UK peeps GTFIH - lets get a thread a "gwanin"

[malone93]

Sunderland checkin' in, just moved here and currently unemployed so the gyms only £16 a month the joys of been on the dole haha

[CompoundUK]

Paid for it myself.
Bar was £90 (you can get cheaper but they are ****ty bars)
Bench was 50
Rack was 250 or something
I ended up getting 205 (I think) kg of weight for ~£1.30 per kg so ~£270 for that.

Not too bad overall, would like to get another pair of 20's in the near future

yeah nice that dont sound bad at all, i could do ok wit a 200kg for a bit im at 175kg on the deadlift so would still have room for improvement, would be nice to make some nice heavy dbs as well :-)

Heading down in an hour or so to train chest and back. If it's messy I will go ape ****.

not been much to reply. I don't necessarily have a preference. I like alot of the commercial stuff but I suppose I'm more inclined towards the progressive side of house music.

[vDeezl]

DNB/Trance producer checking in. Real trance though.. not the ****gy chit most people listen too. Oh and free party hard trance..

[CompoundUK]

im on FL10 at the moment, defo my fave. just keep coming back to it.

have used and can use:

Ableton 5/6
Reason (3.0 onwards anway lol)
Logic Pro

idea go down sooooo quick in FL. its a powerhouse that i just dont think can be beaten for speed and flexibility but i requires serious hardware to be able to push its limits.

you lads on soundcloud?

yeah boss its deezlx, not much on there atm.. ain't produced in a while and i'm still a noob anyway lol. What's yours i'll give you a follow

I agree though, FL is real easy to use, i'm thinking about changing to Cubase though, it's more powerful.

can i ask what makes you say that? i appreciate the tools you get with it are very good but there is literally nothing the FL cant do.... NOTHING lol, even if its not an immediate feature, its open so you can even port cubase through it!

[TheReid]

I've used FL10 but it's so damn confusing. I have plenty of ideas I really just need to sit and study the software first.

I agree, FL is pretty good but after seeing what my mate can do with Cubase.. i'm inclined to start learning it. To be honest though I think mixing is where my heart is but I need a job before I can get my own CDJs. How long you been producing for? Are all those tunes yours? You're pretty good brah.. i'll give you a follow later when i'm on my 'puter.

FL10 is one of the easiest, in fact it probably is the easiest DAW to use. Just study brah.. plenty of tutorials on youtube/the net, that's how i've learnt (though i'm still a proper noob).

are you sure they are not plugins he is using on cubase? i admit cubase and logic both have much better "built in kit" but, a wave editor is a wave editor, an EQ is an EQ and compressor is a compressor nom'saying?

been producing for like 14 years or so but stared really young with mega basic gear like Ejay. just messed around and read from there. all self taught inc keyboard n guitar. not really been that serious for last year or soooo bout as long as i been training ha, plus my daughter came along so less time!

sold all my mixing gear when i brought this house, i dont do anything live any more so if im making a mix to upload, i just studio mix it, faster and you can be a bit "shinier" with it. Supposed to be doing a "Through the ranks" set for a manchester station, dnb n dubstep but its gone a bit quiet. Was last mixing for massive dubstep and Dangerbox

FL is easier hence why its so fast to get ideas down. you can do cheap courses on any DAW as well but they are only worth it if you got the theory side down really. i just kinda learnt that bit as a went along but it took years lol.

the principle of FL is easy. You make a midi "score" or mark. which is present on FL as a "wav." style clip. You then arrange these clips as samples in arranger window. always best to rename stuff as you go along as well so things dont get lost or confused

Push Pull day eh? why u got no avi?

Yeah, was a few of us so wasn't too bad. No windows or aircon so it was hot as ****. Sweated out the hangover though.

Meant chest and triceps. Dunno why I wrote back. As for AVI, no idea tbh? Just haven't got one. Suppose I should get around to it!

31 degrees here today. Lots of water being consumed.

Cheers man. Feels good, went in there today with my training partner who didn't know that it had been cleaned and noticed straight away.
