Thank you very much.

These are great.
Could do all sorts of interesting stuff with these.

The original 'Tracker' software for the Amiga. Soundtracker Noisetracker Octamed ...all of them. Which of course are the roots and origins of FL Studio. Plenty of well known songs from the Rave era were made by people who embraced the do-it-yourself ethic and were creating top tunes which were homem...

Thanks for those replies. But would the tuning by ear method and GTune preserve the original length of the sample and keep its integrity? I do remember somebody on here mentioning a handy piece of software that would be able to read what key the sample is in and automatically adjust it whilst preser...

A while ago somebody posted a link to a piece of software which could analyse what key a sample is in and change it's key without changing it's length if you wished. I've done a forum search but I simply can't find it now. The reason why I'd find this so useful is because when I sample something I'd...

The children's animated TV series 'Pocoyo'

The narrator, Stephen Fry, often breaks off to talk to the viewers and you hear imaginary children's voices giggling quite often.

Just a reminder that the extended version of the Mercury Prize is on at 11.35pm on BBC2 tonight. That's in about an hour and a half from the time of this post. It'll be interesting to see that Burial video in full which we got a brief glimpse of the other night, and also what kind of reception and r...

I just wondered what with all the talk about the best VSTs to use, best soft synths, best hardware setup, does anybody actually work exclusively with samples alone? Can you create great tracks just with using samples alone? If not, why not? Are there really any limitations by just using samples? Is ...

Buzzy speaks some of the best sense I've seen in this thread. Thanks Little Boh Peep, that's kind of you to say. :) But whatever I'm saying I think it's probably motivated by a bit of bitterness and sour grapes because Burial didn't win. :lol: If Burial had won I'd probably be posting about how The...

Seriously, Burial should have won hands down. SAD to see some inferior artists win it, but oh well "thats the way she goes boys, the way she fuckin goes". I think it's a very flawed Awards. For a start nominations are chosen by a selected panel of musicians, music executives, journalists ...

Lauren Laverne....what a snide bitchy comment that was about him not catching the bus. What is her problem? erm.. Yeah I actually thought it was a witty comment about catching the 'Night bus'. She did some ok tunes back in the day too. It was the extremely sarcastic way in which she added "Sha...

I agree. There'd be thousands of new members swamping the production forum asking "Where's the button in FL Studio to make 'dirty' vocals".

it was pretty obvious he wasn't going to win as soon as they said he hadn't turned up :( I sort of had a bad feeling about it at that point too. But you would have thought that the Mercury people could show a bit of imagination and just gone with it. It would have been some newsworthy controversy f...

I don't understand how you get people who watch it who are so seriously into it they are actually FANS of some of the people in it.
What's that all about?

How can you be a fan of a contestant that's on it?

I think that the poll options are just too limited.
There's just loads of stuff which isn't even provided as poll options.

From reading this thread I got the idea that nobody realised that 'This is England' was actually on TV an hour after the thread was started. It was on Film 4 at 9pm. I only say this because nobody who was posting on the thread appeared as though they were watching it while this thread was being pos...

I like wobble. I only think it's a problem if too many songs are based on it alone and nothing else. But it's only a problem in so far as much as those particular songs are concerned. In itself, no problem with it whatsoever. If used well it can really add to a tune. I just see it as method of anima...

In this day and age wouldn't you think that if somebody was the first person to upload a tune on a forum, that in itself should be evidence that it is their own music, considering that the date it was uploaded would prove that anybody who later uploaded a ripoff of it would need to have done so at ...

I don't know if anybody has seen this, but there was a TV show that used to be shown at about 2am on ITV called Sledge Hammer which spoofed cop shows and cop films and the main character was based on Dirty Harry. Anybody remember that? It was hilarious. :lol: Probably the best spoof TV show I've eve...
