Just marvelous!

why is it ok to endlessly discuss and drag out every possibly even slightly related to this album topic, across several threads and this one which is almost 200 pages now, for an album that still isn't out yet, but not ok to talk about the mastering?

 

which, correct me if i'm wrong here, IS a part of the record... ?

 

just like all the other stuff that is apparently ok to obsess over and nitpick, such as the packaging, the gear used, production, timeline, relation to previous stuff, relation to other artists, mixing, etc etc etc etc. the mastering is a part of the album too. but for some reason if you talk about THAT, some people become bitches.

 

seriously, youre in a thread thats almost 200 pages for an album that isn't out yet, and youre complaining because some other people are obsessing over a detail. in a thread thats 200 pages of obsession. at a forum thats a got a million pages of obsession on it. and youre here because of your own obsessions and your posts here contain numerous obsessions. so to ludds 'you fucking people', i'd say dude look at your fucking post count and how long youve been here and step back and reconsider your assertion that you arent 'fucking people' yourself.

 

and this is all besides the fact of the post earlier showing that the man himself has expressed the same exact type of concerns that people are ironically stepping in to defend him from. which just makes the whole thing a bit next level derpy

spoken like a true mastering engineer

whats that even supposed to mean? you post that like its got some point behind it. can you put the supposed point into words?

It is what is.

 

Just enjoy it man.

Who are you talking to Mister E?

anyone who it applies to

 

i just dont get the hostility and ridicule towards people for doing the same thing as everyone else at this forum does on a regular basis, which is nitpick details obsessively. especially when the detail is just as relevant to the topic of this album as anything else thats been discussed. but i think i laid it out pretty clear in that post.

I'm just messing with you! I respect your knowledge. Sorry if I have offended you.

 

It isn't the first time though, it seems you have a hard time taking internet posts lightly....

Cool.

 

I think talking about mastering/recording techniques ets is all good, i'm well down for that. All I was saying that certain people who are well versed in these arts can be one dimensional with their opinions and will flat out say that something is done bad or wrong. Nothing is wrong if you get a result you like.

This is discussing it, not dissmissing it.

lol it's fucking idm, there are no rules

 

 

the pumpy limited sound is an intentional part of the sound design, it sounds wicked

i mean yeah i agree with that. i think maybe he had it mastered that way on purpose for whatever reason. i think skibby had a point with how the bass reacts to the compression/limiting that gives it a big sound, maybe having been part of that plan. i like the way the track sounds. but i think it makes just as much sense for other people who express a bit of concern about extreme compression to do that, just as rich himself did in that interview

Fixed

This goddamn thread is worse than cancer.

when i say rhythm is a dancer

are those reebok or nike?

it's limited to heck but it still sounds pretty good. the low end is great. whoever mastered it knows what they're doing.

 

oh god now i am discussing this as well ffs.

 

I think this man can master his own trakcs don't you

After all these years I've finally realised that Alberto Balsam sounds like shit.



And Windowlicker is a terrible production.

pretty good fake huh?

 

watmmer made that

 

did you see him or her push the render button?

 

 

Nope but what does that matter?

 

Did you see richard push the render button on any of his releases? How do you know they weren't all made by his cat who is a visitor from another galaxy that only landed here to make us listen to strange sounds?

 

 

 

You're right Coolandfrank, Syro does sound a lot like Trackermatte so far. I doubt either of them would be offended, they're both great artists.

 

And Stephen, I know you're trying to hold together the seams here with respect to keeping the community intact. But I'm convinced Mug Bass was made by RDJ. It's not outside the realm of possibility that RDJ made his own 'fake' Tuss song. besides, Nobody else could have made it because it has the inimitable squidgy bassline exactly like in minipops (2:40-) No other musician or song that I've heard utilises this, unless one of you who know more could share such a youtube or soundcloud clip.

 

psh, its music forensics 101

Edited September 9, 2014 by skibby

Yeah except I was lurking here when the original artist posted it and also he's posted in this thread.

 

 

I'll leave er' at that!

 

Glad you like the track, whomever it's by.

+1

I don't care if some tracks are 'bricked' if it augments then in some way, but many tracks work because of the dynamics right? I just don't want to be listening to my super illegal whole syro album upload on soundcloud since I'm trying to make money off of the ads and be staring at a rectangle for a waveform.
