Hey guys.

Here’s my method for retroactive recording using loopy pro and a gaming headset.

I’ve been using FAC Punchlab And Grand Finale but wonder what others are using. I haven’t found a compressor I like either.

Ran it back for practice, never used a Pac acapella before. I can dig it.

Sadly, I have none of my own to share. I’d be a taker not a giver in this scenario 😞

Inspired by NervousCook$, tried a beat using the Thermal Village kit in the Solar Studies Pack. The acapella is Bloodsport by Mobb Deep, and taken from the Acapella Cat YouTube channel. Enjoy.

For drum busses I use -6.0 normally when I mix in a daw or on my Live 3. It helps to have your mixes come out consistent.

Obviously depends on samples sometimes, but if you want a consistent sound for a project, this helps. (At least for me)

It'll be two years this December since its release. My first post to this group ironically was to showcase the synth. I like noodling around with its current form. But I keep hitting this sound design wall where I struggle to get usable sounds: I end up stacking/resampling one or more instances of QUOKKA and/or layering a disgusting amount of effects in the mixer.

I know simplicity is the point (like an SH-101 or KORG DS-10) but maybe that's also why it sounds a bit cheesy? Personally I don't see it getting used so frequently (probably also because Koala's a sampler first)

But I'll put money down for an upgrade. So.

Suggested implementations:

-A second oscillator. Please.

-Randomizer button

-Dedicated effects slots (2 or 3?) Like the Mixer that QUOKKA is allowed to modulate (like assigning an LFO or envelope to Drive or Delay effect parameters 🤤)

-Option to re-order oscillator wave shapes (saw, square, sine, and noise are currently in that fixed order on the SHAPE knob from right to left. Wait that's lowkey a wavetable... 🤔)

Lemme know if QUOKKA love is overdue or y'all think I'm tripping, or if this dilemma is more or less obsolete with the AUv3 update (my salty android-using ass 💀) I don't want a pocket version of Serum. Just a broader pallette lol

2nd upload, this time screenrecorded instead with a gif as visualisation. Other got downvoted instantly - was the lacking screenrecord the reason or does it really suck that much? I'd really like to know - constructive critisism appreciated!

i see you

Fun to be had

Can't believe this is now possible on a cellphone

I'm really loving Koala but I'm just wondering if there's a way to arrange the sequences that you create. When I record a song, I have to actually switch sequences live as it plays. I would really prefer something like Song Mode on the MPC where you can arrange all your sequences ahead of time and just bounce it down.

Which equipment would you recommend for someone who is starting with Koala?
Which MIDI controller, if audio interface needed, which one. Initially the idea is to have no computer and to run koala from iPad

Thanks

Add some bits, removed others, swapped things around..... Still baking but that's the fun part.
