There's something about Techno that I think makes this hard. I can give you a recipe: Dorian scale 140 BPM Polyrhtym lines etc. All that stuff goes through tape sims, amps, whacky compression etc. You actually need a human brain for that. And I asked an AI to make some type of techno and it all soun...

So...Should I worry about stereo in 2023? Often times I have a lead with reverb that doesn't exactly sound like ass in mono but it sure as hell isn't as good in stereo. I also don't know if most club systems are mono these days. Yay or nay? I put some of my favorite songs in mono like some Basic Cha...

Got a question on ear fatigue.

Do you guys work in intervals? I know 5 minute breaks are common time to time
Are there frequencies which your ears go blind to after working for a few hours or is this a case-by-case scenario?

Good Share! You guys should at least snag the encoder > saturation/distortion > decoder trick if you guys are skeptical of watching the video.

What exactly is going on in these omega transformers plugins? What's under the hood? https://thehouseofkush.com/products/omega-bundle It sounds like eq > compression> eq > maybe more compression, then eq. I just stick crap inside of those plugins (N, and A are my favorites) and it sounds good all of...

Been looking to make the switch to Bitwig because max for live just feels a bit more convoluted than it needs to be if a thing like Bitwig exists. How flexible is it? To what extent is it flexible? Can I take a sound source from one of my VSTS, combine it with a Soundtoys filter freak, and have that...

I've been thinking about buying one of those Klark Tekniks , either the pultec or 1176. The issue is they are 1 channel. What's wrong with summing the stereo for side chain then printing the L followed by the R? Gearslutz says it'll mess with my stereo, but I don't trust them.

For just a listening experience, how good are tube amps? I want to listen to my vinyl collection with it which is a collection of mostly electronic music.

Secondly, are they even good enough to slap my 909s into?

How good are tape delay pedals? My first priority is to slap my 909 BDs into them for saturation. Basically, I want to dial my input knob as high as possible for nice saturation. Tape delay pedals are just meant for dealys though right? Do any pedals do what I want to do?

The thing with modular is that you are going to spend a bit more than you think. There's always something to get! And you always have to get tons of wires and it never ends. It's also great if you want to make sequenced sounding music, and while it's possible to make stuff other than that, it's much...

Anyone here have any recommendations for ring mod pedals?

Snip Thanks for the info. Last time I interacted with you, I came to the realization that I'm just dialing in way too much from all my plugins and this time my issue is the same. And the 'loudness processing' as an approach is a better frame to look at how loud things should be as opposed to thinki...

What are your thoughts on mastering.....mastering-ish while mixing? I have a hot key towards MASTER OFF and A/B the whole time while mixing. I don't do to much on my prototype mastering chain thing, just the usual compressor, v-style eq, and limiter. I just want to hear what it feels like before mas...

I really like Ableton's sound engine for mangling my field recordings. I really like that you can do Complex, Beat, Complex Pro, Texture, and do that Arrow thing and reduce the number to get a good amplitude envelope to be snappier (you ableton users know what im talking about). I'm looking at one o...

Loving your streams. Also, random shout out to ice cream trucks and ambulances.

How many of you would be down for a discord chat channel?

snip When the internet was coming up in the 90s, you could see it had a radical potential to be about democratization. Now boards like this are a minority and discussions are an all-in-one Walmart. I used to like hearing about random cool artists present and past from YouTube before it's algorithm ...

Interesting that you mention Bonzai. I actually had progressive and tech house releases there nearly a decade ago. Belgium always has gems, I loved that New Beat stuff back in the day too. any links ? would love to check them out. Thanks for asking, but I've evolved a lot since then and I don't rea...

there's definitely trance without supersaws, you know? in fact, I think trance started going all south when they started using supersaws, but growing up in the 90's in Belgium, I can assure you, lots of good trance tracks were made without any supersaws. Early trance used to be lots darker and way ...

Saturation makes the genre? Hardly. You don't need saturation at all as a staple.

After pondering your comment while listening and actually observing my workflow, I realized I'm just shit at producing and saved a lot of money.

LOL FUCK ME.
