i just got the behringer xenyx 802 this weekend.
i probably played with it for 2 days straight. it's an
awesome little machine. the knobs are very nice,
and have that tactile little feedback that says they are
are 50%, which i really liked. the sound was awesome.
the 3-band EQs were really nice. all and all it was a
great buy for only $60 (shipped). so i would think the
larger version would be just as nice.

Anybody know of a mixer in this range (size and input wise) with FX sends that are pre-fader or switchable?  Post-fader sends aren't useful for me or the 802 would be perfect.  sad

Yes please.

Didn't want to leave cm.o out of my spam storm! wink

Connecting chip/electronic/lofi artists and fans in the Bowling Green KY, Nashville TN, and surrounding areas.  Post your releases, find out about shows, download stuff, gush about how awesome I am for maintaining this, etc.  I'd really like to see some visual artists show up (I could use a cool logo).

GET OHHWWN IT!

And by "surrounding areas" I mean pretty much any state that borders KY or is within a days drive of Nashville.

Breakcore = Boring tired music with chopped up drumbeats that still can't top Alec Empire's "The Destroyer", an album made in 1996.

True... but then almost nothing tops "The Destroyer"  smile  "Squeeze the Trigger" comes close.

Follow all the installation instructions.  There's a step where you have to manually place a file in the correct folder... sorry to be so vague but it's been a while since I had to do this.  tongue

I've found that this line works: "If you book me I will be bringing X number of people into your venue, to watch me play and pay money for your products and services."

It sounds dumb to say, but the trick is having people to watch you. Friends are a good start, especially if they like your music, they will in turn bring their friends. In order to build a live following you have to start with mates, even if they stop coming later down the line. They are the people who will tell you what works and what doesn't in your set as well!

I have a few mates in local bands. We always make sure we turn up to each others gigs to be sure there are at least 10 people in the room that are 100% there to see whoever out of us is playing that night. To have people at every gig who sing the lyrics to your songs, or know when things are dropping looks great to a venue. It also helps convince people you are awesome.

That's just crazy enough to work!  wink

I got the Chicago show and will definitely get the Nashville one that I was at... I need to do a side-by-side track list and see what songs I'm missing...

I've got a pair of the original KRK RP5's that I got for super cheap.  Records sound great but I can't mix on them for shit.  sad  Also, I can't mix for shit.  tongue

I really like the whole vibe of this album and the tracks flow together nicely.  Thumbs up!

You had me at "Pulselooper’s 4th EP. Five songs written and performed using a DMG Game Boy and a Commodore-64 home computer (both played live and recorded/mixed on ableton live - with the help of arduinoboy/mGB and a MSSIAH cartridge). Music and theme inspired on the motion picture “Videodrome” by David Cronenberg (which, in Brazil, had its title adapted as “The Video Syndrome” (”A Síndrome do Video”)."

Downloading now...

I guess im asking how do you present/represent yourself when booking?  Thats not really marketing i suppose.

Since there's talk of marketing, I'd like to hear about "marketing" to venues... bars, basements, college auditoriums... why should they book you?

hHh = the stamp of quality.  Haven't had a miss yet!

This discussion has become far more interesting than my original question.  Rock on.

You can see the downloads for all the FMA uploads:

These tend to be reissues and aimed towards a non chip audience, but might be intersing to someone.

That is interesting.  I'll also take the opportunity to say thank you and good work!  I've pointed several people to your selections.
