also, i'm not really sure i made a good move with the Yamaha MG24/14FX (ouch, that hurt)

why??

i've blown my budget for the moment, but i was considering getting the MG32/16FX or whatever it is...

i admit nothing

I haven't finished a song in over 5 years.

My best song comes in at a total of 25 seconds.

I am the biggest fan of my music.

I am the biggest critic of my music.

I am my music and my music sucks.

Made my old tracks (3 years ago) without chords, just acid bass lines some leads and a bunch of old 808 samples. Most of it sounds great, is catchy as hell, good mastering etc etc. Then I tried to do chord progressions and now all my tunes suck to the nth degree, I never finish a song and get stuck with the same 4 bars over and over and over again.

:(

Also the best thing I have ever made, I made 7 years ago.

1) I have no idea how to construct a proper modular synth out of OSCs and LFOs.

2) I have a pretty nice home studio, and i barely ever make music. fuckin shame.

well, it _is_ pretty hard with just OSC's and LFO's -- i usually like an envelope or two, and a filter as well :)

I prefer ambiguous harmony through counterpoint rather than building chords.

I own more samplers than keyboards.

I like to build FM patches rather than subtractive.

I own 3 samplers (Exs in Logic, Kontakt 2, and Mach5) and I use NONE of them. Ever.

I write every song in Eb-Maj. I might transpose if I'm feeling annoyed, but everything is transcribed in Eb. It is the best key in the world.

Bb major here. but i dont stick to it atall, i just relish it more when i do come to it.

i dunno what you're talking about

:undecided:

Phew some of these make me feel way better about myself. Cheers dudes.

i'm a sucker for penis.

edit: i tried to make an ekt confession song, but i'm drunk and it ended up not very good

i made one

it's just that i'm not sure. i'd probably be better off with a (bit smaller) mackie. it's not that it's a bad mixer, feature-wise it's a fantastic deal. but the sound, so far, hasn't impressed me. my previous mixer was an alesis studio-24, i grew to love that sound, so i have to find new love for this yamaha's sound now, i guess. it's a bit softer than the alesis, i must say...

also, think again whether you really need 32 channels. and i don't doubt you have enough sources, just sayin'...

ok technically, that wasn't true^ i supposed ive loaded a few samples into the EXS here and there, but thats really like 5% of the time. the rest is all audio cutting/arranging

I'M SHIT
