  • Yo there is something that is “the top of its class” within every genre… take Caravan Palace for instance… they had a new genre named after them.

    Also remember that looser Skrillex that only makes weird old telephone noises and wub wubs well believe it or not that guy is actually one of the best sound designers in the world… he’s responsible for inventing all sorts of new shit, he still makes music too! He is legitimately on a quest for fire

    There’s a whole lot of people that like to say “mixed really well” I mean no disrespect but what do you know about mixing?


  • Caravan palace - Parisian band that started as three collaborative music producers one being a singer. They all shared love of Django reinhardt and big band swing jazz and started by making music for a silent adult film. In my mind they are responsible for creating the genre they are associated with… “Electro Swing”… although every other attempt at the electric swing genre by other artists has fallen completely flat on its face in my ears…

    The Album “Panic” is a newage Jazz masterpiece

    The Presets- One of the biggest and most mesmerizing acts to come out of the Australian edm scene. If you apreciate sound design than…

    the album “Hi-viz” is delightful in so many ways

    Childish Gambino- The actor from the show community who single handedly created the award winning show Atlanta also became a Grammy award winning artist

    The album “Redbone” is his magnum opus… a smooth mix of hip hop, and psychedelic jazz rock

    Matt Mays - my hometown hero, a songwriting style akin to Sam Robert’s with a keen ear for using extremely experimental recording techniques.

    The album “When the Angels Make Contact” - recorded in a world renowned studio, located inside a pharmacy building that stood tall after directly facing the Halifax explosion. The album is a mix of artists making music for a movie that lost funding and was scrapped… the artists all led by Matt Mays finished the music for the non existent movie anyway.


  • Yea I decided to put presonus eris 3.5s on top of my adam a7xs with eris sub… i run line outs from my apollo twin to the erisis and main LR to the Adam’s… this has been alot of fun seeing what kind of crazy good sounds I can get from my new wall of sound… so far it only seems like a good idea, everything is in phase and I’m having fun… does anyone have insight as to why that would be a bad idea?



  • I dont know where your getting sarcasm… try to picture a waveform that’s connected directly to the analog source; perfect example is a seismagraph as it is the same technology… that is a waveform connected directly to the source of the energy in this case the rumblings of the earth. There is enough mathematical data within those waveforms to develop the Fast Fourier Transfer algorithm which is responsible for basically all computational process that happen today.

    Do you think if you replaced the smooth waveform data with jagged microscopic 90 degree angles ie (samples) the Fast Fourier transform would still work?


  • Your missing something in your understanding of dynamics i think… your focused on total spl dynamics but there is an inner dynamic that alot of people seem to get confused about. If you look at the masterbus of a mix you have one continuous waveform. That waveform holds the information for all the instruments in the track. And there is only so much spectral information that can come out of your speaker at one time. What you hear in analog seeing as analog is essentially infinite medium is instruments dancing within their own dynamic ranges as opposed to digital which grabs everything together as a whole and tells it when to go up and down.

    The white noise you hear on lps is not “noise” in a traditional sense it’s “noise” that allows your cortex to fill in the gaps so to speak.

    The analog to digital digital to analog conversion has spent its entire existence trying to replicate the sound of being analog and to many people such as myself there is still something missing.

    The analog to digital conversion takes a waveform of infinite mathematical density and takes forty four thousand one hundred samples of voltage every second and depending on your bitrate, a certain amount of cpu memory is dedicated to the dynamic range between each of those individual samples of voltage. If your computer can’t think fast enough well thats distortion, if your in 192k and your file is 44.1 that’s distortion, if your computer needs an update that’s distortion, then you got compression algorithms, faulty wordclocks… half the time people don’t even realize that their digital files have been severely compromised because they can’t hear for shit anyway. Cds are 44.1 16bit and some of them sound fucking fantastic but vhynl still sounds better
