Skrillex's Setup

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0MIxoM_o_8

Heh heh. What good is gear without good ideas, huh?

Apar from the sheer enjoyment of collecting and using gear for it's own sake, I'm more and more comming round to the notion you can make world beating tracks with a laptop and headphones as long as your imagination runs free.

Thinking lately that the hardest resource to come by is imagination - my ceases up on me most of the time.

I think so too Richard. I also find it that the more stuff and gadgets I try to use, the harder it is to make something good.

I think its easier to be creative in a fish bowl than in the ocean.

Yes Fred, I keep finding this. Too many options leads to worse decisions in my own case. Also I find I forget important things when I have a wall of options.

I have some soft synths which have this selling point that you can layer many sounds all at once, which is fine, but honestly you can do just this by having say 6 instances of cuabse standard synths, but with more simplicity and precision and a proper flow in my mind of what is doing what (no lfo buried deep in a sub menu of a mega synth).

I'm never going to crit people who love gear, I love gear, but I personaly find I get bogged down with too much.

the main thing people keep forgetting to understand is you either got it or you don't. no matter what gear you have, you will make due with it and do something great pending if your talented or not. gear won't do anything but just get in the way of making good music. creativity lies within you, it's up to you to find it

i didnt see his setup

Did you hear about him getting his laptops stolen in Milan with all his work on it?

thats a good opportunity to learn about the fantastic task called backup.

Yeah, I found out the hard way, wont make that mistake again.

Am sure this vid has been posted in here before.

ive deleted everything on purpose. feels great, doesnt miss a thing. burned out a dvd with all my finished tracks as wav and gave to my parents to keep lol. this place can burn to the ground and the only thing that would hurt me is the loss of my vinyl.

Psh I hope someday I can make good music on a laptop and headphones....

that's all I have to my name.

The hdd's werent encrypted and one of the songs on his new album has already been leaked.

He also lost his entire new album that he was working on. Everything gone.

lol can he really be that stupid? i dont believe it.

Sounds like that old BT chesnut; studio execs breathing down your neck, work still not finished so "....er, my computer was stolen!".

And let's face it. What's more underground than a stolen & leaked dubstep track?

Pretty clever marketing if you ask me.

I agree. And he came from a huge mainstream background. Personally, I don't find anything special about his music. Seems like he's just doing the same thing he was doing when he was making emo music, appealing to the lowest common denominator marketing niche listeners. Teeny boppers.

I would take any niche. Heh.

Well, whatever he's doing, it is working for him.

Lol, oh the things people say. skrillex's signature sound was created by reconding real growls from bears, cayotees and pitched was transposed.bout 4 weeks to record then the actual processing with hundreds of growsls stacked a sent trru ahoy 3o effects.
