...or, when you just want a preset, or want to easily tweak something. Yeah, Nexus is just a ROMpler and is pretty limited relative to synths, but it's much more flexible than most people give it credit for. If the user knows anything about sound design and is familiar with a mod matrix, he can easily tweak the presets into completely new sounds. Regardless, at the end of the day, it's just another tool, blah, blah, blah...

how the fuck can anyone defend Kascade. Pure euro cheese junk. If Bieber were to make a dance album, it would be Kaskade + bieber saying baby. He is an awful producer that makes shitty vocal trance for idiots that don't know any better. it is trance for 12 year old girls.

I quite liked the first half of Strobelight Seduction.


Then again I don't know any better.

Say what you want about Kaskade, but dissing Bieber is crossing the line. The boy is pure genius.

Strobelight Seduction (the album that "I Remember" is on) is a great place to start - very similar vibe throughout. His earlier stuff is more Chicago house influenced and chill (e.g., the OM Records stuff) and his more recent releases (e.g., Dynasty, Fire & Ice) is more commercial dance/house/trance blend. His side project is Late Night Alumni, which is more downtempo/chillout stuff featuring Becky Jean Williams, who also sings on several Kaskade songs.

you're obviously not part of his target audience, but he clearly has one.. I don't see why you have to insult every single one of them simply because they enjoy music that you don't. I'd think someone who's been involved with music as long as you would have figured this out by now.

and I'm not a huge fan of nexus, but what's the big deal? there's a lot of ubiquitous sounds in trance that can be used to just layer a track and establish a certain sound, not every sample in every single track has to be groundbreaking and unique. sometimes you need something simple, I don't see how it makes much of a difference creating your own patch if what you need is already right there.

People use pianos in their tracks. Fucking unoriginal retards, they should be designing their own sounds or building their own instruments. The piano sounds awesome but what a disgrace to use it. Don't even get me started on the guitar and drums!

unlike instruments that are timeless, mexus 2 has a shelf expiry of 3 months. And since all dance music is when you think about it is production as there is nothing else novel about it, well using tools like that is just fucking lazy and should be lambasted. It is embarrassing. IF you are going to make generic music, go make Gomez pop or something. YOu might actually make money. THat is what I don't get. You guys are not making any money yet still feel the need to rob your work of any artistic integrity. So you aren't making money, you aren't doing anything worth doing, what the fuck are you doing ?
