Going through my sampling playlist on Spotify and ripping my own samples for future production.

And this is so funky! No wonder it is one of the main sample elements of the “Daft Punk” sound. I will miss these guys, they treated music production really differently.

Just finished a stream with Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, live Q&A. Learned her music is inspired by Disneyworld; she wants to bring the fans to a fantasy world for her performance. And this is her favorite song to perform, the audience is so responsive she gets emotional

Last year at the height of their success, after finishing a 10 night run at Budokan, Babymetal shutdown. And I mean down, their fan club site, The One, went offline. We haven’t seen the girls in a year. And they officially ended the Metal Resistance, which is what they called their assault on the glass ceiling of the metal music business.

When they collaborated with Bring Me the Horizon Su hinted another resistance was brewing.

And today April 1st, Fox Day in Babymetal world when they make announcements, we get this.

And what does it mean. They are a cryptic lot

But I am watching this looking for clues, cause they are there. But Babymetal is coming back

I am going to laugh really hard if they come back as a bubblegum J-Pop idol band

Mutemath’s album Odd Soul.

The sound of Waves Central freezing at 43.8% download of whatever it’s doing :tipping_hand_woman:t2:

(I really don’t like Waves plugins/business model, but the few I do have are at least somewhat valuable)

I have two compressors from them, no issue.
Bought from Sweetwater, maybe that’s the difference?

Part of it is the yearly “Waves upgrade program” thing, and the fact that without that plan in effect I only get one license to use on a single computer. It isn’t often an issue, but I do have a laptop and a desktop. And they have sales so often it’s not even worth trying to sell the ones I don’t use anymore, like Abbey Road Vinyl that is a massive CPU hog for crackles and warbles o.O

Funnily enough, I’m having fits right now getting Cosmos, their free sample library manager, to recognize its own license that Waves Central was supposed to have installed :joy:

I was just in a cheeky mood when I made the comment… not looking to derail the thread with a discussion :slight_smile:

Go for it. Miho said her bass playing was more showmanship than technical.

They are ridiculously talented though. I am surprised they are back so soon

Great band @kristine ,
Love the “live in Seattle” dvd,
I just finished transcribing a song from the concert, so hopefully should have it nailed and uploaded over the next few weeks😃
Cheers Brian

  1. She is my #1 new discovery from this forum (well, maybe #2 behind Poppy :upside_down_face:).
  2. She’s the second act that I couldn’t care less about knowing what the heck she’s saying (Gypsy a kings were the first).
  3. She proves quite easily that guitarists are very overrated. :upside_down_face::upside_down_face:

She actually sells merch that says this :rofl:

The “No Guitars More Bass” stickers used to be on t-shirts as well.
