^ great advice in the posts above, I'm someone who has really struggled to finish stuff in the past. To elaborate on this what do you think holds you back from finishing these tracks, is it perfectionism? For me I just knew I was gonna make a mess out of a great idea, and I often did, and still do.....

Good question. The first goal, keep making music and enjoying the process and improving. My goal a few years ago was to just finish some bloody tracks and stop dicking around with half finished loops I'd love to create a really decent IDM-ish album, yeah I know it was done to death in 90's but it wo...

Absolutely, I'd be very interested in this.

Your guides that are sticky-ed in the Hole on how to do a basic home master and mix buss compression have been massively helpful to me.

Movement - New Order
It Takes A Nation Of Millions - Public Enemy
Jack Trax 5 (loved most of the Jack trax albums - but 5 sticks out in particular).
Bytes - Black Dog
Incunabula - Autechre
Texturology - Beaumont Hannant
SAW 1- Aphex Twin
Artificial Intelligence II - Warp records Comp

Top Tip: Bookmark this thread and revisit in the winter. Revisiting the the turd infested waterfall of crap music in this thread on a chilly day will make cringe yourself warm, very warm. Now please ignite your lighter and raise 'em high one more time for Simple Minds (and pay attention to the penny...

Anything by Crowded House. Fucking bastards.

& Simple Minds. Shitehawks.

with a special mention for Crowded house, hey now hey now what a crock of shite

Some right stinkers above.

But now I'm talking proper childhood trauma - my mother had an album by this lot that just got played on repeat. I still feel slight nauseous to this day when I hear Pan Pipes.

Oh the horror

Of course, how did you know?

Nothing like a discussion of shit pop music to pull a lurker like me out of the shadows. Nostalgia ain't like it used to be :) Please bear in mind I was very small, but I do remember pop music being in the background everywhere when I was wee whippersnapper, even my local library where I used to get...

Thought i would post in here as there is lots of good information. i came across the below videos on youtube and went on a tangent and moved a few thing around in my room and tweaked my set up. thought people would find these useful.

Not very techno but I still dig it...

Great topic. Something I don't really understand so I hardly ever bother using compressors. Will check this out tomorrow and follow along. Really pleased your using free and stock plugins too, nice one!

Both have very special memories - but Energy Flash is my favorite by quite a few notches.

I have just been following along with the Droney techno video, excellent video. I have mostly ignored the wavetable synth until now. Had loads of fun playing with it today. I feel like a bit of chump owning the amount of VSTs that I do when one of the the built in Ableton synths sounds this bloody g...

Hm. How about some Downwards fashioned grumpy old men Techno for the next session?

Sounds excellent, look forward to it. I was present on the dub techno live stream a few years back (when we were all cooking in the heat!), very helpful.

I'd love to - it takes me about 2 months to finish one track.

How the hell can you finish a track in a day? (serious question).

Your workflow must be shit hot. Hats off to ya.

56 is no age, what I liked about him was he just did not give a flying, he'd get booked at house and garage clubs in the 90's, because he was Weatherall, and just pound them with techno all night and convert them. A true pioneer, one off... Agreed, witnessed him play so many good sets in the 90's a...

You can't beet that feeling of victory!

Earlier today I was playing football with my young nephew when he had quite bad asthma attack.

I won the game 10 Nil!!!!
