^^ that was scandy

[TALBO]

Having had a listen to a couple of new tracks I've been working on over the last couple weeks, I must say that they're certified shit house...... Amazing what fresh ears can do for you!!!

[PREISS]

^ hahah too true.

Ive been working on tracks for hours. over and over. In the end have to turn if off. Gets annoying.

Listen to it 3 days later and it sounds completely diff. Strange

[Luciano]

Craig how was the RESO gig on Saturday mate?

[PREISS]

o man.

Best sound. best music. best crowd.

I thought all the DJs before reso were really good.

Then Reso came on, he was honestly a f**kin machine. cutting thru songs with technical difficulty , . making it all look easy.

big big night. Sunday I wasnt feeling the best. But it was worth it.

Long set too. Should get it soon of Jayar who runs the dubstep shows on thursday nights. Ill send it if he has it

[Luciano]

Best sound. best music. best crowd.

that's what its all about!!!

That's one big reason why I stopped going to clubs as regularly as i used to. Shit music, wanker crowds, and sound systems that sound like something put together by a 16 year old bedroom dj...

Crown and sceptre really looks on the up & up with these weekender events. The RESO gig was very well promoted imo.

That'd be awesome if you get your hands on that set too

[PREISS]

Tune into Fresh tomorrow night mate. 10pm. dub show.

he might play the set on air.

If not Ill ask for it and send it.

Ill grab your Email or something

came across this today Craig

Prodigy - Take Me to the Hospital (Rusko Remix)

sounds dope!

[PREISS]

Nice mate. would sound sweet on a big system.

My DJM came today. cant stop playin with it. sore back and all.

nice effects on the 400. Basically a smaller version of the 800.

Really impressed. Great quality.

[Luciano]

I'm jealous mate, they are awesome mixers!

I just started having a play around with fruity loops tonight, awesome application hey!

Have you still got any tracks posted up Craig? I remember you posting a couple up that you made somewhere...

[PREISS]

that'll be gold!

I like the Jungle Neck track a lot, its very tripped out...

im working my way through learning some of the basic fruityloops functions. I've played around with it a little each night, started building a track last night. Building a basic electro house track. Keeping it very simple. Will post up a clip when its progressed a little more.

I really cant stand electro house, but a lot of the sounds and samples I've come across in FL belong to the genre...

[PREISS]

yeah I know what your saying mate. If your a memeber of demonoid you can find some packs that work with fruity loops.

You can buy packs with great sounds too.

Fruity loops is great. been using it for years. but smoe of the stock sounds lack and you need to tweak alot.

[Luciano]

yeah I'm going to definitely look into getting more sounds & packs. These ones are pretty damn ordinary like you say!

A guy I know was supposed to send me an invite me to join demonoid - still waiting for it... prick

I've wanted to make tunes for a long time now, finally starting. So many ideas!!!!!

FL is a good starting point imo. A mate of mine gave me Cubase SX3, but it lacks a little without some good VSTs

[PREISS]

Did you get cubase working ? wouldnt mind having a look myself. I had a cracked copy that didnt work

You should look into sony soundforge too. Great for tweaking etc once your track is recorded.

If your mate cant get you the invite to demonoid let me know . I may have some invited left

[Luciano]

lol, cheers mate!

yep, it definitely works.

(its cracked)

It came with the very basic VSTs (like A1 Synth - which is quite cool), but hardly any samples.

Actually came as a bundle with Nuendo and Steinberg Wavelab too. They all work as far as I've seen. Pretty sure I kept a copy on my ext HD - it's at work, so ill get back to you

[TALBO]

On XP there shouldn't be any issues running SX3 or Nuendo, especially if you have an ASIO compatible audio card/driver.

If you want VST's and VSTi's let me know what you're after.

[Luciano]

Nice Steve!

i want to look at modifying sounds & making my own, but theres a lot to learn from a newbie point of view. That'll be far down the track i reckon

A good drum sampling/sequence kit would be cool. Something like Native Instruments - Battery 3.

Im happy mucking around with FL at the moment though, very cool app

[PREISS]

cool cool.

yeah ill deff grab that stuff of ya. Let me know when its up and running.

Dont underestimate FL studio. Its pretty classy, just gotta tweak alot. Did you know SPOR produces with FL studio ? I was pretty amazed myself, as his sounds are so techy and all over the shop. Ofcourse he would have midi sounds hooked up etc etc.

I'm not much into FL, can't really get into it. Battery is cool though, got some battery kits on a drive somewhere but at the moment my fav is Addictive Drums which is a standalone program or VSTi. Other cool drum programs are Toontrack DKFH and FXpansion's BFD
