Ableton Forum

Hi Kanuck, I can recommend a few if you like. Each of these have a huge presence in my record collection: Ben Frost ( I recommend his latest record: "By The Throat") Grouper ( Absolutely anything from this wonderful artist. I recommend anything from this girl. ) Tim Hecker ( I think Tim us...

Luckily i gave my TV away since there wasn't anything good on EVER!

Same with me. Television is a waste of time.

Girls are a head-fuck. Simple as. I'm thinking of plugging my internet out when i'm making shit.

Anyone else find the internet a ridiculous distraction?

Great reply Ikeaboy, thanks for taking the time to write that. Are you on Noiseguide? How are you getting on with Reason?

Some interesting replies. The reason I setup this topic is that i'm not sure how to promote myself. I'm not sure whether to keep it personal (just send demos to labels, keep it to myself), or just completely sell myself (put it out all over the net). No one can answer this for me. It has to be my ch...

R.i.P.

A wonderful man. My thoughts are with his family.

Just wanted to see what other peoples mindset was on this. Do you make music just for yourself? Do you self-promote every bit of music? I'm hoping in a while to start sending some demos to labels i like, but i'm not sure if I want everybody to know who I am. I find it a little bit uncomfortable. I t...

Wow, some great feedback. I'll definitely check out the idm forum. I appreciate everyone replying to this thread. As I said, i don't have any friends who are making music, let alone abstract stuff. I'm going to send everyone who replied a pm, just to get to know everyone a bit better. You guys have ...

I hope everyone enjoyed their Christmas. I've been meaning to put this up for a while, but i've been hesitant because I don't wanna look like some weirdo. Like the title suggests i'm pretty much into making this kind of sound, but I've noticed that not many people are into it where i'm from (Dublin)...

Unheard of. I hope you have good legal representation.

It seems that your wrong and that it is quite a popular technique.

Some great advice. I hope that my setup at this particular time will be enough. It seems that there is alot of possibilities, unfortunately I haven't got to grips with any of it yet. My setup if anyone is interested: I-mac, nio interface, krk speakers, nocturn 25 midi keyboard, korg nano kontrol, zo...

Yeah, I can relate man. I have a variety of books on synthesis, electronic music, field recordings (the listening book), and video tutorial courses etc.. I'm not pissed of I have alot of stuff, it will come to good use in time, though. I'm gonna learn about how to focus, concentrate and have self-di...

Wow thanks Tarekith, thank you. I'm really into making soundscapes, and stuff so every item was bought with that in mind i.e. the field recorder, but you hit the nail on the head. I think discipline is so crucial. I guess my problem is that I don't think I have enough sound processors, that i'm limi...

I have a very bad case of it, man. I got my production setup in FEBRUARY, and I have not made one single piece yet. I'm being honest, I have not even made a loop, let alone a track. All I do each day, is spend 3-4 hours looking for more gear. In a short time, my setup has expanded: I started of with...
