There's some kind of saw chord synth thing I'm trying to recreate. It comes from LMFAO's Party Rock, Giga's Bring it on, and probably quite a few dubstep songs. Try as I may, I simply cannot figure out how to do it. I'm attaching a sample of the saw chord from Bring it on to this post. If anyone can tell me how to make this sound, I'd appreciate it. #Musician#Music
I hear the supersaw, there's some unison going on, a really tight envelope and/or some kind of gating/ducking effect. Someone else mentioned noise and yeah seems like there's some noise in it, or it's run through a saturator/distortion effect, or both. Could definitely be a wavetable of a supersaw being modulated, or possibly pulse width modulated saw like the classic Hoover synth (yes, you can modulate the width of a saw wave!).
@VectorP@dangero could also be some chorusing or other FX. With modern sound design the FX are nearly always a big part of the sound, so you have to take them into account.

In my live #music collecting hobby there are two kinds of grails to chase: those that might exist but probably don't, and those I know exist but haven't circulated digitally in any of the many online communities I'm part of. It's immensely satisfying when one appears, and that's the case with this specific, superb but short live Meters set from 1975. I had this on cassette circa 1988-91, lost it to a light fingered party guest & have been searching since. 1/2 #funk
This is the OG Meters at their very best: one of the best live #funk bands in history before the dragon bit them. Solid recording, not perfect but clear and strong, and the performance level is absolutely straight fire. The few other shows from this era are either softer performances or worse recordings so even though it's short this immediately returns to its place as best in class. I knew it had to pop up eventually! Thanks to everyone involved including @bourgwick for setting up the tapes bot
I have 1 rule when it comes to weather. You can only "hate" 1 season. If you hate 2 seasons or more, then you probably should consider relocating.
I really hate summer. Hot, sweaty, sun burning off your skin. Even in the morning, that morning run... not enough white reflective layers in the world.
On the plus side, it did inspire the song "Chasing Shadows"!
Vad många inte vet är att den geniala kompositören Puccini planerade en monumental såkallad Bad-Ring: fyra operor baserade på de fyra simsätten. Varken ”Unge Herr Rygg”, ”Fröken Bröst” eller ”Mister Freestyle” såg emellertid dagens ljus. Han hann sorgligt nog endast fullfölja ”Madame Butterfly” 🦋😢
#NowPlaying Laurie Spiegel's amazing 1980 album The Expanding Universe.
So many female pioneers in electronic music & musique concrète: Carlos, Derbyshire, Barron, Oram, Oliveros, Radigue, Pade, Ferreyra, Beyer, Jones (Glynis), Ciani, Rockmore, Amacher, Fagandini, Bokanowski, Nova, Toyama, Beat... #electronica#musiqueconcrète#music#electronic
Title track of the band's 1984 album, this sweeping ballad showcases a grand orchestration and Ian McCulloch's emotive vocals. Its poetic lyrics evoke a sense of longing and romanticism, culminating in a dramatic crescendo. Often considered one of their most iconic songs.
I've shared Trash Theory videos before but here's another one for the road. The guy's voice is so comforting to me? I just love that he talks about the lore behind all the music I grew up with and plays snippets of the songs he references. He's genius.
@Long_live_rock_n_roll For many of us, best known as the co-creator of “Rough Mix”, a beautiful 1977 collaboration with Pete Townshend, some of each man’s finest work.
@cory A listener's relationship should be with the artist, not the platform it listens on. Thus, pay the artist for the money, then listen to the music in the way that suits you as a listener.
@astiga that's the ideal to me — even closer to where we were with mp3s and players years ago. Enabling artists to have closer relationships to fans is a far better goal than inserting middlemen that squeeze both sides of that relationship.
