A winge of sorts.

Steve, all i can say is if you feel that way, and you don't tell it to me before posting it on the net, you're obviously not my homie as you claim to be. Seems all you're trying to do is tear me down...but when we rap, it's a whole differant ball game.

At this point, we no longer have anything to say to one another. You claim this comment isn't a shot at me, but it obviously is. And you claim to be a brother of the craft....I don't see it. From this day forward, don't speak of me...don't breathe of me and don't think of me. I just can't believe that somebody I HAD (no more) so much respect for would bad mouth me in such a manner....somebody i thought would be happy that I'm doing well.

You basically called my music shit man....that's ****ed!!!!

I think you need to re-read what I wrote there.
That litte quote conversation was just an imaginary scenario with a non excistant character.
You been with tony too long man, jumping off without reading clearly, I`ve not picked on your music at all.
In fact read my last sentence.

I think musically and production wise you are one of the good examples of consistant improvement. And as far as I am concerned you have gone from strength to strength.

Why don't you address Brad instead of dragging my name into this. Brad does not live in my house, I do not influence Brad, he is perfectly capable of coming to his own conclusions. Don't bring my name into this again, that's the second time you've done it in this thread alone, get it through your head.

You are not the definition of perfect techno.
You are not the be all end all of what sounds good.
Your tastes do not define what techno is, should be, or what the potential of techno truly is.
If you are so bored with techno and so fed up with bad production and think that it is a lost cause then bounce, or flood the market with quality, you have labels, you have a radio show, go show the world what "good" techno is.
Be a man and keep my name out of your mouth.
So mote it be.

When did I claim to be the definition of anything, I`m reading back through this post and I can`t seem to find it.


I know production. But I don`t claim to be the king of techno, and again, where do I claim to be bored of techno? or that things are a lost cause?
I wouldn`t be slaving in my studio writing a new production tutorial if I thought all hope was lost.
I don`t really claim anything about techno, other than that I know how to produce to a certain technical standard. Which is why I am paid to master music of all genres.
Nor do I really claim to judge "good" or "bad" techno. I know good and bad production however. Which you seem to have trouble separating.
Why would I want to flood the market with anything?
Now chill out, I know you got a problem with me, there`s no need for this to go any further is there? If you really wanna, then ask mark to open the Vex


Brad, I ain`t insulted you at all, read the words again. I may be a cantankerous old sod, but I never insult people in the way you seem to think I have with you (rather bizarrely)

Back on point.


Anyway, in conclusion, good, most people seem to be into constructive crit. Which is great. You`ll all help each other loads if you are brutally honest with your crit, and keep the subjective and personal side of it out of the way.
There is a massive difference between artistic/aesthetic critisism and practical/technical crit. As long as you don`t let your ego get in the way you can benefit loads. This place used to be like that and it really was fantastic.

I`ll try to offer a little production help when I can, but really I`m a little too busy these days to go through loads of tunes each week like I used too.

If you are having difficulty with a tune I will always reply to pm`s and try and help out if I can with your production woe`s.
