I perceive it as learning the tried and tested ways of fitting the basic building blocks together.
Once this is perfected one can spend more time evolving what one knows confidently.

Why ruin a thread with pointless tittle tattle?
A bit of technical advice wouldn't go amiss.

some wicked tips on here! not sure i understand some tho...
I had an 8 bar loop with most of the elements of a track going, I put a lowpass on the master, messed with the resonance to get it rumbling, then exported it as a audio file. I then used this as my big subby background bass...chose a new kick and eq'd the other elements to suit. Sounded quite good!

I don't see why having an industrial sound has to exclude melody and harmony? Many of the old downwards records have melodic arpeggios going on, as do Sandwell records, along with romantically strained chords and strings... are these not melodic content?tone-def wrote: what about the basic building blocks of harmony and melody?
These come from post-punk, gothic, and industrial music that influences techno just as much as Kraftwerk, whether May likes it or not.
Jeff Mills was in an industrial band when he decided to join UR, and many of the UR guys come from the goth/industrial scene.
