I think we shud add one of these for the quick reply button:

Lol the "pinned appreciation topic" description still didn't help the mods understand what you intended with this topic oopie

So, tell us, what was the worst audio hardware you've ever bought that u wouldn't recommend to anyone, not even to your worst enemies? Let me be the first to start off with my worst purchase: :posford: Terratec - Aureon 7.1 Universe (Sound Card) It cost me about cca 184$ , I should of settled with the Realtek onboard tbh . First thing thats really pissin me about this card is it's software. The updates come once every year, and even tho this card was on the market since '04, they only released "stable" drivers in middle '07. But stable isn't really the word. Here's why: #1 The master volume bar should not be touched, Ever! It really depends if you're lucky enough, because sometimes when u tweak with the master chan volume you either get what you want or the left channel just drops dead. Solution? Restart (wtf!? ). #2 If you want to turn on the "sensaura" mod in the control panel, which is used for enhancing audio effects in games, the only way to turn it off properly is to reinstall your drivers (whaaatt?!), otherwise the "Wave" channel volume faders allways follow the master chan, and theres no way to unlink them. #3 Another fancy thing is, if you want to change you're master clock, you better think hard before doing so, as you can only change it once. Once it's set, there's no coming back. Solution? Reinstall drivers. Ok, but enough about software. Let's talk about hardware: #1 What company has ever made such a mistake and release a product with Inverted Channels on the Front Panel's stereo headphone output. Yeah, I've talked to Terratec, and they said it really was their fault. They offered me a cable that would invert the channels from the Front Panel to the soundcard, they didn't want to explain to me how I can invert them myself tho, so I had to wait for 2 months to recieve a peace of cable they made. (oh and I had to pay for the mailing ofc) :/ #2 The Input lines of the front panel are plain useless, there's so much static in them I can't even hear me scream on the mike. So is there any good side to this awful sound card? Believe it or not there is, the ASIO latency is pretty low, and even with all those software problems it's very reliable when working with software sequencers. But at the cost of what? 184$ and a huge headache In short: Avoid this product at all costs! This company is known for the nickname Terrortec!

Aww this has to go to my top favs of psynews released Keep it up man. (Mods do yar job and move this to promotion so it gets more hits plz! )

Hey ITP! Thanx for sending me that album of yours btw. I'll have a listen to this track and review. Keep it individual

I've heard M-audio Revolution 7.1 is a good soundcard if your budget is limited right now. I've bought something of similar price, altho I shud of aimed for the m-audio one

and another ambient trip iI thought of wud be vibrasphere + monolake + astrotek astrotek is an amateur music artist, also he's my friend and im really fond of his music.

Oopyyyiez!!! Wheres shpongle...? Nevermind That looks like an interesting list, I'll dig into it, see if I like something of these

Ducci shud be the 'new mad one'

#1 Astral Projection - Another World #2 Etnica - Equator #3 Monolake - Plumbicon Versions #4 Vibrasphere - Selected Downbeats #5 Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works First 5 that poped into my mind. As you see I like alot of ambient

Did u forget to save it or did the file just dissapear? U could try using the proggy "Recover My Files" and try to restore the file. Get it here in case you saved but lost the file. It might still be recoverable. Good luck! p.s. use the "save new version" in the file menu of fl studio so this doesn't happen to you again. I allways have alot of versions of my project. I usually put a time stamp in the file name so I easly recognize when was the project from, what version it is

Oy! You kids shud go out sometimes, its saturday no... jk Id luv to hear... vibrasphere + aphex twin + shpongle to make one crazy-ass ambiental track

Hello there. Avin a hangover rite now. Music fits perfectly for this morning! Even tho I didn't quite like the basslines, but this track has great potential. Keep it up! And make sure u upload us the whole track when u finish it

Heddaway - What Is Love ! also u shud check my myspace here for some funnehz (got 3 albums of it )

I'd recommend following synogen's post here. Start out easy. Altho you've allready bought all this equipment. Eventually tho you will learn to use it all. It just takes time. However I wouldn't recommend starting out with Reaktor. It's like buying a spaceship, but never even driven a car before. I like the enthusiasm, how u said you were going to work on it for the whole next year. Usually when people start out with it, they realise how little they know, and how little they can accomplish because of that and then they just quit the whole idea of making music. But if you really want to start out with Reaktor, I'd recommend you read some basic intro books / manuals for it before attempting to do something big by yourself. That way you can start to understand the whole concept of this synth maker and slowly start to build up your own synths with it. Music making can be a lot of fun, but sometimes it can just piss you off when the software isn't doing what you're asking it to do. Don't let it put you down, if you're stuck, review what you've done and try to find an answer to your problems, don't give up . Hope it turns all well. Good luck with music making m8!

Nope i don't think so. It's the late 2 thousands u know **opens up time-travel machine doors** Welcome travellargh, when do you want to go today?

Dunno who made this one to be honest

This one's nice

Awesome album. I never heard them before so I never heard any of the tracks from compilations. This is quality material for sure (even if it's old, but old is gold rite?) !

I bet u used Reaktor for one of your songs? I get the feeling some sounds come out of it. Very nice Set, and very nice music. Maybe a tracklist?

Allready listening
