Sorry about saying the Ableton sucked I shouldn't have said
anything in the first place because Im sure that ableton Has
tons and tons of potential but im not will to take the time
to get used to it when I already have gotten used to fl
studio.

And Im a kinda Techno Genre going on
LAZY_TITLE
you tell me what genre I am

check out Crossover for Mac. allows you to run Windows
software straight from OSX - no need to dual boot etc.
FLoops apparently works.

I do, and the new version that will be out in a couple of
months will be quite a step up, again. the playlist has been
reworked for more flexibility. it's no longer just pattern
based like trackers. more a mix of non linear editing and
patterns.

lots of music is released that's made in FL. Spor, Benga,
9th wonder, concord dawn, skream,... and the list goes on.
not that I like all those artists but I really wouldn't
underestimate it.

even venetian snares used trackers at one time. or maybe
still does.

don't listen to what some morons say "go ableton, fl sucks"
or "logic sounds better". if you see anyone saying that you
can simply ignore them. they don't know anything.

use what you like and use it to it's full potential.

a track of mine

another track of mine

Every program with a graphical interface limits you.

The purest digital music making is done by programming.

FL Studio and Ableton both suck.

true, but negative.

What do you mean the purest digital music?

I usually mess with samples so a program like ableton is
plenty. No need to try and overcomplicate something.

Suprised nobody mentioned sweet programs like Audiomulch or
Plogue Bidule



 

offline pulseclock from Downtown 81 on 2009-08-28 13:45 [#02319961]
Points: 6015 Status: Lurker



Actually i retract that last post, because Ableton is very
limited, unless your using it to make mixes or something.

Because to make tracks that go in the direction you want
them to, hardware sequencers, or programming something
yourself digitally IS the best way.

I've not had the experience of these "purer" methods yet so
i can't elaborate. But programs that allow you to create and
route your own graphic envornments like Plogue Bidule or Max
are useful when you're not a math head or electronic know it
all.

By the way

What the fuck is Pure Digital Music? Isn't music made with
only a computer as pure as it gets? Programming your music
is something you could do inside this PDM world, just like
using software like ableton and fstudio. So... what is it?
You, Troutmask, of all interesting people, seems to know,
and pioneering it.

Programming your own electronic musical interfaces is
better, if you wish to have one. This is from the
SuperCollider man pages...

Dynamism: Most graphical synthesis environments use
statically allocated unit generators. In SuperCollider, the
user can create structures which spawn events dynamically
and in a nested fashion. Patches can be built dynamically
and parameterized not just by floating point numbers from a
static score, but by other graphs of unit generators as
well. Or you can construct patches algorithmically on the
fly. This kind of fluidity is not possible in a language
with statically allocated unit generators.

Brevity: In SuperCollider, symmetries in a patch can be
exploited by either multichannel
expansion or programmatic patch building. For example, the
following short program
generates a patch of 49 unit generators. In a graphical
program this might require a significant amount of time and
space to wire up. Another advantage is that the size of the
patch below can be easily expanded or contracted just by
changing a few constants.

(
{
// 10 voices of a random sine percussion sound :
s = Mix.ar(Array.fill(10, { Resonz.ar(Dust.ar(0.2, 50), 200
+ 3000.0.rand, 0.003)}) );
// reverb predelay time :
z = DelayN.ar(s, 0.048);
// 7 length modulated comb delays in parallel :
y = Mix.ar(Array.fill(7,{ CombL.ar(z, 0.1,
LFNoise1.kr(0.1.rand, 0.04, 0.05), 15) }));
// two parallel chains of 4 allpass delays (8 total) :
4.do({ y = AllpassN.ar(y, 0.050, [0.050.rand, 0.050.rand],
1) });
// add original sound to reverb and play it :
s+(0.2*y)
}.play )

Graphical synthesis environments are becoming a dime a
dozen. What separates SuperCollider from such graphical
environments may not be as obvious as one would believe; the
appearance differences are radical, but in the end,
inconsequential. The true advantage that SuperCollider holds
above any graphical synthesis environment is that the
composer need not conform to the standards presented by the
user environment.

Hahaha leave this board please, angsty untallented show off.
You really think facts lay in that patch of random code that
you got off SuperCollider webpage?

I'm sorry man, but that really is uninteresting at all. What
Cylob did and his music system, THAT is interesting. Not

if you're gonna start out with PD, Csound , max and all that

you'll be spending more time patching something the goes:

instead making music.

So when Aphex Twin writes his own code and software, he's a
visionary, but when anyone else does it, they're pretentious
electronic music snobs? Maybe you have that stigma because
people who have visions that go beyond shitty DAW software's
capabilities need to use programming languages to achieve
them. That's why everyone does it.

People like Merzbow use SuperCollider, sure. But so does
Cylob and Peter Gabriel. Aphex Twin used SuperCollider for a
while also (Richard D James Album). Arguing against an
entire method of composition because you have such an
ill-informed stigma regarding its users is just childish.

Why don't you listen for yourself.

I've heard your music, and can say with confidence that it
is a boring, stupid, typical, uninspiring acid allusion. Do
you know how many times I've walked through downtown
Manhattan on a typical Wednesday night hearing your exact
timbres, drum programming, and synth sounds coming from the
24 year old DJs working their night jobs?

Call me talentless if you want - I really don't care. But
don't do it unless you're willing to be called a copycat -
an imitator - because that's what you are.

Ugh i really don't care man, but you just call me a copy cat
because you don't have any legs to stand on against my
opinions, so you just call my music copy cat and boring
because it's some genre that happened to already exist, you
uninteresting scumbag. You don't even allow anyone here to
have opinions, and when these opinions are about your ways
of making music, you just attack whatever you can. It's
really like a religion you are trying to push on to
everyone, and i quite have a hate for people like that. They
never respect anyone else's opinions, nor do they know the
difference.

Showing off your music like it's God's creation and hiding
behind all the good comments that people give you or maybe
magazine's or radioshows or something. You have no idea that
there's a place for any type of music for any type of
person, copy cat style or not. I don't need intellect to
know what makes good music, i make it with whatever the hell
i can. I compose, with hardware and software with my own
plugins. Jeez just look at you, while i was at work earning
golden cash, you couldn't help yourself but bouncing your
sweaty little fingers all over your little laptop. You're
disgusting, you dumb fucking asswank. You have no respect
for anyone but yourself, and you won't ever. I compose
whatever i enjoy to compose, you just program shit to show
off your skills whenever you want, and that's that, i allow
you. It are simply my opinions against your ways of making
music, that works you up like a horny pussy.

And really, your music doesn't sound fresh to me, in my
opinion
. I'll just mark that, in case your intellect
doesn't have room for that to understand.

Now everyone, do this guy a favor, and call me a copy cat.
Now!

Give this virgin something to wank about tonight, like he
won some kind of fight or something.

Fucking non social childish pillock.
