My Pipeline/workflow: I have a root level, Music Production folder that houses ALL my Music Production materials, ableton projects, sample libraries and my own sounds/presets i have designed in the past. This folder is not structured really in ANY meaningful way, except MY STUFF that i created is in...

Open ableton, pick BPM, sketch Skeleton Drums (8 bars atleast) sketch Drums variant (more hit hats/shuffled hats/groove). Then i either latch onto a sample or a synth im inspired by and the rest is history. The other week i turned a remix around in 6 days. I have spent way too much time in the last ...

When i first started to produce i would slam WAY too many odd pads/synths/extra layers that i originally thought would make for a "better" (read entertaining) end product, you know more is better right? lol. The issue is my mixes just sounded horrible, sure i wasnt in a treated studio with...

lol fair enough, maybe its just the old farts who still like to make heavy choons but pay the bills via a "real" job, that im picking the trend up from.

this is fucking gold, dude. can we use the echo nest API to scan the lyrics of hip hop tunes and make a web-based generator? srsly Probably. I'll code something up tonight at work. Great tip. Off topic thought: I wonder how many EDM producers also have a IT/Technology background. I keep seeing/read...

Wub.

Dont lie to the kids.

Wub = Tiesto

He just likes trolling us Dubstep kids along.

Plz dont be the guy that does 30min sets, or alternates sets. I hate HATE playing a fukcing 30min set then having another dj take my crowd.... and CLEAR THE FLOOR FOR a half hour, jsut so i can do my best to get the kids all back into the mood. I am now refusing to do this type of scheudle. Anything...

LAWLZ, had to login to laugh at this. Quit trying to monetize a song/track, espeically one you dont own. Just give the stuff away for email address and build your network. You could easily clear way more cash from having a network and playing out live than trying to cash in on a remix that you cant ...

I had a few projects in ableton blow up/implode on me, i found out it was due to some corrupt samples i kept trying to load into a drum rack. Project would be fine, i drag in 10 kicks from a certain sample pack and i start beach balling and cpu hang and almost unresponsive until i either delete the ...

Im headed out that way Tomorrow for EFF.

First time at EFF, been to Waka and a few other Bella festivals.

CANT WAIT!!!! hope the weather holds out and doesnt swamp up to much, i can handle rain but hopefully dont have to sit out tornados like a few other summer/fests.

Yes, proof that people actually fully embraced the term brostep: They don't believe someone came up with it on here :lol: i first heard it here, i couldnt use it with anyone outisde DSF for quite sometime because noone knew what i meant, they jsut thought dubstep was all of everything that was EDM ...
