Strange start to a post... A lifelong friend of mine was euh, killed recently. The kind of stuff you only see in movies. Somehow it started a creative musical process. I sing out of tune, but the making was more important than the result. It was kind of a therapeutic.
I do everything with Teenage Engineering OPxy and OP1field. A long time ago I used to play on the train with a Yamaha QY70. Didn't do anything for 10 - 15 years. Some years ago I started DAW'ing. But starting up computer and cubase, sitting behind a computer, in a fixed room, cables, linking plug-ins ... I hate it.
Enter Teenage Engineering. Just power it on and continue on your project or try something new.. Wherever, whenever. You don't need both machines. Got the field first. As a lot of people discovered, it's a totally different approach and more akin to a band rehearsing live. Missed midi/sequencing. Added the xy and now I have my perfect "studio".
My workflow is 80% of the track is made on the OPxy. Then I record to OP1f. There I add extra sounds or beats but mainly vocals (also great vocoder).
You can listen to the project mentioned above here, on soundcloud.
