Gearslutz is fairly shit though. Did anyone mention this yet? The only thing I can recall worth saving are tidbits from acreil's incredibly deep synth research, which spans everything from low-level Yamaha FM chip design to FFT synthesis techniques in PD. Also some reviews of practical purchases like monitors.

The rest is mostly what I can only imagine are a horde of fat, ugly, white dudes competing with each other for who has the best taste in $20,000 compressors.

GS has nothing on places like Super Best Audio Friends when it comes to abrasion and elitism. I dig 80's and 90's producers casually dropping in to spill the beans on famous tracks in the midst of a "how did they do it" discussion. The in-depth knowledge of 70's capacitors has a certain wow-factor as well. Just gotta ignore the capitalist bootlicking and so on. I can't recall any message board from the 00's era internet without sour or dull elements.

in retrospect the whole "gearslutz is going to change its name" debacle feels like something that would be in a stan kelly comic with the statue of liberty crying, and a guy with a shirt labelled "GOOD-HUMOURED INDEPENDENT PRODUCER" being pushed around by an angry witch or some shit

"""It's political correctness gone mad! I can't use a slur/ degrade someone and get away with it anymore!!! Times were better when I could spit on people I felt were inferior to me for arbitrary reasons""" kinda people.

My only association with gearslutz is the Rob Schnapf thread where he casually drops in with pro tips/studio anecdotes.  A+ thread.

Actually, yeah, I still read those Charlie Clouser and Steve Albini threads from time to time. Good shit.

I'm hardly a closed minded nun. Remember, I'm on a fucking IDM forum.... an IDM forum.. Think about that for a second before claiming people are closed minded nuns.
