Whats with all the retarded "what is music" posts cropping up. Gronmon's post had potential to be interesting but turned into "derp music". We all write music, yet over and over again people feel the need to bring up this silly game of defining it and just slowly edging towards some remark like "art is subjective", someone flames and then gay jokes come up as a diversion.

BDSM

You forgot to flame you bastard tickler who would never receive more then one "yes" from a judge on American idol.

I enjoy it mos def.

Religiousy stuff

Religion is an interesting topic... I'm a spiritual person of sorts... but I'm more to thinking that you ultimately make your own path through life. Death? Who knows, but I'd like to think that there is some part of the self that continues on. Preservation of consciousness or something like that.

I've studied most religions to some extent though. That version of Satanism seems interesting. I'm familiar with the LaVey "worship yourself" variety to a decent extent.

Music

I'd say that silence is part of music... in that notes wouldn't be notes without it. Rhythm would be useless as well.

Now, to saw that silence is cound... that would be inaccurate.

*Sound*

and...

BDSM

Hey I'm down lol. Gotta keep shit interestin right?

Speaking of religion, I never hear much music of it around here. Or am I looking in the wrong places?

Lies it was to show that there can be music developed out of atmosphere, that the silent space within songs as we know it are just as important to the noise spots. Honestly if a song is just a bunch of noise trying to drown out any possibility of silence then it's just kind of annoying

I agree with you, mostly, on the first count, but I make noise music and I think it sounds damn pleasurable. I don't entirely like it when people call a silent piece or a noise piece or performance just "art". It's also music no matter what is said, BUT having said that, music is under the category of The Fine Arts so really it's all about context.

Now having said THAT brings me to the next step of theory: Music is aurally pleasurable. That would mean that no matter how much we discuss it (thanks to all who put their thoughts in, you all get 5 points) music is defined by the listener. It has to do with the theory of metaphysics and how everybody perceives the world differently. Of course, I could've said this earlier but, I love meaningless debates.

Big Red's got money to spend!!

Skip to the end if you're lazy. I finally sold my keyboard (Roland Juno G). It was just too big a learning curve for me, and I know how to do most of what a Juno G can do on Ableton so having a workstation just wasn't worth it.

Now, first of all, I need a midi controller. 49 or 61 keys is fine. I want weighted keys and that's the most important thing, I want to be able to play this thing dynamically. I also would like after touch and plenty of assignable knobs and sliders. I've heard a lot about the M-Audio keyboards and that seems to be where I'm leaning right now. Does anyone have any thoughts or opinions on a midi controller? Also, I play piano so I'm not yet into any other more creative midi controllers.

I then have a little money left over to spend. ($500) Right now I'm recording with a shure condenser mic and a Zoom s2t recording interface.

Here is something I produced with that set up:

1. I'm would like to buy a midi controller (specs above), what do you recommend?
3. I have $500 dollars to spend on audio equipment, what is the most effective thing to buy?

Windows Media Player...if it's on your computer--delete it. Fucking dumbass audio player

well I think I will break the stream of debates and arguments with a question.

How would I go about being a voice talent for someone, and would I need a better Mic than this one that came with my laptop?

I know about mics peaking and also the "SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS" problem but I would think this Built in one would be able to deal with just voice acting

I think i may be committing a sin against man kind... I'm in the works of a D n' B Mix of "I Want You" By The Beatles, and i'm doing most of the work from memory, and it sounds almost nothing like the original song, with maybe a few similarities lol Nut i actually blame Bjra for his Madness Day entry since part of the song reminded me of it and i wanted to tab it out, and now it's becoming a monster... No doubt there will be some angry listeners out there when i actually post it xD

meh, you think turning a beatles song into a dnb will make NG users angry? try final fantasy. every time i turn one of those into a dnb kids throw up in their mouths for no reason other than the fact that i'm not nobuo uematsu.

idiot children.

oooh there's a tire fire waiting to happen :P

they don't like it when you butcher nobuo's works :P

fuck nobou

Sorry, that last statement was more directed at nobuo's senseless fans than nobuo. Dunno, when it comes to music it's always overzealous fans that ruin it for me. I'd honestly love the Beatles but every time someone mentions them I have play devils advocate. Someone will say "oh, but they were so influential" or "they made the industry." FUCK THAT. Bach did it first and before him it was some cave man named gorg.

rant >:(

Haha you admit to remixing final fantasy music. I bet you snuggle up to a Mog plushy doll at night.
