers ES-3mkii. I didnāt understand that that was why the sync was so effortless. Trying to get these machines to sync tightly has been a royal pain, so Iām starting to get a new Euro setup together that will be somewhat utilitarian and some fun bits as well.
Apologies if this is a bit long for being off topic.
Tbh, I moved OoTB with the Rytm back in '17, because I was tired of sample hunting for perc at the start of every project, and then continued further into hardware because Iāve never enjoyed having to freeze or print to audio. For that reason, the sampler aspect of the Octatrack hasnāt ever really appealed to me; I rarely use samples on the Rytm.
As for real-time resampling, I borrowed a friendsā OT a year or so ago, and tried this out, but couldnāt quite achieve what I was after. To make up for the lack of conditional recorder track trigs, I tried MIDI looping to trig the recorder track, but for whatever reason, MIDI triggering the recorder track doesnāt seem to do the same as a native recorder track trig, so.
Next up, the modular-mixer aspect of the Octatrack is the probably the most interesting aspect to me, but there are two things that have always stifled my enthusiasm on that front:
The FX seem to have garnered a fair amount of notoriety for being less than great ā which would lead me to want to invest in some external FX units, but
The IO is rather limited.
As for the MIDI side ā Iād be all in if scenes could affect MIDI. Since they donāt, Iāve generally felt like my time is better spent in Max.
All of that said, Iām sure Iāll own one, eventually.
Yup. It was my first proper external preamp I bought around 2003 or so. It was a game changer for me and Iām very attached to it. Prior to downsizing I had 16 channels of external preamps of this and that, but sold all of it off and just kept the MP2NV, so Iām sort of back to where I started. The DI is a thing of beauty on bass.
why isnt it there?
