completely wrong. They werent put together by any guru. They are a bunch of hicks that have been playing the same song over and over again since high school. Their generic stupidity comes quite naturally.

yes fanatacism engenders nazism... along with every worthwhile thing that mankind has ever accomplished. I don't exactly see what latinos in Brooklyn have to do with Nelly Furtado. She's not a latina for one thing. That her pop music is popular in a demographic towards which a string of high...

I think the question is when did it become OK to question the fanatics. Fuck the soulless Pitchfork eclecticism. Even though I disagree with a good 80% of what Poisonous Dart has to say, I think he's by far the best hiphop writer on here mainly because hes a true fanatic. I may not agree with...

I'm not surprised. I loved Lord Willin'. I didnt like the Got it 4 Cheap mixtapes. I don't like the new album and the singles were garbage. The Neptunes production is not bad, but I would say its regressive and dated. I don't know if they pulled out all their drum kits and synths from 5...

I dunno, I think there might still be one extremely BIG thing going on: hiphop. I don't mean true-school hiphop, but hiphop in a very wide sense. You only need to walk by the technical high school in my neighbourhood to see hundreds of kids that live and breathe hiphop. All their language...

For sure. I'm not trying to say music software is bad. If you're limited by money to get just hardware or just software, then software is obviously the way to go. I like a combination of both, usually hardware for the bass and drums; software for sequencing, mixing, eqing, compression and...

If you are processing more that one single sound in DAW, then the information you will be testing is not how one sound is processed but how multiple sounds are added together. the daw takes two files of information coming from the DACs (which would be the same in any program) and combines them...

I'm talking about the Waves SSL 4000 plugins vs. the $500,000 SSL 4000 analogue console. In all the wave cancellation tests you might notice that nothing ever reaches absolute cancellation. They reach down to a certain number of negative dB, but don't absolutely cancel. That's because there...

True. I think the chances of making bad or good music are equal regardless of what gear you use. I'd rather make good music on good gear than good music on bad gear though. The way I see it theres nothing to lose by using good gear. It doesn't mean you have to wank around, and if you...

It doesn't matter to me at all. I would use any program out of PT, Logic , sonar or Nuendo/Cubase because they all sound good. I only pointed it out to disprove slothrops argument that all DAWs have the exact same summing characteristics, which is something I don't think I've seen asserted...

umm thats a pretty extreme claim... where was this demonstrated? wave cancellation is a notoriously deficient indicator of when two things actually sound the same.. example: the Waves SSL 4000 plugs.. ultra-high wave cancellation between the original and the plugins that should mean exact same...

He's right. Have you heard a moog in action?

I'm defintily on the hardware side of things although I do use plugins. The reason that most things done in Reason sound the same is because its sound engine has a grainy sort of sound (and obviously because a lot of people just use presets). I also find that Ableton live has a distinctly and...

the breaks committee passed a resolution stating: "Let us create the worst music ever" and nu skool breaks was born

I think you need a little help on this one. Garage refers to exactly what garage is and has always been: soulful house. Here is a huge garage anthem from 98 that was battered by EZ. http://www.yousendit.com/download/zSL%2BGj0cwLg%3D 2step UK garage, on the other hand introduced a two step...

Jonny L produced Victoria Beckham's 2step single Hackney Soldiers were Ratpack or SUAD (or someone like that) Teebone was a jungle producer. Marvelous Cain switched to 2step Skibadee did 2step tracks Remarc had a big garage hit there were countless rumours about all sorts of dnb producers making...

yes, one of the worst things I've ever seen.

relative to baltimore house? everything you say about hyphy is more true of baltimore house: tedious, not very creative, each track blends into the next, jocked by the 25+ fader/turntablelab set.

but you know, you could always go for something modest: more drum machine porn here

it might be handy for live shows, but in all other departments your probably better off with a 1000
