Ok but even with good ref monitors mastering with that program is a headache. I started there too, but now I'll be damned if I can run it on my current systems. One's Win XP, other one is Leopard. I was going to try running a 95 emulator after I retrieve some old mods off of zip drives I haven't been able to access in ages.

But even back in the day I used Sound Forge for the normalization and final eqing and compressing.

I'm convinced he says "Bitch I'm white" before one of the choruses. Confused the hell out of me.

Quand tu prépares tes cupcakes, sois certain de chiller les moules de cupcake dans le frigo pour qu'ils gardent bien leur forme et qu'ils soient doux.

Yeah but if I may man, you already seem to have anger and hostility problems, and some sort of persecution complex that you cover up with megalomaniacal statements. Stop being so textbook. You can use angry music for catharsis or get swept up in the roles artists play in their expressions. You've got to realize that expressions are just that, and are not representations necessarily of truth and/or basic philosophy so much as expressions of an idea, a story, or an emotional response to circumstances. Creativity would be stagnant in general if we were all forced to refrain from using profanity, shock, passion, anger, what have you... you can't just say that something is juvenile because of what it represents for you and how you relate to it.

This is why I love agressive and insane music. It's cathartic, which is important in purging negative cycles from one's life, and it's complex and intricate, which to me is a testament to the intellectual's repressed hostility in an illogical world. It's not just take speed, freak out, and get angry for nothing for me, nor is it for a lot of other people.

The big problem used to be 4-MTA or PMA being sold as ecstasy. PMA would make you feel like you were coming up non stop but it would never level out, so people would pop more thinking that it would finally kick in instead of building, and they'd wind up in a coma or worse, dead, from heart complications or more commonly from severe dehydration.

Now I'm not so sure... the testing kits that I used to be spoiled with in Toronto aren't readily available out here and I haven't been doing enough drugs to test anything. It's sort of less fun when you'd rather just not do anything of the sort and get your life on track instead.

Noooooooooo... dem sum qualitee moves.

I knew he'd switch sexes eventually. How's your mom going to deal with the Daleks, given that your dad is Davros?

yo wut up, dis is bangin and shitz is all over the innernets.



f'reals y'all i best be seein y;alll fleks yo stanky leggs next jam

I like the everything bagel, goes with any sort of crotch rot stank.

Belgium is breakcore / hardcore central too... I have a bunch of friends up there on Berzerk label, including Simon Korfunkle, Alcahest, and some other nutters. That's also where the dirty-dreaded raggacore pioneer known as Bong-Ra is located.

Excellent! Now what we need is the forum section so that we can keep any work on this stuff organized... but seriously, we can't work with only mods... that only represents a small, geeky minority of producers. Try to master in Impulse Tracker. Can't be done...

Also, how much of that stuff is local talent? And how much of it is actually any good? You better not have "Trash Collector" in the mods section for Fast- or Pro Tracker. So 1998.

Anyway, I hope that you aren't dismissing the idea Noah, I can't understand what's stopping you, because those extra costs per month are totally affordable by community members. Really, we need to push what's going on here instead of spinning records from elsewhere, which any marketing dude will tell you is nothing more than advertising for other labels/cities. I would put the work in on this sort of site and I hope you know I'm not just blowing hot air.

Come on man, I designed that avatar... thanks for the publicity but that's not an insult in the slightest, it's like slapping me with a noodle. Try harder, buddy.

Oh and, your mom is so skanky she gave each of her intestinal worms its own room in her colon and smokes crack with them occasionally.

I never said anyone who didn't want to get hurt had to get hurt. Slam dancing is fun for those who are into it. Get mad drunk and high, trash about to insanely complex breakbeat hardcore sometime, you'll know what I mean.

We should have a section called "Insult Arena"... devoted entirely to flamewars. Try to drive people to suicide with "DO IT FAGGOT" and we can maybe have the kind of shitty internet that is everywhere else.

Seriously, I'm glad that's over... why doesn't anyone ever get it, that you don't have an online rep to protect and you don't have to rebuff everything all the time?

Wow, it's great how you can post an almost explicit mussel shot and have everyone agreeing. Lack of positivity? Only if you're delusional.

Dee's mom once got into a fist fight with Screwhead's mom and the result of the fight was Version.








Not sure how. Didn't think that far into the joke.

We'd have to start small I suppose. I would ideally think this would have different sections pertaining to the most popular DAWs and another section with general file formats including .wav, .aiff, .ogg, .mp3, .m4a, .snd and perhaps even .mod, .it, .xm, all that oldskool tracker shit, because I know some of you use that stuff (and well).

The idea at first should be to encourage involvement across a broad spectrum of genres and perhaps push for innovative directions in crossovers (which is inevitably where a lot of the new bold ideas come from imho). We could start with base files and compare end results, have a regular update of .flp or .alv (I'm tired, can't remember if that's the Ableton format or not), .rex files I guess as well, max/msp patches, Reaktor patches, vsts... the tools are there, and I can't understand how anyone can speak of scenes when hardly any of the regulars here are involved in any sort of local label/scene work. Most of the labels are out of town, some that are here are fledgling and well, we don't know who they are...

Which brings me to another point - discussion of new releases in a section on the site, because we are all after all buying records to spin, separated by popular genre, discussion of labels for music, categorized into sub-forums, and all sorts of infrastructure to make the music, which you all know is first and foremost before any misguided sense of "community politics", the focus of the site. Enough with the garbage.

Would that sufficiently add new life and positivity to the so-called "scene" which I can't really establish parameters for and hence have no belief in?

Probably not. But it's worth a try.

I heard you fucked your mom.

Sorry was that a second?

Build what where?

Wow, good for you. Rave on!

I like the ridiculously hard shit, and I don't care how impossible it is to mix. It's like Merzbow with breaks or something. I still rather like violent slam-dance pits a lot more than colourful rave rehashes...

That said this city has a wicked drum and bass scene, the guys in KO keep it happening, as does my man Recoil, a man with a record for everyone...

Mad props!

Well you can always count on a toasted bagel to keep your junk warm.

We need a musical collaboration page, with hosting ability for small wav/aif files. Sample trading, remix exchanges, stuff like that, categorized slightly but mostly by thread. The possibility to host audio snippets or whole files if necessary without having to play them through the radio function, etc. This section could host workshops for different genres of music as well as provide a boost to local creativity. That would truly feed the so-called scene(s), not this b.s. chatting about moral values for a non-scene.

I had a few ideas here and there about how this could be organized. Noah, could you do it? Would you? If not, why not?

Also, producers, do you care to invest time and energy into something of that sort or does it benefit nobody? Is this the wrong place for it?

Discuss. Like adults please.

Ah well... that blows if it's true, the urban legend I heard was that the effects were old school and that a bunch of extras puked.

I have too many obscure jokes about the meth-addled Toronto Jungle scene but most of them have to do with mcing. And it's not so much drum and bass that had this problem, which has always sort of been associated with lounge music down there, at least by the junglists. At least, however, there isn't any shit mcing over it.

yeah didjoo evar here that rekkid it goes :I am the jungleist soljah, fightin to keep da jungle alive?

Ah yes, of course, Moondragon. Weird character, really.

Love the double update. It's like Johnny Two-times.

I saw that murder sequence (the Russian guys) and it traumatized me horribly. The gurgling made me sick, literally. I was shaking when my gf got home, three hours later. I felt truly horrid but I felt the need to see it to test my sense of humanity. I wanted to know what kind of creep does this sort of thing, but the truth was far scarier than I realized.

Gaspar Noé by comparison is a true artist, a person capable of creating traumatic imagery without having to do anything reprehensible. That is, unless you find his honesty unsettling. The scene with the oxygen tank was apparently a bit of guerrilla filmmaking... the people at the spa didn't know it was fake so those are truly mortified reactions you're seeing.

Your mom is so fat, she like, goes to the fridge, and she like um opens it and um... she like, eats everything that's in it and then um... yeah, she stops eating and then she gets hungry again and like buys more food and then she eats it all and when you come home you don't have any food and she's like "sorry, I'm so fat I like um. Ate all the food." LOL

Bonus points if anyone can name the members of the Defenders. I don't think I entirely remember but it looks like Beast and the Silver Surfer along with that bald chick whose name I don't recall.

Please don't take my attempts at humour too seriously, I don't want you to think I'm sitting here fapping waiting for delivery.









Even if I am, I mean, can you type this precisely with one hand?

Top left. (prison joke)

Your mom was so hungry and poor that one day she ate most of your potential brother then made stew the next day... remember that goulash back in 87? That wasn't beef.

Your mom is your dad, and your birth happened via her asshole.

This was something I noticed back in June, when I officially decided I was done with K. I did some and was up for two days. Suspicious. If you don't feel sedated and tripped out after a bump of k, well, it ain't k, kids. Do your homework if you want to go druggin'.

Overseer = officer. It's KRS-1, he made me do it.

Your mom was the "dicknose" referred to on the "what you lookin at, dicknose" shirt in Teen Wolf.
