Get off MY lawn. Except FSTZ, he is old enough to tell me to get off HIS lawn

I had the ASRX that looks like this...



The effects and resampling and all that was the shit but I remember the sequencer being crap. Notes would always mysteriously drop out.

And the original electribe as far as I know. Just had one voice, maybe two? I got rid of all that shit in like 2001 when I started using Reason. Old Fiziks up there remixed my first reason tune. So you know he has been around.

becasue i heard caspa and rusko aint been making dubstep for that long



10 years and no release think ill just give up

if you're writing music for the sole purpose of getting a commercial release then you're in it for the completely wrong reason imo

I probably made beats for 10 year before I got a release. A lot of people do get worse over time or maybe your taste becomes irrelevant I don't know but I think I am still improving after all these years. Maybe even the problem sometimes is after you get older you have build up so many prejudices over stupid cliche's that you just end up writing boring shit. At the end of the day you just have to enjoy it. I mean if I never had another release I might be disappointed but I would still make tunes cuz it's fun!

yeah totally agree i like listening to any type of dubstep and make some werid stuff aswell its all music but then sometimes i see my self analyzing it abit to much

Weird stuff does not sell to be totally honest. Not to say there aren't people that would enjoy it but you may have to give a lot away for free.

I have releases and a label even but it is still a hobby for me. It is nice to have something to show for all the time spent tho no doubt.

Maybe when I'm 95 or so I'll turn my attention to it. For the meantime, I'll be in leftfield with dandelions in my hair, haphazardly dodging the late afternoon sprinklers.

Word. One day, I'll have a go at pop... it takes precision to make something club/girl/radio friendly.... I'd die a happy man if I had something like Crazy In Love under my belt.

Good pop is underrated and overplayed.

I worked it out the other day and its coming up for 3 years around July time.

i started playing in bands 13 years ago, first as a Bassist, then moved onto key's.
at the same time i started to get a intresst for electronic music and began toying whit fastracker.
got the first version of fruity after that.

its been something ive been having fun whit on this side, not so serious as i was to bussy whit the bands,
started digging into it more seriously last year as i retired from the band.
and since i discovered dubstep wich has sparked my intresst in audio engineering,
finnaly starting to learn how to do propper mixing,,

I've been producing since January '09. Been playing the piano for 18 years and the guitar and bass guitar for 14 years. I teach guitar lessons at a music studio part time. This world is all very new to me. Not the tunes, I started with Autechre, Squarepusher, Aphex Twin and jump up jungle 1997, just the making the tunes. All the engineering work is so alien to me, and VERY difficult!!

Truth.

My current bread & butter of music.

I myself was messing around with various software for about 3 years, before moving onto Acid Pro, and finally Logic when I got a Mac last year. I've only been taking music production seriously in the last year though.

8 years.

I started like early August/late July 08 with tracks that'll make u cry, hate u, die, stop frontin', u ain't got no dough, while cats watch me I got cats who watch po po. >=|

I just started 2 days ago and its hard understanding stuff, especially all the technical lingo, found some sweet tutorials on here that have helped. Im still trying to understand synths and such. its hard but fun
