Re: Whys everything on here so technical
This scene from John Carpenter's the thing :
If you haven't seen it go back to part 1 but the scene here from about 5 minutes in really inspired me recently. The general feel of paranoia and not knowing who to trust particularly at this point is really well done and big ups to John Carpenter for managing to make this scene work seeing there's so many people in it. I took this concept and wrote the tune - Outpost 31 in my sig.

Re: Whys everything on here so technical
nice thread with inspirations, but I just felt like I had to say to the original topic, that how the hell is reading about production tips/techniques &effects & synths boring? isnt it where your interest is... or else what are you doing in the production forum?
I happen to come here to read about techniques and effects.

Re: Whys everything on here so technical
I think what Ledge was getting at mate is the fact that EVERY topic on this board seems to relate to technical discussions of varying degrees. Where as there are literally none relating to the more artistic side of production.Phase Down wrote:nice thread with inspirations, but I just felt like I had to say to the original topic, that how the hell is reading about production tips/techniques &effects & synths boring? isnt it where your interest is... or else what are you doing in the production forum?I happen to come here to read about techniques and effects.
The technical topics are not boring in themselves but when they are the sole source of discussion it does get a little bit dull.
Without meaning to sound wanky, we are artists and our art is comprised of more elements than endless discussions about VST's and brickwall limiting.

seems like everytime someone asks for influences or what inspires them it turns into self whoring time for some people
plus half the time (least for me) it's hard to pinpoint the artsy fartsy side and i leave the music to convey what i can't in words or other formats

Re: Whys everything on here so technical
exactly what habit said, I feel like that part JFK, the really artistic side and inspiration, is pure personal.. and sure its good to share your thoughts..what inspire's who etc but that doesnt make Effects synthesis and production talk boring
I didnt mean to attack anyone though

You find it hard to describe what inspires you? Ive heard you mention LOADS of influences including (but not limited to):deadly habit wrote: meh that's what i use the offtopic boards for

Re: Whys everything on here so technical
i can say things i draw influence from, but not pinpoint it for certain tunes and such or too production in general and hell i'd say that just in those topics you listed alone are more offtopic discussion than having place on this side of the forumJFK wrote:You find it hard to describe what inspires you?

Re: Whys everything on here so technical
i mean honestly would you rather read a technical post or one about me going for a walk listening to say chopin , looking at cars passing by and hearing pads in my head that aren't part of the original piece or having a synesthesic momentJFK wrote:Ahhhh, okay.

Re: Whys everything on here so technical
everything on here is so technical because it's the production forum..?

Re: Whys everything on here so technical
i was answering the question asked in the title
Re: Whys everything on here so technical
I guess the individual inspirations that lie behind making music are so subjective that discussing the techniques used to implement it's creation is something everyone can relate to without having to share their life story in words on a forum.

Re: Whys everything on here so technical
I have to agree with Abz about it not seeming technical enough around here... Really, I would do backflips to find some truely technical conversations going on on this forum, its so hard to come here and have to sort through all the stupid, philosophical, circular discussion that doesnt help anyone to find a bit of production conversation... And its not even the fact of the philosophical questions, but that its the SAME philosophical questions EVERY day from the SAME people. "What inspires you" "What motivates you too keep producing" is all anyone seems to talk about here, they grow to 20 pages of replies, and then the same people remake the thread.
Cases in point... same people... same thread.
