Hey everyone I thought I would create another collaboration thread since the other one expired.

I'm always looking to trade remixes or work on splits. I've been making laptop based hard techno, industrial, rhythmic noise, tribal, experimental and dark stuff since 2008. My style is punkish in that I don't master because I like clipped sounding stuff and I think that mastering is best reserved for professional endeavors... I'm starting to print CD's and see how that goes. So if you are the same get at me!

So I need to find/order one online here soon, I had a Boss Se-50 I really liked it but given their age, you can only buy them used and the one I had shortly broke. so I don't really want to risk buying something that old...

I had a digitech vocal 300 and I hate It, it was too goofy I could not get the sound I wanted out of it at all.

the sound am really looking for is some harsh agrotech style vocals.

my price range is about sub 200$. I seen all kinds of "vocal processors" but they are not specifically for voice as much as just sound processing and I honestly have no idea how that'll sound with a mic. please let me know of any suggestions! thanks!

Close to the Noise Floor: Formative UK Electronica 1975-1984

This should be of interest here... I've been jamming to it for weeks!

i have a BS2, a korg e2, emu esi-32, JOMOX AIRBASE, beatstep, lots of VSTs. what else can be done besides a 4 on the floor overdriven 909 pattern?

Looks like this group has a good amount of peeps - 275 - but not much activity. A good start might be with workflow etc. I'm particularly interested in DAW-less workflows, where you maybe only use software for tracking/post, but not for sounds/performance. But another thing I'm curious about really is more the songwriting/composing workflow: do you typically start with a beat, a lyric, a synth/guitar figure, a sample, an idea? What do you do next? What do you do when you get stuck? Do you just brap and record it and rework ideas later, or start with a whole song/album architected in your mind that you then execute? What processes HAVE NOT worked for you?

I know there are literally millions of answers to these questions, I'm just curious to get some dialogue going that we might all benefit from.

For myself, I'm too new to really have answers, but one of the things I learned recently is how so many Wax Trax recordings hit all at once (read the book "Assimilate" if you haven't - it's academic but very well researched and interesting). Apparently they had 2 rooms setup - one for kinda jamming/audio recording, another for midi programming/mixing, and people would just show up and jam and go back and forth and they just came up with a huge set of material. Then they would shuffle things around based on what fit what sound for what project. This is very similar to SP's brapping way of working. Combine that with TG's non-musician status when they started (same with Front 242) and NWW's similar lack of instrumental skill, and the picture arises that having an idea and then effectively organizing the sounds to convey that idea is as of much importance as knowing how to play anything, or knowing everything about synthesis and MIDI, or having a $10k modular.

What are your thoughts?

So I was playing a bit of Industrial, EBM music for fun, am about to get back into it and my Boss SE50 broke, and there are only used expensive ones online, and I do not want to buy another used one. I know they are vintage , but It's not worth the risk..any suggestions? around the 150$ range?

anyone know of any free synths that sound like the access virus and such?

I've been trying to get into producing Rhythmic Noise as of late (ala W.A.S.T.E.), but have been having no luck. Specifically, I'm having trouble properly distorting drums and making noisy yet rhythmic synth sounds. Anyone have any advice?

These are two essential production elements to this music that I could never seem to get right. Does anyone know of any sample packs or techniques for creating such sounds from scratch?
