So what about artists who write commercial music (whether in-scene or outside it, such as adverts or computer games) in order to fund the music they really want to make?

"Anger and discontent is caused by frequent disappointment"... works both ways... are you surprised if, in order to stop the disappointment, some artists choose to write music that actually has a chance of bringing in some sort of material reward?
It's a good job I like ramen noodles...

Please take my opinion with a pinch of salt, as I have two tracks on it, but when I saw it I was pretty impressed. The images on the website really don't do it justice.

Nice vibe.

Jesus I hope to fuk you guys like the OOOD album when it eventually comes out. You're a hard bunch to please!

Supportive thoughts from most people.
A kick in the nuts from someone in the scene.
My signature says it all.
I admire your courage and wish you all the best.
Keep in mind that being a musician is a job. And as any job it require hours and hours of dedication, study, patience.
Go big.
Yes, and who is being most realistic? Only time will tell.

Good luck Andy. You're one of the real creative people in the trance scene at the moment. It'll be difficult but you just have to keep on keeping on... I know you can make it work, you have a great attitude. All the best man!

Thing is, Basilisk, it's very easy to say "just don't work with these people" but often you only find out what sort of person they are when it's too late. Kris and Andy's recent rants have both found resonance in what I've been thinking and feeling of late too... there is such a limited range of music at most festivals and parties that acts which are just slightly different from the mainsream like Voice of Cod - who released what was supposedly one of the better albums of 2005 - have no bookings whatsoever at any parties or festivals outside our own country this year (and only one coming up in the UK) despite repeated promotional mailouts to organisers by our management and personal contacts from ourselves. We spent 18 months on that album; poured our heart and souls into it; sometimes though it feels like it was all for nothing. Why should we bother if people don't want to hear it?

I feel your pain.

You added me to your MSN yet?

[not 100% serious]
I reckon they're aiming for a big push into mainstream consciousness. Remember the publicity when that metal band were sued by the parents of those kids - fans - who committed suicide? Everybody knew their name after that. Except me, who can't remember which band it was... which maybe proves a point in itself.
Anyway.
Perhaps IM are waiting to get sued by a group of Brazilian parents saying "my kid went to mental hospital because Infected Mushroom told him to become insane"... the resulting publicity would see them become household names and the resulting record sales would make them and their record label rich people.
[/or am I?]

Keep it. If the album's any good it might be worth a bob or two in ten years time.

1) Hahahahaha whatever.
2) I was talking about studio equipment.

Yes, that's a Promix 01... I'm not using it as a control surface as it's too clumsy - there's no easy way of knowing which bank of faders it's controlling! I've used it as one before though, and to write automation for other things but nowadays I use the knobs on the Nord instead. I don't have much experience with control surfaces but anything that will emulate a Mackie Control should do most of what you need - and there are a few cheap examples out there if you look for them. And leave my old cock out of this.
Small is beautiful smith, small is beautiful. As your girlfriend no doubt keeps reassuring you.
You can program it fine - it's the Matrix 1000 that you can't program from the front panel (although I think it'll take sysex). In a sense you're right though; you can't program the one in the photo. I switched it on yesterday to get some flashing lights for the photos above and it seems to be dead
The power cable comes loose sometimes on that thing though so I'm hoping that's all it is.Bricks and Blutack
It's all about getting the cone moving, not the cabinet. Anyway it's not how it looks, it's how it sounds, and my room does pretty fucking good - I'm very lucky indeed; I've had very flattering comments from People You Know And Respect about the acoustics in here, and I luuurve my speakers

Select 8-bar's worth of kick-drums, right-click: Audio -> Events to Part
Your kicks are now inside an 'audio part', which is basically a container that groups a one or a number of audio events together as one. You can edit the clips inside it by double-clicking, which brings up the audio part editor, and remove the part (returning the clips to the arrange window as they were before) by right-clicking Audio -> Dissolve Part.
A 'ghost copy' is a copy of an object that refers to the same data as the original; ie. if you change the copy, the original changes too, and vice versa. Very useful for repeated riffs, eg. long stretches of similar kickdrums.
Where the default key modifier for a normal copy is alt-drag, the default SX modifier for a ghost copy is shift-alt-drag. Ghost copies are distinguished by italic names. If you want to make a change to just one ghost copy and leave the rest as they are, you can convert the ghost part to a real part by selecting it and right-clicking Edit -> Convert to Real Copy; any changes you now make to this object are not reflected in the other copies. It's vitally important that you keep track of which parts are ghost copies and which are real, as it's easy to mess up your track badly by making large changes to ghost copies without converting them to real ones first. Used properly however, they are an incredibly powerful tool. -
If I might make a suggestion, using audio parts to group together eg. 8 bars worth of kickdrums, instead of having each one on its own in the arrange window, would make things much easier to handle and edit - ghost parts even more so.

I'm playing a DJ set soon an I'd love to play one old track, but unfortunately it is like 13 years old
and as you can imagine production is not really great. If I play it after newer tracks it sounds much quieter and doesn't have that punch like newer productions. Would any of you fine sonic wizards be kind enough to play with this song and clean it up for me a bit? Basically, I'd like to have it cleaned up a bit, increase the volume/punch without losing quality. I know I can play with it and make it sound a little bit better on my DJ mixer when I play but I think there is too much difference between this song and newer stuff in terms of sound quality, especially lower end frequencies, so it will take some expert to do it in a studio. Unfortunately I don't have equipment and knowledge to do it.
Thanks a lot in advance
It's not like I haven't got a million things I should be doing instead, but yousend it to me and I'll see what I can do.
Power Source is back!
