Re: Needles and cartridges

Re: DSF's 'Oblique Strategies'

go for a piss, but leave the bathroom door open to hear your track from there. go to the morrocon cafe, chat to the lady, get some falafel, make some tea and eat your baklava whilst listening to your song. solo the 3 elements which you definately want to keep, think of deleting the others. write a p...

Re: How to make ableton sound good

whilst i do agree with people saying its your mix and whatnot, but having used logic and ableton, there is a difference. turn off all the warping if you don't need it. you get an option of how ableton warps things, its between beats, tones, complex, complex pro. find out which one you need to use fo...

Re: the importance of a good EQ

i don't think its a big deal to make a song in one daw then mix it down in another. i like composing in ableton, then exporting all my audio into logic and doing the mixdown and adding some more production. there's nothing wrong with abletons plug ins. i just prefer using logics reverbs, compressors...

Re: 100bpm

just make the fucking song at whatever bpm sounds right. tap that shit out. bpm wars will only stufle your creativity.

its not as if 100 bpm is anything new lol, some people must only listen to one type of music :|

Re: anyone wanna swap a copy of moth for ego/mirror

deadly habit wrote:this is the production forum bro, not vinyl swap/sell
and i hate people who buy up limited presses especially when a recent release for this purpose
or i could have bought a spare copy for a mate knowing how easily it was gonna sell out, but who no longer wants it?

but generally i agree with you.

Re: logic vs ableton

i made the switch from logic to ableton...

i prefer live for getting all my ideas down, workflow blah blah blah

but sometimes i export everything and do a mixdown in logic cos i prefer the plug ins. im not too sure on the whole quality flex, i think thats just a fallacy people are pushing

apparat is a badman. i know he uses ableton, don't know what else. i think his sound design and use of effects is what makes it seem more natural... you heard the album he did with ellen allien? too sick. sorry i couldnt be of more help, i think he's just pretty damn good with his synths and product...
