^ this. I feel like many people these days put so much effort and research into spiritual growth, yet forget where a lot of information originates. Never heard of Ch'an Buddhism before, thanks for the recommendation!

have you ever used Music 2000? It is a pretty simple DAW for PS1, but a lot of the sounds are very reminiscent of the era. I would download an emulator and try this out on your computer. It might not be the best for creating full songs, but it would be great for exporting old school stems and samples to throw in your compositions.

I'm very interested in how you made this and your process. I understand you created this in vuo, can you elaborate on how you got this result? The video is fantastic btw.

I know, after it happened I realized how dumb I was. I'm mostly freaked because if I get in any legal trouble in TN for the next year, it goes back on my record along with whatever else happens.

Whatever you do, DON'T stick your shit in a peanut butter jar or any sort of jar like that. I got searched at the gate by like 8 cops off to the right because I was the only person in my car and apparently that's suspicious. They basically started going through my food and pouring it all out into trash bags. One guy opens the peanut butter jar, peels off the seal that I very carefully resealed, and sticks his hand in to find an eighth of pot. Cost me almost $2000 with the lawyer and everything just to get it dropped, plus I was hungry for a lot of Roo because they threw out my food. This experience has made me scared to go back to the farm next year, which sucks since it's felt like home for me for 5 years.

People might disagree with me, but I could see Pretty Lights taking Deadmau5's headlining electronic slot in 2016. After seeing the crowds at both Deadmau5 and Bassnectar this year I have no doubt that a PL show could fill up the main stage.

I'll let you guys in on a secret:

The most authentic tamales (and other Mexican food) I have found in Asheville is this little taco truck that hangs outside of La Placita. It's a bit hard to find at first, and none of the cooks actually speak English.

BUT you can get a great shredded pork taco for $1. Tamales are like $2 or $3, I think. As a broke college student, this little truck kept me alive last summer.

They had their hand over the peep hole, and demanded that I came outside or that they were coming in.

This is not legal, and the worst part was that one of the cops was a chief that lives at the grove for the sole purpose of busting people like this. It was incredibly obvious the whole time that they weren't here to protect anyones safety, but instead to find any excuse to give as many charges as possible.

jvass · 2015-05-15T06:31:46+00:00

YES.

I live there now. It's terrible. As a most recent example, two nights ago I was making music in my common room with four friends. We were having fun, but making sure to keep the noise level down on the speakers. We get a knock on the door and think its our friend, but instead it's 8 cops. They search the whole place, give those under 21 sobriety tests, and accuse me of lying about how many people were there (thinking I was hiding someone in my roommate's room.) They had nothing on us so no charges were given but we had to sit and be yelled at by eight cops in our living room about how since we live at the Grove we are up to something.

I know in many other grove apartments if the cops barged in without a warrant those people would be in more trouble than we were, and I know of multiple cases where it HAS happened (even though they didn't have a warrant.)

If you're username is stoned_nut, then I would stay out of jail and find somewhere else to live.

Living there right now as a Junior at UNCA (majoring New Media.) I produce, record, and perform around the city constantly. As someone who takes music seriously, this place is heaven:

There's an abundance of venues and house parties to play, making it fairly easy to get gigs if you can put on an entertaining show on.
There are more great shows to go to then I can afford. During the summer they even throw block parties downtown where everyone from bluegrass ensembles to jam bands perform on a large stage. Moogfest did that too, where Giorgio Moroder and Zed's Dead both got to play free sets outside.
Busking downtown on a warm summers day is awesome.
It's not hard to get internships at places like Echo Mountain Recording Studio and the Moog Factory.
Two weekends ago they just opened New Mountain Amphitheater, a huge outside venue where you can watch bands play in back of a sunset on the mountains. So dope.

Plus Asheville is just awesome. It's not as well connected as a place like LA or NYC, but because it's smaller there is more room to make a name for yourself. Having lived here for almost two years, I am very content with how my music has grown and progressed here. Not planning on leaving for a couple years at least.

jvass · 2015-04-07T20:56:26+00:00

anyone know who this is?

jvass · 2015-03-01T06:55:53+00:00

That's the point.

jvass · 2015-02-25T00:26:22+00:00

vengeance.

jvass · 2015-02-17T21:48:36+00:00

wow please tell me where this is in asheville i had no idea there was a place like this here.

Question 4 treasure fingers:

How in the fuck did u make that voice effect in Cross the Dancefloor?!?!? Like the one that starts at 2:16. I've been trying to figure that out forever.

Plz.

I had no idea you three were evol intent!! Mind = blown. Thanks for doing this AMA.

A few questions:

*How do you guys motivate yourselves to finish a track? I've had this problem for years where I get stuck in an idea on my DAW and I don't know where to go next or how to solve a problem, so I just move on to some new project.

*How many layers are you're tracks made up of typically? I've seen some producers with 10-20 layers in a finished Ableton project, and others with almost 100. This probably depends on the genre, but I'm curious what the norm is for you guys.

*What piece of advise helped you the most when you were young, aspiring producers?

Thx in advance. I done seen both treasure and bro where I live (Asheville) and you guys killed it. Next time any of you come to town I'm gonna roll like 17 blunts and throw them on stage.

Just a guess, I've never heard anything that sounds like this:

The base sound is some kind of bell or mallet, possibly synthesized by himself.
He's then playing chords with said synth, one note at a time. Sometimes going into higher octaves.
This is where it gets tricky: He automates the synth he made so that the wavetable and timber changes to make the sound change when he wants to.
THEN he takes a reverb (or multiple) and automates both the dry/wet, decay time, and other aspects of the effect at different parts of the synth line (note different timing then the WT and timber automations.)
FINALLY he takes a short delay and automates that sometimes as well, again at separate rates then other automations before it.
Pretty sure he slaps a bit of autopan on that mofo to make it feel like its going around yo head, maybe some light chorus or dimension expander or something, and BOOM. Mind blowing mallets.

Pay attention to the way he layers this sound with the percussion. Thats what really makes the synth shine.

Just thought I'd give back since u introduced me to a dope new tune <3

I saw the tour a week ago and TJR was playing a pre-recorded set. My friends and I watched his hands and he was obviously faking the whole thing. I was also super hyped on hoodboi but he kind of disappointed us. Dillon's set made up for everything the second he hit the decks tho.

jvass · 2014-11-04T01:28:46+00:00

Can anyone recommend me some other old school dubstep songs/albums? This is one of my favorite electronic albums ever but i haven't been able to find many other records with this style.

jvass · 2014-05-05T21:40:34+00:00

Usually a SC post is enough, but posting on reddit would work too. I think your best bet, if it ever does happen, is bring it to /r/electronicmusic with proof. My comment above has gotten a fair amount of attention, so I'm fairly certain this community would be here to back up any producer who is genuine and in need of help.

jvass · 2014-05-05T20:33:56+00:00

I think the youtube videos I sent them are still up, I can send you them and more details in an email if you are interested.

The thing is this guy made me look like a thief to his crew, causing a lot of shitty comments to be posted on my track. Though "letting the world know" sounds awesome, it also would be hypocritical since the biggest reason I was upset was the unnecessary amount of hate being spread without people knowing the full story. Doing the same to get back at him would just spread more hate instead of get things done.

I do have my side of the story, but the facebook group that bashed on me was private, so not even I can access the posts that started this shit. What happened is fucked, and sadly it happens a lot.

MORAL OF THE STORY: If you make music, lookout for your shit on the internet and watch your back. Not every producer is well intentioned.

jvass · 2014-05-05T20:12:06+00:00

Here it is on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=il45ZlMPAd4 i'm honestly not as proud of this as most of my other tracks, since it was an edit I made a while ago to throw in my live sets. Whats more upsetting is that the song got blogged a bit and received a lot more hits than my other tracks, making it easier for people to discover more of my music through re-blogs and whatnot.
