    The press release hall of shame thread

    This is me - never used! I got a collaborator who worked in marketing once to do one about me - I think it's pretty awesome, especially the bathos-laden ending. This up and coming Producer/Songwriter started out as a classical pianist, but by the age of 14 was already immersing himself in the...

    Pointless But It Does My Head In

    People who don't understand that you don't get paid when you go on strike. People who don't understand that the whole point of a union is to protect your terms, conditions and collective bargaining power. People who say that the 'timing of the strike is wrong' (heard this on the news a lot) -...

    New tune Hey, see what you think of this. Trying to record vocals better, but I'm quite happy with this.

    do we really need the digital switchover?

    Grrr, the whole dab thing annoys me. With DAB as it currently stands, you get low quality, less choice (no pirates on DAB of course and I think that DAB licenses are well expensive, as someone as resonance fm once told me years ago) than FM or internet radio. I could always see why we'd need a...

    Pointless But It Does My Head In

    Going to a certain record shop in London for some dubstep, and the guy working there knows nothing about Dubstep (as in absolutely nothing), then plays some really shitty d'n'b incredibly loud while I'm trying to listen to some dubstep tunes on the turntables. Couldn't even hear the tunes I was...

    vinyl purists: you are boring. please stop.

    zhao did you get out of the wrong side of bed or something? Martyn makes a mix cd, explains his reason for doing so in a fashion that works well for him, and apparently that's dishonest?? As for 'honesty' being about respecting the specific medium and context - surely these contexts are always...

    The sacred cows

    Flying Lotus. My favourite tune by is the Roberta Flack remix by Martyn. Got the first album, thought it was very boring indeed

    Musical theory thread

    It's kind of hard to explain, but here goes..... G G B D Eb Eb G Bb Dm D F A Db Db F Ab F F A C A lot of modern music gets away with using 'notes in common' between chords. So - I've underlined the notes where the chords (as triads) have...

    Audio leads (and especially headphones leads) that are curly-wurly telephone leads - what is the bloody point of them? They only get tangled!!!

    The sacred cows

    Well, since someone has been brave enough to mention Shackleton (I quite like him, got a few of his tunes, but a lot of it doesn't move me either - that MAH session a year or two ago was brilliant however), I'm going to go for Zed Bias' Neighbourhood. I really hate that tune. I hated it when...

    This is now finished - more of a pop song than RnB to be honest. i've tried to mix it as well as I can (I'm not an amazing vocalist by any stretch of the imagination), but I haven't done a lot of songs. i'm getting better at lyrics, although I'm much better at throwaway stuff than anything...

    Teaching

    This is all great advice. You should have access to SOWs so you know what exactly you're going to be teaching. I'm starting at a new school later this week, and I'll be going in to make sure I'm aware of where stuff is (resources, things on school network etc) to make sure that nothing takes me...

    Oh yeah definitely all Logic sounds, especially the drum sounds and such like. I layer the drum sounds quite a bit sometimes, but it's all ultrabeat drumkits mostly. I'm a school teacher in London.

    No it's just Logic Pro. I like Live, but part of me doesn't want to use it due to cost/time limitations. Used to use external gear with Cubase/Logic - had an old EMU Sampler, MoPhatt, a zoom fx box and an analogue synth made by Cheetah (who made the superb 125+ joystick!) But now it's all in...
