wow, there used to be a chat? I joined the fandom around August 2013...so I guess it's been gone for a while...love the signature/OC btw!

I generally wear a black t-shirt, black pants, my chain wallet, and my Gore Windstopper Vest basically everywhere I go year round...even in winter. (though occasionally I'll put on a doctor who esque long coat.)

Refreshed, just got a full night sleep after staying up for 24 hours. if a chicken had lips, could it whistle? and further more, what will it's cutie mark become as the show progresses?

I use FL Studio for larger synth work, (IE. Vst's like massive/fm8) and LMMS for sequencing. My mastering is then done in Adobe Premiere, which is generally a video editing software, but the audio plugins that come default with it are awesome! (I've also recently coupled it with Ozone, which is outstanding for Maximizing/stereo imaging) and no problem! I love talking tech with people glad I could help

I would recommend beatport, or any other website that has the option for 320 or Wav...and while different sizes produce different sounds, I meant that you can tune them/set them up to be punchy, you just have to set your amp up in a multichannel fashion, so you can adjust what does what. Also, the reason for "bass boosted" stuff...is because people like to see their speakers wobble...that's it. It's not about getting awesome audio quality, it's about trying to be as bassey as possible. little do they know though that they can get so much better, and so much cleaner/louder sound with just a good master and a proper balanced setup!

professional quality sound is made by producers of music...people who actually MAKE the tracks, those who either use high quality samples, or professionally record their own. Those who understand the basics of music theory/dynamics/sound design, those who know how to properly use multiband compression, and limiting without overdoing it. Basically, if you want high quality sound, buy hi-quality sound. Never go for any quality below 320, unless there's no alternatives available. I personally try to get .wav whenever I can, as it is uncompressed and full sounding. But it must be played on a device that can support 320's or wavs...iphones don't roll that way...I personally use my PSP, since it supports both 320's and wavs...also, when it comes to speaker arrangement, car audio won't give you clean proper sound unless you're willing to invest a good amount of money. If you want to get "proper balanced sound" you'll need to invest in a multichannel audio reciever/amp that can output a multi equalization system, basically in simple terms, it means being able to control your bass, mids, and hi's on seperate levels...when you're able to do that, you'll be able to get your speakers arranged in a way where your treble/mid is coming more towards your top half, and your bass is below you...and for that, you need a good set of mids and tweeters with a similar output to your subs...but on separate channels. Then you'll be able to hear everything at once and clearly...Also, the issue with boosting is that you may be able to get it loud, but not without losing dynamics/parts of the song...little details get lost with boosting, which is why it's never really the best option. HOWEVER...if you have a good quality mastered version in 320/wav, you can turn it up basically to the topmost setting and it won't distort! (As long as you have the frequency response on the speakers capable of doing so) like I said, it all comes down to the quality of the audio file...if it's a proper artist mastered copy, on a properly tuned sound system, there's no need for boosting, and you'll achieve best possible results/sound out of your speakers. (oh, and also on the side note...you don't need a specific woofer size to produce punchy bass...it doesn't matter what size...it just matters the audio quality, and how you tune them/set them up)

yes, a well mastered/mixed track definitely will! I don't think you've ever heard a punchy bass before. You've heard a trunk shaker (which in my opinion sounds terrible and muffled) but not a proper studio grade/concert grade sound system! And more importantly, a properly mastered hi-fi audio file...I swear, go to a Koan Sound show or a deadmau5 performance, and you'll get some of the best audio possible! The bass will thump so hard you'll feel your heart bursting to the beat, BUT...you'll also hear the same amount of treble, and mid too...that's where the good part comes in...dynamics...that means hearing EVERYTHING...not just bass...too much bass clutters the mix, too little makes it empty...you need balance, you'll be wowed when you actually hear a real system with good quality audio pumping through it. As far as rap is concerned, as I said, it can be good, but most of the mainstream rap is produced very amateurishly by people who don't know what they're doing...music production isn't making a drum loop and throwing vocals over it. or taking someone else's work and rapping over it and claiming it as your own (AKA Will.I.Am/Black Eyed Peas) REAL producers put their heart/soul into their productions, use high quality samples, and understand music theory/sound design/mastering, That stuff takes a lot of work/engineering knowledge that most of these rappers don't know..so they hire people to do it for them, so even the rappers themselves don't know if their instrumentals are done right, because they aren't the ones doing them! And then people go on youtube and use a converter to download them in either 128/256kbps quality, which sucks out loud, or they play it off their iphones (which also only go up to 256kbps quality) and are like, ZOMG, SO PROFESSIONAL. but no...it's just bad quality. And the suckish thing is, you don't notice it until you start producing/doing real sound work...trust me, I used to do the same stuff, and I thought it was fine...but now, I can't listen to a 128kbps rip without wanting to put forks in my ears. Quality is important man...trust me, one day you'll have your audio experience and it'll take your breath away.

as soon as the bell tolls thrice! doth thou speaketh any faux-shakespearian?

yes pls. Do you know for whom the bell tolls?

oh yes. Who's performing?

because most of the time (there are of course exceptions) rap is horribly mastered, terribly produced, and chock full of unlicensed samples. (all things that effect the quality of a well produced track) and of course it will not be the same, yeah, it'll sound worse on cheap products, but it's not going to sound good on expensive products either! That's my whole point! You need a well mixed/mastered hi-fi quality track in order to get good clean punchy bass, that's not overpowering...you can have the best system in the world, but to throw something at it that has poor mastering/quality/mixdown is an insult to the system's maximum capability. I was just like you when I started out, I just wanted bass, but then i got a decent pair of headphones, and took up producing, and I learned that there's more to music than just bass...but as I said, in the end it comes down to preference...and you are of course entitled to your own opinion.

sure! are they peanut butter cups?

Beef all the way! Best Dazzling?

"My hair is oceans!!!"

love deep house! the ambiance is awesome man! Please keep it up!

...don't make me say it!!!!!... (holds breath for a few seconds...) -breaths out- whoo...okay. Now....please don't take this as rage/stuck-up-ness/etc. But I'm afraid that makes no sense whatsoever. No matter HOW GOOD your stereo is, (and trust me, as someone who's been DJing/doing shows for almost 12 years, and producing records for 5, I've seen just about every type of sound system there is) it really all comes down to preference...you can't "remaster" a master...you can't properly "boost" a song...(no offense to OP, there's people who like that kind of stuff, as always just a preference...) but as a producer, as someone who knows the technical side as well as musical...the BEST type of sound always comes from a really good master. You need flat response to hear EVERYTHING going on in the track, not just the bass...what is flat response? In producing flat response basically means uncoloured sound. The sounds are balanced, equal, the soundstage is phenomenal, and clear. The bass isn't muddy/overpowering, the mids are for-front, and the highs sparkle, everything is raw, and where it should be. And you might be thinking, "well yeah that's good for acoustic/vocal stuff" but no...electronic music too. In fact, ESPECIALLY electronic music...I swear, I'll take a properly mixdown'd/mastered track in 44.1 WAV, over a 256kbps boosted mp3 any day. if you want the best "bass performance," at least just get the original 320 mp3/wav and use your car's EQ...if you change the actual audio file itself, it won't sound right, on basically anything. Now let me be fair, I used to be just like that when I started, more bass...more volume, moar moar moar! I collected speakers, built a sub-wall of 34 individual cones, running off of 3 high powered amps! But it didn't matter how good my setup is, how bassey it was...it's all in the mixdown/mastering/quality of the song... As I said, it comes down to preference, and if boosted rips sound good to you, then you're welcome to it, there's tons of them on the internet, (granted this was one of the better ones) but don't be like, "I don't listen to music on earpods I listen music through my cars stereo which has been heavily upgraded" and "Bass boost is designed for multiple speakers and a subwoofer. Not for cheap earpods or laptop speakers." because that's false, your stereo could have the best frequency response range EVER and it wouldn't do a single thing. Would it sound better than a speaker with small freq response? yeah probably...but that's like saying if you put a dead skunk on your kitchen table, and covered it with sprinkles and 1 dollar bills, it'd be more pleasing...well yeah, you could buy a sandwich with the dollar bills but you've still got a dead skunk stinkin up your kitchen! If you want "real bass boost" get yourself a proper amp, separate your channels, and listen to good quality wavs/320's that have been properly mixed/mastered, you'll be amazed by the difference. I didn't mean to go on a rant, and I'm no means a genius/expert on this...but I've had a ton of experience in the field, and I'd just like to share it.

Love it cold! My mum makes AMAZING pumpkin pie...she does it homeade, makes her own crust, the whole sha-bang! Not a ton of cloves added which oversaturate it like most pumpkin pies. Flakey crust, smoothe filling, simply delicious!

to be honest, all my systems are relatively "old" My most recent is my PS2/PSP and Gamecube... But I don't play them nearly as often as my N64 and NES... So yeah, my NES...

Well, I actually like a lot of weird music. Of course I like electronic genres such as dubstep/trance/house etc. But those have become quite popular in the past 4 years... However, i do enjoy many other subgenres, as well as completely different genres altogether. I'm a fan of classical music, ambient, drone, gabber, speedcore, hardcore, hard house, metal, experimental, idm, glitch, hardstyle, even older school hip hop. I mean, I can go from listening to something modern, to a Sigur Ros or Boards of Canada record in a heartbeat, and enjoy both equally as much. I can dig a deadmau5 record, but feel the same beauty from Handel or Strauss...

Will do!
