wow, i made some weird music back in 2011 http://bandcamp.mynameiser.in/album/live-from-the-silver-billabong-ski-chalet
i kinda miss working with propellerheads reason
there's a lot i'm glad to have improved from back then, but there's also a lot i miss
it used to be way easier for me to just pick something up and do it
these days if i release one track a month that's a good streak (i am not currently in a good streak)
ahah track 4 "solitude" was me just earnestly trying to rip off The Flashbulb
i used to listen to a lot of his albums back then
honestly? i lost a lot of this "high quality production" feel when i switched from Reason to music trackers
but i feel like i gained a lot more creative freedom compsition-wise
i'm not sure which one i like best
i should pirate reason again and some sample packs and try to make music like 2011 again
@squirrel i forget, do you ever use renoise? i was pretty happy with how it fit between "real DAWs" and trackers back when i still regularly used it
@revenant yeah but i never got along with it well
@revenant in retrospect it felt really dirty
@squirrel eh, doesn't seem much dirtier than e.g. using Kontakt or any of htat stuff
@revenant what really helped my output flow with reason was a friend taught me how to use most everything in it and gave me huge instrument and drum packs where the drums were like pre-sliced and you just dropped them in and boom you have a whole drum track with fills and everything and making leads was really easy and bam you have a cheap modern DAW song
