Does anyone produce anymore?

[P.A.R.T.Y]

-----------------------------------------
I'm in the final production faze of my demo. That means all the instuments have been recorded and mixed. I will attempt to upload the tracks exclusively to FNK.

My style ranges from Dream to Hard trance, house to minimal breaks. I have used gear from Roland (J-1,J-106,MC-202,TR-606), Novation(k-station,bass station), Redsound(darkstar) & Quasimidi(ROL-309). I use Programs like Reason 2 and Cubase SX. I am becoming partial to Mac and Logic 6.
What's your style?
What gear do you like you like?

[rawb]

no one produces anymore - its all done with computers, mirrors and smoke machines.

every producer is really a robot.

Oh, sorry, I thought you said "romo".

[ebbomega]

Y'all are just robophobes.

[Candy-Kid]

there is no new music ever

[Hero.Skye]

the farthest i go to producing music is Fruity Loops. But im going to school soon to learn Music production so i can get my hands on some good programs and get the jist of it all. My style of music is somewhat hard and energetic. Its addicting as hell too :D

the newest addition to the Gracie Jui Jitsu family! Romo Gracie! pronounced 'Homo'!

for the question of production, I use Cubase SX2 and Reason 2.5 and Fruityloops Studio... plus about 50 or more VST instruments and FX, including stuff like z3ta+, Korg Legacy Series, Arturia Moog Modular, ABSynth 2, V-Station, Bass Station, Atmosphere... plus a bunch more that I can't really remember right now, haha

What gear do you like you like?

FNK looks foward to what you have in store. Please keep us posted. :y:

[P.A.R.T.Y]

Anyone preparing to release?
What gear/software do you use?

[Van Tek]

my latest speedgarage remix is being released on Speed Sessions records and will most likely be sold on the Hard-To-Find-Records website... aside from that I'm working regularily with a label called Gridlock'd Records, which is another speedgarage label from the UK, doing remixes of their original vocals and doing other remixes on the side for their sub-label... it's really nice finally working with goals in mind, instead of just making music for its own sake (which I still do, but it's harder now, between work and commissioned projects)

already posted the gear I use tho, hehe

[dre420]

I try to produce, with FL 4
I'm getting better and better each day.

[Séguin]

haha, I HATED the MC-202. Programing that fucker was a major bitch.

I've been producing since 99... Still producing, switched to Psytrance about a year and a half ago.

[P.A.R.T.Y]

How could you hate the MC-202? I mean, sure programming is a bitch, but if your patient and midi/sync the MC-202 to a TR-707, then your laughing. I really miss my MC-202, it was a gritty beast and put through an analog phaser and distortion hmm...yumm...

I was really suprised to see that Astral Projection is using Cubase SX on their titanium macs. I thought they would have used Logic 6/emagic. Now I can laugh at elitest Logic 6 users, HAHAHAHA..YOU SUCK...CUBASE RULES!!!

[Séguin]

Ok ya, it did have a fat fucking sound. I only had DIN Sync with mine. I don't miss it however. I would like to get a Jupiter 8 though

[P.A.R.T.Y]

^^^
That's a given. Who the hell wouldn't want a Jupiter 8? The MC-202 is about 1/3 of the price. I had a chance to listen to the new Roland V-synth today, what a peice of crap, still got that metalic taste in my mouth.

I produce hard ravey techno. Problem is, I don't really record much - I write and program the music into the gear so that it can be performed live. In the next few months, I'll hopefully have time again to sit down and record the best songs from my liveset, build an EP, and see if I can't get it distributed by a label. Who knows.

Here's a few tracks, live at 4:30 in the morning, out at Mile 36.
lfo.fsck.org/~drew/mux_-_four_tracks_from_Trancemission_7_-_20040717.mp3

I too am deeply in love with the MC-202 sound... tho I use a 101, and they sound nearly identical. Wish the 101 sequencer was more like the 202's, tho - no accent on the 101. I've modded my 101 to have MIDI, so I don't use the internal sequencer at all anymore.

Just got an FR-777 recently, and got to play with it proper for the first time two nights ago. Goddamn, 777 vs. 101 vs. analogue drum machines vs. big thick analogue bassline, with an MPC1000 providing the rides and hats and such...

[P.A.R.T.Y]

Awesome gear, wish I could say the same. I don't really have much gear now except a Phase 5 and an Alpha Juno 1. The good news is that I recorded all my shit in pro studios when I had gear.
The best thing to do is to record your tracks before your computer crashes and you lose all your valuable data.
Here is my top 3 list of gear to avoid:
1. Any new Roland gear, serious
2. Electribes -yick
3. MC-303, 505, 909
What's yours?

If you want to talk about stuff like that, a better place would be the Black Hole Club discussion list. A sizeable chunk of Vancouver's electronic musicians hang out there.

http://www.blackholeclub.com for info on how to join the list.

My least fave gear ever is the Yamaha DX200. Me and that thing did *not* get along. Incidentally, I traded it for a Korg Electribe ER-1, and have never been happier with a trade - I think Electribes rule, they don't do that much but they do their own thing just fine. Don't ask an EA-1 to be a thundering bassline, but the synth engine is passable and the sequencer is awesome. Ditto the ER-1; even if you only use it as an X0X-style MIDI sequencer, it's worth the used price and then some.

[Séguin]

I wouldn't mine an Electribe-R... but I'd want a JP-8080 first

[QuanNeur]

boo to the er-1.. the kickdrum is so sad, the rest is ho-hum. the last drum machine you'll ever buy: machinedrum

[Dr. Doom]

Doom has a tr-707 and a fr-777.
He loves his 777, it's his baby,.. his retarded dropped on its broken-in-the-most-perfect-analouge-way-possible head baby.

Before he started school, doom also had a microkorg, a Yamaha AN200 and an mc-307 (doom had it for 6 months and used it... twice?).
Sometime in the next month or two, doom will be getting another microkorg, an electribe and some sort of analouge drum machine. And after that, he'll need something to control it with...

Of course he might just end up buying a new pa or a video projector or a generator or a new computer or a big ass tv or or or ro ro ro rorrkhekghdk... he just can't make up his mind when it come to gear.
