Well since we're all here, how about a thread for producers and beatmakers, for all those amateur PC/Mac/Linux/Atari/Amiga/Commodore 64 fans, some emergency helpline "can someone find me a Renegade Soundwave snare" or "how the bejaysus do I operate this shite sampler" etc.
I got a huge box of archive exam papers relating to this stuff, it covers GCSE level to super-top level advice on all manner of production and sweetening techniques.... I think it's all going to waste sitting around doing the torrents...
It's just a series of notes about mixing techniques and stuff that I either stole or made.
Simple microphone techniques and and the music stuff, but going right through the whole gamut of cabling and earthing, safety info, recording, sweetening and mastering and everything else in-between.
Pretty boring to the non-muso/producer. Fair Play.
It's all pretty relevant to anyone doing any of this stuff though, if you're lucky enough to find yourself looking up the cabled skirt of a Logic sequencer, or need to urgently consult a filechanger, or even participate in a live capture, or make the most of a basic DJ mixer, it would be a good thing to organise...
So I guess really I'm asking permission of the mods and the chief of staff to be able to post up reams and reams of info, with a view to edit them down once I've had the scrutiny and the assistance of the U75 resident experts.
I'm thinking I could of course set a website up myself, but it would take years to generate the search-traffic, and it's such a niche market that lots of folk here seem to know a lot about the mixing/production stuff, and have tons of random samples to hand...
Totally a not for profit exercise, though. I get to keep anything I wrote and y'all can copy/paste to your hearts content, but it's still mine to share for free.
Don't pretend you wrote it yourself, unless you actually did, or I will hunt you to the grave.
Think of it as an educational resource. Hopefully, and potentially.
Lots and lots of people need to know how this stuff actually works, in fact in my recent experience they're desperate to know how it works, because nobody can realistically afford or want to pay a muppet like me to sit there with them for 16 hours showing them how it works all night long ... so...
I figured I'd just bung a load of stuff up on this thread, and if anyone thinks it's wrong, or needs a specific clarification, then it becomes a quick reference guide with quick-reply.
It means I can both cut/paste and it also means I get to discover the answers to burning questions regarding the innards of obscure Korg power supplies, or how to hotwire and replace a Roland VS drive.
Because I doubt anyone here could tell me the accurate regulated DC current supply input for the X5DR, and it would be nice if what they used to call a "webring" still existed for all this boring yet vital techie stuff. I miss it.
So whaddya think mods and modettes? Is it a cautious go?
