Dawless @waveform.social BKLronin @waveform.social Electribe2 still better than I want to admit
I recently centered my hardware around the Electribe2 (hacktribe) as a central sequencing device. This beacme even more a thing since hacktribe implemented MIDI soft trough. Whats especially nice about this is the internal exporting wave function of it. Any synth connected and and sequenced via midi and of course audio via mixer in gets recorded to SD to have seperate stems. Sure thats nothing special when compared to an MPC one or Smpltrek but it seems to be something compared to a digitakt.
Downside seems to be that it only records the incoming audio with the same gate notes have despite the envelope settings on the synth. So if ou trigger long notes with short notes they will get cut. I think setting the deacy to max on the e2 changes this but its still faded out or a little different from what you played.
Maybe someone has more experience with the export function collecting erxternal synths. Originally I recorded the complete 4 bars of the external synth into one sample and let

Dawless @waveform.social G2V @waveform.social Using pedals in mixing before recording
I run my gear (Polyend Tracker, Korg Prologue and now the Syntakt) into my Soundcraft-12 mixer and then into a Scarlett 2i2 to my laptop. Does anyone use the FX send/return on their mixer for 'master' effects' and if so, what do you use? I've been playing with a JHS Colour Box in that way but was curious to see what others do.

Dawless @waveform.social Porphyry @waveform.social General question about a DAWless setup.
Hey everyone, I've been using hardware synths to write music for a little while and I've heard of dawless setups around and I sort of get the gist of it. My question here is how do you/do you record songs to be able to post in some other way or is using a daw as just a recording step not mutually exclusive with a dawless setup?
I guess to sum up, does dawless only really refer to what is controlling everything or is it truly never using a daw?

Dawless @waveform.social ChappIO @waveform.social My Custom Elektron Setup
A while back I built this custom electron case. I should probably use it more than I do right now but it's a lot of fun.
