I got a message on myspace inviting me to this: http://www.emergenza.net/document/book/iscri.asp If in fact it IS real, they would help set up a live show for Earvalve at the local venue. If it's fake, I probably get a whole bunch of shit charged to my name that I didn't buy. Reasons I'm skeptical: 1) I only have one song on myspace and I never really actively participate in the myspace community. 2) I'm skeptical of everything on the internet that wants my name & phone number. Is this thing real?

i just bought a years worth of hosting and a domain from dreamhost for about $13AUD (which is a very, very good price in my opinion) i'm going to host my music on it once i get dreamweaver learnt and sorted, only i cannot think of a design for it! so, what do you guys think would be best for a music webpage? a simple site with nothing but text links? massive flash things? a CMS of some sort? i honestly can't decide/don't know so help me out here please the site is http://www.1kbmusic.net - at the moment it has some mp3s on it which you can listen to if you want but i'm not too worried about that (if this doesnt belong in EKT feel free to move it)

Two States - Independent Debut Album Release
by Guest walding- 1 reply
- 1k views
My name is Luke Walding and I've just finished my debut record at the end of last year with my collaborator Mark Ludwig. I thought I'd share this with this forum because alot of the artists discussed around here were inspirational for myself when I was programming synths. Long story short is that there is a website up at www.two-states.com where you can download the single free of charge from our site. The remaining tracks will cost $1.50 AUD if you want to grab those. Here is a brief excerpt from our Bio to explain a little further: This original recording has embraced the collaboration, encompassing a hybrid of digital and analogue technologies, marrying an…

ground this!
by Guest monotoo- 5 replies
- 1.2k views
all right, all right. yes i'm new, but i have an important question about grounding a set of turntables. the dj mixer has two grounds on it, one for each table. however, my shanty house IS NOT GROUNDED. well, about 95% of it at least. so! does this mixer still ground on its own? or does it need to be plugged into an outlet that is grounded as well? [also, what are the hazards of not grounding/grounding improperly? i know it can fry your table/s but i'm still curious]-----thanks oh yea, read the rules

I would like to mail out some demos to the corporate bigwigs to pursue my goal of becoming a career musician. This question is basically directed at anyone who's heard my music and knows what labels would publish something of that nature. I don't even know where to begin. Any help is greatly appreciated. No netlabels please, I plan on staying loyal to Retropublik for my net releases. Thanks, Wes

Help With NI Battery Automation
by Guest brokephones- 2 replies
- 1.2k views
I am trying to automate Battery via Digital Performer but have been having little luck. The main problem is that the manual I have for Battery has no mention of how to set up automation on an individual cell level. I want to do something basic such as assign a midi controller knob to the panning of a specific cell. Can someone please explain how to set up automation on the cellular level either when used as a slave to another app or just in standalone mode?

Best way to sequence beats on ableton
by Guest jamesy boy!- 1 reply

How many of you ableton users actually use impulse or whatever the drum machine in live is? When I use Reason to slice and sequence beats, First I would use ReCycle to slice the loop, then load the rx2 patch up into the NN-XT sampler and sequence on that, worked well, but now I really have to move onto live and want to know the best way to cut and sequence beats on ableton.

http://www.buzzle.de/ seeing as the buzz sourcecode is lost forever, this guy is reworking it from the ground up. a (sort of stable) beta release is out now. i had a fool about with it, and fucked with some of the demo songs. only crashed once when i tried to do a pile of things at once (but buzz does that too). it seems pretty cool - more one to watch than one to try and write with at this point though, i guess.
