When I try and produce, why is it that I feel as if I am attempting to win the affection of a diseased crack whore streetwalker with expensive gifts and fine jewlery |

You feel that way, perhaps it is because you are attempting to win the affection of a diseased crack whore streetwalker with expensive gifts and fine jewelry. |

Aren't you meant to be pleasing yourself? |

No idea. |

the total control that is the good side and bad side of it leaves you burning ever closer toward the pathetic, simple, and stupid center of yourself |

i feel the community itself is largely to blame, seeming to prefer internal competition over innovation. most of the new technology has already been seen through to its potential, and i feel like most of the "innovation" these days is not actually such, just the result of re-hashing jealously-guarded gems from decades ago. hello acid, hello italo, hello everything. if it's obscure enough, it feels new. then the next step is to be a bitter old alcoholic, but disguise this by being "cool" and always "wearing sunglasses." this activates patterns of social abuse that got laid in during junior high: only cool people are allowed to be abusive, so if they're abusing you, they must be cooler than you. so, end result, bunch of jerks treating each other like shit and trying to out crate-dive each other, soundcloud groups become jealous cliques that are the artistic equivalent of marvin the paranoid photocopier. solution: quit xlt, quit watmm, quit the internet, and remember why (i hope) you started this shit on the first place: because, once you disconnect it from all this misery, it's a hell of a lot of fun. it can make getting out of bed worth it, even on the worst days. a pity it's become such a shitfest. |

this is not about spam. i'll be a dick myself, i admit, but i feel that's also just the attitude i'm used to carrying on this corner of the web. it's not a problem until you catch yourself being a dick for no reason. like, i was giving that joe litrenta guy shit because he was spewing loads of it, and it was lazy shite. some guy's acid track, though, whatever -- no reason to be nasty there, right? instead, you have the bitter miserable drunks like ddrummondd duking it out with some guy that types like he took too much E without a helmet. HOSTILE ACID ENVIRONMENT, man. lurking is fun, get to watch them chew on each other instead of me. |

at first i wanted to offer something helpful about making music, but then i realized you were saying your music is fine jewelry and forum members are diseased whores. either way just get off the laptop and on to a new piece of gear, even if just a control surface and it will help. i might get an akai rhythm wolf, and believe it or not i might be as interested in m-audio's trigger finger as maschine mikro, but the point is having soft or standalone sequencing options. |

sounds like good advice, I quite fancy getting something next month. rhythm wolf looks fun, is there anything else you'd recommend? |

my buddy just got Korg's volca beats and bass, for the price they are nice little units. Roland's Aira series looks nice, recreations of their classic lines like the TR-8 and TB-3. My buddy is pretty sure he wants to get an Octatrack, but that is an investment there. Can't wait to chain it to my Q if he does though. Gotherman's Little Deformer was something I was looking at too. |

Right now I'd be happy just to finish paying off my debt from having to suddenly buy a car and move. I feel like an idiot really, I've easily put $20k into this electro-bullshit over the last ten years and I've gotten exactly $0 back out. Something something get a fuckin' job... just because this stuff is personally and emotionally valuable to me does not mean it's financially worth a shit to anyone else, it's admittedly been a bit hard on my ego. Then on top of that, it's just a very cuntish atmosphere in general. I would honestly be happy never making a dime as long as taking the time to do music didn't in turn put me in dire financial straights, and I could even take the debt if I felt like people appreciated it. Instead, last album I posted just got some vague insults, then a few weeks later the modular I spent over a hundred hours working on shorted out, and fuck you, I don't have another 30 hours to fix this, I have fucking debt. So forgive me if I'm a bit sour at the moment, and have jettisoned shit like XLT to keep myself sane. |

You sound like an idiot for complaining so much. Your perspective is up your arse. But it's really sounding like you enjoy it so there's nothin anybody can say to placate that. I thought you were a bit smarter than that. Have a hang sangwich and relax |

Shrug. I never really did explain myself on the way out, and with this thread I was like, well, out with it then. I'm not really even sure why I care to explain myself. I guess it's just self-indulgence, really, but more bordering on some needed catharsis. I don't want donations or anything like that; I'm sure I'd get a bit but unless it pays rent I'd rather save that goodwill for something more useful. I suppose it'd be nice if I could get some actual paying work in music, but, well, I know things are tough all over and all that. I've unplugged all the gear and focused on work; things ARE getting taken care of but I feel incredibly foul and sour about it. Thank you therapist xlt. This should go brilliantly into Ms. Monoid's PhD Thesis on Nerd Shit. |

I gave up on any idea of having a career making music, and to be honest I make more honest stuff and enjoy it a lot more because of it. There are really, really good producers who have a thousand or two followers on soundcloud and even they have day jobs. I put money into it now for the same reason I'd by any collectible. If you have a large collection of gear you do have something that a lot of producers don't though, who maybe only have their laptop, an ipad or control surface, etc. We have pieces of gear that no other machine sounds just like on their own, not to mention used modularly. Sample packs could be a way to make some money off of it and still keep it and even buy more. Something I've thought about myself. |

The career thing wasn't bothering me at all until I found myself without enough free time to fix my gear, then later, to do any music at all. In the middle of that my modular sharted out, which felt like a cosmic fuck-you from the gods, to be honest. I've had a few pieces of gear break, but not like that. Whatever, put them on the shelf until I get some more time, ya? The modular was just rather central and symbolic, something that was entirely mine, but now it's busted, and I don't have time to fix it, at which point it starts getting like "well no one gives a shit anyways." There are things I could do like make a sample library or a VST, yes, but those also require significant amounts of free time to do properly -- like music. They're not even guaranteed to make me anything, unlike my boring-but-sufficient day job. |

If you had spent half of the time that you have spent on here, moaning and crying, did something more productive, you would be in a much better position you smelly little div! |

You're absolutely right, which is why I've essentially banned myself from everything but the slow-as-snails ROY forum. In harder times the nature of this place is too much for me, but around summer 2012 I was having a shitload of fun here. |

Here's an idea: Hire me to fix this board. All the broken shit. Believe it or not, it's actually about what I do for a living anyways. But then, either it's not bullshit and phobiazero is spazzy and unreliable, or it is bullshit and doing something like hiring me to fix this shit would ruin the charade. I figure no dice either way. But I'll leave it on the table at least. |

with a capital H so it's more important, Here's another idea. i am beginning to pity you like i did 7-8 yrs ago. fact: youre a sociopath, or at very least a narcissist. no fucker cares about you or your shit life. if youre going to leave a messageboard pls leave this one. and take drill cunts with you. |

That's not all true. Epic's feeling like shit and so obviously is thinking about himself too much, the two go hand in hand. Some people here do care though so you can stick that up your arse |

ddrruummoonndd -- maybe i could reciprocate that vague admission of giving a fuck if i had any idea who you are. instead, you are some anonymous cunt on a message board, acting as if you've given me some reason to respect you. haft -- yeah that. thx wavephase -- i banned you because you are fucking annoying rdj -- |
