Rhythm, you're forgetting rhythm.
Western music, especially since the dawn of the Impressionist and Modernist Era has seen a greater focus on rhythm and enunciation than melody. Japanese music generally lacks enunciation and rhythm, thus sounding a bit more like Romantic Era music.

Wow, Wideruled is back posting. Long time no see, man.

Oh yes, this thread.
Wait, this is the first time I have seen this thread, me thinks. Oh well, it's this thread.

It's 1 in the afternoon and we have yet to open our presents. *sigh*

"Inversion Puncture"
What is in your field of vision is not what you hit but rather whatever is not in your field of vision.

Congratulations, you son of a bitch.

1/sin(x) would produce a squarewave because if the maximum of the medium is being used in the transmission, we would only get the maximas of the medium and the alternations. Put through a limiter, it sounds like square wave (odd-harmonics) with a 270-degree linear wave (even-harmonics) missing its base harmonic.
tan(x) put through a limiter sounds like a saw-wave (all-harmonics) missing it's base harmonic.

Gabber kicks made easy! Just like wow!

The idea of techno - the actual genre of techno - is that dance music should not be difficult to make and not difficult to have it continue. When techno was originally coined by Kraftwerk, it represented a music solely made by machines. When the Detroit movement came into effect in 1982, it was all about rebelling against the machine by working with the machine. Because Detroit was ground zero of the automation of the auto-manufacturing jobs, it left people confused as to what to do with themselves when all the jobs they had were being lost to machines. The only way they saw to undo all of that was to work with the machines. Hence techno. If you listen to first wave techno (Sharivari, Clear, etc) you will hear that the music is very much like any other funk music being made during that time but with a darker edge.
In the second wave, bourne by the breakthrough of house music, techno became a form of music that was meant to have the night go on, keeping everyone dancing while not killing their ears, achieveing this by offering minimal melodies and simplistic drums. Artists who were the forefrunt of this were Jeff Mills (US) and Ritchie Hawtin (Canada). To have yourself recognised in this music was by demonstrating that you could make the machines do unique things while still having the minimal beats and minimal beats. The Bells is a good example, using cheap synthesisers and (then) even cheaper drum-sequencers and being able to do a lot with them. You also have to realise that most techno producers did not use computers until around 1991-2 and even then, they used the Atari ST and not the Commodore 64 and the Amiga.
Third wave, or "acid techno" is when they brought tweaking of the sounds to the forefront and mad it possible to have showcase pieces for techno, like DDR & Geezer's "Mad Cows on Acid" or Solar Quest's "Acid Air Raid" or more famously Pump Panel's Reconstruction Mix of New Order's "Confusion."

There is no other effect than possibly some reverb. Some of the tweaking you hear is some of the dithering you hear from it being down-sampled.
-
Nope, it's a downpitch.

Just letting you know that Edmonton is having one kinda themed like this too. But we're bringing in generic headliners like John B and the sort. *shrug*
-
So if it's Nintendo, and it's a rave, will people be doing mushrooms?
What kind of question is that? Of course they are.

A switch on my mixer.
-
Eh, don't worry about it. Fixed it myself. Needed a good few hours break to figure it out. D'oh.
-
New system, transplanted my Audiophile to my new computer and installed the drivers and for the life of me, I can't figure out why sound is coming out.
- RCA connectors in [Check]
- 1/2 inch connectors in the mixer [check]
- headphone jack and speaker jacks in [check]
- drivers installed [check]
- software navigable [check]
- Master volume 100% [check]
- Windows volume 100% [check]
- Speaker volume 25% [check]
- Audio routed to the Audiophile instead of the on-board audio [check]
Anything I am missing here?
-
37.04 km/h average. he was probably peaking around 46-7.
-
Most of my projects are processor-intense, not RAM-intense. That is, I tend to use and abuse softsynths and avoid sampling for the most part.

I intend to purchase XP Pro for it, not Vista.

I'm liking the tape noise added to it, but don't have much use for it ever since I got Nepheton.
