Been listening to a lot of mixes and productions from Marcel Dettmann, Norman Nodge, and other stuff off the Ostgut Ton label. I'm trying to wrap my head around how to produce some of the dirty, gritty textures they have floating around. And a lot of sounds feel like they've been bitcrushed or run t...

Would this help: http://www.ronnypries.de/tmp/ ?? Some barebone dubchord tutorial i wrote a while ago... Thanks! Got great results. Haven't necessarily been looking for this sound, but gave it a go and already starting to build a couple tracks. Used 2 triangle oscillators, and pitched one down an o...

I wouldn't get the G5, by now it's a 4 year old machine and pretty slow. I'm pretty sure your Macbook can handle about the same amount of plugins through Logic, not incl. the benefits from faster hard drive and more RAM (aka large sample libraries). Well, I'm starting to think that I'd benefit from...

But for the same price ($3k~) of the r16, I could get a nice G5 desktop off craigslist ($700~ from what I'm seeing), an interface like the motu 24i/o ($1500) and a Zed 24 ($700).

don't have uTonic in front of me, but I believe this is the only way. Not a bad workaround creatively.

dont even think about writing a whole tune till you can get some simple loops together which you're totally into, then move on to the next stage. care to elaborate on this "next stage"? i'm pretty much at the point where i'm a little comfortable with my 8-bar loops, just unsure how to pro...
