  1. This just in: possible suspect identified as Dynamic Mike
  2. Good point; I was just trying to find a pun. Though I suppose technically you could do something in breach of GPL2 (which it's licensed under)
  3. Does every member get a voucher? or are there conditions, e.g. minimum time as a member; minimum total amount spent; etc. ?
  4. I'm very sorry for your loss. As bitflipper mentioned, don't hold back on making music if you feel you can; I read somewhere that creativity triggers chemicals in the brain that can help you to feel better.
  5. The most worrying thing about this is that I've known some people who look like that troll
  6. This is a good song Douglas. I think this has previously been mentioned, but it sounds to me like the cymbal crashes (open high hats?) when played successively are a tad loud, causing the compressor to pump the sound a little. Other than that minor point, it's a good mix. Thanks for sharing!
  7. Thanks @freddy j
  8. Thanks everyone; I'm glad you thought it was a good listen. Thanks Michael. It's good to know that the hours I've put into this hobby over the years have made me better at it. [Either that, or my newer plugins just sound good regardless of what settings I dial in 🙂]
  9. When it matters aim for the stars, even if you end up flat on your face; that way, at least you'll know you tried. (Disclaimer: just try and minimise the distance if you fall)
  10. Really good song. Couldn't really hear anything bad with the mix.
  11. Just in time; I've been really impressed with their piano tones, and have been wanting a glockenspiel/celeste for an upcoming project
  12. So far I've been using Overloud's Tapedesk on my songs, with an instance on each (and every) track and bus, meaning that my project will typically have somewhere between 10-40 instances (as well as other plugins) active. Is this how IK's tape machines would be used, or is it a case of just using it on the master bus? I've heard that CPU usage is a little high.
  13. I too forgot to make use of the voucher first time; Doh! Managed to get Sandman for free though 🙂
  14. Great tune LadyFuzztail. Lots of energy and movement, with percussion filling in many sonic gaps. I enjoyed that!
  15. Some of you may remember this one; I thought I might redo a tune I did a few years ago, using some plugins I recently added to my collection. As usual, comments and feedback are welcome. Enjoy, and comment/like/subscribe if you feel inclined! or...
  16. Thanks for listening, and for the kind words, @Joad
  17. Hi all I'm currently thinking about getting a cheapish MIDI expression pedal for the studio (only), and I've currently narrowed it down to two choices: Nektar NX-P M-Audio EX-P Does anyone have any experience with either of these, or recommendations for any other pedals? Thanks
  18. Useful advice to keep in mind for my next orchestration; thanks for the tip! Also, thanks for listening LadyFuzztail. Glad you enjoyed it.
  19. Thanks. I could have tightened up the timing, but felt that keeping things loose (for the first section) with an instrumentally sparse arrangement felt more intimate and emotionally moving. Thanks for the comments and for listening everyone. Glad you liked it.
  20. Nice song; sort of reminds me of the Proclaimers Catchy melody and chord progressions, with a well played guitar solo; well done!

    Flows

    Nice tune @Wookiee Calm and flowy, with (as you say) little surprises every now and then to shake things up a little, especially the drums towards the end. Thanks for sharing.
  22. I was recently entertaining the idea of getting a pad controller, and did some online research. For the quality/sensitivity of the pads, the conclusion of a video group review I saw was that of the 'cheap' controllers, the Maschine Mikro mk3 was the best; the Presonus ATOM came next. For the very best in pad quality, you'd need to go for a (full) Maschine. Apparently, the Mikro mk3 had slightly less sensitive pads, and was occasionally prone to double triggers (whereas the full Maschine didn't). It's a shame really, as not everyone has the budget/space for a full Maschine.
