TUNA! LIVES FOREVER

[zosomagik]

haha yeah, it is cool to see the different decisions that people make. I can't wait to get my hand on someone else's sample material *cough* those soul records *cough* I also think next time it's my turn to put up a sample I'm really gonna switch it up. I always pick sample material that's similar, so I'm gonna go out of my way to just find some whacky shit.

[nowaysj]

I don't know, I like the soulish stuff.

[zosomagik]

I do too, it's just become a little too much of a characteristic of my stuff for me.

[Aufnahmewindwuschel]

try to give some feedback later

yeah hope i can send in a sample flip like the samples but i´m not too inspired lately

[nowaysj]

Just start cutting it up, and putting it into whatever you use, a drum rack of samplers, I bet you crush it.

[Aufnahmewindwuschel]

a drum rack of samplers

pssst dont tell them my secret

[zosomagik]

I have a drum rack preset with 16 samplers in it, it's what I go to straight off the bat. Especially with percussion, it just makes layering soooooo much easier. I don't use it for samples I'm flipping though.

[Aufnahmewindwuschel]

yeah drum rack sounds just like its for drums but basically its just the fastest way for me to multisample and all that

[zosomagik]

Well I use drum racks for samples that I'm flipping, I just don't use drum racks with samplers in them. I prefer the simplicity of the simpler for that, because all I really use is transpose, attack and release. And if I want to get more creative after that I just duplicate the track and bounce one to audio to muck around with.

[nowaysj]

LUKE, FEEL THE POWER OF THE SAMPLER.

[Aufnahmewindwuschel]

yeah albetons sampler with its morphing filters and lfos on lfos and all this "routing" inside... macros

[zosomagik]

Thinking about it, I really don't know that much about it. Only the basics, so maybe see if I can dig up some advanced tutorials and peep the manual.

[Aufnahmewindwuschel]

yeah the only thing the simpler seems to do better is switch the sample start stop in real time maybe i overlooked sth but it seems you just cant switch the sample around on its timeline in the sampler when its set

[nowaysj]

Holy fuckanoly. I've been feedback for a coupla hours. WHEW. You multi track motherfuckers.

All caught up. Sorry for my tardiness. Was out of town and all that. You guys are really good, man. I just want everybody to step up to the next level. I hear a lot of people, like, in stasis man. TURN IT UP!

[Aufnahmewindwuschel]

i do agree hence my compilation idea but yeah

[nowaysj]

No doubt dude. I've been hovering in wip mode for a good while now. Never REALLY taking a song all the way.

Spencer, I think you gotta take the lead on that and make it happen. Make it happen.

[Aufnahmewindwuschel]

hm have you tried to do an album or an ep ?

dont even need to release it or anything

but having sth in a pack or like in a folder waiting for you to go back, check again and find bridges between tunes etc
makes it way easier to finish them atleast like in the context of what you want to achive with your ep, album
you even can drop the album idea afterwards but you will have finished material

yeah nobody responded to the compilation idea so i will wait and ask again in a while i am persistent

Naw, I've never, well not in the last coupla decades, gotten anywhere near an ep or album. But I'm getting there right now. I'm just figuring out what I'm doing/what I'm about right now. And EP'ing is definitely what I'm looking at doing. A compilation might be a really nice stepping stone for me to get up to that level. Just taking a track or two all the way, going back and fixing all the things that I've let slide cause it was 6am on Sunday morning and my daughter would be up in an hour...

But you are the Compilation Boss. You make it happen.

[Aufnahmewindwuschel]

hm honestly dont be afraid to do an ep or anything the worst people could say is how you have the balls to put out this unsigned shit but yeah those people suck anyways lol

and in the best case you get some new listeners andi know i talk big with all my unmixed unfinished ideas but once in a while it graps me to really finish sth as good as i can

[Aufnahmewindwuschel]

the thing is i think
you have to admit when you reached your "maximum" without like pushing your skills 100 percent to get whatever maybe 5 percent more out of your tune. and i mean like selfmixing mastering all that.
i mean i heard some let their tunes mix and obviously a professional master is always the best choice but if you cant do that for reasons like money whatever it takes alot out of me atleast to do all this after i thought of a tune
so you have to say at some point thats what i can do let it be shit or not but i am done
