Yep, I still don't get pop music its bland and all sounds the same and well... I could do it better!
Go do it better then.
Your comment regarding festivals only applies to mainstream festivals.

The Gamecube is the best thing in your setup.
Not as good as the N64 hidden behind the synth.
-
oh god it's so fucking analogue
its so WARM
-
The SH-2 has finally arrived.
Only just occurred to me how much of an analogue setup I've got.

There is a significant branch of software development dedicated to user testing. This generally involves bringing in people who have never used the software before, as their opinions are free from bias, and often far more representative of how intuitive and well-designed a given piece of software is.
Logic is ok for getting you going I guess (Still slow compared to Ableton), start pushing it and you'll quickly start getting annoyed with it like the rest of us.

Not too many synth types around here, but still, drum machines are fun, especially this one.
-
It has, but I didn't compare the volume to 'professional' tracks/ other albums.
Oh well. Other than that it's fine production-wise though?
Its not slick, but all the better for it.
If you fancy it, I can have a go at mastering, send me a PM.

Might aswell post here too
I released my first EP today.

LCD/65dos fans may enjoy this.
Dig.
Also; feel free to give me critique. c:
Very quiet, has this been mastered?
Quiet as in I've now got Kelly Watch The Stars by Air on after and when I'd had Soundcheck in iTunes on, it was still louder, how that is off, HUGE difference.

Anyone who can call Muse weak at what they do, must be quite unbelievable.
Just really into electronic music.
-
but the original price he's saying he bought it for does include VAT
That is naughty.
-
Also is that price including VAT, which that tax dodging Americans don't have to pay?

At the moment, it doesn't seem to quite know what it wants to be. Always seems to be a guitar and seems to cloud/clash with the synths.
Plenty of other bands that mix the two and do it very well, always felt Muse were a bit weak at it, like they are only doing what has been done before (Hysteria is possibly the only interesting use of synths they've done) and OOS used lots of synths and no one really considers it a hybrid or remotely "electronic". Currently got Ultravox's 1981 album Rage In Eden on, well worth a listen.
By the way, my band is somewhat a mix of rock and electronica: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kiAXoBJCVI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNUGEJ4GFqQ

Jazzthief will probably call prog rock pretentious in a minute.
Prog Rock could be seen as pretentious as it is generally regarded as "complex" music, yet generally is relatively simple. So it could be seen as thinking it is something more than what it is, therefore pretentious.

How a classic hardware comp alter the sound apart from messing with it's volume.
Sometimes when i see producers talking about their compressors it sounds like they are talking about EQs and saturators.
I've seen countless opinions like "software comps suck man" and i want to see what is the huge deal about hardware comps. Or threads on Gearslutz where half of the userbase thinks that the reason why a currently chart topping track sounds good is because it was processed through a Pultec tube EQ and SSL buss comps etc.
It sounds like bullshit to me but i'd rather hear it in real life.
A classic compressor will generally add saturation, the LA2A is particularly popular for vocal distortion (Think Jack White, Trent Reznor…).
A track doesn't sound great because of one particular EQ or compressor. It was quite strange to find that both Nevermind and In Utero were done on Neve mixing desks (Possibly the same model), I never liked the sound of Nevermind, yet love In Utero.
Software emulations in the past were not particularly powerful, so like Waves' V-EQ was pretty much just the curves of the 1073 EQ, whereas their latest version of it also emulates the saturation of the preamp, along with how the EQ alters the saturation, a far closer emulation to the original hardware.
-
I am thinking about DIYing one and hopefully gain some more knowledge about compressors in the process' date=' the amount of bullshit i can find about them is amazing.[/quote']
What are you trying to learn about them?
-
(by good enough i mean if i can't get a good sound out of them is my fault or the source (sample' date=' recording etc.) sucks and more frequently both combined with an untreated room and shitty monitors)[/quote']
I think that is true of pretty much true of any software EQ and compressor generally.
If you're looking for an 1176, have a look at the Warm Audio WA76, a third of the price as the UA one, but apparently just as good.

May I ask why PT is your go to DAW for traditional recording over the others?
Like I said earlier in the thread, I mainly use Ableton but have just recently started using ProTools and I'm just wondering what advantages PT actually has over it...
Mostly the quality of its stock plugins, there are a couple of not so obvious technical things as well. Nothing wrong with Ableton, use it 90% of the time.
-
I own Pro Tools, Logic, Ableton Live and Max.
Only keep Logic for film related stuff, otherwise it is mostly unusable. For traditional recording, PT is the only way to go, everything else, Ableton all the way. Logic sits somewhere between the two as a jack of all trades, but really is the master of nothing. Not used Cubase in years.

Full set and the camera's microphone can't handle the sub bass.

What's the difference between real amps and the digital ones that Matt used for The 2nd Law Tour?
In general or you asking specifically about Matt's setup?
-
I never use it.....
Just put on some Bob's Burgers and learn the error of your ways.

Just quickly done this in Ableton. http://www.sendspace.com/file/pwxzao
Using a preset in Tension for the naff synthy guitar sound going into two instances of Amplitube 3 with the Soldano emulation and one of those has ArtsAcoustic Big Rock (An EHX Small Stone emulation) on it after the amp sim in "advanced" mode with colour, amount and mix all maxed.

This person is saying they respect it because of the talent involved, despite not enjoying it.
Still a stupid thing to say.
