I also have seen most of my plays/comments/likes are on tracks i have in my signature here on DSF and most of the traffic to my SC is DSF based. I like to rotate the newest single into that signature. This way if ppl like what i have to say, they might check my tunes OR if they think im a total tnuc...

My newest thing intro wise: Create a WHOLE other track for the frist 32-64 bars. Rob swire likes to do this type of stuff: -video x2- other producers do it too, his stuff just came into my mind first lol. i usually just pick a genre (electro, trance, hiphop) with my first track coming in fullon the...

Just had to ask because i dunno if I've been doing the right thing for the last 6 months, but with regards to the theory that drums should hit at about -12db is that on their own individual tracks or on the master? My kicks in Ableton sounds relatively quiet as it is and they are hitting at 0db. Lo...

If everything is legit id recommend reinstalling your OS and starting clean. IF this has not worked form the first install your PC may just need some serious house cleaning and a rebuild.

Man I have this same problem. I widen loads of stuff too much I think. Recently asked Rob Swire for some feedback on a track and he said the side information (as in mid/side) was way too harsh and wide. I guess it just takes practice and a good setup to really hear how wide you're making stuff. I h...

Once you make the contact, id start to follow the promoter/locals on soundcloud and facebook as well, comment on stuff get a repoire established. The sooner you make "friends" with these ppl the sooner you will get an invitation. Granted it will usually be opener/warm up slots at first, bu...

When i was living in apartments, i just followed the sound ordinance laws. I could be asloud as i wanted to until 10:00pm than i had to shutup. Honestly i shock the crap out of my neighbors but only had a complaint from one guy and he was just kind of looking to yell at ppl for no reason.

Here are a few ideas i have for you: Read this article about ghost producing in EDM http://www.magneticmag.com/2012/05/ghostproducing-the-scenes-deepest-darkest-secret/ 1. Hire Skrillex just like Korn did to produce their EDM stuff. 2. Hire Madeon, the guy who produces/writes lady gaga's stuff (just...

I use touchosc and the livecontrol template to control abelton sometimes int he studio. I imagine for tracking a real band it would be super handy to hve the DAW anywhere in the room/house lol sometimes drums end up in some wierd places for DIY recording sessions. I like to be able and watch the met...

http://totalproaudio.stevebunting.com/297/mixing/console-gain-structure/ Not directly realted to what your doing but the theory and practice is explained. I prefer funning unity gian sturctruing both in the studio and in my live rigs. If i need to be louder i bring more speakers/subs and make sure ...

Sorry i cant watch videos at work but ANYWAY learn to make robot noises in Massive http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0sFRbxACZE OR learn to make them in Logic http://www.macprovideo.com/hub/Sound-Design/creating-robotic-machine-like-sound-effects-in-logic-pro OR Get your iphone out and record some mot...

What version of massive?

Sample it, and put that into a drum rack lol

sounds like you have some shit EMI insulation on your mobo or USB controller.

Are you using balanced patch cables?

Tune to key, eq other elements in ~200hz, sidechain bass to drums.

Do you have a proper MIDI keyboard? Just record the "emotional" jam session and chop/edit the midi into a track. Copying certain bits to different synth/instruments and it should start to just build itself around your original idea/emotion. I wish i had a formal piano background.... i bare...

Ground loop sounds plausible, but jsut for kicks and giggles. is the sound still their when you mute everything in the windows mixer control panel? i used to get feedback from cdroms and stuff back in the day.
