    Why You Make Music

    in Music Making and Production/Industry

    Posted

    As a kid my dad bought me a air organ, on which I tought myself several oriental melodies, since I come froman oriental background. Then this organ was collecting dust till it disappered, I don't know anymore what happend to it.

    As teenager (in 70s and 80s) I felt very much drawn to pink floyed and michael jackson's music, which prompt me to make my own selection cassettes. In late 80s I was introduced into prodigy and Jean Michel Jaar and hiphop, which I liked very much and again selection tapes. In early 90s I was exposed to Speed and MDMA in conjunction with house and Rave music, which catapulted me into the obssesion for electronic beats. The next music genre was acid goa which I was partying heavily on, of course accompanied by MDMA and speed. The early fast Goa sound wasn't realy apealing to my ears, till I discovered the early psytrance, on which I for the first time dared to take LSD. That was then my destiny written on stone, that I want to make this music, realizing my own ideas. And I still take LSD on very few parties I go on, but I am now very picky which party I go on not wasting my time. And I don't do drug while making music or playing out, since it gets me out of focus........my little story.... ;)

    Why You Make Music

    I can relate to this, my job is a bore and doesn't use any (well 1%) of my brainpower.

    I can got totally engrosed into making music and forget everything else.

     

    I think after a year of not having a studio put together I was remembering why I first started.

     

    you don't need a studio..... All you need is a PC, a DAW, 2 LCD monitors, monitors, and software instruments and sampler OR a laptop and a head phone ...But you know that :rolleyes:

    I make music because my professional job sucks, but I have to do it for money. I will reduce my working days soon from 5 to 4 days a week, inorder to produce a music that has a -8% sales factor ;)

     

    I make music because it is an infinite challange and possibilities, and it is the infinite joy.

     

    Why are you asking this question , man? Do I ask you why you breath? :ph34r:

    Oh ya, my bad :rolleyes:

     

    It depends if you wanna mix your tracks live or just wanna play your tracks through your laptop.

     

    in the first case I would get a smaller interface with 2xIN and 2x Out @ 24 bit from a reputable company like RME, Tascam or Motu, which is cheaper. In the second case I would go with motu or RME depending on your budget. Don't get PCMCIA card, there is a risk of banging it somewhere and break the card and the socket. Get USB2.0 or firewire. They are both good.

    Ok, in the near future I'll be getting myself a laptop. Im planning to use it for production and live performance. What sound card(s), in your opinion/experience, are ideal? Price be damned, external or internal, gimme an idea what I should be looking at.

     

    go with a high spec Vaio, Dell or MacBook Pro . Period.

    It will take some SERIOUS time to finish this one, but thats ok, Time is all we have a lot of hehe :)

    What are you doing for living , man? I admire you that you got so much free time. I got a very delicate fulltime job that interferes with my music making. I come home like a dead corps and eat and then realise howmuch I was drained by people and work. I will cut it down to 3 days a week soon to produce some serious tracks.:)

    How is this lead made?

    How is a lead different from a melody, or are they the same thing?

     

    IMHO there is a difference as far as Goa/Psytrance concerns.

     

    I see melody as a note sequence, which consists of a broad variaty of single short notes at a very slower speed in contrast to the groove or background beat, like you hear in old school goa tracks. The modern psytrance lacks this feature. Instead you have a fast note progression, which doesn't vary alot and is sometimes even faster than the groove/beat.

    Nice job man, sounds great. I don't suppose you'd be willing to say how it was made? Like the pattern sequence that you used? Im curious how that was made as well.

     

    Thanks man. Why not telling? I hate Jealousy. Check back a bit later ;)

     

    I like your nickname. Decease is cool :ph34r:;) I'm thinking, if I should call myself Candida Albicans or Herpes or somethin :lol:

    Hi guys,

     

    Already spent hours to reverse-engineer this lead. Before spending another n hours, please share the know-how that is already around, how to make this twisted lead.

    I know it is a FM lead which is cut off modulated, but how do I get the precision.

    Is it live tweaked from a basic pattern( too fast to do that)?

    Is it automated(too much micro editing)?

    Are the notes arrangend with some fast portamento?

     

    How th f* is it made? And how is it controlled?

     

    Thanks :angry:
