  1. and you've made... how many?... finished songs in there?

     

     

    not to be a dick... but i think that question could be relevant for all the posters with the 'best' studio set-ups.

     

    i would love to hear the top 3 tracks from those who think their kit pwns everyone else's.

    i don't think my gear 'pwns' much of the stuff on show here but here you go anyway:

     

    Dissolved States

    Mountains of the Moon

    Let's Take This Dinosaur

     

    these weren't recorded on my current setup, i haven't settled in to it enough to have any full tracks (i only put it all together on the weekend), but i'm working on some!

  2. behringer pedals are ok, a bit noisy, and my chorus pedal emits random pops and clicks every now and then, but other than that, they're pretty good. the rv600 reverb is freakin' great.

     

    i also have a behringer virtualizer pro, the reverb on that is almost as good as a quadraverb. the vocoder is pretty great too.

    lol

     

    you guys have so much equipment, its nuts, ekt should be putting out some fucking jams

     

    but it isnt

    i'm keeping mine to myself, i'm working on an album damnit, i want the whole thing to be heard as a whole.

  4. a device that interferes with guitar pickups

     

    you mean a tv remote?

     

    nope, it's a little e-bow style box that 'transmits' a sawtooth wave to the guitar pickups. with a knob to control pitch, and a high pitch/low pitch/off switch.

     

    EBows dont make sawtooths?

     

    Dont they use a sort of magnetic field type thing?

     

    no, they don't, hence why i said "e-bow style" - meaning it's small and you hold it over the pickups.

    but this device actually contains an oscillator, and instead of generating feedback via a magnetic coil or whatever (like on an e-bow), it generates a sawtooth wave that gets output through a coil (i guess? heh i dunno how it works), and into the pickups.

  5. you guys have some fancy studios, everyone repost their pics and link to some samples of stuff youve made in them

     

    you'll get to hear what my 'studio' is capable of when the rooftop access album is done. which should be soon, hopefully.

  6. a device that interferes with guitar pickups

    nope, it's a little e-bow style box that 'transmits' a sawtooth wave to the guitar pickups. with a knob to control pitch, and a high pitch/low pitch/off switch.

  7. Nice but what are all those wood things with the thin strips of metal stretched across them for?

     

    zole well what can i say, i'm more of a guitar person than a bleep box person. though i have been thinking of buying an old sampler to use with the drum kit.

  8. alright guise, i've moved interstate since my last pic, so here's my current setup (still in progress, have to connect most things up). i even labeled everything, how convenient!

    not pictured are my guitar effects, which are as such:

    generic wah pedal

    behringer dd100 digital delay (great for gantz graf style glitching)

    daphon phaser

    daphon analog delay

    dod death metal distortion

    homemade big muff

    zoom 505 multi-effects

    homemade noise boxes (a noise generator plus a device that interferes with guitar pickups)

    e-bow

     

    and also a melodica and glockenspiel, and a couple of microphones.

     

    .. so basically i now have enough equipment to record a 'rock band'. zole!

  9. "The Plc" and "WNSN" still don't make sense for me so far... The rest is really good, though.

     

     

    actually i thought wnsn was one of the most straightforward tracks on the album!

     

    also, fol3 is great, it's nice to hear autechre finally put a noise track on an album. though i'm definitely hearing patterns in it.

  10. interesting. i guess i'm just glad that autechre are releasing some new stuff. and as much as i like to listen to their albums all the way through, it's not essential - it's not as though they are concept albums or anything. i won't mind if this is just a collection of tracks as you say. what i've heard so far is pretty nice, and i've decided i'm not going to listen again until the album is actually released, or if warp puts a song on the front page.

     

    i'm drinking

  11. How come the promos haven't leak yet.... This is the same for Clark's new LP... And it was the same with Burial's Untrue... It seems like internet is is more leakproof than before...

     

    (Don't start the debate about "how come people want it to leak 2 months in advance and stuff, I love music, and especially autechre's, and I support the artist I like by buying there music on vinyl and on bleep, and going to there concerts... It's just that I'm impatient for great music to come out, and I like to draw listening to great new stuff...)

     

    So, where are they ? (For the Clark LP, I guess I just have to wait one more week and look in my mailbox)

     

    Digital watermarking - as far as I can tell - is really good, covering situations such as digital to analogue conversions (I really thought there would be an easy way around it). It's a solid system for the labels - journos are rightly anxious about being named as the cause of a leak).

    So you can't play your copy with a pc and then record the audio directly from the soundcard with software, without these watermarking being transferred onto the recorded file?

     

    Someone should hack this damn system.

     

    the digital watermarking is most likely actually in the waves of the songs themselves - not matter how much you re-record, transcode, etc, it will still be present (no matter how inaudible) in the recording. it's not like copy protection, there is no way around it.

  12. i cant believe so many people are willing to listen to leaks on MP3. what has happened to just waiting and then buying. crazy, pretty much every forum talking about it people are saying "why hasnt it leaked yet" meaning "why cant i rob it for free before its released".

     

    i know there are loads of ways to justify it to yourself and im sure people do everytime they rob it from P2p networks and stuff, but you know its coming out, you know when and you know where to buy it, hand on it'll be yours for a reasonable sum in less than 8 weeks

     

    yes but "we" want to hear it NOW. the purchasing can be done later.

     

    i'm definitely buying it on cd/vinyl as opposed to bleep but if it's leaked first i'll listen to the leak. i did the same with untilted and it definitely enhanced my listening experience when i actually bought the cd and got the chance to hear it in a lossless format.
