    Default Mid-Week Geeks..!

    What's new...? There must be some goss.

    I'm having fun observing half a dozen cowboy plumbers trying to re-route some plumbing after the existing shit pipe from the toilets to the drain had frozen solid. Basically there is 140 metres of frozen shit attached to the outside of our building....

    Luckily it's not for our toilets and we are ok.

    I'm torn between doing some work, and bunking off for the whole day to produce a mix tape for a party that I'm not going to tonight...

    Must admit, I find drum programming really tough.

    Fifty quid, or 50 grand?

    £50.00 - Spruce up the desk a bit, get a decent set of trays and such basics, plus a cheap DAB radio

    £50,000 - Er, there's no way you can spend that much money on a 5 foot square area...

    Going back, yeah it can be quite laborious. You can spend ages putting together a 1 bar loop, then realise you need dozens of loops to build a full track. But once such complexities are over and you have a good bank, it's great fun experimenting with filters and effects etc.

    Naturally I prefer live drums, and Midi links to the PC mean loops can be thrown together in seconds. although they may need tweaking as they are never as accurate as digitally produced drum machine stuff. The natural playing may sound better, but it's no good for sequencing to bass lines or whatnot. What software are you dabbling with..?

    Yeah we'll defo have a mess about some time........Then lay some tracks.
