So, if it is 2 mono out in a stereo jack, can I use only 1 mono channel on my mixer (connecting the stereo cable to the mono channel of the mixer?) and sound Will be the same of connecting the stereo to cable to 2 mixer channels?
(Sorry for the stupid question but it is very importante to me because i have only One more free channel on the mixer)
My biggest struggle right now is whether to keep the A4 MK1. Seriously, the SE-02 is so big, it makes me question why I have this A4. Compared to the SE, it sounds small and complicated to use.
I currently have my A4 on CL, but no ones biting. Today Iâm noddling with it to see if I can coax some big sounds out of it. Probably doesnât help that Iâm also noddling with the SE . The SE just seems fuller, brighter and heavier.
The 2 next to each other sound vastly different and do not gel well together.
Edit: in Poly mode, the A4 gets bigger. Nice chords
Just make sure youâre not using a TRS - TRS cable for connecting into a mono channel, as this could cause odd behaviour if your mixer inputs expect a balanced signal from a TRS interconnect.
I thought the same when I played a Dominion 1 at a mates studio. Tone wise it crushes the A4 in every aspect and itâs a joy to program compared to the A4.
I sold the A4 without hesitation (before the MK2 announcement) and ordered a Dom1.
Still trying to get âthatâ sound out of the A4. Tried something different below (please donât laugh). A4 blends in with the Minitaur and SE. The SE is the loud, kind of out of tune thing in the middle. Love that thoughâŚ
Is normal a4 is a beautiful and powerful gear with huge possibily .
But alone oscilo is low and cold but with every feature is madness alone. But when i use my other analog dreadbox with him i need some traitement with a daw to reajust the sound of the ak.
Iâm not sure about MIDI Thru support - I thought by default the Out port was also Thru on the Boutiques but I canât find any hard info on how the SE-02 behaves. There doesnât seem to be a setting to turn thru on/off, only channel selection (1-16 & omni) for listen & send.
Why not group bus the synths through AH, Strymon Deco, or something comparable. This might provide some good gel. Have you tried hairspray or pomade yet? Some people prefer them to gel because of its different levels of hold/sheen.
Havee you tried using that âdullnessâ to your advantage in the mix? I generally find that its good to have tonal differences in instruments between the foreground/background elements, and I always prefer to do this without resorting to eq if possible. So if the A4 sounds duller to you, use it for elements that youâd normally high cut in the mix anywayâŚ? This will leave plenty of freq space for the other analogs to cut through
This whole experience has taught me some interesting things about synthesis. Thatâs for sure. A4âs powerful. In every respect. Iâm sure Iâll fit it in one of my half baked ideas that go no where besides about 50 listens on Soundcloud
