Hello, world...
Some bored bloke over at the propellerheads.se message board posted a question, which ended up in the old 'what's your dream setup?' discussion... It's quite funny to read what people think, so here's my post from over there - and I know I'd like to read similar posts from you:
'Give me one of 'em new 12' macs running OSX.2 (the others are too big) - and let's imagine it has an audio input. Slap a dbx MiniPre on that, with a nice an rugged Shure SM58 mic (or maybe an AKG condenser, for recording the essential acoustic guitar :)). Now, use Reaktor 3.3 as a loop recorder, mangler and effecter thing. Then sequence and manipulate the loops live with Live2 (and a Spin doctor, an Oxy8 and maybe one of the fader-equipped Control Freaks), and run the whole shebang through the EMI 2/6, with two channels going into either a Roland DJ1000 or a Korg KAOSS mixer (both have built in effects) and bounced, post-effects and crossfader, back into Live with the EMI. Last stereo out is for the Sennheisers... there you have it, a perfect setup.
Maybe there'd be room for the FM7... luvly... and, naturally, the TCNative plugins for compression and reverbs...
Maybe for studioish work you'd have a Fat 2 valve compressor/front end for recording and dirtying up stuff, and something JoeMeek for stereo work.
I wouldn't want much more than this. Maybe a DX7 or something, if I my keyboard skills were better.![Hyperprism Dx Pack V2 58 Hyperprism Dx Pack V2 58](https://img.scoop.it/6sHxdIHMY93kPvwPp7yHxTl72eJkfbmt4t8yenImKBVvK0kTmF0xjctABnaLJIm9)
And hey! Compare this to my setup:
iBook 700
Behringer 12 channel desk & Monacor DJ-mixer
AKG C2000B and crappy Stageline dynamic mic
EMI 2/6
Oxygene8
Reaktor & Live
TC Plug-ins
... and an incredibly sweet sounding, Korean steel string acoustic...
So I'm a very happy bunny!'
And also, I'm a bit curious to what you all are listening to... I'm divided between two CDs (well, four...) at the moment: Bruce Springsteen's Live 75-85 three CD set and last year's album of the year (and most other years, for that matter), the Streets' Original Pirate Material.
