Sunday Synth Jam: This video captures a live song performance by Deerful (Emma Winston).
Here’s what she has to say about the technical details:
USB cardioid mic into Ableton, track muted; circuit into iRig Pro into Ableton, track soloed but very low volume so I can *just* hear it enough to sing with but there’s not much bleed into the mic and I can mix them separately.
I’m mostly using visual feedback from the Circuit to sing to. I hate performing with headphones enough that I’d rather do it like this even though I know it’s a stupid setup.
very nice.
Positively surprised! Well done!
Great vocals and a nice track.
Very well done.
I am curious though, I haven’t heard any demos of anything more nonconventional done with Circuit. Maybe I haven’t dug deep enough. Can anyone provide examples?
Awesome
Delightful
Great job!
sort of random question… but how is it working without power connected and with audio cable not plugged in? Is it rigged up w/ battery and audio connection to below that wooden platform?
It can run on batteries
Ah! I see. Batteries and it’s using a 1/8″ breakout cable for MIDI… not using internal sounds. Got it cool.
Umm, no. Still wrong. It is using the internal sounds. That is an iRig connection plugged in which I assume is so the user can record the audio to their phone for the video.
Extraordinary…
Love it. Can’t believe she’s performing without being able to hear it!
Key to playing with Circuit is getting rid of the presets. It has super awesome synth engine inside, but the presets are horrendous. This video sounds like presets though. The song could also benefit from a more organic bass instrument for example. Nice song nevertheless.
Fresh!
I was hoping she was going to use the Pocket Piano in her song, also. Fun song regardless!
Synth-pop Ya !!! Nice 🙂
