    I was offered a place at Newcastle Uni to top up, but elements of the course included folk music, world music and musical history. I did not want to take these modules!

    Newcastle College is building the best sound stage school in Europe at the Rye Hill Campus. I have been offered a place there when it is completed. It will be hard to fit it in with my 'small time DJ'ing' at Promise etc, but I will look forward to the challenge.

    Just for the record, I passed the 25 HND modules with 23 distinctions and 2 merits, incase anyone thinks I am all 'brute strength with no skill'

    :lol: :lol:

    I find acoustic engineering fascinating, sound propagation is one of my favorite areas of interest, along with sound synthesis.

    Keep up your work; it will all pay off in the end. My other half, Lisa, is busy with her food and nutrition hons degree at Newcastle Uni. The mathematics Lisa has to deal with is head battering!

    Studio...

    Myself and Richard Tulip, you know, the one who according to Leon 'carries me' are busy producing a track at the moment. Its working well, as an engineer can often charge hundreds of pounds a day for his services; I do not, as we have decided to work as a team.

    We are composing a dark, yet techy, trance hybrid stomper.

    That’s the best way to describe it. If we had not been promoting Boxing Day and the NYD event so hard, we might have finished it for New Year.

    It should be finished the next time we get in my studio.

    I never try to get 'one up' on anyone; what advantage or benefit would I gain? I simply respond to comments made with an appropriate reply.

    i wasn't picking out any1 in particular, it jus seems that a fair amount of the threads on here often turn into a "i'm better than you because..." battle!

    so many elitists, so few of them actually elite themselves, its like a reverse body (and life) dismorphia clinic on here sometimes!

    get a grip people!

    Re: Re: Gripping...

    Iamian, I read and write music to grade 8, but only play at grade 1. However, with a sequencer you don't need to be concert pianist these days! Rich does not read music at all, but knows what sounds good and where they should be in a track, as is displayed in his first track.

    We have over 25 years of collective DJ experience between us, which means we have been around for quite a while!

    Basically, I engineer but it's our collective work. We sit for hours deciding on sounds, melodies, chord patterns etc. Then I acoustically place, mould, arrange and produce these sounds, but at every step it’s a question of ‘are we happy with this?’

    Everything we do is an agreement. If one of us is unsure, we tweak it until we are sure. For example, we spent a whole session on the spatial placement of the kit pattern, to give the track a huge sound stage.

    We have no doubts that we will stumble as we go, but we learn more than we forget!

    We are trying to get together next week to finish it off.

    But we have to begin the Qualtiy/Promise promotion and fit it in around this.
