This should be fine for making music. I had a much worse system for most of what I made. For the soundcard, I recommend an old Delta-66, its what I use and its clean. There are probably better soundcards, but you pay a high price. Look on ebay for the soundcard.

MEAT BEAT MANIFESTO - subliminal sandwitch

.. But we all know the only thing that really matters is..."da hookas, bitches and fame "

I can relate to this, my job is a bore and doesn't use any (well 1%) of my brainpower. I can got totally engrosed into making music and forget everything else. I think after a year of not having a studio put together I was remembering why I first started.

This thread is about why you make music. I am curious about different answers on here, so please try to be as honest as possible. I will start this off: I have always been interested in art mabe because my mom was an artist or because I went to alot of museums as a child. In school I took art and did well, but it took me longer to draw a good scene then others and I could see I wasn't as talented as some others. I also wrote poetry, but no one I knew read poetry on their own time so I don't try to write. When I was in college, I started going to raves and after one I would dream that I was still at the rave and the djs got better. So I bought a workstation and tried to re-create the sound in my head from those dreams. Basically that is it. I feel as though I am super-picky about what kind of music I listen to and therefore couldn't leave the sound to someone else.

Cybernetika - Nebula Decay

Today is happyday Got Mr Peculier -mind dalia Menza -retrofuturism

Back in 2000 or 2001 I bought Logic Audio Silver for $400. and I think I used it three times before diching the damn thing for something simpler. It had a diskette that allowed me to install it three times and with new computers/crashes that went fast... I feel for you Auto, that sucks.

I like discogs. It is extremely convenient and like everything super convenient it is expensive, that's life.

Well I am listening to this (AGAIN!) and I love it to death. It is the perfect album to listen to in the early morning. I would certainly have paid money for this as it is top quality. Thanks Nemo and LSG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At some point did the market for chill-out die? I remember when it was huge in the mid '90s. Anyway I like what he says, will listen when I get home.

The only time I play EP's anything other then 45 is when the lyrics get obviously sped up. But then that's just me- I like fast : 180bpm is good!

DJ River - The Reminder (spring 05 mix)

V/A Eye-Q music best of... lost the cd case so couldn't give you track names.

When I was new at it I to started with the drums/percussion, but then I made a few 'songs' that I listened to afterward and thought there is something missing ...oh, I forgot the melody music is rythem and melody and you better get that straight in your mind before you spend hours fiddling with just the right kickdrum. So now I think of an origional melody or riff and get that recorded and build my song or music or art from there. Not so easy to be origional with a melody, but with patience and not being afraid to try new stuff it is quite rewarding when you get an origional pattern. I must also warn you it is downright hard work. Mentally hard that is. I take lots of brakes and let myself 'cool off' with mindless activities like watching tv.

The SH-201 is supposed to be a redo of the 101. I liked the sound but I don't know how long its usable life would be. ps they had to call it the 201 because its not analogue. ^Reznik, that pic is too glossy to be sexy.

I have taken my cds on board many times, no trouble. That reminds me of the time they were with me and I had to make a call from a payphone and forgot the case...I RAN back when I remembered, still there thankfully.

APHID MOON - Human Race

Analogue always better then digital. The MS 2000 just felt cheep to me, the keys are crappy, the knobs slid off...

Here is an FYI : Releases all sound the same because that is all labels will release at the time. The different, unique sounds are not released usually because labels don't take chance on it. This is why genres stagnate.

Funalogue is an EP - a great EP! They are the one and only.

Velvet Acid Christ - Lust for Blood

Liquid Air - the increasing difficulty of concentration

Hello rino, I love Zagreb its a beautiful city! I just got this album. Overall I would say I like it. I don't have any of the other albums from Koxbox so I have nothing to compare it with. That is probably a good thing though. I've only listened to it a few times, but I already know I like the last 5 tracks best with 'Side Affect' being my favorite. The music is well produced and sounds quite well thought-out. The first two tracks just don't do it for me, you could say they are so-so. It is #5 that starts to get really good for me so I may end up skipping the first ones on later listens. I hate long reviews so I am not going to discribe each and every track. Everyone has their own opinion anyway. Overall I would give it 8/10

Roland re-released the SH101 and it sounds good to me, but it is very poor build quality so I didn't get it. Still wonder if I should though.
