New things youve been doing recently.........
that have helped you along in your productions?
Me, using room reverb as opposed to hall/long reverbs on leads to create a different space...
using abletons track delay to shift some of my hat lines etc... making things more groovy!
post a few things youve been doing - maybe we can pick up a few tricks from each other!
Learning my way around FM synthesis using Native Instruments' FM7.
Wonderful synth.

The easy way to start learning the practical side on FM7 is to turn off all but two of the oscillators on a patch and then start playing around with those to see what it does to the sound and waveform. Then when you've got some idea about how to control that sound, start adding more oscillators and playing around with them as well.

Tweaking lots of little audio samples, getting a better handle on stutter edits, stuff like that. Learning more about laying down high BPM drum loops with lots of snare action and less kick busyness. Also, maybe more importantly; playing single notes on lots of different instruments rather than an epic chord on a single pad sound. Builds up a massive, harmonic sound, since your not limited to what you can reach on a keyboard, or the chord shapes you usually gravitate towards. So my contrary motion and general harmonies have been getting bigger and bigger, while taking up less actual space in the mix.
I've been on vacation and visiting family/friends on the other end of the country, so I haven't been doing anything except drinking beer, sitting on my a$$, and watching some Olympics. 
When I get home later this week, I'll be starting to work with an incredible new female vocalist - can't wait!

nothing new here, same old crap
I have been investigating the process of automations and envelopes in a more in-depth way then I'm used to, also trying to work harder on my buildups, because i seem to loose the emotion of my tracks whilst doing buildups. im still VERY new at it but its very pleasant when you get it right. I have an example of what I mean,

long time dude good to see you, the sample sounds very good
great to see you palm, indeed, hope you are well. Why are you selling your stuff? upgrading I hope, would be a pity to see you stop producing
no im not at all stopping, its just that that equipment wont let me work fast enough, i get restless fast. im saving some money for a mac and logic to get out of my old routine in reason. i love reason tho but i think i need a fresh start.
Woah, that sounds great palm, i wish you the best of luck with that and im very excited to hear what you can do with it. I miss the good old 97 when Logic was still available to PC. I doubt I'll let go of Fruityloops though upon nine years of using it, just as you mentioned, it lets me work incredibly fast - IMPORTANT! That just reminds me of how much I have spent on FL, VSTi's and hardware throughout the years 
Just started taking advantage of sampling. Love this shit you learn and proceed every day! It's awesome waking up not knowing what you'll learn in the day ahead!

I've been making a lot of DnB type stuff but still can't get that really hard trance fast hats type sound...
just another one to add - although i assume its fairly well known...
mixing at lower levels - really helps for a cleaner mix and shows up anything thats too loud!
