Can't go wrong with either one!

Thanks Dan! Yeah we easily could've spent the whole day talking about all the gear.

Nice! I haven't played the Dark World yet but I definitely want to.

Thanks Joan! Trying to use the things I'm learning in Resolve as I go.

@@CraigAllenMusicyup that’s exactly how you do it, every video

Thanks man! It was so fun, I love being in studios and talking to people about their passion.

Glad to hear! Always happy to get the word out about awesome musicians.

Thanks for listening! Trying out different formats. 1 minute ambient is weird lol.

@@CraigAllenMusic yea agreed, that’s why shorts are so so hard for me because I’m like with effects pedals you really need more then a minute for context. I really would like 2mins atleast with shorts but it is what it is. You could also feature single pedal explanations in the chain as the music plays so it’s educational for a looking to be more ambient player can hear the sound and with text know what’s at play to create what you’re doing. I’ve thought about that but I’m stretched thin already 😝

Great idea thanks!

It's definitely possible in Logic, I know some people who have done it bit it was a lot more work. If I ever figure it out myself I'll make a video.

@@CraigAllenMusic I figured out a way to make it happen the other day. It's not perfect, but it does the job.

Oh cool! Yeah I think they could definitely make the process easier, but glad to hear you got it working.

I noticed you stopped posting videos 3 years ago. Any plans to start again? I'd love to see what you're working on.

Thanks!

Probably not but I don't remember where they were at the time.

@@CraigAllenMusic It’s difficult to tell but I feel like the V1’s have more mojo to their sound in the videos I’ve seen. I also read that they used cheaper components in the V2’s but not sure if it’s true. Really want to get one but it’s a hard choice, sound is the most important for me but the midi preset option is so tempting. It’s a nightmare!!! 🤣

Yeah I hear you. Obviously the best thing would be to try them both yourself. I have heard some say they notice a difference in how they sound, to me it's not that noticeable but I assume they are slightly different. Newer is not always better so if you like the V1 then go for it, and at least you'll save some money. I will say I haven't used the midi stuff yet but I do like how they changed access to secondary functions on the new one. That for me has been worth it for the way I use it. Good luck!

@@CraigAllenMusic Cheers for the advice Craig. Maybe I’ll buy a V1 second hand and then order a V2 to test. Either sell the V1 on or send back the V2. You’re right, probably the only way to know. 🍻

Yeah great analysis!

Nice! They're both great and I wish I could've kept v1 honestly.

Sounds good! I actually need to do another update soon too.

Nice! I'm really interested in how to stack layers well and creating full, interesting and "organic" sounding ambient compositions with multiple independently moving layers through like parallel blending and sidechaining. I have the common problem of throwing everything at the canvas and not planning out and leaving space for dynamics. I was really into you separate looper placement. I need to mess with early chain loopers more. I have many of these pedals or similar. @@CraigAllenMusic

@winstonsmith8236 oh cool. Yeah I've tried doing parallel stuff and actually have a Matrise on the way. As soon as that gets hooked up I'll probably do a video on the full layout.

Pedaltrain-3!

It goes Microcosm, Polymoon, Immerse. I usually like it early in the stereo part of my chain.

Thanks!

Where?

Thank you!

I've tried that as well. Sometimes it's nice to have an end of chain reverb after the amp.

​@@CraigAllenMusicOK, thx

Yes, beginning would make sense for that purpose. At the end its because guitar cables lost signal over long runs, so by converting it and running the majority of the distance with XLR mic cables, less signal will be lost. Probably not a huge difference but might as well use it if I have it.

I'd love to get the stereo at some point but it's more expensive, that's the only reason.

By using the DI, you can use balanced cables at line-level, which are not prone to picking up noise like unbalanced guitar cables.

I ended up selling it. Took up a lot of room and I probably would've gotten a bigger board if I kept it. Also I just wanted to simplify things a bit.

You're right.

Thanks!

Enjoy!

Thank you! Cheers!

Yeah to my ears the sound is pretty much identical. I think that was their goal, same pedal just with more features.

I don't know, sorry.

No problem!

Maybe you still have the El Cap after… can’t tell routing I guess

I'm always moving things around to try to find a better use for everything. Things have already changed since then as well. I'll post an update soon. But to answer your question about the Chase Bliss pedals, the Habit and Blooper are sometimes used as loopers and sometimes more as delays. So I switch the order depending on if I want Thermae and other effects to be captured in them for long loops or processed after them. Ultimately I recently got a Switchblade Pro which allows me to run 2 pedals or groups of pedals in parallel or series and I can also change the order. So hopefully that addresses the issue of switching things around as often.

Same thing with the El Cap and Microcosm because I use the looper in Microcosm. All the order switching comes down to what pedals I'm using to loop that day and what I want to either capture in those loops or hear after it.

Cool

Once it's on the right midi channel it's good to go!

@@CraigAllenMusic Thank you!

If I got everything new, yeah.

Used gear gang. ❤

Slip and I think stretch!

Thanks!

Thanks!

Oh nice! I also want to try the Microcosm after instead of before. Can't wait to hear what you do with it!

You bet!

Thank you!

Thanks!

Thanks buddy.

Thanks!!!

Thanks!

Thanks so much!

Haha thanks!

Thanks so much!

Old Blood Noise Fault v2. Btw, signal chain is in the description!
