  1. I just re-installed the demo and am getting back into it. Last time I installed it I didn't really go deeper than what I had remembered from the early 2000s. It's pretty nice so far. Gonna muck about with the piano roll and event automation to see how well I get on with that.
  2. CicadAe is really nice, bass sounds really fat. Was that just in Fruityloops or did you have some outboard synth you used with it? Nice tune. I started off with Fruityloops around 1999. It was the only music software I knew at the time (was only about 13 years old). I wanted to make some jungle so I used that. I haven't used it since around 2004 when I switched to Renoise. I learned how to sequence breakbeats on the step sequencer since it didn't have the Piano Roll when I first started using it. Used to have to double the tempo to get enough ticks for notes. Would put a chopped up section of a break on an individual track and set it to have the same "cut" channel as the other break track snippets coupled with an empty file that I could use to stop the tracks when needed. Had no idea how jungle or any music was actually made so I just had to figure it out on my own and be creative. I loaded up FL Studio a couple years ago and felt joy for that little step sequencer and that not much has changed about it. Being able to easily input pitch, filter, and volume edits for drums was awesome. Here's a little clip of one of the last things I did in Fruityloops, think it was 2002 or 2003. I slowed it down a little bit since it was 190+ bpm at the time. revolution.mp3
  3. Just loaded up Synth1 after a long long time and this plugin is still magic.
  4. I bet that you can do that with Composers Desktop Project. There's a lot of stuff in there to change harmonics and ways to extrapolate information from sound sources to further manipulate files.
  5. 2:36 on End e2 is so fucking good. I don't know even know how the rest of the tune goes 'cause I keep rewinding that bit.
  6. Since I'm not on Facebook and I don't really know what the hell is going on in this thread, can someone tell me if there's any new Soundmurderer & SK-1 tunes on this label? I see everyone mentioning Todd, so I assume he's posting in this thread. I need some damn mp3s or something.

  8. Reaktor comes into play on Do You Know Squarepusher? and carries on in into the rest of his work. Go Plastic was before that.
  9. That's basically the area I'm living in. Not too far from Harpers Ferry, but in Maryland. It's definitely a beautiful area.

  11. I think i posted this in another thread.
  12. The large spans are the new Sunshine Skyway, the "old" bridge was the original Skyway, which was the site of a horrific accident in the 80s, a boat basically destroyed it and I believe several cars fell in and people died. This bridge has been the site of suffering for years, it even has suicide phones on it. That's the same bridge you can see in the movie Spring Breakers. Two groups of DJs (Jungle Bastard, Stateside Collective) used to throw raves right near that bridge on full moons. Right before you get on the bridge there's a restroom area and a spot for campers that they used to setup at. Those were the first raves I ever attended. Cops shut them down so often that I think everyone just stopped bothering. Was a lot of fun though. People just don't give a fuck down there. Also, there are so many fucking drugs and very little to do, so kids usually just end up getting fucked up all the time, which leads to a lot of young adults with addiction problems. OxyContin was bad, but meth now seems to be favorite drug since pill prices have risen so much, which will only make things worse. Just watch Bully and Spring Breakers 'cause they're not very far off from reality down there.
  13. That's straight out his S-950. Dwarde is a bad mother fucker. I've done a couple tracks with him. Here's a lesser known jungle track that I think needs to be heard my more people. It's absolutely brilliant.
  14. 1 hour 2 mins is SL2 - DJs Take Control 1 hour 5 mins is Dillinja & Batmix - Tear Off Ya Chest
  15. That's an unreleased Remarc remix of Marvellous Cain - The Hitman. This is probably the most popular released mix of that track.
  16. actually there is, when working with MIDI automation the Eventides (at least most of them) are fairly low tech, try automating more than 3-4 parameters at once and things start to become very fucked, the machine can't keep up with the values. These machines while they do produce amazing sounding quality of effects, aren't as magical as you guys are making them out to be. You cannot stich together hundreds of tiny automated effects bursts and start them on cue with midi automation alone, had to have been eventually put together in a wave editor. If he used a hardware sampler to stich them together it would be an extremely time consuming and counterproductive act, in other words it would make no sense even for someone as hardware centric as Squarepusher I wasn't aware of midi problems/limitations with the Eventides, so I can't disagree with you about that. You probably know more about this than I do, but wouldn't the granular shit only need two automated functions for most of the stuff on Go Plastic? Something like the cycle length and on/off. The drums are triggered from the S6000 and sequenced in the normal jungle fashion while being sent through the Eventide for processing which is automated through the QY700. Then you're recording entire tracks instead of short bursts. He's been doing a similar thing live since the album came out, though he's usually sending the entire track through. This is the sort of thing I'm talking about. About 2:10 in.
