Finally bit the bullet and bought a copy of Pianoteq Stage, holy shit, wish I'd done it ages ago. Ridiculously gorgeous sounding and I'm between jobs at the minute so have some time on my hands... going to get up tomorrow and play keys all day Can't stress enough how great it sounds, especially after coming from various shit free piano VSTs; like going from a £20 Argos guitar with rusty strings to a Lowden. Only thing is I'm now GASing hard for some weighted keys... All in good time innit Edit: my (admittedly fairly untrained) ear is blown away by Stage, which is the cheap option, I can only imagine what the more expensive versions sound like, fuckinell

Nice, what's it called, and is it any good? Love Berlin-period Bowie (mind you, I think everyone does)

Nope, really must get down though!

That sounds knackering man, hope you get sorted for a new spot asap -
Lol, most IDM 2018 Abba are a huge guilty pleasure of mine; they have some fantastic tunes and some absolutely dire ones. Can't see this being anything other than awful though

Ordered, big up for keeping it real and offline, doing the hard copies -
What TV series are you watching at moment?

Atlanta's wicked although it makes me want to just drive around smoking blunts all day whilst saying the n-word a lot. Tuned in tonight all psyched for the final of University Challenge and realised it was a repeat, fwp incarnate Final's tomorrow though so not long to wait. Makes me feel smart and stupid simultaneously; smart when I get something right and thick as fuck the rest of the time. Always feel slightly biased in favour of non-Oxbridge teams, some kind of reverse snobbery at work, oh well -
I like those clickity clackity buttons; very Roland MC-4

Birds are great, I go walking up the woods with my wise and ageing dad who's been birdwatching since he was a nipper and some of his ornithology vibes have rubbed off on me. Buzzards in abundance in my neck of the woods (literally, ha), occasional peregrines, kestrels, sparrowhawks. Red kites are ten a penny in England but have only seen one once in Ireland, and even then I'm not 100% sure it was one. Saw a kingfisher for the first time about a month ago, a handsome bird indeed. Keep hoping to catch a songthrush when I'm out with the field recorder, they have an amazing repertoire. Nothing like those lyre birds though, bloody hell.

Now That Trump's President... (not any more!)
Leon Sumbitches replied to Nebraska's topic in General Banter
He name dropped Obama as well. My folks do the same thing, talk in circles, change the subject, study delusional theories intensely then conveniently ignore and deflect any substantive facts that undercut their argument. It's gas-lighting and doublespeak to the extreme. It's not even conservative and right-wing ideology that bothers me anymore, it's the absolute disengagement from thinking and discussion. I want to get back to debating politics. I miss being attacked for being liberal because now I'm attacked for believing in facts and seeking knowledge. The same parents who told us we have to go to college now thinks we were "brainwashed" by universities. They don't want think beyond their own narrative. It's the lack of courage and fear of losing this selfish feeling of being "in the know" and perpetually battling some vague, leftist boogeyman. Reality is their biggest fear. The same people who made me feel awful for questioning the government and corporate lobbies during the Iraq War and economic meltdown of the late 00s now lecture me about the "deep state" and talk of fanciful impending civil war between anti-government patriots and globalist elites. Not one gives a shit about the mess the future generation are being left. Trump was a fuck you vote because they were snowflakes who rolled their eyes everytime Obama said anything remotely smug. Now they literally cheer when Trump does things no remotely responsible parent or citizen would allow a child to do. It's fucking incredible and sad. Jesus man, this is sad to read Hope clear heads prevail for you and yours -

Mint, looking forward to it! -
+1 for bass through the Portastudio pres, have never tried the grey one but the 424 MkII sounds great as well, to my ears. Bass straight in, levels quite high, sounds old-school and thoroughly CHUBBED

So is there going to be more Homemade Show episodes or what? Hope there's more where that came from

Reaper is the bomb; my use is distinctly amateurish and I mostly use it for multitracking with very occasional forays into VST synths but it does everything I want it to. I haven't used any other DAW so have nothing to compare it with but I'll be forever grateful to their business model, which let me get started making choons when I was super-skint and couldn't even stretch to a licence.

I actually have nothing but respect for someone who dubs themselves Fractal Tetris Huracan, it's like transmogrifying yourself into a synth or something.
