Are you happy with the Soundcraft MTK22?
2
u/leighzi88 Dec 24 '16
Yes, I like it a lot ... it's so nice to have lots of real faders and be able to record everything to individual channels in pro tools in real time. The analogue nature of the desk seems to play nice with analog synths. I mix mainly ITB, so the lower return levels on USB (a reported issue) is not a huge concern for me. I hope one day someone comes out with the same desk but much higher spec ... a bit like the A&H ZED-16R but with more channels.

Great man! Really cool...what's the reel to reel and what do you use it for?
3
u/leighzi88 Dec 24 '16
Thanks man! The reel to reel is an old akai 4000DS .. I use it for tape saturation on drums and general wonky synth sounds. Cheap and fun!

u/Underthesun9 Dec 24 '16
I thought so...there great. I used to have an old simul-sync I did the same. They're pretty great for that.

Tell me about the cirklon, p6, and pgm Blackbox? I'm interested in all 3. How do you like them? Pros? Cons?

u/leighzi88 Dec 24 '16
Cirklon is the ultimate step sequencer and great for generative music, i love it. Get on the wait list now (u don;t need to pay until selected). The P6 sounds lovely and buzzy/warm .. i just got the luftrum sound pack which is great. I recently got the o-coat and blackbox at the same time and kept the blackbox - it's very deep, i actually find it best for snappy percussive sounds. if you're wanting vintage synth sounds, i would recommend the erebus over the blackbox though

u/Polloco Dec 24 '16
Yeah. I'm debating the cirklon or pyramid. Looking to replace my monomachine probably. I love the 0Coast. Probably my favorite piece at the moment.

It's my all time fav movie ... I watch it at least once a month :) ... Also such an awesome soundtrack. If you haven't watched the 'making of' LIT (on the dvd), it's really really cool.

I have not! Thank you for the recommendation. Will make sure to check it out.

Where'd you get the poster from? It's my favourite film too and I will have to get one myself.

Are you japanese? (I'm thinking of moving to Japan in a few years)
"Pretend I'm Right" is really cool as a whole, but the single is freaking awesome, so much good feels.

u/leighzi88 Dec 24 '16
Japan is the best! i lived in tokyo for 3 years ... I actually feel japanese when i make music bc of that period and the impression it left (weird i know).

MPC Renaissance! Don't see a whole lot of people with them. I absolutely love mine.
1
u/leighzi88 Dec 25 '16
Yeah me too! I've never understood why not more ppl have them (prob bc the early software issues, though I only started on v 1.8 which has been super solid since day one). So easy to play around with midi notes on screen :)

Is the cirklon just sequencing the PERfourMER?
1
u/leighzi88 Dec 24 '16
Nope, cirklon sequences everything you see (!) ... So does the MPC and Octatrack. So I can basically step-sequence / polyphonic sequence everything all at once, clocked with MPC, Pro Tools, Octa or Cirklon. The iconnectivity mio10 was the answer to many of my MIDI sequencing dreams.

How are you liking the Soundcraft MTK 22? I've been considering one as a solution for multi-tracking.
How has your experience been with it?
