That's Life by XLN not Audio Bloom? Seen a few demos of it. Looks very interesting - just like a lot of their stuff. RC20 is awesome, and XO is also on my list to try at one point. So much to learn, so little time

You're right - changed the title now. Ha! Definitely check out Life.
Nice idea!

Here's my submission to the Hall of BANGERS. This has long been a favourite track of mine, and there's many things about it that I'd like to know how to produce.
Firstly is the sort of general squelchy, warm, bubble bath feeling that this track has. I'm not sure what it is but maybe very subtle filtering? Not sure...
Also, on the drums section you have some breaks, not too complicated, but the beats that precede the breaks (0:47-1:31) - they have a really intersting timbre and I was wondering if they are a sample, a drum machine - they just seem to sound so organic and not rigid.
I'd recommend everyone check out Skee Mask's album Compro - it's a masterpiece.
Hey all
I just saw a vid of this plugin for making breaks (which I use on almost all my tracks and it looks insane! Has anyone else used it, and if so, what was your experience?

It looks so insane!
Just downloaded - super snappy and clean. Love it, thanks!
After seeing UtobiaNZ's post in the forum about loving the Jay Pei set, it reminded me of all the great fusion music there is in the electronic world. And I know a little, which I'll share below, but I'd love to see what other stuff people like. Let's hear your stuff. I know there's a few members from South America and I imagine elsewhere s- let's hear your favourite tunes!

Yeah, I've also noticed the techno/general electronic scene in India has been getting bigger and better over the last few days. I remember when I initially saw some Boiler Room's being hosted in Delhi & Mumbai I was a little surprised, but pleasantly.
In fact, like a lot of things, I suspect that these new young, fresh regional scenes may be far more exciting and groundbreaking than Europe & the US nowadays - I imagine lots of new fusion genres and ultra-creative music will be coming out of all the places mentioned in the article!#
Not sure if you've heard of Yung Singh, check this out: insanely good set - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWZ5F00eG_k
He's British Asian so mixes a lot of Punjabi songs with Garage and House, Jungle. proper cool!
Hi
I'll be upgrading to Ableton 12 and was wondering when there will be some Ableton 12 specific courses?
Cheers!
Hi Rob, Thanks for your reply!
Everyone online receommends a Rode NT1-A, so I think I'll go for that, especially as you've confirmed Rode is reliable.
Love the coathanger tip 
Looking forward to seeing who wins. Loved all the entries! Tone's is my fav so far...

Hey @SamuelClouston - As usual another banger from you! Really nice arrangement and sound selection and the structure works well. If I was going to throw some thoughts:
Drum levels are slightly inconsistent and at times the snare feels a little jarring. Also it feels like some of the instruments and drums get in each others ways at certain times. I'm loving the acid bass when it first comes in and then it just falls back and becomes a bass (losing the high end movement) - that feels like a shame, although its feels very welcome when it returns at the end.
Saying that I wish I could produce something that sounded as polished as this. Lovely track

Hi Smillington - that's super useful feedback, thank you. You're right, it was lacking a bit of precision, particularly with the bass. I'm going to switch it up and make the bass more acidy - definitely a good shout - same with the snares.
