My friend Sinead (aka Animal Party) dropped by recently for the first-ever jam with the new DAWless setup I've been building. Check out the full session on YouTube!
This setup is based on an Ableton/hardware hybrid approach I've used for years, mostly with my band Loopsy Dazy which featured violin and drums. Moving to a fully DAWless rig is something I've wanted to do for a while. I plan to record and post sessions regularly, tweaking the setup and improving on my ideas as I go. I hope you'll stick around and follow the progress!
I also plan to share more of the technical details for those who are interested. There is a lot happening, from analog and modular synthesis to digital live looping. For now, I'll just highlight one of my favorite aspects of this setup - the guitar is being processed by the synth (Korg Monologue), using its envelopes, filters, and sequencer to shape the sound. It sounds wild, doesn't it!? In contrast, Sinead's beautiful harp playing is simply run through a reverb pedal.
