I know I'm gonna get a bit of hate for this since this board is so UKist but that is SUCH an English thing to say. Why is it that you Brits are such vitriolic, prolific haters and criticisers of things and one another? I've travelled a bit and so far the UK takes the trophy hands down by a...

never heard of bebo, but as a musician I do dig myspace. I like it because it offers a way to make oneself accessible and it has something of the accidental meeting potential that you have in real life. It's possible to just trawl through and stumble across people, something which the...

not a song but a lyric, think it was 3-6 mafia. Something like 'eating so much shrimp I got iodine poisoning' loved that to death when I first heard it. e-40 has a bunch of great food related new slang (Gouda, Chalupa, Jaeber(sp?) but it's all food as money metaphors.

Tate: Richard Serra comparison is bang on. Being overwhelmed, encapsulated and lost in this physical sound is a major part of the experience, one might even argue *is* the experience or at least is the unique and exciting part of it. Also worth noting is that many dubstep tracks put some of...

Of course! I hope my posts don't sound too critical as they're not really intended to be. As someone who spends a lot of time pushing bits of digital audio around I just wanted to point out that some bits of the story were a bit more mysterious than others. I joined the hype last week and did...

I should have mentioned that I have only used soundforge for the most basic stuff (usually recording internet radio) and I make my music in other software. However, SoundForge isn't capable of taking MIDI input is it? Some of those passages in the Burial stuff sound pretty clearly like a...

I can only play the keyboard, and that very badly, but using the computer I manage to produce some tunes that some of my friends like. One of my favorite quotes about making music is from Yamatsuka Eye of the Boredoms, saying "One of the most musical things I can do is listen." Which I feel...

one spanner I'd just like to throw in the spokes here is that I think spending a lot of time thinking about what he/she is doing in SoundForge and how that shapes the sound might be a mistake, since for my money (not that there's much of it) the claim that it's all being done using SF...

poison dart, I know we've been through this before but who made you the keeper of the eternal flame of New York hip hop haterism? The fact that you've got it all broken down to a neat little mathematical formula just reveals your mindset even further. Hiphop was not invented to be the...

Haterism these days is truly becoming an epidemic. But lord, that was one of finest verbal slapdowns I've read in a long time. These bloggers cannot hold a candle to the Underground Kings. I for one am delighted to see the south dominating, I think it's probably the best thing that could...

yeah me and my girl are both DJs, and we had to move a couple times last year. If I never have to carry another milkcrate of 12"s up 4 flights of stairs again it will be too soon. This is a MAJOR serious argument in favor of mp3s, they're not so fucking heavy.

this shoestep tune is nice, please make a longer edit. I'd be happy if you just loop back out of the breakdown. If you don't, I might draw for the audio editor and loop it myself. Reminds me a bit of TV on the Radio, I wish Statik would holler at them instead of the strokes or whoever it is...

Who would you hold up in this case then as a worthy example? One of the things I enjoy about modern specialized society is that we don't all have to be hunter gatherers. If people were left to produce their art only after working in the fields or 'helping the community' I think the levels of...

re: syrup sipping q a bit back, they are getting high on the codeine. DXM and Robo Tripping is not what this is about. Popping pills, vicodin, hydrocodone etc is also often referred to. I want to hear more good 4x4 grime tunes like Dexplicit's Bullacake or Skepta's Duppy. I love those tunes...

OK... (hitches up pants and wades in) First of all, the person who I am quoting is an author and historian who is looking at at least the last 500 years, not just the last 50, and this is what I am talking about as well. Certainly in the short term a lot of garbage can be buttressed by many...

Totally co-sign on this. Although now that we're officially in the fruity loops/garage band era I'd say a lot of the those people will have to shhhut their mouths pretty soon. Look at Skream, I'm pretty sure he's on fruity and just LISTEN. A lot of people use hard/software acquisitiveness as...

what is Kidulthood, what has MTV done here? Sorry I'm out of the loop in berlin.

While we're hating I'd just like to say I'm hating on a lot of the haterism on this board. I think it's very nice that we've ghettoized it into a thread but it still comes flying out at such strange times in other threads it really makes posting on here less fun. Not saying I'm innocent at...

Not knowing too much about the mp3 spec specifically I'd say that using the same mastering done for a CD would be very satisfactory. When mastering for vinyl you often have to rein in some stuff as it's just not cuttable (will cause the parallel grooves to bump into each other etc) but for...

I'm loving this music, the whole haunting hazy vibe of it is something we need more of. And I think playing some mystery games about who's made it is cool, every artist creates and presents a persona to go along with their music and in this case it's just obviously mysterious and/or...
