If you could hook your DAW to a club system--a huge one--that you know is powerful / clean and use that as your monitors--not just to mix, but do the tune from scratch... seriously: sitting on the floor in the middle of an empty club with FL Studio / Logic open, clicking through your samples... LOL what would be the result?

I think it would be mindblowingly fantastic, whether or not the tune was mixed right (which I doubt it would be), because you could immediately hear / feel the results of whatever you did. Playing with bass patches would just be an unbelieveable experience--imagine programing your wobbles live, with bass bins so heavy you couldn't even breathe.

I think the tune you'd write (at least the 1st or 2nd one before you got "over" the novelty) would be 100% NASTY. An anthem--because your vibe would be immeasurable.

ive thought about this so many times lol.....juss wanna skip out the "i wonder how this would sound on a rig" thoughts and actuali do it.

I tryed this on a 4k sound system years ago with a K station and DR 202, was boss but not somthing id try and produce a track with, You would go Deaf Hhaha

Plus i saw a guy at a local night called Noize Tek do some stange synth Filter bend thing of a while lay on the Daylight robbery System, was pure nonsense ..

Thats my 2cents

Would be perfect if you played on just that system for the rest of your life!

Personally, with all the dodgey samples I own... I reckon I'd have a headache before getting even to the creative stage of making a tune haha!

while experimenting wtih bass pitch and shit, you would accidently hit a C1 or something waaaay too low, and kill yourself, lol

Would be cool but I think it'd still be better to do it with monitors for the flat response because then when it goes on a system it'd sound even better...

Haha yeh man, back to my dodgey samples... I have some fucked up shit that would literally kill you if played too loud!

you know, now i think of it. Thats probably a great way to give yourself piles.

Seen plenty of people do this with more "progressive" styles (ambient, techno, psytrance, general electronica etc).... I don't think it really works with styles that rely on bass drops etc.... there's too much planning involved to properly improvise - you'd actually need to prepare quite a bit (or have a very organised library!).....

Only semi related, but I always thought it'd be smart for promoters to have an 'open decks' hour at the start of the night - from 10, say - when anyone who wants to can pass their stuff on CD to the resident and get it played (assuming it doesn't suck completely). It'd be good for scene cohesion, good for the producers who get to hear their stuff on a big system, and good for the promoters as they'd actually get a bunch of people through the doors and buying drinks before 11, and wouldn't lose anything since the club would normally be empty at that point anyway.

THAT'S A FANTASTIC IDEA!
