Indeed!

I used to play competitively 2 times a week and trained twice a week as well, I still play once a week but since my fitness/ability has majorly decreased since beginning producing.

Worth it though!

ah yes, was playing for club and high school back in the day. great fun, but it sucks not being able to burn off all of the shit i eat anymore

what position did you roam?

2) I'm lazy at sound design. I sit on a synth, twat about for a bit and unless I hit something interesting, I get frustrated and quit. I'll work on that.

noob

I'm too scared to drop the money to upgrade from Live 8 intro to Live 8 full.

noob

i am a preset whore

I cannot write a melody to save my life

i know nothing about actually structuring, arranging and producing a record, so i crack at it however i please and usually underwhelmed with my output

I liek tuttlez..

A little bit of success has made me a little less hungry. But fuck that.

im tempted to get logic

my sound design is appalling

my arrangements are often quite boring

i write far too slowly and far too sporadically


but im working on it

when ever i attempt a longish processing chain for a bass it ends up shit

I'm still on FL8 as I'm terrified if I connect my studio machine to the Internet again and try to update to FL11, it'll explode on me.

Keep a fire extinguisher on hand.

sometimes I smash my wobs so hard my monitors pop smh fml

It is, and I love it as though as it's a third hand.

Confession: I have a problem with using reverbs as direct channel inserts instead of sends.

Confession: I ask the question "what would [insert well-known producer] do at this point" more often then I probably should.

Confession: I often make broad generalized statements regarding the relative merits of analog vs. digital gear despite having absolutely no idea what I'm talking about.

Confession: Sometimes I use vengeance snares and kicks with no additional processing on them.

Confession: The first dubstep track I ever heard was scary monsters and nice sprites (not even joking on this one).

Confession: I place RMS values on a pedestal.

Confession: I often automatically follow conventional song structures and arrangement paradigms, without questioning whether or not these schools of thought should be challenged or modified. In other words, intro-buildup-drop-breakdown-buildup-drop-outro, every single track.

Confession: I have made multiple Katy Perry remixes.

Confession: I have about a 5% success rate when designing bass patches in FM8.

I use tweaked presets for probably about 40% of my synth sounds. Pretty much all of my basses are original patches but for pads and piano/keys stuff I usually find a nice preset and then do little tweaks to it. I never understood why people look down on this. If they're sitting there right in front of you, why not utilize them? And until I have the skills of a professional sound designer, I'd like to make use of their superior sound design skills. I mean I do sometimes make a pad or lead from scratch but usually tweaked presets end up sounding better. I never use a bare preset though, they're always altered in some way to make them my own.

I have on occasion converted wav's to 320's by burning them to a disk and then importing them back into my itunes. not sure if this even yields a proper 320 but it says it's a 320.

Whats wrong with that, if you rip into itunes in 320 why would it not be a proper 320? lol, It aint as if you are making 320s into wavs lol

why cant you just convert to 320 tho? or bounce out of your DAW to 320?
