by Guest Helper ET- 39 replies

i am bloody outraged. i suppose im not completely surprised, they always somehow find a new low. i just found out about this word on the streets, is that many modern vinyls are pressed using the cd masters! the digital master! now im not a vinyl expert, but im pretty sure albums are supposed to be specially mastered to be pressed on vinyl. so using a master from a cd, is kind of like, wtf dude...not cool vinyl freaks: please dont come in here and spout off your elite knowledge of vinyl records for 17 paragraphs. simply express your outrage this is bullshit right here im writing a fucking letter or something

Through the power of syncing my brain has been reminded of a long lost track I found as a small boy adventuring into electronic music... As far as track name details, all I remember is the artist first name John and the word Odyssey, however I believe odyssey may be my mind fucking with me because any combination of the words "john" "odyssey" and anything else I can possibly think of yield completely irrelevant results in all the search engines I've tried As far as sounds I can give you but two examples. The synth as well as the riff that arrives at about 1:45 in Delphium off Saw 85-92 seems to be an almost exact duplication of a riff in the track I'm thinking…

arguing this because somehow it all creates a Christmas-y atmosphere. Even the ones I hate somehow it reminds me of the holidays. I guess you could argue like church music sounds HOLY but some I don't really think sounds holy just like warm milk and cookies feeling I dunno. How does one even do this with certain sequences of notes (might be a loaded question like by the same token how does some music sound holy/patriotic [except I don't feel this I just sort of agree with it but Christmas music it's fucking subconscious]) also someone experiment by exposing some Christmas-obsessed freaky person to Eno/musician of your choice also sort of merging two threads together b…

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wh5gG_NUWTg MJ wrote lyrics to Yellow Magic Orcestra's Behind the Mask. It was supposed to be on Thriller but they dropped it when they decided to make Thriller a single LP. MJs keyboard player Greg Philliganes recorded it with MJ's vocal melody and lyrics. The actual MJ version is going to be on the "new" album. Michael Jackson and YMO!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHz1P6NGMCw

In the last few weeks I've been going back and re-purchasing a lot of my favorite DJ'ing tunes in .wav format. When re-acquiring my Eskmo collection, I stumbled upon a new Eskmo remix of a Spor tune. Excited about the prospect of a delicious new Eskmo tune, I purchased it after giving a brief listen on the site's shitty lo-fi audio player. Listening to the tune today, I noticed it sounded fuzzy every time there was a bassline note or a sub bass hit. I opened it up in a wave editor to see this: Fucking outrageous. The audio is in the red for about 95% of the entire song. There's a lot of brickwall mastering these days where people put a limiter RIGHT before …

...but does anyone here have any direct evidence for Kraftwerk REGULARLY using classical music as a direct source of influence? By direct I mean to the point of using it within their own music. And by REGULARLY I mean more often than these two examples: I heard this one of Tour De France here and was quite suprised. However, we were given this movement by Haydn to listen to as an assignment in one of our music modules and I instantly thought of Showroom Dummies when I heard those first few notes. I know that second one is quite a simple motif, and could quite easily be replicated by Kraftwerk's own compositional skills, but has anyone heard whether they direct…

i've been really getting into trying to make electronic music sound more 'natural' lately, i haven't heard much else that is like that, except for 70s electronic stuff where it was unavoidable due to technology limitations. is there much in the way of electronic music that exploits the cloudy, lofi sound of having too many effects in a chain, while still retaining melodic sensibilities? if so, post some! example: http://pselodux.bandcamp.com/track/ntiner

I've been ripping and downloading music for 10+ years now. I have 200+ gigs. I keep a "work" folder for tracks that don't have proper ID3 tags or album art ect.. After I fix them I move them to a "burn" folder. Once that folder reaches 4.5 gigs, I burn it to DVD for backup and move the Mp3s to my library. I was interested in buying a blu-ray burner, but external hard drives are cheaper than blank blu-rays. I'm thinking of buying another external just for backup. How do you backup your music?

do you ever look back at what you used to listen to and fear that you have followed the thread of association too far down the rabbit hole? and that you may have strayed to far? and have a desire to listen to the core music that sits in the centre of your spiderweb? just wondering.
