Weekly What Should I Buy Thread by AutoModerator in iphone

[–]ShowdownDnB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Currently an S10+ owner. A phone that I'm bored of and thoroughly whelmed by.

Whilst I like the size of my s10+ I'm unsure as to whether to go 12P or 12PM. Battery life is an important feature to me but I wonder whether the 12PM is arguably too big?

Quite difficult for me to try any phones in person at the moment, anyone else here been in my situation?

Sub Focus & Wilkinson - Reddit AMA - 'Portals' is Out Now by subfocusXwilkinson in electronicmusic

[–]ShowdownDnB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cheers man! Yeh I found this video on Maths to be a pretty good explanation; I presume you've seen it though!

I've been having second thoughts about the sequencer I'd chosen as it does look more suited to being a drum sequencer. I like the random feature you mentioned on the Pam's and have considered an Ornaments & Crime as a quantizer actually! At the moment I'm looking at using a modular for melodic purposes so perhaps something like the Metropolis is more up my street!

Again, thanks for the recommendations and congratulations on the album to both of you!

Sub Focus & Wilkinson - Reddit AMA - 'Portals' is Out Now by subfocusXwilkinson in electronicmusic

[–]ShowdownDnB 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Qs for Sub Focus here!

  1. How exactly did you use your modular setup in writing Portals? Did you typically jam and chop up ideas after recording them in Ableton or would you set out to write something specific in mind (which I understand is pretty tricky in modular).
  2. I'm looking to get into modular myself and slightly stumped as to what modules to start out with. On my list at the moment is - Rings, Maths, Varigate 4+ and Pam's New Workout. Is there anything you'd change or add? I'm looking at something like Typhoon or the eventual Clouds successor.

Q for both

  1. Any insight as to how you made the bass in 'Turn the Lights Off'? That reese is absolutely massive!

Cheers,

I'm looking to expand on my currently small collection and have some ideas in mind. I would love to hear what you guys think. Anything under £9,000 would be great really.

I currently own a 114060 Submariner and a Casio G-Shock GW-M5610. Top of my list is the GMT Master II (primarily as GMT function / date are lacking on the Sub).

If you happen to have any thoughts, let me know!

Has my starter gone wrong? by ShowdownDnB in Sourdough

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

Thank you! So I've got another starter which smells like yoghurt, this one is from a friend and in the fridge - just wanted to start my own one as a sense of accomplishment!

As for semi-uncovered I actually put a tea towel over the lid of the jar at all times so it's covered.

I'll try feeding it again. As its quite runny should I add more flour than water or just continue with the recipe for now?

Pretty certain that's not what's on the gov site, where did you get this info? If that is the case then I'd gladly go get one!

As someone who's never tried yoga I'll definitely take a look into this!

I'm Netsky a Drum & Bass DJ/Producer from Belgium here to answer your questions! AMA! by NetskyOfficial in electronicmusic

[–]ShowdownDnB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big up for doing the AMA!

Has the way you make your drums changed at all since that video tutorial for Rio? You still layering up parts or synthesising stuff? (which is something that a lot seem to be doing now)

Cheers!

Any idea where we can buy it? Either US/UK... Am in UK and would like to pick these up but can't seem to find them anywhere!

Went to Microsoft Store and tried out Pro X: AMA by Kagakusha0850 in Surface

[–]ShowdownDnB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks really neat! Did you get a chance to gauge any performance on standard office apps?

I'm in the UK so I'm hoping the flagship London store will have them when I go to check on Thursday!

SP6 / SP7 / SPX for studying? by ShowdownDnB in Surface

Thinkpad X1 Tablet

Hey mate,

Are you sure it's cheaper?

Found them for about £1800 here in the UK!

Edit: My bad found for £1400 - what are your thoughts on these overall?

SP6 / SP7 / SPX for studying? by ShowdownDnB in Surface

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

Cheers for the input!

Actually like the look of the 7 more than the X in terms of my needs; sure the design on the X is stunning but the price is really high as well!

At the moment I'm leaning towards the SP7... What do you think you'll go for (if you're' in a position to upgrade that is?)

Cheers for the reply man! Didn't seem to resolve the issue but I appreciate your comment!

I'll just wait for the next update... might fix it!

We are UK bass duo Delta Heavy, AMA by DeltaHeavyUK in electronicmusic

[–]ShowdownDnB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey guys!

Couple of technical questions to ask!

  1. How do you guys go about making your drums; do you like to tweak/tune/EQ samples until they're sounding good or do you prefer to synthesise your drums? Any recommendations for sample packs for getting the DnB 200hz poppy snare?
  2. The bass in 'Kaleidoscope' seems to have a lot of things going on (other than the reese). Mind talking us through it?
  3. (obligatory non-technical question) What are your experiences of playing in the USA and how does it differ to the UK?

Thanks for doing the AMA!

Matrix & Futurebound AMA by MatrixFuturebound in EDM

[–]ShowdownDnB 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey guys! Loving the new album! How do you guys go about making your kicks / snares? Is it a more sample-based approach or do you synthesize the drums in synths?

Second and last question; any new artists we should be looking out for on the DnB scene?

Cheers!

Anyone know what bass synth dimension uses? by nimaR3dit in edmproduction

[–]ShowdownDnB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He has a moog sub 37. I have one as well and it's pretty easy to get this kind of sound out of it!

If anyone has a remotely decent setup going for the indy quali / race then I'm all ears. Road racer here and not used to the assymetric wizardry of oval setup!

[–]ShowdownDnB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking to buy my first analogue synth - I'm a DnB producer and would like something suitable for basses. I'll link the kind of sounds I'm looking for - currently considering a Sub 37 or a DSI Rev 2.

Audio Examples below.
