baph Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 (edited) I'm forcing myself to make a track a day so I can actually learn how to make electronic music. But I'm starting from a place of total ignorance and it's so fucking overwhelming. Don't know how to get a sequencer, or, say, Massive to actually play when opening reaktor as a vsti in Reaper yet :/ Can start with sounds from Metaphysical Function and tweak, tho.

I just fucked about with presets for years until I had messed around with things enough to know what happens when you twist what knobs. Then I went to college for synthesis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candiru Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Just make beats for rappers and get paid in duffel bags full of drug money. Then laugh at Haxan Cloak being ripped off by Jay-Z. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

logakght Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 So I went in my first da... Oh, sorry... Dear Diary: So I went in my first date yesterday. It was really my first date, like, ever, and one I actually wanted (or at least I told her to). It was really okay, nothing special. But, welp, I learned some important shit. I don't really feel nothing special for the girl, I just wanted to do it, since I'm in a life-changing phase for the good at these moments. If she talks to me again, good, if not, good. I did it, and I'm happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcock Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 i quite like vodka. Not neat, but it mixes well with fruit juice. Bloody mary's are phenomonal aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium vodka is huge scam anyways. How? a 20 quid bottle of bodka tastes about 6 times nicer than a 10 quid one. Numerous blind taste tests have shown that people can't tell vodkas apart, which is as you'd expect given that vodka is an odorless, colourless, and flavourless. This holds even more true if you're mixing it in cocktails. The creator of grey goose is on record as saying that the product is just marketing.

hello spiral Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Well, Vodka definitely has a taste. And Green Mark, which isn't particularly expensive but is a good vodka, is smoother going down. Which is why it's nice to sip neat. Never actually tried Grey Goose tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Mughnus Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 (edited) Flavourless as in not flavoured (added flavours) but it definitely has a taste. And I can definitely tell cheap vodka from good vodka! Not sure about the high end stuff (60-80-$100 type of thing) but I can definitely tell a difference between say, Smirnoff (shit) and something like spirytus or wyborowa (good). Polish vodka seems to be the best in general, IMO. Edited April 5, 2015 by StephenG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chenGOD Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Dollars to donuts you can't. Get a friend to set up a blind taste test for you. Edit: Smirnoff often came out on top in blind taste tests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Mughnus Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 (edited) I'm not saying you'd be able to distinguish one brand from another necessarily, just that low quality vodkas have characteristics that make them decidedly less pleasant than others. Unnecessary burn at the back of your throat, and a weird rubbery aftertaste. Just a note, I'm not correlating price to quality all the time. Wyborowa for example is less than $30. But you can definitely tell this $17 bottle of highwood vodka is a $17 bottle of vodka lol. Edit: this is a decent short article on it. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/food-and-wine/wine/if-vodka-is-just-ethanol-is-it-essentially-all-the-same-from-brand-to-brand/article22178962/ The differences in flavour are due to the quality of the raw materials and the distilling process...

hello spiral Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Video I found after I'd bought a bottle of Green Mark because it was cheap and discovered it was a lot smoother/nicer than other vodkas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Mughnus Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 (edited) He should have had Spirytus in the competition! Even at 96% alcohol it goes down smoother than other vodkas. Also it has the lowest highest (whoops) amount of distillate possible in a spirit, meaning less flavourants..

chenGOD Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Go on then, put your money where your mouth is. Set up a blind taste test and video it. True vodka is supposed to be odorless, colourless, and tasteless. As StephenG, taste does come into play because of impurities in the distilling process, so I'll grant you that absolute shite moonshine will have flavour, because it comes from fucked up stills. But to pull a "no true Scotsman" fallacy, I've drank vodka with Russians, and the shit they drink is pure nothing that gets you blind in a hurry.

pcock Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I cant be bothered videoing anything, but i often get handed vodka mixers without being told what it is, and you can tell a glenns, rachmaninoff, or smirnoff, from a stoli, russian standard., belvedere or whatever. i dont doubt the difference between a 20 quid bottle and a 40 quid bottle is negligible, but the cheap stuff tastes completely different, no shadow of a doubt.
