Thank you for all your replies.

I'm going to install a ssd and see how it goes - any improvement, however small, has to be a good thing.

Cheers

Hi all, I've been running R8 on an old laptop with some difficulty/limitations for some time now, and really need to buy a new one before a potential upgrade to R10. However, before jumping in, I'm exploring some other cost-saving options as I'm on a seriously tight budget. Can I install it on an ex...

Great tune. The floating keyboard could go That Keyboard took me days to program, TBH I did original program it for this video which I think it fits much better in.. https://youtu.be/lNWtxrxrgp8 Hah, I get your point - synchronising those keys must have been a right old head-spinner. Very kitschy a...

Btw, your mixes are top-notch. Out of curiosity, do you add any reverb at the mastering stage?

Cheers

I plan on releasing an album with CD Baby before the end of this year and then decide what to do from there.

Great tune Mr Burrito. I'd love to hear that album

Impressive! Spot-on with the melody carrying the piece. To hell with multi-tracking and stereo, long live mono!

Does the trick, I'm quaking

Joking aside, nice mix with all the elements communicating a strong sense of space and clarity

Very very nice, I really like the atmos/sense of space you've created here

Great tune mate. I'd say leave it as it is

A track from a new album in the works.
Cheers, have a nice weekend.

Nice one Mr sweatband. Grooves along very nicely

Very cool indeed. That "rave next door" LPF vibe is marvellous (if that makes sense)

Reminds me of Leftfield:

Hi,
I'm looking to collaborate with visual artists (mainly graphics/film), and need to know where/how I can contact any. Are there any dedicated forums, or places to advertise, I should know about?

Thanks

Edit: apologies if this has landed in the wrong forum

collab of his with a folky / indie band

Probably King Creosote

Quality as usual Mr Lansford. Mr Blake would have been very pleased

Great tunes (had a listen to the previews). Really captures the atmosphere of those influences. Well done!

And this...

Great work Zac. I like how your percussion parts add something more than the characteristic techno. Have you listened to any Jon Hopkins? If not, I highly recommend his album Immunity Thanks., I meant to look up that album before I replied but haven't... The name rings a bell, a Scottish spoken int...

Really nice work aeox. Mix sounds great this end (through a mono speaker as well). No mouth noises to worry about. DR-1 is a wonderful verb

Just jumped through your tunes (a better listen later at home). Melodies evolve amid cascading layers - I like how they shift through different registers. The right amount of predictability and a perfect balance of dirt/polish. Very very nice, you should collaborate more often

I'm getting a "You have not provided a valid SoundCloud URL" message this end mate

+ a nice subtle trick to convey movement is to automate the tempo - add a couple of bpm to builds/chorus parts, or maybe the whole piece e.g: track starting at 100bpm, ending at 102bpm

Anyway, just something I would do
