Gonna have a go at making beats on my sampler outdoors. Something I see a lot of Americans, Mexicans and peoples in warmer climate than me doing on their YouTube channels. I’m looking for new sources of sounds all of the time, whether outdoors, vinyl records or sometimes Tracklib for example.

If anyone can recommend some for me to check out that will be super.

Always enjoy these and there are some lovely tracks on here. Wondering if all of these originate from Wavlake and other similar places. Interested to learn of others always.

That’s bad! Hehehehe

Taking these two gadgets with me to Cornwall this week to do some sound recording. Well it is a family holiday but a man needs to escape for awhile or three. I’m hoping to capture some cousin Cornish sounds and create some beats on the SP using them. I’ll document my process a like bit with some video (maybe).

If you are not familiar with these items , let me introduce them to you.

On the left we have the Zoom H6 a handy recorder with interchangeable microphone and line inputs to record various things.

On the right is the Roland SP404 mk2 a versatile sampler and effects system.

Been very sunny in Reading these past few days or so. Hope your event goes well!

That’s amazing! I’ve seen one or two out in the roads here in England over the years. Often spot one at Goodwood festival of speed and that sort of thing.

Don’t think I’ve posted this one here so far. A few weeks ago we headed down to Portsmouth and I recorded this video with my X3. I walked from old Portsmouth in the direction of Southsea and it was a glorious morning. Added some of my own music to the video mixing in the sound of the wind and the sea lapping against the shore.

It’s high time I shared some of my musical experiments again on here. I’m driving my Hydrasynth here with Logic Pro for iPad and making live tweaks to the synth on the fly.

It’s great isn’t it. Had a crazy morning, was a bit rest of the pants coding to fix some bugs. I’m vegging on the sofa which made me chuckle when I saw your note!

Cheeky request. Can someone send me a few sats, testing that I’ve fixed my wallet.

It’s very orange and it sounds beautiful. The hydrants takes pride of place on my desk! Here are some sounds I’ve recorded so far - https://samply.app/p/1GvXDW1CEFAcgM7byz5M

Using ChatGPT I generated a Simpsons version of myself. I loved the result!

If you live close to Reading like we do, you’ll be familiar with this wind turbine. Turns out that there is a path right alongside it and you can get very close to it. On a calm day like yesterday, I couldn’t really hear it until we stood further away from it.
