Another dawless jam that I recorded on video. I think from now on, when I edit the videos to post online I’ll also try to rip the audio so I can upload both. That way people have an option to either just listen to the jam or watch it.
I also would like to see if I can actually stream. I set up a twitch account, and now that I’ve got my spouse’s old laptop set up as the streaming/recording computer in the studio (my spouse and I got our laptops at the same time, but mine was the top-of-the-cheap-models and my spouse’s was top-of-the-midrange-models, so even though it’s equally out of date, it’s a bit more powerful.) I can at least record with OBS, I may be able to stream too. The only way to find out is to try.
For this one, I decided to go without percussion, and just record a couple of bass and chord lines on the Novation Circuit Tracks, then play and improvise along with them. I went simple, no instrument doubling for this one. Just the Circuit playing its two loops, and me playing the MS-1, Crave, and CS Reface on the fly, with me recording a loop or two for the Circuit to trigger the Crave in there.
I know a lot of people out there look down on some of these cheaper synths, but for someone who can’t afford a classic Roland SH-101, a classic Yamaha CS or a modern Moog Mother 32, these knockoffs do what I need them to. They let me make music.
