Howdy peeps, Newbie here but hope to be getting involved in the forum so not just on a spam mission here... Will be playing at the Underbelly, Hoxton, London this Thursday night with the Abigail Hubbard Band (kind of jazzy, folky Trip Hop thing). I'll be rocking some live Machine vibes, we're joined for this by Skip McDonald on bass (Little Axe, Tackhead, Sugarhill Gang) so should be decent... Come say hi, I'll be the dude on the drum machine looking like a moark.

Can you put an Innofader in it?

Yeah the sign up to download is a pain... So much of the time you're asked for you email for this and that, making accounts on everything. There comes a point, for me at least, when I think I can't deal with more digital babylon and stop signing up for things. The funny thing is I don't think anyone in the entire music industry really knows what to do at the moment. Everyone's fumble around in the dark little a 12 year old who just found his first porno mag in the woods (old school real talk).... Kids these days don't even find there first porno in the woods.

Going to go against the grain here but I always saw Soundcloud primarily being a platform for original music creators to share their music to a wider world. If they have a copyright system in place, which should be to protect those content providers (whether or not they do is another question) then it is only right that they protect the copyright holders in such a way. You can argue that it is free promotion but does that free promotion lead to the label getting any significant sales? The figures say other wise. Also, if radio plays your music you get a royalty for that play. The same cannot be said for DJ mixes and as much as the DJ might be promoting the musician, isn't the musician in turn helping the DJ get promotion by providing him or her with music to play? Soundcloud relies on it's original content providers but we should all just make music for free and be happy that someone plays it to a wider audience.... For free? No doubt some of you will now wish to kick me in the balls. Ouch.

Ah cool, looking forward to the session.

No, it's me with a Phil Collins record cover on my head.... Hi there...

It's actually at the YMCA!? Win.

Hiiii..... Alcoholic sound engineer who mainly fucks with drum machines and occasionally makes a truly diabolical sound when stood near a turntable. Greetings to you all.
