stupid first world problems you're dealing with

This newer version of Ableton takes SO much longer to save.  But the last one crashed at the drop of a pin so I guess I'll just suck it up.

...scratch that.  The new one crashed 5 minutes after I posted that.  Music production is just an ongoing FWP.

I have used the "Ableton?  More like Disableton..." line to calm myself after crashes on numerous occasions.

I'm trying to find a venue that will let us throw a monthly IDM party, but this city is fucking outrageously expensive. One venue wants to charge $500 each night and their calendar is almost completely empty. They have more to gain by having people come in and buy drinks on a Thursday night than nothing at all. What the fuck.

I'm also looking into that, but the only person to respond so far is from Codeword.

I've been asked to do a remix for someone. It's a vocal track and I hate the vocals. I don't know what to do?

give them back the same track minus the vocals and call it a dub.

I don't like the music either. The only thing I like is the kick.

give them back the kick and call it a minimal techno edit.

Holy Ghost! did a remix of a Katy Perry song where the chopped her vocals beyond recognition and kept barely any of the original instruments, and even warped the melody. Just go nuts with it. Or pull a Rich and just write a new song and say you used samples from theirs.

- Divide content into kick, vocals, and the collective of everything else

- Chop collective into slices, MPC-style

- Sequence slices into palatable melody/chords 

- Vocode the new melody/chords using vocal track

- Leave kick (relatively) untouched

Oh come on it'll be brilliant.

Nah, I'll do something. Hopefully I'll be able to improve the original.

Are you officially chosen?  When I was summoned I was one among what seemed like more than 100 people.  They call people up at random from that group and then the defendant and prosecutor accept or veto who they want or don't want.  They had chosen the 12 before my name was called.  It was a pretty boring waste of an afternoon.  I was actually hoping I would get selected because it would have been interesting to see a court case first hand.  Plus I could tell the accused was guilty as fuck just by looking at him.
