i have been repeatedly refining that 0:50 and beyond, i would say 0:57 is complete complete now, not like before where it was merely complete. mixing in milkytracker is like... typing the same numbers over and over a lot. you might notice some harsh clicks in some of my stuff. took me a while to sort out what was going on there; it turns out it's just some sort of clipping that doesn't quite show up on the VU meter. it was particularly annoying when i'm like... K04? K05? and one sounds better rhythmically, but the other makes a click. so now that i understand this, i'm going back and repeatedly making things quieter, sort of like an animal grooming its fur. but then, the impetus for this track, that ctrix vid, i've never really used AXX before, volume slides. i would just hard-set levels in the volume column. that's what the volume column is there for; why tie up an fx col with it? but, turns out, it doesn't click as much, either. it's probably something to do with it cutting out in the middle of the waveform and effectively generating a DC offset pop. not only does volume slide help with this, but i'm getting some good shit out of it immediately, sort of dj crossfade shuffle. so, yeah, while i might continue fussing with the mix(down) a bit, that's largely sorted, that first 0:57. the next part, i know what i want to do, which is rip off infected mushroom a bit, but knowing me i'll get distracted halfway and it won't actually really wind up sounding like them, and this is perfectly ok. w/rt to buying things, i think furniture is still a good start for now

as i set down the bottle of woodford reserve, i noticed it had a slight bulge. like, if you viewed the bottle, two-dimensionally, from the top, it would not just be a long rectangle: between the two longer sides of the rectangle, and outward curve. if you don't set the bottle down dead-center -- and who does -- then it influences the rippling as the bourbon sloshes back and forth. parabolic expansion and contraction of the width. just a little, but enough to cause standing rhythms as the bourbon bounces back and forth. i feel like i should try this with drums or perhaps rave stabs

i think it goes back to someone telling me it was tacky back when i was a n00b... and, well, yes, it easily can be. but if you use it sparingly to distinguish a spare bit of noise or two, you have more... i dunno.. more.

Sunvox. Available on everything, free and can sequence in really interesting ways. Don't know why you'd buy a hardware tracker tbh.

i started using milkytracker as a joke. the idea was to do napkin sketches: let's do a crappy vsnares song in an hour. now let's rip off foul play's suspected. now afx
with this, though, as with any software i've gotten into heavily, you run through the cheap laughs quickly and then you start going uphill; each thing is more complex than the last. you notice mistakes you've been making and wind up with an ever-growing list of pitfalls to avoid. processes to follow for better results. then a list of things you've done before, we did that before, now we have to do something more complicated
this eventually got me entirely fed up with cubase sx, ableton, whatever. milky is a little different, though, because it's so simple and trashy and i can't get lost in plugins. but, on the other hand, now i find myself getting to volume slides and much more detailed mixing hex; perhaps panning soon, too. i am even thinking about trying to bounce the individual tracks to wav and perhaps mix it in cubase, i dunno, we'll see

anyways, i'm deep down a rabbit hole, here.
behringer lawsuits!
LAZY_TITLE
people were trashing behringer for ripping stuff off, there's a link to the gearslutz thread in which uli behringer posts to himself. eventually, though, he sues for defamation. forums are serious business
sidestepping all the legal and ego salad, there is some discussion about how the behringer model d actually sounds, and why it sounds how it sounds. the production models won't always match the schematics, the components have unique characteristics and tolerances, and some parts aren't made any more. in the end, it comes down to an ear test. apparently, most minimoogs sounded different from one another anyways. so, like, at the end of the day, what have you got? and there are people saying all sorts of shit. like: it sounds nice, it's got that vintage slant, but it doesn't really sound like a moog
for the model d, well, i'm cool with it. i've never used a real minimoog. as long as it sounds good, we're good.
the sh-101, however, is different. i had a real one for years, and if behringer's clone sounds significantly different from the real thing, i want to know

listening to youtube demos of the MS-1(01), the waveforms seem mustard, but the resonant response of the filter is a bit suspect. on the other hand, i could afford the behringer reasonably soon, as opposed to having to shell out 3x as much after months of camping on AH list and ebay and then having to deal with it when it breaks so perhaps it's worth the tradeoff
going back to what i've said earlier in this thread, furniture is a real concern. if i bought this, i'm not sure where i'd put it. spending money on furniture, what a pain. why not just use plastic shelves and sterlite things? but this only gets you so far

yep, that page looks noughties af. i saw some of his experiments and his tape player somewhere on youtube before, but he wasn't really on my radar. i think he mostly works for bigger companies now with his video synth stuff
the module i bought is quite simple and nice. can't wait to put some modular stuff through it. could also be nice as a stroposcopic effect background for some live noodling in the shed, as you can plug it straight to a video projector

i really think i should cave and get an mpc1000 again. i am hearing a p. decent pattern using a bunch of sid samples in my hed. programming it in milky would be arduous. i have my hardware setup with like RMIV but loading samples on that is crap and fussy and i don't even have the samples on that computer and etc... if i had an mpc1000, i'd have the the noises on a CF card -- heck, i already do, in a box somewhere -- and there wouldn't be no bullshit trying to find them fast, audition for finding the particular ones i'm hearing, use tap tempo rather than guess, and then just hit record and play it out

Im selling my 909. Will have two grand spare after paying stuff off. Tempted to get an akai mpc 60 and s950, for a dj premier hip hop setup, aphex and squarepusher also used these. But im shit at hip hop. I think id better stay with acid.
Another option is to get 3 jx3ps and trigger them from the 808. Might sound good but have problems getting jx3psmwithnanworking sequencer might be expensive.
What im really fucking tempted by is elektron boxes, analog four mkii, rytm mkii, and the machinedrum mkii.
Then around christmas im gonna get the polyend tracker.

I read that preemo uses it just as a sequencer and uses the s950 as sampler... fatboy slim used two s950s...
Guess it doesnt really matter. In a way spemding 2 grand on digital gear seems like a waste of money... id probably just end up selling them on ebay... i do t really make hip hop,or drum and bass because imdont want to use copyright samples
I have a yamaha su 700 And emu esi 2000 that were cheap as chips. 300 quid for both. Unfashionable stuff works just as well as the big names.

i guess my point is don't blindly buy an mpc60 because that's what aphex used at the time. that can be a valid thing to understand how someone got a sound, but only to a point. like, you don't need the exact fucking quadraverb... unless there is something special about the mpc60 you'd be better off with something modern, reliable... say a 1000
but maybe the menus and some bastardly step sequencer turn you into an acid hiphop genius or something i dunno
