Jean-Michel Jarre's "Oxygene" is a classic, hand's down. Some of the best space music ever and....


....the early '90s follow up is surprisingly good as well. He went back and used the original analog gear he used in the '70s for a pleasing result. And speaking of '70s space ambient....


....let us not forget Klaus Schulze's "Timewind." An unstappoable classic. One of the best examples of long form "berlin school" space ambient of all time.

[i mean, i get saying something like... american "diplomacy", or american "justice"...  you know...   the quotes are facetious and serve a mocking function...

just struck me as sort of funny the way its quoted.  this thing, "america"...  the so-called ""

The worst offenders are restaurants and bistros around where I live. They can never, ever figure out where quotation marks go.
The bistro around the corner of my workplace advertises "stew" every other week. Like hell I'm touching stew that's put in quotation marks! "Today" is another favorite. I guess because it's relative of the time-zone or planet or something?

Exactly what I was thinking! Reminds me of The "blog" of "unnecessary" quotation marks.

But back to the topic at hand, what amazes me about this type of plagiarism on the web is that these people are actually dumb enough to think they're really going to get away with it. Like the criminals who are too dumb to pull off their own heist, bank robbery, liquor store hold up, etc....

The best thing you can do is just adjust all the track volumes by ear.  That's what you're actually going for... for all the tracks to be perceived by a human ear as having the same volume.  That is not the same thing as having identical peak heights in a waveform.

Thank you! Someone finally mentioned psycho-acoustics. Higher pitched sounds usually sound louder than lower pitched sounds, even if your VU meter says they're the same. In my experience certain timbres also seem to sound louder, even at much lower volumes. They seem to cut through the mix. Masking is another weird phenomenon you'll experience in mixing. Cymbals and other sizzley, white-noisey sounds can tend to mask certain lower pitched instruments and frequencies if they're up too loud in the mix.

From what I've read, when building a tesla coil you have to actually manufacture a lot of the parts yourself and cannibalize from other sources. Many of the parts you need will be difficult or impossible to otherwise get ahold of. None the less, it is cool to see and hear someone playing sound through a tesla coil's PCM chip!

In the meantime, you can play around with Airwindows free plug-in Nikola "an attempt to do the sound of an audio Tesla Coil."

I just thought I'd point out that just as a guitar amp doesn't have a PCM chip, so too does a tesla coil lack a PCM chip.

My bad, thanks for clearing that up. I could have sworn that I read somewhere that that was how they pushed sound through a Tesla coil, but I am probably remembering incorrectly. ^^;

Not sure, but they were very nice to post my latest album "Plasma Weapon" recently which isn't exactly 100% chip. Great website and cool looking design as well!

Active Step and Flux features for realtime dynamic loop manipulation

This definitely makes up for the limitations of having only 8-steps and three drum sounds. Damn, now I think I really want one of these. And you can probably sync it to a Bliptronic, too?
