  1. Bumpin' it: the first to call this 'techno' should get both his/her head and his/her ears checked; clickety-click. Drums from MPC, chanting monk sound Vintage Keys through Ineko, Rhodes from Virus C, background noise by ESI4000, all effects from 01v.
  2. Alesis Monitor One MKII's, passive, with the bass turned a bit back (the bass is rather present with 'm, so I consider that setting as 'neutral'). It was rather hard to refrain from feeding it .
  3. Quarryking, as for mixing tips: Monkey See Monkey Do : the EP is a bit up front and the higher tones might interfere with the singer's lead melody. I'd either compress it using the vocals as a sidechain (to suppress the EP a bit) or EQ the EP in such a way that it sounds a bit more mellow, warmer (maybe even transpose an octave down?) - as opposed to the voice which is a bit thinner. Guitar sounds good. Drums have a bit more roomy ambience; even though this is live and all together, making 'm a bit more dry (no exactly clue on the how here) would let 'm blend in better with the rest, I think. John 3:16 : the start sounds very warm, as a listener I feel like being enveloped by the music. Bass might be toned down just a little bit; but it contributes to said warmth. Some extra percussion comes in at the right time, but later on the solo guitar comes just a little bit too much up front. For some reason I couldn't directly download Dalit Girl. The mp3 files ended up as 0-byte files, and I've also tried a wget, but to no avail. It's not the kind of music I make (or am able to make - don't play guitar) but I hope it's helpful in a way .
  4. Techno and Hard House invoke specific styles. In the first case, a myriad of styles that all somehow rely on the vintage drum machines, with a constantly pounding 4-to-the-floor beat. In the second case, drums that are almost compressed to diamond, sampled preferably from other records, with a massive virtual analog sound that is detuned and drenched in delay or/and reverb. Hey, nobody's obligated to like my music, but the terms you use for it miss the mark by several miles. Therefore, you might either just say you don't like it, but calling it the wrong name and because of that name not liking it doesn't make any sense. It's like looking at a sportscar and saying "Dear Lord! I can't even -stand- trucks! What an ugly piece of work!". So be it. But what I make isn't "European" music. I don't think you can even pin several genres down at 'European music' because there's lots of different stuff coming from every country. I do not recall asking for feedback; the topic said "post your music here". Your 'criticism' could use some work, too; you fail to name anything I could improve on it (which would be called constructive criticism), you resort to name-calling, and as a reason for your harsh reaction you give 1) a bad mood and 2) "hating techno", which my music isn't. Which is why I posted the Music Guide; you can compare what techno is for yourself.
  5. Thanks! I have been making mostly of these short clips just to test out certain tricks (like the emulation of a C64, or little sounddesign experiments) ... I haven't made a complete song since early 2002. Here\'s another bit I made for a videogame remix site . I haven't bothered with making a decent orchestration; my main trick here was to play everything live (the drums are sequenced) and it was more of a lazy 'jam' thing than anything else, but since my brother visits the site almost religiously he wanted me to submit it for approval. Failed, but got a lot of positive comments, so maybe I'll rework it. The original comes from the SNES game "Jurassic Park", which has long fascinated me with its soundtrack and graphics. No problem, can happen to all of us. This is coming from an European who's terribly tired of the cookie-cutter trance, but who has a really hard time figuring out what was actually "hard house" or "techno" about the songs . But it doesn't even have a 4-to-the floor 909 stomping beat Oh, by the way : if you thought that was techno, here's a handy guide. You might like the acerbic commentary on some of the styles.
  6. Those are actually the 80's - the sounds you hear are mimicking a Commodore 64's soundchip.
  7. Just some little bits... http://synerjee.deadamerica.org/crap/sidereal.mp3 http://synerjee.deadamerica.org/crap/yoozsid.mp3 Oh, for those interested : first is MPC1k for the drums, Nord Micromod for the lead, mastering is a default preset by T-RackS. Second is completely done by the Micromodular, not even multitracked.
