Craig did you get my PM about Cubase? got a copy here for ya!

been messing round with FL the last few weeks., i make a nice start, leave it for a few days, come back to it and get bored and frustrated with the sounds/loops/arrangements ive made, start a new track... the standard samples sure are average.

i've also been chopping and sampling sounds from various sources. Made a start to a cool little boot from 'Metro Area - Miura' the other day; again got bored of it, started a new one. lol

really got to look into getting my hands on some sound packs. Been thinking about buying a big pack made by Joey Youngman / or as he is now known as "Wolfgang Gartner", called 'Jacked out Future House', big collection of his sounds and samples he used to use back when he was making deep house. Judging by some of his deep house work, there should be some great sounds in there

Hey mate. Nah didnt get a PM. Some1 else told me they sent a message and I didnt get it either. Something must be up with my messages. \ Ill have a look and sort it out.

I know what you mean about the tracks. I have plenty of unfinished tracks. Even once your fin you think of things you can add etc. Great fun, sometimes frustrating.

Im taking alittle break from producing and concentrating on Djing. haha seems we have done the opposite to each other.

Really want to save for a nice soundcard. Want crystal clear sounds with nice basslines. Cant seem to get it togehter with this card im using atm.

you're not the only one, i've tried to PM a couple of others without success... something must be up hey! I was just saying, i've got the steinberg pack here if you're keen, and can host it somewhere and flick you a link to grab it.

you after a nice soundcard for recording yeah?

Yeah im going to upgrade the whole box actually. Use it just for recording. Did some reading awhile back and found out simple things like modems, graphics cards etc can interfear with your recording. Only slightly but enough to worry about I guess.

Might go all out this time and get a decent card.

ah k got ya!

i happened to score a nice creative labs sound card from work a few years back- (nothing flash compared to whats out there today though), but the recording quality was fantastic compared to the onboard sound of my old motherboard! It has MIDI input, etc. Great for recording mixes, (which i reckon one is well overdue!)

im currently building a new rig too, it'll be multi purpose though. Adding pieces bit by bit as I want good quality / high end hardware, so costs are a lot higher than generic shit, and i cant afford to throw big $ at it all at once. Can't wait till its all up & running!

nice tune above too mate! Sounds very JD / Transitions material

yeah Ive got a creative labs card too. Was made for recording too. However It wont fit on the motherboard at the same time as my 9800gt vid card. Kinda stupid and pisses me off.

thats the reason Im gettin a new rig myself, better Motherboard etc.

yeah theyre pretty big cards those 9800's! thats something i need to consider when choosing graphics, if it will fit amongst other crap on the motherboard!

i bought one of these: http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Mother...?ProductID=2861

Bought it a while back now, its probably come down in price considerably now too.

I was reading a review somewhere and the writer described one of the downsides as having a big graphics card installed that blocked physical access to some onboard components...

see how i go though!

  • 1 month later...

Just lost my "audio drive" on the PC and the last 3-4 months of material on there too. I'll take my own advice next time and make sure I back it up!! :)

EDIT: Drive has appeared (don't ask) and I'm backing it up now

lol, lucky Steve. Thats a good enough reminder for me to back up my stuff, been too long since ive done it.

new tune Ive been working on.

Getting there.

Going all out this sat too Luke. Smoke machine. laser. strobe. Should be interesting/good

i had a quick listen to this at work earlier in the headphones, but just threw it on at then here at home through bigger speakers - sounds f&^ing great man! agreed Krish, cant wait to hear more of it! there are some awesome sounds in there

Saturday sounds like a big one mate, your neighbours are gonna hate ya. hahaha!

Hey you tried mixing up any of the deep house tracks you made yet Craig?

i've been working on something basic in FL in the past few weeks in bits and pieces. BIt more work and i reckon i'll throw up a preview. far from finished though

cheers mate.

Yeah the neighbors will be fine. Collinswood have really big blocks. One side is empty. :)

Been mixing alot of other people house tracks. havent really got into mixing my own. Wanna fine tune them all before mixing I reckon.

Gonna be fun producing with the new comptuter. Real fast. should be good for layering and mulitple sounds. Before it would almost freeze if I added a massive chord or technical sound.

those sorts of big sounds i haven't stuffed around with too much, interested to see how this current shitbox of a PC i'm on now will go.

FL hasn't crashed on me once yet, but i bet as the layers start piling up, performance will lack for sure!

Still been meaning to buy a sounds pack, just haven't gotten round to it! Had my eye on a Todd Terry collection, some wild samples in there. Definitely leaning toward the more housey sounds.

did you check out that short mix i sent ya a couple of weeks back?

cheers mate.

collinswood eh? im in manningham. i'd pop over and drink some beverages with ya if ur making it an open house

lol i got a creative so called 'recording card' but found it was a steaming pile of turd. snr ratio was well off and it didnt even do 96khz/24bit

-D

Creative cards have never been the best for recording more so because their ASIO drivers suck as do the convertors! Often guys won't record at anything over 48/24 or 88.2/24 bit anyhow.... at the end of the day it needs to be dithered for CD production. I know of no-one recording at 192/24 for example

Luciano - if you're doing all your stuff in the box, I have some cool samples and plugins if you're interested but you're going to need a PC with some balls first :(

Yeah mate had a listen. Liked it too. was nice and techy in parts. which I love. real deep too. nice work

Dohmar. yeah mate. If your keen to hear some music come round. Sat night. Should be a good night. By then end it will be messy with mixing all over the shop, but that's half the fun.

cheers Craig! like i mentioned, was a slapper of a mix - not knowing the new tunes properly yet.

And no shit - i havent touched the decks since that night!

    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment.
