Eugenics can sound pretty appealing until you take a moment to really think about it and aren’t the type to just be okay with whatever suffering you may cause in the name of the “greater good”.
And making it illegal to have children with close relatives is a form of eugenics, i.e. it’s still practiced and widely accepted in most western countries.
Thanks!
I recorded the bass and guitar through my audio interface, for the bass I just used Bitwig’s builtin EQ and compressor+limiter plugin like usual - never really saw the point in bass amp sims. For the guitar I used Audio Assault Amp-Locker, an amp sim. IIIRC the drums were sampled from a nu metal drum loop off YouTube.
What kind of electronic music do you make?
Aside from dubstep and similar halftime stuff, I dabble in french house (TBH my bass playing isn’t really up to the task, and it feels lame to program electronic bass lines for this genre when bass is your main instrument), instrumental hiphop, some drum’n’bass and chiptune (I used a Game Boy with LSDj for that).
I’ve been using Bitwig for about 2 years, though I didn’t get much done since then. Bitwig has been pretty good so far, the workflow definitely feels better for electronic music than Ardour. I mostly do deep dubstep, but I’m playing around with all kinds of other (electronic) styles.

I dig “Ohyeah3”, good vibe and that’s some pretty neat guitar playing.
This is already literally how it works in Germany. You can also get in with a college/university degree, especially for software dev jobs, but nowadays it’s pretty unusual that people who enter the field just have no related education at all.
They’re not dumb, they’re evil.
The first Rambo movie, probably. I kind of expected a campy, thoughtless, somewhat militaristic action movie, but it actually had a pretty deep story which social issues front and center.
Interesting, Skrillex is one of my least favourite brostep producers. For me, most of his older tracks are way too chaotic to groove properly.
I’ll have to try some FM synthesis. I always shyed away from it because it seemed overly complicated, but you’re probably right that it’s actually easier for some specific sounds.
Definitely! There are a couple of brostep tracks that I really like, you can create some really nice grooves with that midrange modulation and I do generally like gnarly synths. Haven’t really gotten around to trying my hand at that myself, though …
And the disdain is real, the vibes of classic dubstep and brostep are just too different and it’s pretty annoying to have the name of your genre usurped like that. There have been attempts to make up qualifiers to specify the classic sound (e.g. “deep dubstep”), but they haven’t really caught on, either.
I think you mostly got it, that kind of sound is really mostly about having an absolutely gnarly base sound and then just modulating it with lowpass filters and maybe some texture-changing effects.
Bit of a tangent, but as someone who is really into early UK-style dubstep that usually has very clean basses (i.e. the stuff that actually sounds dubby and possibly even 2-steppy) I prefer calling the skrillex-type stuff ‘brostep’, but that term didn’t catch with most people. Probably because most people don’t like calling their preferred genre something that’s clearly intended as an insult.
I’d assume they just don’t care.
Mailbox.org already provides 3 different aliases even at the lowest tier, but I’ve already filled those with non-temporary aliases and I don’t really want to pay three times as much just for throwaway-aliases …
While we’re at it, anyone got a good site for temporary addresses that are basically used exactly once? And ideally don’t immediately get flagged as spam addresses.
I’ve been there for several years as well. Works great, and I get pretty much no spam.
At one point they offered “envelope with money sent via postal service” as an anonymous payment option, IDK if they still do that.
Faders are good for stuff you’re doing fast and rhythmically, e.g. the crossfader on a DJ mixer (especially if they’re doing scratching and the like). For most other things sliders/faders take up too much room IMO.
He makes some really good points. The process of creating is so important, a lot of the time it’s actually a far bigger issue than whatever technical pros and cons there are (and digital definitely has some pretty big pros). Similar to how vinyl or cassettes force you to consume content in a more conscious way than mp3s or streaming, or handwriting instead of typing on a cpmputer can have a positive effect when you’re learning school stuff or tackling some kind of complicated decision you have to make.
I also feel like I’ve had a much easier time making music when I was making chiptune with a Game Boy than when I’m making more conventional music using a DAW - sometimes, limitation can be freeing.
I’d assume they’re just doing the rounds with drug sniffer dogs. Those dogs have crazy sensitivity.
If you’re traveling somewhere with extremely restrictive drug laws (e.g. Singapore), you can be sentenced to prison for drug particles on your shoes. i.e. you can accidentally have forbidden substances on you.
Sounds more like Monopoly: Social Democracy edition to me. Though either way, you’d need to add a tax for the rich to explain the $300.
Yeah. Someone has to put in the work for packaging an application if you want it as a .deb/.rpm etc. package and deal with any bugs that might come up, and it’s not going to be me (speaking as a user, not a developer).
That said, I also painted myself into a corner when it comes to harddrive space. LUKS can be complicated, man …
