I got a dumb question regarding the new forum (again). On the main page, under "Members online now", it says "Total: 2,682 (members: 601, guests: 1,876, robots: 205)". What are the robots? I know its not Provorov...

They’re Russian bots. They’re sent here to ensure that everybody knows how much North America ruins their hockey players.

205 is an awfully high number for just Peter25 and kshahdoo

They're actual bots, used for things like search engines.

For those into the Canadian music scene, Gord Downie has passed away at the age of 53.

Sad day for Canucks, the unofficial voice of a nation - RIP Gordie, a real beauty!

Mostly just messing around, possibly recording. It would be really heavy psychedelic sounds that I'm after.

The JDXI is an incredible piece of work. I own one personally and would recommend 10x10.
I use a lot of soft synths in my personal work and pro jobs I do but there's something about compact but effective hardware. It gives a character to the sound that cant be matched.

For the cash its absolutely perfect.

I could talk about gear all day. People come in and ask for psych sounds and I'll pull out JDXI or this minimoog reissue my mentor has that is an absolute revelation. Often though when younger artists come in to record "psychedic" its less 70's acid rock and more 2010's vaporwave if youre familiar with that subgenre. Ugh.

What are some artists youre inspired by? If you dont mind me asking

 

[Amorgus]

Oh god I wish I had the money and talent to tinker with synthesizers. I am a HUGE fan of New Wave and old Prog Rock and have been thinking about trying piano lessons again. I watched that documentary I Dream of Wires and never realized how all those old analog modules worked. I thought it was all onboard with the keyboard, not like an old-school phone operator setup!

I'd also love to screw around with a Theremin but they're kinda pricy for a poor single sap like me.

For the project I'm going to be attempting I'm looking to create something that is really heavy psych. Like really heavy. My main inspirations for it are UFOmammut and Sunn O))).

Specifically I'm looking to do things similar to what's going on here:


or here


The idea is to make it a sort of drone/sludge/psych mix, but it's a solo project so I'd be doing it all.

 

[Sombastate]

So, i tried REAL hard to be the goal song for the VGK, as i know the guy who makes all music decisions for the team.

I didn't succeed, but i think I've convinced him to put my song into rotation haha

That would be pretty damn cool.

He's the music programmer for a local radio station too and has always had a soft spot for local musicians (he used to be one himself). So i tried to play the hockey angle, as well as him liking my song. But they picked a Panic! At the Disco song (Vegas Lights), which makes sense. Cant be mad at that.

I think you'll find that you can be mad at just about anything if you try hard enough.

Gotta love how this site sometimes cuts off tweets half way and can never see the rest of them. Insane...

 

[Young Sandwich]

It happens on pretty much every tweet for me. If you click on the tweet image it will open the link in twitter though, so theres that...

Yeah, that's a hard choice to be mad at. That would still be cool to get your song in rotation though.

Sad, indeed. TH was a great group. Some of their lyrics were a bit pretentious, but overall they were solid, wrote great music, and did Canada proud.

My friend who died last year after hockey was a huge Hip fan. At his funeral, his bandmates played "Ahead By a Century."

 

[BernieParent]

Nice of the Kings music man to be playing the Hip on heavy rotation in their game against the Canadiens.

 

[Tripod]

Yeah you know the Hip were loved when every show including Sportscentre had his passing as the lead story. Every commercial for the Leafs game went to break with a Hip song as well.

I'm here with my review of season two, episode four of "Designated Survivor":

It stinks and Kiefer is still having trouble breathing.

So I was on my Iphone, clicked on this thread and a picture of a naked woman that had a Tinder logo on it and said click here for Tinder or something popped up.

I am assuming that HF isn't supporting naked women twitter ads but still that was weird. Checked out my phone etc and everything is fine.

I went from 116 to 84 and it IS a big deal to me Not really, but I do want some trophies, whatever they are, as many as possible.

 

[BernieParent]

Yeah, I think I'm down by some points and/or likes. I think my failing memory is more of an issue, but still ...

It is obvious that Russian bots are stealing our points, and probably posting on the main board that immigrants have unsustainably high Corsi.

I would blame Canes fans for runaway like inflation
