Is it just me who finds this funny...?

I'm back for this, first time in about 2 and a half years!!
 

What doesn't kill us only makes us stronger...(or at least makes our processor faster than the last one)

I'll be back after payday.

 

Aaaah I want to load this but once again shit is preventing me.
This time it's coz pikey fookers stole my laptop, phone, and headphones after I invited them back from a club for breakfast and fell asleep.
How uncivilised some people are.
 

[
With one half of Mad-Tek away in a foreign land it falls to the more reliable member of the duo to supply us with some music.

...and what a good job he's done of it

Jackin' mate
Like that lad with the beanstalk

Any tips on compression? It tends to phatten up the sound,
L

What do people mean exactly when they say "phatten up", they often say this about compression and I'm guessing it means that it makes the sound in some way larger. If we are accepting that Phatter mean larger, then compression on a kick drum will make it less "Phatt", I would describe the effect as something closer to tightness, you can make the kick sound more punchy and clippy so it will cut through a mix better but I think people mistake some increase in the "size" of the kick due to imbalance when when setting the gain so in the end they think it sounds better mostly because they have made it louder...be careful not to add a few db of gain compensation when comparing the original kick with the compressed one because this can fool you into thinking the compressed version is better.  I feel that compression take away a significant portion of the low frequency enery out of a kick (but this is often a good thing)....if you're after a very heavy kick then multiband distortion, eq and some bit crushing like the Sonalksis plugin might be more use than compression in giving you a large sound. But then when you play it on a big rig rather than you're little speakers at home it'll be too big so you better compress it.    Sorry i'm still a bit drunk from last night not really sure what or why I'm talking about. 

heyup
well done for that G, about time there was something new up.  Appologies for the missing Virus.  Won't be missing for long though by the looks of things! 
See u soon
J

FYI he doesn't bark and isn't incontinent, he's the perfect gentleman.

Was only kidding
It's the cutest dog I ever saw, he wouldn't stop licking the inside of my ear when I picked it up, but somehow I didn't mind.

Good luck finding a good home.
 

I'm sure this used to exist but maybe I was just dreaming:

Hard-Bag (A Hybrid of Hard-House and Handbag-House)

Ahahahah....can you imagine.

Isn't Pivo that incontinent dog, that never shuts up and loves destroying furniture? 

Stop looking at Hijack and load me some tunes ya bastard!

It's about time War came out, that's been one of my favorite tunes, i'm looking forward to checking the others.

Are there going to be some more photos put up somewhere? I recall someone with a nice camera snapping away.  Think there would be some entertaining ones.

yep, left it in the front room for you, I never had the other 1 though.
cheers.

Cool record btw.

Matlock.

Going to be there by the end of the week.

Get in.

(In an Alan Partridge voice)

Well that was a lot of fun.  Well done all who took part, thought we were lucky to get through, had a blast  Shame I smashed my controller keyboard in the semi-final (rock'n'Roll style), might have given them more of a run for their money in the final, but in fairness we were never going to beat them anyway so it didn't make much difference. Headphobe/Defazed worthy champions. 

Really am looking forward to this, a lot of talented peeps in that line up and I luuurve the croft as a venue.
Reckon those Mad Tek boys are gonna sneak it though !

Hahaha, you've obviously never seen us play live!! Thanks though.

Is that you Joby? you all set for Friday?

It is indeed, yeah we'll be there 7ish, had some troubles today but got it fixed. See you tomorrow.

I always though Bob Scratchet was a good name for a turntablist especially if you cut up festive tunes.

Getting excited about this, was foookin grand the last 1 I went to.

Now go make a tune Gyu! A really good one.

Any joy?
Also Ableton has its own delay compensation I think so maybe you could try that.

Have you tried using the same impulses in an alternative convolution reverb plugin, you can DL free ones, you can "bet" it might work.

Yeah that's a wicked mix, enjoying it at work. Nice one.

Bumpidge

Plenty of new tunes ready to blast out tonight. In for the late one.

Arc Bar this saturday gonna get proper filthy.

Back up to the top.^
Quality record this one.
 

Amazing!
Room 1 no need to comment
Room 2 best electro-breaks lineup i've seen in Bristol.

Yes Yes!

Check out room 2 @Dissident on march 3rd for an excellent electrobreaks lineup.  Synapse (Colony-Productions/Digital-Distortions), Bushby & Neil M-(Digital Distortions label owners & my favourite DJ's   ), Mad-Tek (Dissident/Digital-Distortions), Smiffy (Carnage/Electrickery) oh and that man who just posted up there^ who's not bad! (Subatomic Recordings/Trigger).

That's cool.

amok@21 [home] says:

There is plenty of good stuff being made but sadly much more bad stuff. Just stay away from the mainstream then you should be ok.

A few names of people making stuff that doesn't sound lame:

Si Begg
Jnr Hacksaw
Cursor Miner
Senor Frio
Synapse
AL Tourettes
Full Spectrum
214

Not sure where a manual can be found but just mess about with it for a bit, it's quite intuitive. Won't take you more than a few hours to get to grips with most of it. Any specific details and I might be able to help.

Bushby - Audio Tourism
Starts of kind of dubstep/grimey then evolves into quality electro-breaks. Doesn't come much finer than this mix...

Looking forward to playing at this, bound to be a lot of fun.

maybe hearing them on a monday is not quite as good as on sunday evening at the Glade when turning delerious but still made me laugh. 

My boobs bled from running once when I was a nipper but I was thin as a rake, was more to do with the back of the club logo on my vest being like sandpaper, I suppose it would have been even worse if I was fat.
