We get back on track after 10 years of disaster

I truly hope so.

I wanted to thumbs up your comment, but the NHL talk mids revoked my privileges.

The Glyn John's technique of 3 mics placed strategically on the drums is still used today in both home recording studios and the quickly diminishing major and professional studios.

Very nice.

Black text is much better than blue text for reading. Pretty harsh reading the thread titles.

Get ready for some heavy lake effect snow

Shovels on standby: Snow hits southern Ontario this weekend, additional squalls - The Weather Network

Snow will both start and end the weekend in southern Ontario, with some additional accumulations with lake enhancement and squalls. You'll want to plan ahead

They have to fix this new upgrade soon. I'm blocking less than 1000 ads per refresh now. That's never happened before!

You’d almost think they want people to quit using the site the way each new iteration is worse than the previous version…….

Don't get me wrong, I like him fine; he was in a boy band but he's actually got some decent songwriting chops in there...

But who decided to greenlight this thinking it'd make money? Who is this for?

I've been listening to a lot of ambient type music lately (Brian Eno, Aphex Twin, Vangelis, BofC). I know its not for everyone, but does anyone else listen to this genre at all and if so, any recommendations?

Do you use Spotify?
I find when I discover something I like, I listen to that bands 'Radio' playlist that Spotify creates and I discover lots of different bands that are similar.

Yep. I have a Spotify account and I have been following some of the rec's. I was more curious though to see if anyone here actually listened to this specific genre.

What’s your top recommendation I’ll give it a listen.

I remember aphex twin from while back. Not familiar with the other bands, but maybe check out Mortiis (ex member of Emperor).

Dude had surgery or whatever or prosthetics to look like a legit troll and does electronica/ambient type stuff. Let me know how close or far away I was with this recommendation!

I’d say a good starting point would be with something like Vangelis - The City, or the Bladerunner soundtrack. If this doesn’t jive with you, then you’ll probably hate the deeper ambient stuff that tends to not have a lot of traditional structure.

It’s a little dark for what I’m generally into but was still worth a listen. I was listening to a couple of cuts off the 1st album and it got me wondering what kind of synths he uses to get the “dungeon synth” sound. According to the Reddit community, it’s pretty much the cheapest, crappiest, stock General MIDI synth sounds you can find on a computer. I Iol’d. It’s amazing what some people can do with very little. Also, I swear that Mortiis dude is a poster in the Marner thread, based on looks alone.

Old school black metal sounds like it was recorded with a fisher price microphone in a bathroom, so it all checks out. And your comment about the Marner thread... Lolol
