    Agreed. However, you described it as "pretty great". Saying that it is better than the current gym fodder does not make it great. I've often wondered if it's not a mixture of culturally embedded xenophobia and puritanism that prohibits most North Americans from enjoying house and techno. Too...

    EDM

    :eek: Surely not. Surely Guetta is the blandest, most homogenous example of the EDM trend. Everything in Titanium is sound-a-like; Sia sounds like Riahanna, the kick sidechained like a motherfucker, the lead sounding like every electro-house record made in the last decade. To me, there is...

    Actioning a blue-skies approach outside the box

    I would agree, when used correctly. In my experience, the phrase, "What are the deliverables?" is most often uttered by some random middle-management fuck who got invited because he/she is a "stakeholder" and is trying really hard to impress the people in the room with clout. Very rarely to I...

    Actioning a blue-skies approach outside the box

    What the fuck does that even mean? "We're trying to impress someone important"? The word that makes my skin crawl the most is "excellence". As in "Business Excellence Group" or "Navigating Towards Excellence". The CEO of our company wanted to create an "Image of Excellence" to inspire us...

    Ahahahahahahahaahhahahahahhahahhahahaha... Sorry, (wipes tears) sorry. That's given me the giggles. Ferrite, owen, not ferret. I was under the (obviously mistaken) impression that the whole irish militancy thing was over. Anyway, here's something for those vigilantes to find: <img...

    You might try here: http://ctrlr.org I have a Casio SK1 that I bought at a flea market, but I've never actually used it because it doesn't do MIDI. I was impressed by the sound and feel of their new performance synth, the XW-P1. They were selling for $450 here in Canada just before Christmas...

    Nice one! That sort of control is exactly what I'm shooting for with my remote zero/rompler combo. Just can't seem to get the hex right... My hardware lust started with that Synth Brittania doc. I still lust after a Korg MS20 because of it.

    Old School Hardware

    I'm more familiar with my Alesis MMT8 than the new (to me) Yamaha, and I like that very much. Ridiculously easy to use, hardy and cheap; it was perfect for my first forays into hardware. I mostly went looking for the Yamaha because it will do 16 tracks. It's a bit funny, tho. The MMT8 will...

    Any producers here making use of good, old-fashioned hardware? I just picked up a Yamaha RX5 and a QX3 that I'm excited about.

    I must admit, with the way Danny set it up last time, I was surprised to hear that someone might not have recieved a tape. Let it be known that Mr. Eden is simply forgetful rather than unreliable.

    Jesus Christ, owen! You don't bugger around, do you. I should probably explain at this point how this is going to work. In the past, I acted as a go-between for participants; I put all the participant’s names in a hat, drew names at random, and passed the addresses along to said participants...
