A thread to celebrate the state of UK housing stock. Uniquely ugly yet unaffordably expensive. Owning a little chunk of this bejewelled isle is a burning desire for us, moreso than our European cousins. I spend a lot of my time on Rightmove looking for a prospective upgrade, ending up in a...

Love, love, love the guitar solo version. Less is more.

Well, shit... after a crash course in gain staging, it appears if you are operating in the purely digital realm, as long as you avoid any clipping... the headroom issue is not a big one. Nevertheless, I've enjoyed learning about the mastering requirements, and now have everything set to -6db...

Dumb question, but when you say 'send over pre-masters'... do you mean send the multiple stems of the track, or a single flattened file?

Intro track for an EP I'm cobbling together. I've thought about making music for 20 years. Started dabbling 10 years ago on and off, and only this year actually worked out how to finish a track, and capture the sound I want to make.

Out May 21st supposedly.

That's exactly what it is. That's crazy that in a bull market he's managed to lose so much... making impressively bad decisions every step of the way - but the main one is betting on absolute shit tokens. If he had just left all the money in Ethereum and done nothing...

This blew my mind a little, at first I thought the intro was designed to grab my attention and would then settle down, but oh no, it just distorted and evolved into a whole new vista of sensory overload. It reminds me of hyperactive dreams I used to have as a child... in a good way? I'm not even...

I think your description of the track is far better than the track itself. I want to now go away and try and make something captures that statement fully, that does it justice. Very dance-able, Your bass gives it a richness that a synth wouldn't be able to mimic.

Yeah that's really solid. It's all about that final drop at 2:45. Reaktor & XO power the drums, with Omnisphere for synth duty. But the tools that make the track and bring in the movement are Tantra and Turnado. I recorded a big chunk of drums as a unified channel just running through those...

Thanks, I will find time this week to rework it.

Well, I planned to spend a few days agonising over something, but ended up knocking out a track in a couple of hours, and I can't fathom how to improve it just yet. So here's my contribution in its first (last?) draft. My first ever serious attempt at a non-ambient track, I've made some...

I'm glad you like it. It's a bit of both in the sense I work with sample-based synths; Alchemy and Omnisphere... but yes, Kontakt is in there for straightforward sample playing (the strings that come in at the end). As someone who can't play any instruments and works entirely in the box; I'm...

An example of the only type of music I can manage to make, finished today after a couple of evenings work. Despite subsisting off a diet of techno, jungle and noise, I am completely unable to conjure up any of that when I actually put my fingers on a keyboard. Music for escaping the Zoom call...

If anything, state controlled cryptocurrency will only drive people towards the decentralised alternatives, as they seek to avoid the government control of their finances, especially when the state banks print more and more. Although I'm sure China will seek to totally outlaw the use of any...

This doesn't surprise me in the slightest. And I suspect I am part of the audience that drives the revenue in this industry. The middle-aged dad, staying up once the kids have gone to bed, hunched over a box of wires or a laptop with a disposable income to spend. I've probably spent two to...

Happy to try and chip in a tune... but I must warn you I only make noodling ambient.

Glosses over the Italian scene with a single sentence and a mention of Lory D. I assume because Beatport doesn't stock those labels, so why bother. Looking forward to when Beatport goes under.

Good news if you are a gammon.

You can't leave us hanging like that.
