Best on headphones 🎧
This and future videos will be published on my YouTube channel, @JunkieJeffStudio. The quality is good on Substack, but if you prefer to watch on your TV, YouTube is the way to go. Just make sure to set playback to 4K.
Hope everyone here in the US had a great holiday. For the latest sound study I really got to know my Prophet 10 synth. I’m new to synths this year and while I have a basic grasp of the fundamentals, I’m still getting the feel for how things interact in the crazy wide possibility space of synthetic sound.
This one is super playful, but it was actually a bit tricky to record and produce. Because of the effects in the synth path, I knew it was going to be very difficult to blend multiple parts seamlessly. In the end I recorded only two synth parts. The first is a single take that runs start to finish. The second begins when the drums come in and also runs all the way to the end. Hence the dueling Prophets. And yes, all the funky dancing was part of the actual recording. No B-Roll. 😎
The guitar sounds appear to feature a BOSS RE-20 (Space Echo). That effect is present on the track, however much of the guitar sound is actually additional signal processing after the fact (Empress Reverb’s Ambient Swell setting, not pictured in the video). But I was attached to the title, so I kept it anyway.
Thanks for watching and listening! 🙏
