I downloaded this recently and am really enjoying it. I prefer the final mix version although the quiet version is nice also. Great job, Andy!

End of An Ear looks interesting. I'll check that out on my next trip to Austin. That's funny that a guy from the west coast has to tell me aout a record store 65 miles from me. ;D Thanks, Forrest!

You must go to Waterloo Records on North Lamar. It's legendary in Austin. Ask almost anyone and they'll be able to tell you where it is. After that try Cheapo Discs and Records further down the street. I often find surprises there, as well. Have fun!

I'm really enjoying this one. I'm a big fan of both Roach and David and this release doesn't dissappoint.

Music Gearheads Tech Talk / Re: Headphone amplifiers (and DACs for headphone listening)
« on: January 06, 2014, 02:29:41 PM »
This is a really interesting topic. I am one of those Mike mentioned who knew absolutely nothing about this subject before reading this. I have always noticed how much better headphones sounded through a good mixer's headphone jack. I listen mostly through the headphone jack on my ProTools Mbox tower. Is something like this any good at all? Granted, I do need to buy a much better pair of headphones than I am now using.

However I don't understand why in the electronic music genre someone would need to lift an atmosphere or a drum groove etc. That seems like laziness, and yet I know it happens.
Exactly!

Everything and Nothing / Re: What Mediaplayer do you use on your PC/MAC to play music ?
« on: January 02, 2014, 02:25:37 PM »
I use iTunes on my mac and winamp on my pc. I have to say i don't use the pc much for music, though. Mostly business on the pc. I like itunes for the playlist features and for burning cd's. I'm still old fashioned and don't use any other devices than stereos for listening to music. I will audition music on my computer , but it's just not where I do most of my serious listening. As far as sound quality, iTunes is good enough for me. My hearing is not what it used to be and I can't tell that much of a difference.

Ah, Soft Machine  ... still a huge favourite of mine. They did go through numerous changes, so yep the albums were of various qualities. But Third and Fourth are surely beyond compare   8)

Yep! Those are usually the ones I return to when I want some Soft Machine.  8)

Well I am sorry to tell you, but I find some kind of time pressure, I am reaching 30, I am starting to realize you do not live forever, and life is short.
I also know artistic creativity is not exactly something that gets easier with the years, I still have it in me, but let see how it is when I am starting to reach 40.
So it feels like a battle against the time... I wish I could slow down time...

This forum has always had times of more activity, and other times of less. It's true that overall, people don't visit forums like this as much, now that social media is more of a big thing. People are more inclined to interact on Facebook, Twitter and things like that.

It does seem like a lot of the people who post here are recording artists, but I think that's a good thing. This is one of my favorite places to ask questions and get advice about technical things, for that reason.
I like that, too. On my social media sites, most of my friends are not interested in ambient music or music making and recording gear or techniques. On a forum such as this , I tend to know more about the people posting and their expertise. It is amazing to me how knowledgeable Hypnos forum members are about so many different subjects.

It is disappointing. The good thing is that many people on this forum and others have discovered her work. I will continue to follow her now. Also, great job on the music, Loren.

Just voted from my computer and then tried to vote again from my iPhone. It informed me that my vote had already been counted. Like Mike said, don't hesitate to remind us. I sometimes have a hard time remembering my socks in the morning.  ;)

This is really a great time to get familiar with Broken Harbour for those who aren't. I have all of these releases and can't recommend them enough. I'm anxious to hear the new release.
