Members J05H Posted September 17, 2008 Author Members Share Posted September 17, 2008 What's your next movie? What kind of stuff do you do? I scored this TRAILER with the OASYS. Well, I tell the guys that it's about what happens when virtual reality worlds crash, and I tell the girls it's a family drama. Sounds hokey, but we just finished the script, and it's solid. The characters are really great, and if I can get the locations we want, it's going to be a really special short film. We'll also be using our new Sony PMW-EX1 HD camera. Woot! BTW, I don't think there is anything lacking with the setup you already have.I don't either. It's just very utilitarian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Diametro Posted September 17, 2008 Members Share Posted September 17, 2008 You absolutely need to believe that or you'll never make it through production (even if it's "just" a short) ... Good luck!!! Here's my best bit of fun ... (Although there's also a V-Synth off to the side ... ) Why is it fun? All those knobs, sliders, buttons, keys and pads make sounds and noises I REALLY enjoy ... for use with my feature/video projects ... it was film that actually got me into musicmaking/synths while editing my first (and only, for now) feature ...

Members J05H Posted September 17, 2008 Author Members Share Posted September 17, 2008 You absolutely need to believe that or you'll never make it through production (even if it's "just" a short) ...It'll be our second film, and this one isn't going to have us standing out in the middle of nowhere in the rain in the middle of the night, so we've got that going for us. I'm also not going to be walking through the dark recesses of an abandoned military base dragging power cables and mic cables through what smells like human urine, either. Ah, the glamour of filmmaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members augerinn Posted September 17, 2008 Members Share Posted September 17, 2008 My rig never wants to go out. It just wants to sit around and eat bon bons and watch TV. It's starting to let itself go. I've been talking with a new rig though. It's exciting, and seems to "get me". I think the old rig knows.....

Members Palaver Posted September 17, 2008 Members Share Posted September 17, 2008 PigHood, The setup looks spectacular. However, I notice when I start getting more than two boards around me... do you find it a little odd spinning around backwards, and then clicking record, etc.? I find once it's out of reach of the computer, I don't use it (I depend heavily on my DAWs) and I jam along to Ableton while writing... The setup is fantastic. Nice blend of everything. Cheers, PB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members carbon111 Posted September 17, 2008 Members Share Posted September 17, 2008 ...do you find it a little odd spinning around backwards, and then clicking record, etc.? Try a wireless DAW control, you can set it anywhere in the studio, including on the synth you need to play or it mounts to a mic stand as well - it's tiny: http://www.frontierdesign.com/Products/TranzPort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members asynchro_nous Posted September 17, 2008 Members Share Posted September 17, 2008 Some of the most fun stuff in my studio is also probably what could be considered generally underrated or obsolete: Roland MC-505's and SP-808's; a Peavey analog filter; an Alesis Ion; Yamaha RM1X's, TX-802's, and a P-120; ART Dual Tube EQ; Korg Wavestation; etc. My more "modern" and "appreciated" gear is certainly fun, too (Motif XS7, V-Synth, Kurzweil Mangler, etc.).... Getting it all to sing together is the truly "fun" part.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sound_geek_1 Posted September 17, 2008 Members Share Posted September 17, 2008 ... do you find it a little odd spinning around backwards, and then clicking record, etc.? I have XP with 2 monitors, keyboards and mices. One set is by my synths and the other is by my mixer and monitors. I have it set to duplicate the desktop. Works great with any application. The nice thing is I had the parts lying around unused so no cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members stikygum Posted September 18, 2008 Members Share Posted September 18, 2008 Quasimidi Polymorph is probably one of the most fun I've had from an instrument. Moreso than an Electribe, just because of the depth of synthesis, and the sequencer is way better. I'm getting the modular bug and this is starting to be where it's at for me. The FR XS is a blast to play. But my rig is as fun as I make it, I could take out some tedious pieces and just focus on recording more straight forward and fun instruments, but I usually try to cram it all down my throat. The Korg Padkontrol makes things more fun though. They need to make that thing into a step sequencer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members malfunkt Posted September 22, 2008 Members Share Posted September 22, 2008 FINALLY , I have a fun rig. Its the most modest one I've had too. Motif ES6 (with MLAN), Radias rack on a music stand, piano bench, and a pair of headphones. Been through plenty of 'fun' gear ... but I've need the right mix of sequencer, interface, features, sound quality and synthesis ability. The Motif ES, as blah as a workstation as it seems, is fun simply because I can do the most mundane of live sequencing tasks - Punch In / Out. Combine that with just a piano and I'm set. The Radias is helpful mostly as a nightlight but it sounds very nice too. I could have accomplished all of this easily on my computer (so I can agree somewhat with SetAI), but I just need to separate myself away from it after working all day on one. So J05H, I'd keep what you have.. BTW - I find my keys on my Motif ES really responsive.. though I like the ones on my former Z1 and Virus TI keyboards better.
