I wanted to do this recording justice, and so I have made every effort to do it in the style of my hero, The DJ AFX Twin. I also wanted to do better than JivverDicker and impress DJ Hardcode besides. Considering the challenge, I realized I needed a hardware edge. Tape Op says "Valves" are IDM, so I grabbed my PreSonus BlueTube off the shelf. It had lots of dust on it... but that's cool -- I swabbed it down. Less cool was that I was unable to find the manufacturer-supplied power supply. While the BlueTube requested 18vAC, I found it seemed to work alright off the 12vAC supply from a long-dead M-Audio somethingorother I found in my bin of mateless power bricks. Not sure what the loss of that 6vAC does to the sound... But, yeah -- "valves," check. I considered listening to it before doing anything, but then I realized you cannot plan being an IDM God. So, I just went. I pressed play and fiddled with valves. Sometimes I turned EQ knobs; sometimes I dropped in judicious blasts of aux fx like a dub master. I also some volume flubs for myself to clumsily correct later (visually, from the waveform thumbnail, no listening allowed!!), in order to make sure everyone knows that this is a motherfucking official aphex live fan record dub master thing. Since I like DJ hardcode, I gave him numerous shout-outs with my Electrix Warp Factory. It is a machine designed to do DJ audio watermarks (Does anyone want to buy it? I am broke and quitting music. $376+ship obo). Finally, In order to stay true to the AFX Acid ethos, I also did the following as it dubbed: 1. Got a cup of coffee 2. Took a shit 3. Surfed the internet 4. Wrote this post 5. Cleaned my drugs paraphenalia 6. Had a wank to the giant oil painting of Aphex on my wall 7. Shaved my ponytail Aphex Twin, you have taught me well. Goodbye XLT |

The pseudo stereo phase vst you used to make it sound more 'stereo' is weak. I could lecture you on your mistakes but I don't think you'd take them on-board. In reality, you have uploaded a flac with a stereo phase effect on my effort. I don't enjoy this but be honest next time. |

well, i used a compressor vst as well on the final recording. that's all other than what i said. remember when you didn't believe me about the tape recorder and i put up a picture of it next to my bomb-ass type rm503 and you still didn't fucking believe me? go google my shit and find the pics of the presonus bluetube; i'm not doing another picture for your ungrateful arse |

and yes, everything was live and unedited (except for the blind volume envelopes as described). just the fucking aux sends with my mixer's builtin dsp crap and an electricx warp factory (for sale!!) and my stupid ass drinking coffee and giggling at what horrid shite this whole set is and having fun making it less shit. FOR YOU. but i get no respekqt |

"and my stupid ass drinking coffee and giggling at what horrid shite this whole set is and having fun making it less shit. FOR YOU. but i get no respekqt" its funny how you have confused the set and the recording of the set in order to delude yourself your better than RDJ. |

i said the set was shit, i didn't say i was better than rdj. he could do a killer set if he did more than toss it together on the taxi ride over. or maybe it was good, and i just missed it in all the sound of punters going "do you feel that pill yet?" "no" "well it's been a half hour" i guess you guys are just so up rdj's arse that you love the shit out of a recording so noisy you can barely tell when he bitcrushes his way into another track from 2003 |

anyone remember the snowbombing set? 'twas the first time i heard synthacon 9. i had a feeling it was a new track since the recording cheekily lost the left channel for just that one track. that was a good set. this is not. |

"i said the set was shit, i didn't say i was better than rdj. he could do a killer set if he did more than toss it together on the taxi ride over." You said you made it less shit, so you are claiming your better, also you would have a hard job getting a taxi to Glastonbury festival! Why are you constantly slagging off Aphex but yet you are always posting in threads about him, I know a good online psychologist if yo need one. There are many artists I don't like, I cant imagine why I'd want to post in threads about them, does it make you feel more powerful or something? Reminds me of mates who say gorgeous models are ugly, when you know if said model was to approach them they would be literally drooling..and their voice would not work when they tried to say something. |

of course it's going to be a shit set, everyone knows that aphex twin always takes the piss when he has to play huse mainstream, sold out venues to throngs of hipsters. look at what he did at coachella, a bunch of fucking public enema and some DnB by Dylan. |

Whats your music like, do you think it's better than Dylan,Facs and Public Enemy put together or just better than anyone of those, please share if it is? That Dylan link is a poor choice imo, Try these, this one's ace bowel destroying sub bass on a big rig, boring on laptop speak ears https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxLEw2jTO6w https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdC5iwx12Do |

Makes me realize xlt could use another "good drum n bass", for old school shit. I can't believe how bad new drum n bass is..... Or is it really not bad? Some forward thinking dnb around, but there's for some reason a lot of bad dnb using that same fucking snare sound + over-compression. Fucking travesty of genre. |

smooth jazz is even worse. those guys always use the same presets. |

i'm pretty sure kenny g has been using the same Fairlight CMI patch since the 80s, but i don't have any hard evidence to support this claim |

This made me imagine Kenny G rocking hard on whatever sax of the week- on from wherever coke of the week- to some breakdance track he wrote that constantly uses orch5. I guess Afrika Bambaataa + Kenny G + coke = some sort of legitimate hardcore shit. |

it was actually meant to be an extremely subtle luke vibert joke |

hey epic, wondered what you thought when you see or read posts by other people consistently trying overly hard to be clever and funny? What do you think about those types of people? |
||||||||
|
|

i dunno, what do you think of people who show off their nagra on internet message boards? |
||||||||

JivverDicker from my house on 2003-10-07 22:51 [#00893698] Points: 12050 Status: Addict In the UK Cell phone/ring tones outsold 'singles sales. At the moment, some major record companies are encouraging people to compose ring tones as opposed to 60 minute albums. Is this good if you have to use a GM pallete to force creativity or....do you need to wait for sample based tunes..... or would you prefer to download an idea..........or would you prefer to buy a track? |
