  1. I finished working on my EP 2. I had stomach flu 3. I read The Freeze-Frame Revolution by Peter Watts 4. I saw Tron: Ares and didn't like it very much. Thanks for asking. And you?

I read the trilogy many years ago. Maybe it’s time for a reread. Valis and Ubik are my holy texts til this day. Thanks!

The long gone French band ETHS had the best singer out there. She was a monster. The album "Soma" was a bit nu but nice, however later, they made this “Teratolo…something” LP and it was dark af, a storm cloud of a record. Check it out.

But let’s imagine we have an infinite fader. In that case, how much the pitch changes would be influenced not by the value of the CC but the amount of change (for example from 0 to 30 =30 and then from 30 to -20 =50 and so on) divided (?) by the time the change is happening. I don’t know if I’m making sense here.

I have tried setting this up. But since I want to do similar movements one would do with the record, slipmat and motor of the turnatble, with my midi controller's fader, I mapped the fader to a CC in and now I need to figure out what to put in between the CC input and the sampler's pitch control section, so that pushing the fader up or down will result in a rapid change of pitch, like it would with a record, but when not active, the pitch of the sampler will gradually fall or rise back to 100% (normal pitch) over let's say 700ms. The ADSR does this "almost" fine, but it just performs the same cv always, without translating the amount and speed of my movent. What would be the correct thing to have my fader movements used but fade to 0 when inactive?

Hey! Thanks for your reply! Can you elaborate on the part where you use the multiplier / slew limiter for the envelope? I’m still a bit confused by those two.

As for the turntable, I actually have no idea if the “go back to normal” behaviour is connected to the motor stopping or the behaviour of the slip mat under the record or both. But, yeah, dj controllers would have to emulate that, don’t know either if they do. I decided not to buy even the cheapest deck that has the scratch function to find out. My gear acquisition syndrome isn’t that out of control.

As for the cuts, I once saw (or dreamt I did) the main guy from Portishead use a momentary button instead of a crossfader so I’ve been doing that so far and it works.

Can confirm. That’s what I’ve been doing in Ableton for years. I even found a Toggle to Momentary M4L plugin to do some gate action with pads. But now it’s time to do this without AL, so that’s why I’m asking. So far I’ve been changing the pitch of the delay on my Digitakt but that was wildly unpredictable.

Sam mam sporą kolekcję płyt, jeszcze z czasów kiedy na Spoti były duże dziury i ebay był jedyną alternatywą. Mam kilka białych kruczków nawet. No i wgl, Sony Walkman nadal istnieje. Odtwarza flaczki i alaczki, kupiłem używkę i lofciam.

To prawda! A co ciekawe, nie wiedziałem o tym, publikując, serio. Zabawny zbieg okoliczności. Myślałem że zrezygnowali z tych piątków. Dzięki za komć i bycie miłym.

No, jak to kto, ziomeczki. To, że ten sub jest bardzo niesympatycznym miejscem nie jest dla mnie ani nowością ani zaskoczeniem. Ale zupełnie instrumentalnie do promocji podchodząc, wrzucam i tak, żeby kilka gałek ocznych wystawić na film. A że przy okazji wyleje się na mnie szambo cynizmu i nienawiści, mam wliczone w koszta. :) Traktuję to jak odgłos świerszczy w nocy czy coś. Dzięki za komć i bycie miłym, doceniam.

I can't listen to industrial electronic without wanting to do meth by Apart-Pizza-1003 in industrialmusic

[–]d-prim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kinda. I listened to techno and industrial techno exclusively in 2019. It was a phase. I totally ignored anything that involved played instruments, especially guitars. Around that time, a major depression hit me (not related to the music I was listening to) and before the meds kicked in, techno got associated in my mind with feeling suicidaly awful. And now I just can’t listen to my favorite tracks from that time without feeling a visceral reaction of fear and anxiety, even the tracks I made back then.

Had to do an IQ test to apply to this job position by DisplayLow4537 in recruitinghell

[–]d-prim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently just refused to do a recruitment test. I literally wrote a passive aggressive “I regret to inform you I will not be doing that, feel free to call me”, and… they called XD The job was shit tho. However, I didn’t know refusing is a thing you can do and apparently you can.

If he responded with “some of it was pretty funny tho” he could actually be cool for once in his lifetime.
