Production Methods?

[eyeswithoutaface]

read my post back. I never once said DONT have your sends and other stuff loaded up. I said it's not productive for ME. It's not wasting time at all, but using that method, if i dont need to use a sampler on a track and its loaded when i open my software, then isnt having to get rid of it wasting time too? ;)

it has nothing to do with whatever "level" your at, no one here is at a level as to insinuate that having to sit down for a few mins extra and have another think about using something fresh is going to somehow impede our progress in the techno world mate. I think outside the box of just concentrate on 2/3 certain effects. I'm much happier to concentrate on 5, 6, 7 different variations of 1 effect. What's crap freebies got to do with anything? I very, very rarely use Waves rverb, an amazing plugin of course, but i tend to use my Timeworks and DSP effects more so, i find them more original and better for my tastes.

there's no argument for or against either techniques, to say it's not hard to change a send to a plugin is correct. I never said it wasnt. But on the same hand, it's not exactly hard to just load thing's up as and when needed. Like i say i start every track with a totally blank canvass. Then i go from there, that's just how i prefer it, wether or not i have to spend a whole 30 seconds each time i start a new track loading up an effect really doesnt take much away from the final product

well i start at basicly from kick then going to bass afterwards some percussion,hats,now experimenting with pads,basslines at low bpm(50-90 or so) then convertating and playin back at usual 130-138

Good idea that.
Slowing things down is a good way of feeling the space between beats and getting things nicely locked in before speeding it up again.

lets see, it depends on whether my girlfriend is in.

if she is, then its ear cans in a darkened room late at night

if she's not, its pumping through the speakers in the hope of getting a nice mix.

as far as the process goes,

create a nice chord sequence, riff or beat groove and take it from there

you really cant find me happier than when i'm locked into some hypnotic state creating something, be it a beat or a soundtexture. i had literally 100's of small repetitive pad loops i created on my hdd that i'd go to once in a while to modulate on the fly and zone out, all gone now. (boo hoo)

like jay i dont approach anything with an idea, i just let it flow, whether thats by chance or the subconscious. **** knows. one thing i do know repitition and subtlety make me happy
