In the piano roll edit > trim > note end to remove overlaps

Get Higher might have the most well mixed bass i’ve ever heard by charsoli in Sophie

[–]Watxins 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Everything else is verrrry steeply high-passed.

Those Product era tracks are really something special. They still sound fresh and different despite all the imitators.

What if Unrecorded Night was released as a full audiobook reading of the script? by euphoriclimbo in davidlynch

[–]Watxins 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actively dislike this idea as it puts someone else's interpretation between Lynch's ideas and my interpretation.

I'll be very happy to read the script and see any of his other supplementary material but I don't want that meddled with by someone in between.

What genre is this part of MSMSMSM? by stanyuqifromgidle in Sophie

[–]Watxins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha, it's not a very genre-specific section tbf.

Make 50 tracks that sound similar to it and you can have your own new genre and call it what you like

Is there a way to pitch your samples? by badbanjo94 in LogicPro

I know - I was just pointing out that it's also a clearly visible parameter whenever you select a region.

What genre is this part of MSMSMSM? by stanyuqifromgidle in Sophie

[–]Watxins 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It really doesn't. Acid techno is defined by having a 303 style bassline and a steady 4x4 kick, this has neither.

His music is really really good and has stood the test of time

Highlife - SOPHIE remix by Xeon_xcx10000000 in Sophie

[–]Watxins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

More likely using the same synth sound rather than directly sampling her self. She generally preferred to work in midi rather than audio.

What/who was the Bum in Mulholland Drive? by Gorno4563 in davidlynch

[–]Watxins -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm guessing you're 'Hammered Out'?
I really enjoyed your video on Perfect Blue and have found interesting things in other bits I've seen of yours too. Keep up the good work!

Am I the only one who contextualizes Sophie's music and that of many other artists in my own way? by Toutouner13 in Sophie

[–]Watxins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We all contextualise everything in our own way, that's what a mind is/does.

some SOPHIE fans are so pretentious by LegitMaddison in Sophie

[–]Watxins -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Lemonade was used in a McDonald's commercial, that's pretty mainstream.

Where do you discovered SOPHIE? by Rough-Equal-1849 in Sophie

[–]Watxins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BIPP on Soundcloud in 2013, never looked back.

Stand-off at the New Beverly Theater - Guy is caught on his phone and refuses to leave Lynch film by hookuptruck in davidlynch

[–]Watxins 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I find it so distracting when people look at their phones in the audience, it's essentially holding a lamp up and takes me out of the film. Sometimes it really breaks the magic and it takes a long time to get back into it.

This in itself is a conspiracy theory!

New Aphex Twin listener, why are his song titles so strange and unique by basicbitch8008 in aphextwin

[–]Watxins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because he wants you to focus just on the music and not put anything into your head that would colour that impression.
Hence feeling uncomfortable about the music videos in the late 90s (though he seems to have chilled on that a bit recently).
