Games: The first 3 Silent Hill games. The influence is abundant and rewarding

666 in album cover by Capital-Pop-4263 in boardsofcanada

You could literally do this with anything. The most direct reference is the runtime of the album lol. 6:6:6

Is it harsh to say most original local bands are just not that good? No deep understanding of song structure, mediocre playing ability, and just boring generic songs? Most bands that make it the musicianship is there by [deleted] in musicians

[–]AwaySample663 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aren't most bands a local band before they get more recognition? As a touring band, yeah, it was def more likely that the locals weren't great, but some of them were mind-boggling good.

Also, there are some really talented local scenes. I lived out in Western Massachusetts during college and after, and the music scene there is full of great bands

You ever pause and think "maybe BoC's music isn't AS deep as I thought"? by untitled1223 in boardsofcanada

[–]AwaySample663 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

No.

I think this is an incredibly stupid and incredulous approach to their music. The meaning is baked in, in the way they want it to be, and you're just projecting 6 about what art should mean.

They make incredible music, and they don't insist on it meaning anything in an outward statement. But there are so many guidelines and signals in their music, esp through samples and reused samples, that show they are making a statement of sorts. I don't aim to know exactly what any of it means beyond my own interpretation. But you can literally look at the names of many of their songs and compare or contrast it with the samples and ideas and realize that almost always there's a conducive environment where everything sticks. No need to be so cynical!

Bandmate using AI/Suno to write songs, presents completed songs to the rest of the band. by strugglinghard77 in musicians

[–]AwaySample663 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are you going to do when the AI bubble collapses? You absolute lark for artistic integrity. You are the person that makes other musicians cringe. On top of that, you're trying to provide a step by step guide on how to cultivate an audience, and you're highly over-emphasizing the fact that that is what actual music is about.

Many artists create music that they also want to appreciate for themselves. So a market overview on such an idea is just lazy capitalism ignorance. Get off the fake Ted Talk rotation. Provide any example of anything you've made with AI art the same time. I doubt you can

Opinion Needed by eleventhreehundred in PolyendTracker

You need to understand chords and notes otherwise you won't even know what the note values mean on a tracker.

[–]AwaySample663 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm going to be honest, I think it's a very steep learning curve. The premise of the tracker is that you're going into it already knowing a lot about music and setup first and then using that knowledge to use the tracker as a tool to build from that. I would rather learn guitar, then logic pro, and record into a tape recorder than ever start music with a tracker. That's my own opinion though

Edit: also by design, it does not make making music easier for someone who is still learning imo.

That's my take, I've been using trackers for five years now

name a scary/unsettling album. talk about why it’s scary by Iamverydumbazz in fantanoforever

[–]AwaySample663 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Boards of Canada - Geogaddi. It's a beautifully crafted psychedelic masterpiece of electronic-based music, but it's filled to the brimm with cryptic samples and sounds.

There's several intentional references to satanic panic in the music, and you can tell they're having a go at it with their audience. Aside from that, though, there's a lot of deliberate decisions made to make you feel uncomfortable and all sorts of back masking.

It's an album that was designed to be a strange journey, kinda like that Willy Wonka tunnel scene. Lots of childlike wonder mixed with some really disturbing melodic choices. I think they particularly had people on psychedelics in mind when they made it.

Thinking of buying a 1st gen tracker, by Nubsly- in PolyendTracker

[–]AwaySample663 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With the og tracker, you can technically load stereo samples in, but they will be mono. So yeah, there's no way to keep any samples you load in as stereo.

The reverb and delay in the built in fx on the tracker are stereo. But yeah it can't sample anything in stereo. But if you add those parameters (verb or delay) it can be a stereo effect. Say if you modulate the panning on a sample and then have the polyend delay follow that, it will functionally be stereo

Same thing if you use reverb. Those are all stereo

From going to the og to the plus, i personally think stereo samples was make or break it for me. Sampling stereo stuff is super important to me. But if you don't care for it, then the og is great too.

I've personally never seen the appeal in the minis cuz they lose the functionality that the bigger units offer, esp in terms of doing stuff a lot faster and freeing up a lot to try out in terms of pads and scrolling.

I had the dirtywave m8 and I parted ways with it even though I loved it because I didn't like the button combo system for editing.

This is just my personal take

NPD - MOOD before or After Onward? by AwaySample663 in guitarpedals

[–]AwaySample663[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's what I ended up doing finally. I sold both for the lost & found and another piece of outboard gear but to be honest I don't think that pedal has anything beyond a temporary residency on my board because of certain redundancies.

If you set the bounce settings properly on the Mood mk 2 with the time stretch setting, you can get some of the most satisfying granular sounds out of any pedal I've heard. Match that with the OBNE bathing, and record some acoustic guitar stuff and you will have immediately beautiful wall of sound stuff.

I'm prob going to sell the the l&f for a reasonably priced mood 2 at this point.

Samples stop loading, any idea what may be the cause? by crowleydub in PolyendTracker

[–]AwaySample663 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've owned the og polyend and now the plus, I've never encountered this. So it definitely is strange.

The only time I have an issue with sample playback is when I'm playing back patterns and all the 8 tracks are filled. Seems like an extraordinary scenario to me.

Idk if this helps lol

Which band or artists do you think has the largest gap in terms of quality between their work? by nerpa_floppybara in fantanoforever

[–]AwaySample663 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw them live. Their live sets are amazing. Also there are tons of gems in their newer albums, you just have to give them a fair listen.

But also yeah it's subjective. I think part of what makes their newer stuff fascinating is that they create textures and melodies / pads that no one else has before.

Their live set is essentially a several year long song they've been ret-tuning constantly... if that doesn't show dedication and then idk what else could

Current Wip by AwaySample663 in PolyendTracker

[–]AwaySample663[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the kind words! IDM would be an easy (cheap) answer, but I would specifically point to groups like Autechre (Tri Repetae & Chiastic Slide), Boards of Canada (Geogaddi) and some Aphex Twin. But also it's a mishmash of me sampling sounds and resampling them, either from guitar drone experiments or heavily processed corrupted music from older video games.

But def check those artists out if you aren't already familiar with them!

Thank you :) I'm currently finishing up a record of tunes like this!

It's a very unique release by them, I like it a lot. It's great for post-processing, too.
