In all honesty, you should consider compiling your jams from the other episodes into albums. Unless I missed something, I for one would join up to hear your music as a full album.

What I have learned most from this show is that music gear is just like people: a) every one is totally flawed, b) every one deserves to be embraced with love respect and an open mind, and c) when treated well, every one can shine in its own special way

Back when I was a teenager, I couldn't afford Massive or Absynth. But I had demo versions with a bunch of presets, though I couldn't save my own, and it would like... hiss at me violently every few seconds. So I would sample a single note into a very cheap sampler plug-in, using "Orion", one of the cheapest DAWs of the early 2000s. I got so much mileage out of this bootleg setup back then. I even faked some basic "sampler synth stuff" like automating the sampler's filter and basic envelopes, or layering presets samples of them to make my own "new patches", which I could save in the sampler plug-in because that wasn't a demo version m What a time that I never ever wanna go back to ever again!

This is so damn hilarious considering just how popular one-shot samples are right now. What you did with your bootleg setup is what I do with my actual hardware synths like my Moog One and JD-990 lol. I'll make my own one shots. It becomes even more hilarious when I tell you that I throw these one-shots right back into Serum, using it as a sampler, just to Alt. Pan their voices to get a wide sound, and sometimes I even modulate the pitch using Chaos to add wow and flutter.

@@AaronAlso Spectral stuff is really useful though. You'll see. Mastering, mixing, sound design, correlation, etc. GPU styled algorithms (that is, literally using the GPU for audio processing sort of stuff, like how games use super convoluted overrated algorithms to render a slightly better specular reflection, when I've already coded stochastic clipmapped non-linear raytracing sort of realtime stuff on like a nvidia gt 9600 and radeon 4850 15 years ago) with "photoshop" styled editing to make it way more efficient. I mean, you can kinda already do that, if you know what you're doing. The arb limitations in FL studio (and with FFT in general) are annoying though, it's like there's some inherent misunderstanding of why FFT kinda sucks. Perhaps I can alleviate that. But really, that's on Image-line. At least it's not unstableton. I do not know how to express my hate of windows 10/11. Words can't really convey that. Maybe nukes? Btw, did you know, if you render an image on a typical GPU, and all you do is jitter the camera position by roughly half a pixel (randomized vector) every frame, it's a lot like free antialiasing that continually improves (depending on the camera change)? That is, the image continually improves (coz you blend it with the previous frame) if it's like a "static" view. Ironically, intel and amd's IGPs are FAR more suited for proper audio than anything nvidia, no matter if you got a 4090 or whatever (I don't even know what they're called these days, but I will not buy nvidia).

Beside dubstep, massive was also used a lot (and still to this day) by composer Disasterpeace for the soundtracks of the majority of his projects (most notably Fez, Hyper light drifter, or it follows.) It was also used by lena raine for the soundtrack of the game celeste because she was inspired by the sound of Disasterpeace

Massive X has been my favourite softsynths since it's release. The biggest issue with Massive X was the UI, which was simply unfinished at its release. The UI has become acceptable after a couple of updates, but it remains underdeveloped compared to other modern softsynths. The quality of the sound engine however is unmatched imho, and that's what matters the most in the end. No other softsynth I've tried can beat it, though Pigments is getting closer with recent updates (and beats it by miles with new features every iteration). It's a pity NI has apparently completely lost the plot, and has left Massive X dangling with only meagre updates and useless preset packs being released since its debut. The sound engine of Massive X is simply ahead of its time, and has so much potential, but NI forgot it also needs a modern UI to go with it, and the competition isn't standing still....

Massive X has the best sounding sound engine I've ever heard among all of top VSTi synths. The quality of the oscillators, filters, effects and the whole voice structure is absolutely outstanding. It delivers high definition sound in the highest possible quality. It beautifully sits in the overall mix with other instruments regardless of the sound type - whether it's a bass, synth, lead or pads, MX can do all of this. You can spend hours and hours with knob tweaking getting awesome and never ending timbre variations producing very fresh, juicy, modern and innovative sounds. MX covers everything - it can sound very analogish, smooth, dirty, hard, digital it only depends on your sound programming skills what kind of sound you are able to dial on it. Although there are other top notch VSTi synths which also sound very good and tasty, MX is still a level higher than anything else if we consider the engine sound quality and the timbre variability it can produce.

@@AudioPilz We all started somewhere. 🥲😄

I know you have people recommending gear for the show all the time, but I just got hold of an old E-Mu MP7 “Command Station” synth and it would be so PERFECT for Bad Gear.

​@AudioPilz it's your destiny to command one of these less than portable groove boxes

This is better than any meme compilation videos! Asa mentioned elsewhere in the comments, the MS Paint window.. oh man this is gold! 🤣 But, indeed NI Massive has aged well imo.

Imagine recreating that LFO section in Eurorack. Just chain 16 Xaoc Zadars in a row :D I'm going bankrupt just thinking about it. Happy weekend! 😊

Great episode as usual, bought Massive last year for the sale price of £40 and FM8 at the same time for £8 two great synths for bargain prices, their normal price is £129. NI has updated both to be Mac silicone compatible so they should be supported for some time yet.

I basically finally left making music in AL, when Massive became too much of a resource hog to make really complex patches running inside a Live project, with a bunch going on elsewhere in Live, on the IBM notebook I had at the time. 2014 or so, I think. After using Live since 2001. So far, I haven't gone back to AL, or any DAW. Crazy how time flies by... The great thing about Live, is that it's still mostly the same today, as when I last made tracks in it, in about 2014. I would simply learn the new features, and be right up to speed. What's more amazing, is that plug-ins live Massive, are actually just redundancies, as Live is capable of all it can do, and soo much more, stock.

I hear what you did with this soft synth and now I want to hear you make music with it. Like, real tracks on Spotify or wherever.

I never really loved Massive, but I did understand its power and popularity. And I'd be lying if I said I didn't use it on a few of my released productions, too. I remember spending a good few days programming a disco stab sound in Massive.

By the way … your intro hook sounds good. Should keep it for your next videos dude
