there was that site hosting kits a while back. i made some of classic jungle loops.....they had a bit of noise, but were pretty usable. as little scale said make sure they are loud, i found some things just worked better than others.... also do you mean you can play them in the patcher ? i thought could only test them once you put them on ze cart

Re: Why do you call yourself DJ? (43 replies, posted in General Discussion)
you are not a dj if you play live with two gameboys
you are not a dj if you 'remix on the fly' on your laptop w ableton
you ARE a dj if you mix music and thats its. On decks, on cdj's and with serato.
i think some musicians that have the name 'dj' before them is probably because they mix aswell. or mixed before they became a producer.
no one seems to understand what a dj is anymore

thanks !!! any support is greatly appreciated, i funded the mastering and the artwork myself so anything i can claw back is a bonus. But i think its worth it, it feels nice and wide/dynamic......im glad i got someone to master it, because when i master myself, i normally cant listen to it without flinching at the shitty bits haha

I hope no-one minds me posting it here. Of course alot of it is still Renoise,mpt, but i will say straight up its not a chip release.
But i posted here, because im pretty sure the people that listen to my music from this site will still dig it......and of course It has its bleepy 8 bit moments for sure, but mostly its of a low-fi, tape recording electronica nature.
For the geeks - on this record i used mostly some 808 beats, a roland jv2080 for most of the synth work, sample wise i always do my sample mangling in renoise.....then I basically ran alot of loops to a multitrack cassette, then resampled these recording in DAW...... Production wise i tied it all up in ableton.
Peace

Re: Synth Design Question (8 replies, posted in Audio Production)
i have the same liking. so i bought a tape player. some old shit tapes. leave them in the sun, unwind them rewind them etc, on my 4 track it has tape speed, if you push that old broken dial a bit it warps the sounds in parts and gives it that old effect. also i tried running some shit to an old vcr too, was pretty cool. and of course you can always do this quite nicely in soundforge. its good for that. because you can select say 30 secs of synth, and have the pitch move very slightly, or modulate it so it sounds quite authentic. seriously buy a shit old tape player with line in, you'd be amazed how interesting it sounds when you record it back to the computer. even one of those new tape players with a usb input are handy. because its super easy to whack a loop on there and then record to tape, then run from the tape out back into your mixer. i often shun my shure mic, to record glockenspiel with this shit tape player w built in mic, some about the natural tape saturation just makes it sound nicer than a clear, and often too resonant recording from a nice mic. I have roland jv2080, its has lots of patches on it with the sound you are after, as someone said before, mostly its just very subtle lfo on the voices of the patch thaat give that whirling battery dying effect.
