Let me start.

Akira Yamaoka

[Facade]

Akira Yamaoka

*googles*
*sees he made silent hill music*
i fear this man o.o

[SpyPie]

I love him.

[Makkon]

I just bought NI Damage, and Abby Road 70s drummer. Comes this monday. Considering that percussion is my weakest skill, I seem to love doing it a lot.

And in that light, I'm in the mood for some Akira Yamaoka inspired tracks.

[Ed Viper]

Anamanaguchi.

Anyone who is looking to try chiptunes, listen to that man's music. (If you saw Ponies Anthology 2, that was one of his songs used in the intro).

[SpyPie]

I've heard of him before. Never really liked his music. His music was never as clear and crisp as alot of Chiptune.

I owe a crapload to Mr.Yamaoka, my music is clearly inspired by his. Seriously.

Am I the only one who likes to make a pattern/loop, tune it JUST RIGHT, export it to .wav, normalize/compress it, and then use it on the playlist for their final product? Note that I haven't done this before, but I've just started doing this for my 'coming-soon' track for A State of Brony. And it works absolute miracles for mastering, man.

Might try that, since my new music is primarily bass.

I just find it so much easier to export it to 32-bit floating point .wav to cut out clipping issues and then slap a PEQ2 or two into the mixer to cut/boost frequencies without having to worry about a synth. Plus it saves a lot of CPU for synth-heavy productions.

Everything you just said would have amazed everyone at my school

Haha, really? Why's that? Also, bear in mind, I might sound like I know what I'm talking about, but I don't know that much. My first track, which I made more than a year ago on FLS8 when I was bored, was a huge hit, and I JUST started back up, about a month ago lol. But man did I get bit by that music bug. It's all I want to do now. Freaking ponies. Driving me to creativity.

Everybody at my school has the head of a brick.
Can't even learn Music tech vocab

*edit*

/Facepalm

Listened to Calvin Harris's new song
Never thought I'd hate him that much...

[Peak Freak]

Music industry is dead ;_;

[SpyPie]

I love Calvin Harris, I really do.

But seriously? Why did he start producing actual TECHNO? whatever happened to the Industry that he was talking about 4 years ago?

[CDPP]

He'll be coming back to it one day.

[CommandSpry]

Rick Astley

Never gonna give him up.

Lets all hope so,

Even Basshunter is doing his Old thing again, I believe

[Lethaargic]

Favorite music legend?

me: Lou Reed

[LunchBagMusic]

Van Morrison got soul.

umph.

[Artimeus]

Attempting to use multiband compressors ignites within me the rage of 10,000 dying suns on the edge of the universe. I really should just let someone else master my songs before I toss my computer out the window in a fit.

[SpyPie]

I feel really dirty

It's my offical 'I haven't made music in a month' day. I'm going nuts. please?

I thought this thread was about music, not producing music
