[Sharmaji]

thumbs up for skrillex's endless positivity and fwd thoughts about the music.

not a fan of his sound but i'd much rather see more discussion about that stuff, rather than the navel-gazing aspects of production.

who said anything about acapellas? what made you post about them in the first place? i thought it was a metaphor, and that you were trying to do the good ol' "wah wah stop discussing other producer's methods because it's not art" shit.
but now you're just confusing me. i mean, even more than you did in the first place.

Yeah when I get home about 12 am (UTC -7) I can upload one

thanks man

When you automate these formants what do you make them do? like should they all together or is it really random? Unless he makes a chain in ableton set to specific frequencies. With neuro funk producers is it really random their automations? or do things kind of sway together.

[Discern]

anyone else notice that he said burial isnt really dubstep

[wormcode]

Yeah I laughed hard at that.
They need to fire that editor too haha (or hire one).

I don't understand this obsession at all though. Now there's people spamming threads about his noises on the NI support site.

ok well i tried the notch filter technique for a neurofunk thing like you guys were talking about and was wondering if this is it?

[Autism]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-
... now I need to read up on FM8. That synth makes me confused... xD

[Insahn]

It's not terribly confusing, look up Trifonic's FM Synthesis 101 tutorials for a start.

Has anyone had any luck creating movement/vowel sounds with these FM8 growls without using an external filter? I can't get Ahh out of it, and that's about it. Any ideas? I know the envelopes play a role in this, but I'm not sure to what extent.

If I had to guess, he's probably just using a rack in ableton, and automating between different vowel chains.

thats cool bro. just sayin if you already have sytrus, you could save a buck and use it instead of buying fm8.

This x100000

I don't know why people make this dude out to be some kind of villain.
I think his biggest problem is everyone trying to categorize his music. I'm sure a lot less people would be pissed off if he didn't consider some of his stuff "dubstep".
That's not to say that more people would enjoy it. I just think it would be easier for some of us to say "I listen to dubstep" without having to worry about the stampede of brostep-related questions that usually follow.

I'm just finding the interface hard to work with, to me it doesn't make sense, but then i haven't been working with it so much. Thanks for the tip brah!
