i've taken a different tact about layering kicks recently and i feel like Hades was more right initially about using the one kick and just refining it. maybe there's kick anxiety a little bit, since if the kick isn't terribly present in techno it's regarded as a fail. but drum machines and sound des...

Cool. i did look to saddle cable clips (for cat5/6 installs etc.) to keep my rig in nice shape, also could give me stress relief on some shorter cables. i totally agree that colors are the way. though i used to love seismic. some of their xlr cables failed on me recently so.. i'm -_____- about that ...

+1 on the M447 they just feel right and for me they always sounded real phat. though if you get new needles, break in the rubber bearings by leaving it on the platter overnight and raise up your tone arm balances to account for the height. m447s just slaughter dust bunnies. so if you're lazy about c...

dry_erase_magnets_1M.jpg hey so i been doing tidy work.. yes i am procrastinating. but it feels good to clean up and i was thinking the tape strips on my desk get really gummy if i put electrical tape or other masking tape etc. and it sucks to move gear to different channels... anyway. they sell th...

ah, i really like your perspective.. I'm definitely not considering all aspects and i do suppose that people have built upon the successes of others. i'm a fan of the history of this music or, i guess all electronic music, and i'm trying to sort it all out (it's a pretty vast history not really ofte...

you can buy debrox or a similar product from where you're from. i used to used that after my eardrum was perforated and my ear built up a lot of protective wax. i still can't hear terribly well in that ear but once the eardrum healed and that wax was gone it was a big relief to know that i might not...

i guess i got confused when i put maschine samples into my mpc, then listened to the same samples in maschine. i think there's a slight difference there. if there's actually a difference, is the difference in the conversion to audio in the mpc or how the files are converted to audio in the ni box, s...

do you think processing rate has anything to do at all with an effects processor from 1992 s/a an ensoniq DP/4 vs the dsp chips of a strymon pedal? cause that's what i have been listening to. like i heard old warp stuff from richard kirk next to all native instruments set ups and i'm like this is a ...

if you download music illegally you're a bad person. lol. i think there's good and bad uses of torrents. like if you are trying to promote yourself, or have a free album. that's great, most people won't even take notice of you if you're not on a torrent site. which is wack.. tbh, because it's full o...

my younger friend had pointed out to me that he said, " that sound reminds me of the 16 bit era" and i was like, wait, wat? it dawned on my the reason why i had been pursuing computer based editing has been for that gloss of a higher bit rate. and all the newer DSP chips that work on the sound over ...

dredging up this thread because i've been stuck elsewhere.. possibly tweak happyland of trying to learn my evolver. :3 anyway. yeah i have had tinnitus for freakin ever. i think what comforts you the most would be to listen to isochronic frequencies or maybe some bass sine waves. i've actually had t...

feel your pain. :/ just cracked my dx7ii and wasn't successful. thankfully the battery and engine still work great with midi.

Speaking of standardization, does anybody know which way a midi port is supposed to face? Seems like if they would agree on the language they could agree that the port should be the same way as well. It's weird, roland has the 5 pins down, sometimes korg has them sideways, and most of the time DSI h...

i hear some of these replies and i'm like, thank goodness i'm not the only person who obsesses over tracks for days, weeks and months on end. maybe a track is done is when it is done. i personally think that time gives you better perspective on something you're working on. to me, a short 2 hour burs...

i've grown up with akg270 headphones. i've tried Sellout dynamic and while they are good quality they don't seem as rugged. also use akg k81 headphones for everything. live pa, ipod, djing. just good all around headphones with great response. for monitors, i use yamaha hs series w/ sub and a switche...

just use a multiband compressor and then use some heavy limiting. it's not right until you can feel your gums vibrating, bro. once you got that down, that should set your mixes apart from the rest.. i'm totally sure of it. wooo! jk.. light compression maybe but if you feel like your mix isn't doing ...

Thanks this is super helpful. Another idea that i had been tossing around is kind of an oldschool idea. Make a full pattern in your drum machine that you are happy with, copy it across several pattern numbers. Cut out the drum parts of the patterns in other banks to create scenes: intro, main a, mai...

so i've been fascinated with this idea for some time... mostly because i started out a long time ago naively making dodgy live mixes as full songs.. but i have gotten frustrated whenever i hit that static arrangement of stems. i've been trying to get some ideas together on how to approach arranging ...

Logic's ssound engine is horrible. Muffled as fuck... 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) Yeah, it's weak in the 60Hz area, mate. do you think that's why i attribute logic being more cinematic and ableton being more angular? or is it in the way ableton handles clips is sort of at right angles? tbh all this talking abo...
