Balance Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 So yeah I've got a Moog Sub Phatty but I rarely hear Moog sound in much Goa/Psy trance, admitelly I listen to only the 90's stuff really. Any known artists that have the Moog sound? Is it just me or was it mainly Roland & Nord that were predominant in early style? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djuna Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Yeah, Roland, Nord and Korg of course... Maybe because Moog is a bit expensive for hippies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disco hooligans Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 My tunes are full of Moog Slim Phatty and Minitaur sounds (and Moogerfoogers). But I am not known. Here's a tune where 80% of the sounds are the Slim Phatty with moogefoogers (including the kick). I did it as an experiment to see how far I can go with a limited (in terms of modulation) synth, like the Slim Phatty. http://soundcloud.com/martianarts/martian-arts-grey-area-demo Moog has some brilliant cheap synths around nowdays. Cheaper than a good condition Roland SH-101. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 24 hours of studio time. I use a few hardware synths (and moogerfoogers) and know them inside out, so it does not take long to make sounds I like, with them. Cheerio.

desysko Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Man that looks really nice. How do you get all that recorded into your pc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disco hooligans Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I record them through my soundcard. One at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balance Posted December 11, 2013 Author Share Posted December 11, 2013 Nice set up, how does the nord sound? I want something "trancey" to go with my Sub Phatty & Nord Lead 2x is going cheap new here. I just use a soundcard/audio input device for now but as I can see more gear coming might consider a small mixer in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disco hooligans Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I just send MIDI from my DAW to the synth I want to sequence, then go from the audio outs of the synth to the audio inputs of my soundcard, record enable a track to monitor what I am doing, build the patch exactly as I want to and when ready, press record and thats it. Mono synths cover the mono sounds. Then depending on what stereo image I have available (and what is going on in that particular part of the track) I might just record the synth in mono and leave it in the centre (if there are other stereo sounds layered at that part). I might record the synth through the Moog MF-103 and bi-phase that give a nice liquid and moving stereo image, or I might record through the Moog MF-108 that has the wet effect, out of phase on one output and have a stereo image that feels further wider than where the monitors are placed....or I might just double track the mono synth and pan left/right the two channels. Playing with the stereo image like this give a wide track and helps with mixdowns as if you have to have sounds that are clashing in frequency and timing, you can put them in a different position in the stereo image to achieve definition. Also using different reverbs and put them in different "rooms" helps the brain identify them easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desysko Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Oh well thanks for the help! I've had my synth for a while now, but haven't done much music producing, mostly fooling around with the settings for hours. I've recently did a sort of a dub/downtempo track but sadly didn't have it recorded. Looks like I'll have to bring out my dusty pc which I've haven't touched in a year ever since I got a laptop from a friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
