    NJ, thanks for all the vids.

    I've got quite a bit out of it. Especially tiny little bits of technique.

    I've even started a Trance track that sounds like something. I was thinking of calling it The Rings of Uranus - though I'll probably have to change that - it does sound spacey though.

    You know. What I'd really like is if you could talk randomly over the structure of a track you've already completed. The more random the better.

    The rambling is constructive.


    Anyone can show the basic "how to" - it's more the inbetweens where you say stuff - not with any particular clarity, but maybe clearer than if it was YTBS Rockschool

    Like the bit in the drum tutorial where you played with the decay on the hi-hat and talked about it. I kind of knew that already, and had played with it before - but now I have a different understanding and feeling for it, just by watching you doing your thang. It would probably go completely over the head of an absolute beginner - but for someone who's tortuously tried to learn all the different ways of achieving something, and not being sure of any particular method, it can be illuminating.

    You rambling away is great

    Ok, rambling posted up here (and a couple of other new ones).

    Youtube is allowing me to upload longer videos now also - so maybe can post some actual sessions soon (with rambling)

    Let me know if that's the sort of thing you wanted!

    Cool - quite a bit goes on there, If your into the Trance side also (and not my EDM antics) - Stuart is doing a Q&A on Reddits Trance section and you can quiz him there for advanced stuff about the main Binary set work that goes on :)

    http://www.reddit.com/r/trance/comments/gwlpa/binary_finary_ama/

    Will try to get that video up for Monday or maybe even tomorrow :)

    NJ, that was a really great piece. Lots of really excellent stuff in there I'd never heard before.


    I'll throw in something I know about laptops - that I've found out the hard way. Never block the fan intake (kind of obvious). Before you use the laptop - when it's switched off - blow through the fan outflow, to blow away dust build ups - since the fan airflow is one way, it has a habit of picking up deposits, the normal flow doesn't clear - mine picks up fag ash. Dust on the processor can causes a serious overheating problem - all processors have a panic, if they sense they're overheating - usually 80c, they automatically clock down - or trigger another panic that shuts off the machine (if you're in a hot room the chances are, if the processor can't cool as quickly as it normally would, you'll have a problem). Also be careful of sudden temperature changes - laptops are designed to run at room temperature. If you're at a winter festival in Poland and your laptop has been chilling at -10c, it will not like it when you try to wake it up. The shock could be enough to make it die.


    Thanks again for doing that tutorial.

    Wow, how did I miss this thread. Gold.

    Looking forward to a nice session watching these and then making music.

    Any chance of one on self-mastering?

    Cool cheers :) - There are some little bits of self mastering in there - but something to be avoided because of the issues with speakers/rooms etc...

    But saying that will do a brief run over typical things to avoid doing!

    I've got another 3-4 videos to do today, If i get a chance i'll show some tricks in them today :)

    I love warp. You can make nearly any sample fit with just a few seconds of tweaking.

    The sampler and simpler, I have really mastered yet. Like how to use one shot stabs and synths and pads and make them into instruments.

    ICN, I liked the sound of that bit you did in the tutorial.

    I liked to hear it fleshed out to a full track. Not with fancy bells and whistles - just kind of minimalistic.
