I'm fairly new to the electronic music world. I love to write electronic music, however I often have trouble starting on a track. Have you guys got any tips that could help me start off?

Thanks a lot,

Anyway, I play most acid/breaks kind of music, and I think I'm getting to the point where I would like to try my hand out in clubs and the like. The problem is that most clubs around where I live (southern US) play mostly hiphop (rare, but there) or "indie"/80s (majority). Just looking to see if anyone on here has had this problem, and what have they done to attempt to solve this.

Idk, I'm rambling a little, but I look at places such as Austin, L.A., Dallas, Memphis, and there is a strong electronic sound in these cities...is moving my only step to fixing this? lolzzzzzz :rdjgrin:

edit: there may be one club/live music place nearby that would
possibly go for this type of music, as people like Prefuse, Jem, and Dr. Octagon have all gone there before...idk /ramble]]> Wed, 10 Mar 2010 08:28:49 +0000 http://forum.watmm.com/topic/54168-a-dilemma/ multiple-instance glitch in renoise http://forum.watmm.com/topic/54150-multiple-instance-glitch-in-renoise/ i would really like to be able to compose with multiple voices from imposcar; do i need to just sample or can i fix this?]]> Tue, 09 Mar 2010 22:33:54 +0000 http://forum.watmm.com/topic/54150-multiple-instance-glitch-in-renoise/ What to do with all these tunes? http://forum.watmm.com/topic/54132-what-to-do-with-all-these-tunes/
I'd like to have the music located somewhere (probably a .com) that it is discoverable beyond soundcloud/myspace, and packaged up into individual releases. As well as sending out to radio stations and DJs, I would then do some light, non-spammy promotion around forums and my facebook network etc to announce each new release/mix/video/whatever. I'd like to keep it low key, this music is meant to be underground after all. Most of all I'd like to get some of our material out to real music listeners, not just other producers on forums and so on. I'm very aware of treading the fine line between shoving stuff in people's faces (not good), and being practically invisible (as now, also not ideal).

I'm a bit of a long time lurker/sniper around here, so posting a thread is unusual for me. I'd really like some advice from any of you who've done something similar, or who have come to the same situation and perhaps done something different? I know some of you have done this sort of thing already, so how did it go, how is it going?

Uh, anyway--
1. Complete compliment of 4 fully-charged "C" batteries. Nowt
2. 4 different 9 V DC output adapters (seems weird, I accumulate these things like velcro), no dice.

The one symptom is a an ever-so-faint LED activation of the "I" part of the "Pattern Group" section. Am I "underjuicing" it or am I on another level of fucked? Thanks all.

company is completely automated and web based. you dl their software and design CD yourself and once you pay money the machines take over and you get your CDs shrink wrapped in the mail w/ bar code ready for sale, presumably. all units are $1.75 and there were no minimums. company name was Konuri or Koyuki..something like that.

help

i have a book somewhere and it had a short 2 page article on aphex twin. At the time he listed recycle as his favorite software...which makes me question, was he also using reason ? how does that work? (recycle without reason. I assume just for making a perfect loop.......... but what about making drill with recycle ?

so i'd like to hear from recycle users about their experience and maybe how to make some sick beats, tips and tricks . thanks you .
