--> here is a short list of production tricks that annoy me.

1. Filtered Vox
2. Panning for no reason.
3. panning synced to a boring LFO
4. comb filtered drum breaks
5. rhodes in a dnb song
6. trance gate
7. reverse cymbol build up
8. switching time sigs for no reason.

sad monkeys being beaten with bad time in small cages, and then having their genitals soldered to anvils and thrown onto a highway.


unicorn princess flying through cromatonatic multiplexors of prismatic rainbow dream beats delivering to my sad soldered monkey genitals the molecular thump of a universal concordance.

I'm guilty of most sins I bitched about too, especially pulling down a filter with resonance over hihats! (although I like that, really)


Gated reverb.


Reverse reverb.

reverb
early reflections

Using computers to make music

Conducting a choir made up of cats!

Recent blogs: erasure (ignore), my little pony  

1) Short chords played on the open hat of a house beat
2) -8db RMS mastered non-dynamic overly-hot catered to the non-musical going deaf masses SHEEET!
3) Major Sevenths chords as a climax note
4) That vocoded vocal freeze whatever the fuck that is, that Cher started
5) Holding one note in Absynth and selling it as ambient

4) That vocoded vocal freeze whatever the fuck that is, that Cher started


autotune at 100%, yeah that sucks.

agree with 7 especially. every trance tune bar none has the exact same reverse cymbal build up and/or a +---+---+---+-+-+-+++++ snare rush, ffs

I so need to upload an old song of mine now. It was when I first discovered supatrigga. I was all like OMFG AUTOGLITCH!!2 and made no attempt to hide it on that song

why cats? why?

I don't like stuff that sounds like a machine with no soul.
I like the sounds of underwater, outerspace, underground, dampened, cave echoes, dead-zone one-string tunes, drunken drums
