Thanks!

The first break that comes in is a mangled Amen (there is a bit of waveshaping, ring mod and frequency shifting going on on it), then there is the the Answer break which I use in a sort of "melodic" way.

Is that what you're referring to?

What in the hell was that noise? Did you leave the tape rolling while you were doing your laundry? :D

Think digital, think digital :p :D
Did you leave the 100110111001101 rolling? :D

FYI FWIW, noisewreck, I tried giving your MP3 a listen, but I got an IE dialog box saying that my security settings did not allow the file to be downloaded. This is the first time in my 12 years on the Internet that I have gotten that. I'm not sure why it doesn't like your file; I have never had that problem with any other file before.

Well, you are the second person to have this issue within several months. Honestly, I have no idea why this is, and have never been able to duplicate. You can listen to it on my SoundClick page too. It's the second tune from the top (Disembodiment).

Well, if the goal is to make something sound cheap and shitty, like it was tracked by a total shit-head amateur ... then I would say that there are several ways of accomplishing this. Judicious use of digital clipping being towards the very top of that list of things. Congratulations for stumbling on to that one. If I should ever need help making something sound like complete and utter shit, I will keep your name in my rolodex for just such an occasion.

The guy is merely asking a question. Don't be so mean. Help him.......Not berate him

You must be new to the internet.


What did you mean by that?? are you being confrontational?? Trying to start a flame war???? I'm always right and your always wrong, get it straight!!!! :p

(ends attempted humor Hi_jack)( has to explain that that was attempted humor or somebody WILL mis-understand) :(


I think if it's musical (subjective) then fine. some people like even harmonics , some like (are) odd!!

You have to be carefull when approaching 0 dbfs though, different converters may handle the analog reconstruction differently that what you heard on yer monitor or had in mind. At that point, I'll probably devate from accurate reproduction!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :eek:
