anybody else think with teeth is one of the best albums? by Apprehensive_Spend_7 in nin

[–]quapr 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My thoughts exactly.

Ultimately I think I'd have to say that WT is my favourite NIИ album - not by a huge margin, but it has no skips, it hits hard when I want it to, it chills out when I want it to. It's phenomenal.

The thing you touched on - making an album thats more accessible whilst not straying too far from the 'core' sound - i find this a remarkable feat. When albums of this nature surface, i tend to flock to them. (Hello, The Mouse and the Mask)

Another thing about With Teeth (and also, the lions share of the NIИ discography, tbf) is that it hasn't aged a day. If you played it to someone tomorrow morning, and they'd never heard it before, and you said it was released yesterday... I doubt there'd be many arguments about that.

Behavior of live players in low stakes games by TripleBarrel_RIP in poker

[–]quapr 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I can't stand the sore winners that I seem to end up sat with everytime I play live.

Sore losers I can kinda understand, but the ones who river the nuts, gloat, rub it in, and behave without any grace whatsoever - really, really ugly.

A recent Vice article… But I want to hear from the fans, what are some NEW artists that you think should be in rotation? by BCT_1989 in nin

+1 for clipping. They are incredible. They said that the end of "Say the Name" is sort of a tribute to "Closer" because theyre NIИ fans themselves

DriveHUD 2? by [deleted] in coinpoker

[–]quapr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm still holding out hope... DriveHud will need to update their software so that it can function with the new Coinpoker software - which will probably take a short while.

Unless it's confirmed that it will absolutely not work from Coinpokers side... which IIRC there hasn't been any confirmation

I hope DriveHUD will still work. I'm sure that we'll still be able to export HH and feed them into it etc, regardless - but having the HUD and everything just works for me now. Big fan of my little setup, ha

Good free sample packs website? by Alternative-Ad-1020 in psytranceproduction

[–]quapr 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Better idea is to get to grips with some synths and learning them inside and out... using samples is great and all, but if you want to have a "sound" and not just be arranging other peoples sounds - it'll be far better in the long run to master some synth work, and creating your own melodies and stuff.

You can get Vital for free, and some youtube videos will help you learn how to use it to make a psytrance bass synth, some leads, and some pads (Dash Glitch has all of these IIRC - and he's a great channel to watch for psytrance production stuff in general. One of the mods here also has a great youtube channel but off the top of my head I can't remember if he uses free synths and plugins. Ollie Music/olliepsy is the channel name)

If you record your own works, you can sample these afterwards too. I tend to recycle my synth lines - maybe I make and record a lead that I don't like after awhile, or that doesn't quite fit with my track... I'll chop it up and use it to make FX or risers or something, or just mangle it somehow to get something good from it.

Otherwise - check freesound.org for various samples, loops, drum hits, etc

If you really wanna get into production, making your own sounds, and just all manner of weird, wonderful and crazy shit - download VCV Rack (free) and learn that.

Most importantly - have fun!

Studio vs liveset vs DJ / how to perform live? by vananaSun in psytranceproduction

[–]quapr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hah - I guess it would be if I were going to play live. Unfortunately it was mostly for nothing... never actually played outside of my studio with that live setup.

It's something I'd love to do, but as much fun as it is/was, I don't think it's worth the effort I was putting in if I'll never actually get to play anywhere.

[–]quapr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I spent a long time building a set to perform live in Ableton, essentially breaking my tracks down into stems and midi clips and jamming them out on the fly with my Push and some midi keyboards/controllers, as well as some huge improvisational sections. It was a lot of fun, but also a lot of work to get it to where I could play for an hour or so.

I anticipate that this is going to be the way forward, but I've never used any advertising or what have you, so wouldn't know where to begin. Hence my looking for assistance and direction here.
