Something profound

I grow tired from trying to come up with compelling introductions (due to laziness or stupidity), so I'll just say this: My music is me, my computer, a midi keyboard, some guitars, and any random instruments I happen to be able to bum off people. The style of music I produce is definitely electronic in nature, due to my love of what has been known up to now as techno (4/4 which includes anything from rave/acid/happycore, gabber/hardcore, trance/progressive, and SOME house; breakbeats which can include but not necessarily, breakcore, big beat/chemical breaks, trip-hop/jungle, electro/miami bass, glitch/IDM, and turntablism; chill which can be anything from acid jazz to downtempo beats and future jazz/nu jazz/lounge; dub--which can be considered electronic in some instances; ambient and ambient techno which can include new age influences, drone, and soundscapes; etc...)

I listen to several other kinds of music but enjoy making electronic music the most. I also write some singer/songwriter type songs once in a while so keep an eye peeled for a Tyler/Swarm singer/songwriter page. Just be careful--I do sing on occasion...

Get Schooled: A decent guide to electronic music (though no one can create a complete and accurate one), is at http://techno.org/electronic-music-guide/

A mind is a terrible thing to cut and paste.

I was playing some various demo tracks in Reason 4 (music sequencer) and came across an artist the goes by the name "The Green Man." Now I consider myself to be a fairly cultured person but was not aware that The Green Man is a reference to an artistic element commonly used in old architecture, sculp...

    Yeah Ableton 7 is great it supports REX files now which is really cool and auto slicing of them to instrument racks are expandable in session view and plus it has handy things like a spectrum analyzer which you can put on a track or even the master track.

    Oh compressor 1 & 2 have been merges and now supports sidechaining as with Autofilter and i think Gate as well.

    Then there's the extras like Analog which is an Analog Synth very powerful physical model instrument and there's a few others like, Tension for stringed, Electric for Piano's etc..

    There all addon's that cost extra i think Analog is the best value but that is the one i've most explored so far.

    Yeah Silver iMac the Harddisk could do to be alot faster its a 2.5" disk so you suffer with big projects.

    Whats Synapse Orion ? never heard of that.
