There's a severe lack of DAW descriptions in the wiki. If you're good with your tool of choice, consider writing a paragraph about it.
Learn that Image-Line is going to bring back graph editors eventually, and that you should just buy whatever you fucking want to buy though
Remember to use clyp.it to post your tracks/WIP : posting a clyp.it is just providing sound for a question, posting a soundcloud link is making self-advertisement and the thread doesn't need that.
Remember to check other peoples' clyp.it links to keep the thread health.
Also, what's your favorite piece of gear that isn't your computer?
Since OP didn't add an edition, how about we make this one "amateur studio" edition?
What's your setup like? What's your dream setup that could actually be in your reach some day?
Which of your equipment has caused you to have the most buyer's remorse?
Post them shitty studios!
Here's mine. I live in a shithole apartment for now, as I save for a house, and produce out of a multi-pistol case that holds everything except for my vocoder.
My typical setup:
>Tascam DP-006 Portastudio for recording
>Arturia Microbrute for my synth needs
>A shitty Digitech RP55 that I use as a vocal-effects box.
>A Shure SM58 Mic
>A Boss DR-670 Drum machine for dem beats
>An Electrix Warpfactory Vocoder for vocals on choruses
It's a weird setup, but I love it. I used to just use a PC and FL Studio with an LPK25 MIDI keyboard, but I wanted to make a hardware setup too.
Should I get an Akai MPC 500? I make shitty rap beats and want something I can take with me when I go on trips and shit?

What does /mu/ think of King Krule?
Been listening to him a lot lately, had a terrible break up a few weeks ago and basically his lyrics speak up to everything I'm feeling now. And he's just a fucking kid. What a prodigy IMO 2bh familias.

Posting with names and/or tripcodes is encouraged so that we can get to know each other. We also need more volunteers for people to compile our weekly tracklists. If you are interested, reply with your theme idea.
1. This one sounds kind of modern but someone trying to do more of an old school sound. Or maybe it could be a more modern recording that Oscar Peterson did because it sounds like there is loads of technique in there. I kept noticing the drumming so I think the drummer is pretty good but sometimes it sounded like the bass couldn’t really keep up. This one gets 3 stars.
2. Here the recording quality sounds older, maybe more like the 40’s. It’s very beboppy, so I’m guessing it’s Bud Powell since he is my favorite bebop pianist. It’s pretty unbelievable how relentless he is and how he just keeps the lines flowing. I also like all the accents that the drummer is adding in. I’ll guess it’s Max Roach. This is a great example of the energy and motion that I love about bebop. 5 stars.
3. This recording sounds a little bit more modern too, but I recognize the tune as ‘Round Midnight by Monk. I don’t think it’s Monk on piano but it sounds like somebody trying to imitate him like Wynton Kelly or somebody like that. The pianist had some pretty cool moments and I liked his Monk imitation but the whole thing sounded kind of impromptu, but not really in a good way. 3.5 stars.
>>61320468
4. Very relaxed and gentle. It sounds like Bill Evans. I really enjoy this kind of thing even though there’s nothing really exciting happening in terms of dynamics or anything like that. It’s something that you can listen to closely with headphones and follow the chords and melody or just put on as background music while you’re doing something else and it works just as well for both things. Maybe some people would say that’s a bad thing but I don’t think it is. 4 stars.
5. I recognize this as a Duke Ellington tune but I can’t remember what it’s called. Come to think of it, this could be Duke playing it. It has that nice, gentle touch and sort of sounds like it was approached by somebody who has a good idea about arranging and orchestration and stuff. I liked this one but it actually felt a little short. I thought it could have gone on for longer. 4 stars.
6. This one sort of has the same relaxing quality as the Bill Evans one where it could work well as background music too. But then it has a lot more use of changing dynamics at some points. I like it when they go back to that minor section. And then there’s one section where the piano player does like a really heavy swing that was cool. This one was fun to listen to. 4 stars.
>>61320481
7. This one sounds like it might be Monk. He has to be on here somewhere right?? Those chord clusters and short little melodies sound pretty Monkish. It’s pretty cool and the longer it goes on the more I think this is Monk playing something that he wrote. It’s not his best but it was fairly solid. I don’t really have much to say about it other than that. 3.5 stars.
8. Hey I know this one! It’s Stolen Moments by Oliver Nelson. It sounds like a more modern arrangement. I don’t really know too many modern pianists though who play in a more traditional style like this. It is kind of nice to hear this style with good quality recording and I like the deep, rich chords in the arrangement that he does. It sounds like he figured out all the horn parts from the original recording and used that for his voicings. This one was cool. 4 stars.
9. This reminds me of Bobby Timmons or somebody like that where it sounds very old-fashioned bluesy. It was pretty good at the beginning but by the end it seemed like it was getting a little bit repetitive. There were some good blues licks in there and the trio had a nice swing the whole time that was fun to listen to. 3 stars.
10. This one almost sounds classically influenced, like its based on Bach or something like that. But besides Brubeck I don’t know many other pianists who did that sort of thing. I’d probably guess it was Bud Powell if I wasn’t pretty sure that track 2 was Powell. Anyway the pianist had some great technique and seemed very comfortable with playing bebop. This one seemed to stretch on kind of long though and by the time it got to the end I was very ready for it to be over. 3.5 stars.

>Did you see them live, what was it like?
Saw em twice in '13, really fun stuff. First time was excellent, the second time was a little more boring but none the less great, the crowd was more boring that time around.
>If not, what's your favorite bootleg?
Either their acoustic recordings from 03-04 or the Starlight Ballroom in 06, probably the best representation of their guitar and electronics period

>Favorite era of the group?
04-06 when it was Feels and SJ
>Most underrated album?

"I don't get it. Whatever happened to musicians smoking a carton of fags and drinking a fifth of Jack Daniels? You go backstage nowadays and everyone's got a bottle of Perrier water and a bag of nuts. Why does everything have to be so clean and healthy?"
