Have a nice AIDS!

this is not me, by the way.

yeah interesting stuff.

fuck the law, just make what you want to make and worry about it later. Needless to say, straight up clips of music, drumloops, and vocal samples from big movies etc tend to sound corny anyway.

Yes, i was very bored.

venetian snares - befriend a child-killer, really captures the christmas spirit for me.

this is the funniest thread ever in the history of the universe

discuss...

Byron, naturally.

how very intelligent of you.

You don't think humans have the instinct to eat meat too? Sure, animals bred for food should be treated humanely, but there's nothing wrong with eating them.

u knows i got style! (picture works this time)

sorry, but who could resist a blank canvas like that?

best thing to do is go into a shop and ask for a hands-on demo really...it certainly has good oscillators and a decent filter, for making bass sounds, the only limitation to be aware of is that it only does 4-voice polyphony. "External audio can be vocoded and/or processed through the filter, effects and EQ via the included microphone or standard 1/4" stereo inputs." thats a very nice feature!

The microkorg should fit your requirements. You say you don't want to get into programming patches, but I'm sure you will once you get your hands on the dials

Robbie Williams is a fantastic rock vocalist, second only to the wonderful Rod Stewart.

guns attached to the internet, what a great idea!

As "Doc" said, mastering is post-mixdown treatment of your tracks, to acheive a polished and consistent sound before committing the mix to vinyl/cd/whatever media. This typically involves multi-band compression/limiting and EQ, applied to the whole mix, rather than individual elements such as the drums, guitar, vocals etc, and also takes into account the limitations of the media the music is destined for - for example, vinyl has physical limitations which can result in a record which will skip on playback, and badly "mastered" tracks can even damage the cutting head during production. "Loudness" is generally sought after these days, and is acheived by the use of limiting, but comes at the expense of dynamic range. If you compare the waveforms of a good classical music recording, and a contemporary pop record, you can see just what damage can be done to your music when you try to get it "as loud as possible". So yeah, mixing and mastering is an art in itself, it's best left to a professional, but you better have a good sound engineer in the first place to acheive a good recording and a balanced mixdown, because, as they say, you can't polish a turd.

can i have a kitten? I could do with some variation in my diet.
