Re: I suck at drum and bass, how can I improve this? (2xlsdj) (15 replies, posted in Constructive Criticism)
tbh, I didn't think this was bad at all! you just need to make the drums crazier IMO. you seem to be focusing too much on the kick-chop up those drums to be less of a "groove" and more of a "spaz." and of course, it could never hurt to load in and chop up a drum break-that's where the heart of this style lies IMO

Re: Remembering your first performance (64 replies, posted in General Discussion)
I went to 8static in philly. I brought my laptop and the homemade maracas I built a few hours earlier out of paper plates and dried beans, the outsides decorated with googley eyes and gift bows glued on to them. I went on stage loaded renoise and hit spacebar and started shaking along to the rhythms. It was pretty gay. Gay as in happy and great.
we miss you come back

Re: Thoughts on Streaming (114 replies, posted in General Discussion)
And that is 100% no discredit to any of the artists' talent, either. I honestly believe that I would also not enjoy a "webshow" of some of my absolute favorite artists ever unless it was really planned well on their part too. But that's not something I as a fan should be expecting of the artists I enjoy; instead I should be more focused on buying their products and seeing them at a physical show whenever and as much as possible. It's asinine to assume that in addition to creating appealing music, performing live and creating a brand that my favorite artists should be prepared to also bottle all of that up into a prepackaged and cohesive webcam presentation that I can view from the leisure from my own bedroom and oh yeah just like Peter Swimm said, for absolutely free

Re: Thoughts on Streaming (114 replies, posted in General Discussion)
Good topic and I think it's relevant to address this. For me, it depends on what you mean. I am a huge fan of actual concerts being streamed in audio and/or video. It's interesting to be observing the party from the outside, see the interactions between artist and audience, and most importantly to learn how so many of us can not and never will be able to dance
But playing a "webshow" is something I'm not particularly a fan of. I've been interested in trying one myself, but I know I would have to figure out some creative and enticing way to keep it entertaining. IMO, you simply cannot take the same approach you would have to a normal, in-the-flesh show...I think it's near-embarrassing to be watching someone just tweak out in their bedroom/basement while hearing a super crisp line-in signal or even just as bad when you hear the ambience of a room with only one person in there wailing it out. Sometimes the live webcam show idea works though; I think Radiohead actually was a great example of this (regardless how you feel about their music) when they played through In Rainbows on a live stream in the studio with stuff like multi-cam angles and choreographed video clips; but if you're not bringing anything new to the table and you're doing something like just sitting at a desk and staring into the webcam then you are not playing a show-you are debuting songs to a chat room. I don't see any real difference then between that and something like turntable.fm, which is already a mighty fine establishment, but you can start to see the confusion there now between the two mediums
This is just my (probably unpopular) opinion on the matter but I think the reason for this discrepancy is that a huge element of playing live is the ability to feed off of and respond to the audience's reactions be them positive OR negative. Sometimes this even is the deciding factor between a good and a bad show over the actual quality of the music and many artists in any genre still struggle to realize this. On a "webshow" this is simply not possible save for reading through a chatlog of text responses and I think this is the Achilles' heel of the entire underlying idea behind playing a "webshow" live.

Re: Trackers on OSX Laptops? (Missing delete/insert keys...) (31 replies, posted in Software & Plug-ins)
I used to know this perfectly, navigating MilkyTracker with ease, but I haven't sued it in a while and I forgot.
hope this helps
What I do remember in Milky and other programs: fn + delete gets rid of note data, fn + shift + delete gets rid of line, both methods don't shift latter data upwards
