and BFD2-2999 is the plugin alliance code for today and tomorrow, same deal as earlier.

Fuck it. Just took the plunge with Arturia V Collection. Love their stuff. That should be me finished with buying another soft synth for a lifetime.

303abuser

i looked at it after you mentioned it last week. if i didn’t have software already covering that territory, i’d probably buy it too.

Henry

It’s amazing mate. The CMI V is superb. Although will take me a lifetime to work it out. Really love what Arturia have done emulating the old synths.

303abuser

yeah i like their stuff. i bought a drumbrute a few weeks back because they were on sale for $300 (regular $489) and even that is pretty good for a budget analog drum machine.

Henry

Lovely looking bit of kit. The wooden sides finish it off a real treat. Would not look out of place in my Scandinavian (Ikea really) styled home.

303abuser

Henry i was surprised by how nice it is for the price. ultimately, i’m sure i’ll end up selling it to fund a rytm, dfam, or something similar, but it’s serviceable for now. i’m sure i could sell it for more than i paid too.

the drum machine i really want is the tanzbar, but they’re tough to find and expensive. the toms on that thing are the best though.

303abuser Recommend this for anyone who hasn’t already grabbed the everything deal.

in reference to the how evil is spotify discussion … in 2020 i spent hundreds of hours making music, 208 total hours of my tracks streamed on spotify, and earnings coming out to $6. 🤣

apyssjw

303abuser That’s about 170 hours and six dollars more than me 🙂 Will check out the new one in a minute.

I’ve got this one coming out in a couple of weeks. Will post up the bandcamp etc when it’s out.

out today on insectorama’s new compilation, K102 is a side project i’m working on with another really talented producer from switzerland. K102 will be a much more techno and dancefloor focused than my solo stuff. hope you like it and i’ve included the link for the comp on bandcamp as well, it’s free or pay what you want to support the label.

303abuser …nice one mate, sounding good

apyssjw …great work also!

303abuser

nothing for a while, then two in two days haha. this is my new solo record, dub for the dance floor.

apyssjw

303abuser liked it. Good luck with the labels. It’s a long road - I’ve found it’s become really hard to find those that will even listen to an unsolicited demo, regardless of whether they have a public facing submission process.

Unbroken1

…pretty heavy for my taste but the mix is terrific.

Finally getting my home studio in reasonable shape, may be back here for mixing tips soon.!

303abuser

Unbroken1 it’s definitely heavy, but thank you, getting the mix right is a real skill and i feel like i’m just starting to get consistent with it. sent my first cold call email with a demo to a label today, so we’ll see how that goes.

get it going, i’m looking forward to hearing what you come up with. and i’m not sure i have much advice to give, but always happy to help if i can. 🙂

Henry

That’s ace that chief. As is the K102 track. A couple of very solid releases.
Really like that faKtor.OST track on that release too. Need to check out that gadge’s other releases.

303abuser

thanks, glad you liked them. pascal and i really work well together and he pushes me toward a sound i really like. we actually finished helix back in june, just had it kicking around and this seemed like a good launch for us. if we keep working at the pace we have the last two weeks, we’ll have an album done by january.

i only got through the first 3 tracks on the comp yesterday, so i’ll keep an eye out for that one today.

303abuser

apyssjw thanks. and yeah, my expectations are low, i submitted to hello strange for their “story” compilation series. it’s probably my best record to date, but we’ll see. i’ll just self release it if no one wants to pick it up. submitting it is a bit of a measuring stick – good feedback is difficult to find, but if someone is willing to put their name beside your work, i think that means something.
