December Q&A

Hi there, Omri. Using a sample rate of 96kHz only works up to a certain patch size for me, despite having set up an up to date PC / CPU / GPU build, optimization on operating system side and respecting the vcv documentation and best practices. 44.1kHz works fine for enormous patches, and it seems you use this rate as an default. Maybe a short opinion from your side whether higher sample rates are worth the cpu cycles or not would be really nice, from a creative or aesthetic view. it would be a pleasure if you could give some hints on working with fewer modules in some ways to spare resources and keep patches clean and small. but i'm totally fine with an short opinion on the sample rate from your side. ;) Thanks so far Omri and all the best :)

Hi, Omri. I'm wondering what is your main occupation/job if music is more as a hobby? How did you start with modular music? Thank you for all that you do!

Possible approach to start small with a hardware modular system? I'm thinking about a building or buying a small Eurorack with a power supply and maybe building some modules (either kit or from scratch). I have other gear and wondering how a very small hardware modular system could be used with VCV Rack and other gear to start small with hardware without breaking the bank. Any insight you have would be helpful. What modules are most useful when getting started with a hybrid system like this?

When are we getting a Voltage Block tutorial? :D

Hi Omri, Thanks for all the inspiration. I have been trying to create brass sounding voices (and failing!) I love Colin Benders raspy horn like sound for example here: https://youtu.be/GhCB9Wtx6eo?t=1617 (26:29) Have you any suggestions on how to create them?

Hey Omri I would love it if you could explain (or if it's too big a topic make a video) how you go about converting your modular sessions into samples to make music. I've been spending a lot of time on the synths but find that I never commit to audio and I still don't have the skills to make full songs outside the computer. I find that when I'm working on a song and want to add some sounds from my synth it completely breaks the flow of what I'm doing and makes me go deep into the synth. How do you deal with this? What are your recommendations? Thanks!!!
