solarbird: from display at PAX 2011 (ook)

I guess it’s obvious in retrospect, but Monday I learned that a drum machine is basically just an overgrown sequencer. I kind of wonder if the original progression was the opposite way.

This is new to me because I’ve never used one before – all those drum tracks on previous work is microphone on live drums. Timing edited, sure, but live. But now I need a drum kit for a thing and I’m not a kit drummer and don’t have a drum kit, so OFF WE GO.

I’m using Hydrogen. It’s pretty cool so far. And really easy to use and comes with a lot of sampled drums. I wish it had arbitrary label marks so you could make notes on where you are in a song other than by measure count. But maybe you can and I just haven’t found it yet.

aaaaaait has a mixer i just found the mixer i was trying to figure out how i would do this later in ardour and i don’t have to i can do it here 😀 \o/ \o\ /o/

I love discovering new useful tools. Have you discovered any lately?

Anti-Gay GOP Congressman Pete Sessions: Pulse Wasn't a Gay Club
Florida Governor Rick Scott refuses on CNN to acknowledge gay people were targeted at Orlando nightclub
Owen Jones walks off Sky News interview as Sky News refuses to admit LGBT people were targeted in Orlando.
eta: Former Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown (R), too (h/t lj:rmd.)

I wonder if this'll become the new fundamentalist (and general rightist) party line as they go back to pushing anti-queer laws. I mean, they've had to spend a three whole days pretending they give a fuck about a bunch of faggots being slaughtered, it must've just been exhausting.

eta2: Holy shit, that is the new party line. I thought that was a fucking joke. From Mashable: The GOP cut the only line about LGBT people from its Orlando statement. Why?
