It never ceases to amaze me what passes for music these days.

Tell that to John Cage etc. You need to broaden your horizons (and definitions) a bit, I think.

YOU CAN'T HEAR THE WORDS AND IT HASN'T GOT A BEAT YOU CAN TAP YOUR FOOT TO. KIDS TODAY UH?

Sounds pretty good to me

It's not sounding awful to me, but as a Blur enthusiast any crumbs from the table generally please me.

I heard a bit of the Mark E. Smith track on the radio, that was good.

I like it. Definitely hasn't got the instant appeal of Demon Days, it's a slow burner. A few too many features perhaps, but most of them are implemented in interesting ways.

>>3678

That's not a bad tune at all, but on the subject of production, you need to hold off on your compression/limiting - there's no dynamic range at all there, you need to give everything room to breathe.

You are by no means the only person to do this, and indeed this is a technique that remains alive today in professional recording but it's one that needs to stop.

>>3679
Cheers, I don't actually have any compression though, and the limiter peaks at like -5dB...is that a lot? Maybe i just need more subtle background instruments.

>>3688

That sounds fine but if everything is being limited you get the same effect - it sounds to me like everything is hitting above the limit, thus everything is getting squashed - the equivalent of shoving a handful of different coloured play-dough into a brick wall, if you pardon the metaphor. It's something you never really perceive but it basically means listening to it is going to make peoples ears fatigue - I'll admit I might not even have picked up on it if I wasn't looking at the waveform, but you can see that in sections the wave is going as far as it can go. If it were me I'd just take every track down a few dB so they're not all hitting the limiter, and it should give everything room to breathe. Disclaimer though : I'm not an expert, it's just something I always used to do until someone told me what I was doing wrong.

>>3517
Me again, got two new songs up on my soundcloud and myspace page, wouldn't mind some good ole anonymous feedback.

http://soundcloud.com/blindedwarlords

The songs are Blotter and Skanky Bassline, not really the most amazing names but it will do.

>>3678

I really really fucking like that. Real nice broski.

>>3756

No. It has been ruined by the Department for Work and Pensions, among other organisations, where it is played to people on hold. There's nothing like a crackly, faded version of a song played endlessly to put you off an artist.

I used to dig Vivaldi. I really liked Summer especially, but now as soon as I hear that first bar of Spring I sort of twitch and remember how sweaty the side of my face got that one time when I held the phone to it for too long trying to squeeze some competence out of the DWP.

>WE BUILT THIS CITY

Oh, fuck you.

>>3748
I feel your pain.

This video is worth it just for the shots of the audience, all corduroy and beards.

>>3749

I've always loved this song, just for the line that goes 'You wanna know if I can dance....well I already told you in the first verse' Brilliant.

And yes, the audience does make it look like a geography teachers convention.

I refuse to believe this could ever have been a commercial success in this country and it certainly couldn't now.

As a person with 90% South African heritage, I found out today that 'Die Antwoord' is Afrikaans for 'The Answer'.

'What is shit?' being the question.

Are you that beardy bloke who always looks smacked of his tits in Rios?

>>3711

No. I will cop to being in this ensemble however -

That might be me, but then again it might be half of Rio's.

Are the other two noise fags from britchan's /mus/ here?

>>3724

Be more vague m8

While we're here does anyone know the name of that psy-trance song that was kindof-but-not-really-that-big in 2005? Most people were playing it.
It sort of goes ba-doom-a-dooma-tish. I'd really like to know what it was.

>>3724

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_number-one_singles_from_the_2000s_%28UK%29#2002

Just go through them one by one on youtube.. till you find it (as long as it was a number 1...)

>>3727

>I don't think it was a number one

It must've been between September and March too cos it was cold.

wrong

That depends on what you want, what you'll be doing, and how much you know.

Thomann is good for building your own rig, but somewhere like Dolphin Music would be better for getting a pre packaged or portable rig, or even just for advice on what you should get, as there are live advisors and things, who are very helpful, normally.

I think Dolphin will even look at your order before they ship it, and ring you if they think you might have ordered something wrong (e.g. if you had ordered a pair of huge speakers and a pair of tiny speaker stands, they would make sure you hadn't made an error in judgement before shipping) which is nice, but also quite annoying if you do know what you're doing, and some fucker rings up and says 'yeah, that eight grand order you placed? Nahhh, it'll never work, mate!'.

Anyway, either do that, or go into more detail here.

>>3671

I want to know how to get great vocoder stylings like he has there.

The main thing missing from my (admittedly lacklustre, since I'm normally a metalhead) electronic tunes is some kind of vocal focussing point. I'm struggling to give my songs a meaningful yet concise structure as instrumentals.

>>3702

The vocoder bit sounds like a talkbox going through a ring modulator or two. That's not what it is as there's no talkbox though...

>I want to know how to get great vocoder stylings like he has there.

Me too. Also, be interested to know how much bass he can generate live that stylee. Ask Justice, I would guess.

Beardyman is still miles better, I think.

Ask him in the comments, he replies. I once had a nice chat with him about how he would be good at Dubstep

OP's pic looks like an alien caricature of Paul Mccartney

I spent all last night with this stupid groups lyrics in my head. As much as I kept thinking "GAH I WISH THEY WOULD JUST OD GTFO" I began to think otherwise. This group is perfect. I hope they become mainstream. I hope (doubt it) that they become as big as any other rap band in the UK and US. Why?

Think about it, this group could single handed put rap back in it's place and prove that it's a annoying brainwashing load of horseshit. Both songs shared on this site (and the ones hitting 4chan) are nothing more than catchy crap sung/preformed by 3 mentally retarded... (k, two mentally retarded) people. The DJ who has that condition is probably IQ 150 or better. Then again, who knows or cares.

SO RAP ON DIE ANTWOORD!!! Put RAP back into a 4-letter word status.

Honestly though, it's probably just britfa.gs and 4chan monkeys that are interested in this junk anyhow.

BTW, for those who love this group. I can see why. They do have some "skill". However I can go beat the shit out of a mailbox and throw it into the street. Does it accomplish much more than making a lot of noise and showing off a useless skill? No, and neither does this groups music.

>>3715

Shut the fuck up, now.

Baker Street still gets me now. Even the jazzed up early nineties remix which fucking annoys me.

Massive Attack, Unfinished Sympathy is another. I can repeat that mofo over and over and never get bored.

>>3525

Pretty much everything Florence Welch has done has been remixed to fuck and back. I used to think she was such a screechy cow. Seiji's remix of Drumming Song, and the Leo Zero rmx of Rabbit Heart in particular are two of the better ones.

There are over 9000 remixes of "KIll" so good luck OP - was it another dubstep job?

I did actually get hooked on In For The Kill because of the Skream remix.
Also, as much as I hate to say it, the PoleJR remix of Chocolate Rain made me hate the original alot less.

The bit that Alicia Keys sings in Empire State of Mind is so fucking catchy, the rest of the song is utter wank however

>>3540

I own the jazzed up early nineties one. it infurates me because I wanted it to be better and it's crap.
