My 303 holy trinity: Hardfloor, Emmanuel Top, and classic goa trance of 1994–1996 (the latter has many of super nice overdriven parts).

This thread has been enjoyable. I’m surprised there isn’t more contempt for autotune.

Also, it would appear that by our own estimations as a community, we all write absolute shit tunes. :rofl:

Oh, and I cannot stand footwork. It sounds like a solution looking for a problem.

Ahahah I started to do it but something held me. I never had a machine before and i’ll stick with this upper right corner lift up i guess :wink:

I’ll go one further than just 303. ANY stupidly high resonance filter sweep sounds like garbage to me. The ones you hear in every single synth demo ever :joy:

Ain’t that the way it should be? You know, constructive criticism. To paraphrase George Carlin, ”My shit is stuff and their stuff is shit.” :sweat_smile:

Brilliant. The song title, the subject of this thread. It’s all too perfect.

Just wondering if the mods can lock @craig’s account, since he’s clearly not of sound mind or reasoning. If someone can do a wellness check on him that’d be great too. I hear Malta’s nice this time of year.

If 2020 had some sparkle left this ruined the last bit imo:

Sorry for sharing btw, tissues are send to all y’all

:joy: CENSORSHIP! I could add it to my CV tho. Banned from Elektronauts since 2020. Reason: insanity.
