Probably THE most important part of a decent setup. I found that before I had lasers my music usually sounded like a cross between paul oakenfold and miley cyrus. after adding lazers it was all like wrrrzzzshupppppp boom Boom BOOM wrrsheuuupppp crhhhhzzzzhhzzhz kt tk tk tsch tk <-- (HELLA IDM FO SHO) Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide Hautlle's signature Hide all signatures Albums/EPs Free to DL or stream Newest stuff is on Soundcloud Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/50360-watmm-give-me-the-rundown/#findComment-1159806 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hahathhat Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 tb-303 is best for laser springs i enjoy making music that features lasers in the dark.

Hautlle Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 Dude, how did you get your 303 modded up for the laser spring? I heard that usually destroys the main board, and that's if you're lucky?! I think the only thing that could make it better would be smoke or something. If you could have smoke that the lasers shine through and then use the way they affect the lasers as an LFO. Run that through some high pass filter with a ring mod on it, maybe a little vocoder and use some audience noise as the mod for that, add some compression and record. INSTANT CLASSIC! holy shit I can't believe I just gave that idea away or free...

Hautlle Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 (edited) Woah guys we're amassing a very good list here! A few problems I'm having though; firstly I believe cowbell would fall under quality equipment. And where would tits fall? I think they should be really close to the bottom, and maybe not on the list at all as I don't think they're necessary for quality IDMZ as demonstrated by most of our idols and brethren. Cats are slightly necessary, but on this matter I cannot speak from experience. I'm not much of a cat person. Perhaps that's why I don't have a record deal yet? So as a refresher: 1. Ears 2. Quality Equipment (including cowbells) 3. Lasers 4. Smoke 5.Robots 6.Cats ... 100. Tits edit: This list is not finalized. Please feel free to adjust the ranking to suit your own personal needs/style Edited November 13, 2009 by Hautlle Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide Hautlle's signature Hide all signatures Albums/EPs Free to DL or stream Newest stuff is on Soundcloud Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/50360-watmm-give-me-the-rundown/#findComment-1165046 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps that's why I don't have a record deal yet? cats bring good luck to the studio, they definitely deserve a good spot. Tits are important, but more in the sense that you'll get to grab some tits when you're successful Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/50360-watmm-give-me-the-rundown/#findComment-1165264 Share on other sites More sharing options...
