Mostly Robot - electronic "super group of nerdy white males"

Oh my. Who masterminded this act? Too cool.





My only question is how do you turn an S4 into an effects tool for vocals? Routing the mic through it? I mean, you can't do effects to the mic input, can you, other than through the loop recorder. Right?

It’s not often that a hardware manufacturer in the DJ industry decides to put together a band- but that’s exactly what Native Instruments did when creating Mostly Robot.

Did it actually say on the blog? I just noticed when I watched the vid on the blog that every single product they talked about using was an NI product and all I could believe of was, "oh, well I guess it's kind of clever marketing by NI." It also made me wonder if the visuals part of the show was an NI beta product.

As for the group itself - the idea seems kind of cool. They're all pretty creative and talented guys. What I'm a bit confused about though is where the actual collaboration comes from. The only part of the vid where they actually mentioned working together was one of them (Jamie maybe?) mentioned using Shiftee's scratching sounds as a sample; otherwise it just looked like each one of them soloing. Still, NI marketing ploy or not, I'm interested to see where this goes.

20.07.2012		Shiftee is brilliant. Not just his DJ'ing - he's a funny guy!

20.07.2012		I can't decide if this is cool or just the return of 70s prog rock, in which case somebody fetch me my pitchfork, we've got some wizards to burn.

You'll definitely have to loose a deck for live vocal input that is meant to be processed with effects if you want to record internally.
Another workaround would be routing vocals into Ableton Live or another VST host and processing the vocals with Traktor's 12, a bunch of Traktor's effects being sold seperately. Then you would record vocals seperately in Ableton and your 4-deck mix in Traktor. This would require some work after having finished the mix though. Just a workaround which I wouldn't prefer over loosing a deck in Traktor.

20.07.2012		True,

I believe he did a completely new mapping in Ableton, as that Jamie Lidell was talking about ring modulators etc.
