Dusty Chalk

Thanks for all the advice, guys. Actually, my bigger concern is that they'll "fix" the gnarliness/artifacts, and it will sound just like Audacity, so I need to hurry up and get around to it before they do that.

Not really, no. Distortions aren't well represented by Fourier analysis. It might give a clue but... Wanted to know if it was a piece of crap before I downloaded it. That NTFS software I downloaded certainly was.

I know how to slow down and pitch shift and everything, but the algorithm that YouTube uses is all gnarly and artifacty (probably because it has to be synchronized to the video), and it’s that particular distortion that I’m trying to recreate.

Apparently it's the best way to record audio without a loopback cord. I want to upload some drum and bass backing tracks to YouTube, play it back at half speed, and record it, because I can't seem to duplicate that particular distortion. Take for example (okay, this is the specific drum and bass sound I want to emulate) this, and play it back at half speed. At normal speed, it is just synth pop, but at half speed it just sounds so deliciously doomy. That said, if you have any ideas on how to emulate the distortion, I am all (ahem) ears. Bitcrusher?

Anyone use Soundflower?

You spent the day reflecting? (Aye keed, aye keed...)

He does the best covers. And the best metal faces.

Let's agree to disagree.

"snowblocked" sounds like the snow was blocked (as in cockblocked means the cock was blocked, not that something was prevented by cock). No? His status that started it all (which was not his first status about recording, he previously had posted how looking forward to recording he was). Him: "Fuck it, day 1 of recording cancelled. Fuck fuck fuckitty fuck. " 3rd person: "Why, what happened? " Him: "Outlying roads around Bristol snowfucked. " Me: "I'm stealing, 'snowfucked'." Him: "It's my word of the day." He managed to get all the rhythm section and some of the guitars recorded during the latter portion of one day, and the rest of the guitars and vocals recorded on the second day, so ... yay him!

A guy I know had trouble getting to the studio (to record their first album!) this weekend, and used the term, "snowfucked", which will hereafter be known to mean, "prevented from doing something by snow".

I have most of it. ?

Great band name, anyway.

Lassigue Bendthaus, Render The first thing I ever heard by Uwe Schmidt (Atom Heart on the Fax label, Señor Coconut, and simply Atom(tm) on his own Rather Interesting... label, and to this day, still my favourite. Finally remastered and re-released. Post-industrial/electro/ambient/experimental. So far removed from the Beatles that I would use it as an argument against their ubiquitous influence. https://atomtm.bandcamp.com/album/lassigue-bendthaus-render

I ? Pomplamoose so much.

The album, Crash and Burn is easily their peak in my eyes. And my favorite track,

Yeezh

John Foxx, with and without Louis Gordon, the Maths, and the Belbury Circle. Synthpop heaven!

Cheers. I vaguely remember seeing it way back when, but can’t be sure. Revisit or not, it was still a nice watch.

Hey, @acidbasement, did you watch this? I think he mentions 70,000 Tons of Metal, though not by name. Knucks, thanks for posting this. He's such a great storyteller, a very enjoyable listen, even with the weird edits.

Hey, @Knuckledragger, have you heard this version of Karmacoma before? I quite like it, it's a nice low key number to open a live set with, sort of like Talking Heads did with Psycho Killer in Stop Making Sense. Except with more tabla (I think that's the word for all that percussion).

Just found out Jessica -- a manager at the Tower Records I would most frequently go to, and with whom I had a lot musically in common (she was a huge fan of Meat Beat Manifesto/Jack Dangers and a lot of synth pop and industrial), and who was gregarious and vivacious and full of life and ...okay, yeah, I had a small crush on her -- passed away from a very aggressive form of colon cancer at the ridiculous age of 42. https://www.dailyitem.com/news/campus-theatre-manager-jessica-paquin-dies-following-battle-with-cancer/article_b64c1964-0490-11e9-86b3-d7aaf6f7567d.html?fbclid=IwAR3Q4R4qc9wclf5-mlxKZjiweny3sdxNCIOKpdUGjpr5-qBymTS0ip_0TK4 FUCK CANCER.
