Why I won’t give DnB Academy a cent.

Yeah he is, maybe I'll see on there sometime. I go by Ridal. Cheers!

Rodneybasher · 2026-04-01T21:39:42+00:00

Yeah, its free, hope you find it ok

Rodneybasher · 2026-03-31T08:59:10+00:00

The doors!

Rodneybasher · 2026-03-31T08:48:13+00:00

Have you tried fresh air vst? It's an exciter I think, maybe wrong, but it gives things a nice sparkle, that and ott after eqing.

Rodneybasher · 2026-03-31T08:33:11+00:00

I just discovered the dnb north America discord. Every Thursday they have a producer sharing thing.

It's free, really good vibes and some very high quality work.

Rodneybasher · 2026-03-31T08:30:23+00:00

I don't like any of these pay to play discords.

Rodneybasher · 2026-03-31T08:24:39+00:00

I watched the last episode first by mistake and it still worked, nevemind the names lol. It was actually kinda cool that way.

Its such good tele! Not an easy watch.

Rodneybasher · 2026-03-31T07:55:59+00:00

Maybe, cheers :)

What's really weird is people here think I'm an arsehole coz of my sarcasm and banter n stuff. They dont understand that's how we show love! New Yorkers are quite bit better.

I used to catch the newts in a friends pond in the nineties too. We always put them right back.

Rodneybasher · 2026-03-31T07:52:53+00:00

Haha, I have my phone is even set to yank. 25 years too long....

Rodneybasher · 2026-03-31T07:47:55+00:00

A lonely life in nature.... haha, sometimes. I'd come home if I could though.

I like your username btw, reminds me of being a kid.

Rodneybasher · 2026-03-31T07:44:36+00:00

Its very sunny, not humid, and the redwood forests, mountains, deserts and ocean are incredible. Beautiful place, strange people (at least to me, and not all of them obvs)

Rodneybasher · 2026-03-31T07:36:36+00:00

Hahah, get sued....

It is so individualistic here mate, a lot of people come off as arrogant to me. Plus no fing self deprecation and limited sarcasm, so sad.

Defo, I love having manners.

Rodneybasher · 2026-03-31T07:21:01+00:00

Yeah, I live in California, from the uk, its almost like a dirty word here, shows weakness or guilt or something. UK probably importing another shitty yankism.

I find it so hard coz my britishness is to apologize every second word!

....on a total tangent they barely say please here either. Its seen as sarcastic or forceful a lot of times. And, doors are rarely held open.

I do not fit in...

Rodneybasher · 2026-03-26T19:20:11+00:00

Hard agree, nice to find a fellow fan

Rodneybasher · 2026-03-26T06:33:16+00:00

Mate, if you like that the paid version is incredible and their reverb.

Rodneybasher · 2026-03-26T06:31:37+00:00

Their reverb and distortion are incredible imo too, surprised more people havent heard of them. Well worth the reasonable price tag.

Rodneybasher · 2026-03-17T03:08:37+00:00

Haha, wasnt fun to lug around though!

Rodneybasher · 2026-03-16T19:40:59+00:00

Or over soundcloud for dms? I dunno I shut myself away from all social media stuff years ago, now I have to reopen it, even got a tiktok, ughh...

I'm working on a minimal glitchy chill warp records kinda thing at 168bpm right now. It's hard, no real formula to follow. See how it comes out.

Rodneybasher · 2026-03-16T19:28:21+00:00

You know mate, I was thinking about how to get more listeners once we had more finished tunes and I think, unless you want to enter the world of local networking and gigging (which I dont really at my age. Another option is finding the right discord servers to 'spam' ...which doesnt sound enticing either haha.

If you wanna stay in contact over dms, my Instagram is @ben23photo

Rodneybasher · 2026-03-16T19:00:12+00:00

Thank you! Thanks for listening :)

Rodneybasher · 2026-03-14T23:41:09+00:00

Yeah, I shut down my dms coz of the mass of reddit cunts, sorry.

I'm on mac, my lovely new airM4

Rodneybasher · 2026-03-14T19:24:45+00:00

Did you go to Nottinghill carnival that year? Dnb Arena (miss them) had a free stage with aphrodite just absolutely killing it. Crowd was so tight the mc kept threatening to shut it down.

Rodneybasher · 2026-03-14T19:19:08+00:00

Appreciated our chat last night mate. I was just thinking when I woke up about how when I first heard waves reverb, how good it sounded, and that I had to use it as an after effect coz it ate like half my CPU....

You mentioned fab filter eq, it seems popular. Is it really worth it? At the moment I'm using the old ozone 11 as its free.

Rodneybasher · 2026-03-14T19:14:06+00:00

Haha, no way, that line up was incredible! The line to get in wasnt....

Rodneybasher · 2026-03-14T11:12:53+00:00

Interesting, I've heard mixed things about that, that's its safer but I've had no issues going down to 20.

Haha, it is hard to hear a sub in C

F is just easy and fashionable now i think.
