lol @ 'TSWDNSO'

quite a few years back now in hobart there was a bit of a scene rift which resulted from a new party/production crew & forum/site that a few of us put together, the result being the previous site we all frequented becoming 'otdf' (other tasmanian dance forum)  ;D

I see there are lots of oz guys here

Well my name's Mehdi, and I live in France (30 y-o). I Heard about that site through Cheyne post on KVR and hopefully will be an active part of it.
I'm making music for a few years now (mostly psy/breaks) but only as a hobby, I don't release anything ... will that get me banned as it's a PRO site?  ;D

See you all on the forums.
Mehdi

Heya Mehdi   ... Nice to have you on board   Our first french member ! ..

deux bières si vu plait ! (that line got me all around paris last year! ;D )

Most of us are into production as a hobby here , and have normal jobs  , so dont worry about that  ..    There isnt any level of knowledge required to take part here ,    just an interest is all you need   and it sounds like you got that ! ..  Rest assured,  you wont be getting banned here 

Hope you get some useful info out of us in the near future ! Cheers

My name is Eddie, I'm 23 and hail from Hobart originally, been living in Melbourne for the last few years now. I work as a VoIP/Network engineer, I do a lot of stuff with ip pbx servers and callcenters, pretty exciting stuff

Listening to the chemical brothers surrender and Radioheads Kid A in high school did something to my brain and i sought out more and more electronic music from there on.

These days I like to attempt writing techno and downtemto in FL studio & on my yammy RS7000

I'm a geek who loves to argue (even if it's not something I actually believe) and on occasion I can be reasonably knowledgeable and/or helpful on certain topics.

Jeezuz , mate you sure you name isnt Cheyne ?? ..  sounds awfully familiar ...      Im a  Systems Engineer now working for the Commonwealth Bank ..  Primarily working in network tech and dev  ...

Either way , welcome mate   Great to have another geek on board ...  Ill try squeeze in a Cisco & Nortel forum  for you somewhere  ;D

*Looks around for "Cheers!" smiley. to insert for SoundPunk.

;D ;D  ..  I love it ! ...      *Welcomes to the community with open arms*  ;D ;D

Bonjour Mehdi I have been to Paris only once but loved it very much - very romantic when there with my girlfriend 

You guys are home to the famous IRCAM institute in Paris - an amazing place, Australia needs something like it badly! I really want to go there to study one day, it's been a long-time dream of mine.

For the rest of you who don't know IRCAM, check it out:

Hey Kids!

My name is Jeremy, I'm a professional composer/audio post-guy for a Vancouver multimedia company (http://themediaco.com). It gets slow as hell sometimes, so I've been a heavy poster at kvraudio.com, and after Cheyne's warm-hearted invite, I'm checking out this scene. I've learned a helluva lot over there and made many friends, so we'll see what we can do here. Do we have any snooty, pro studio dicks yet?  ;D

Ooh, love the MSN-style emoticons...anyway, looks like fun! Talk to you all momentarily! :cans:

[Captain Terrific]

nice sig, welcome aboard!

[Cheyne]

Hey bduffy ,  welcome mate

Nice to have you on board ! ..  Yea i noticed a few of the KVR guys came over and said hi 

Nah so far its all very friendly over here right now , no snooty chin strokers which I couldnt be happier about ! ..  Thats half the reason why this site exists , because we were all sick of those people. ;D    Just pack your smile in with your midi controller and audio interface , and you'll get along just fine here ;D

[Jay Parker]

Welcome to all new comers, pull up a chair and stay a while

[Jester_Fu]

No chin strokers? Are you sure about that ;D

Welcome, dude. You'll find tech related dribble, the odd heated discussion and more than a couple of conflicting opinions... but that's the way we love it. Everyone seems to have their say without just shitting on anyone else opinion, here... so welcome aboard, and enjoy your stay!

[bduffy]

Hey guys, thanks for the warm welcome! For some reason I'm not getting e-mail replies, I'll have to look into that.

Spectrum: Nice emoticon! Who'da thunk there was a chin-stroking emoticon!  ;D

[Cheyne]

No email replies ?? .. how do you mean ?? ..  Check under your profile preferences  ...  It should all be enabled for Notifications ...

[bduffy]

well, I just got two in a row, so problem solved!

Here's what I think happened: by default, you only get a notification of the first reply or something, I changed it to "always notify", and this was my first post since then, so I guess I had to post once more to get the ball rolling, and it's going fine now. Thanks!

[Cheyne]

Ok cool, No worries  

[bduffy]

Cool, well, a lot more action over than KVR. Today at least. So slow at work, it's good to have another audio-geektalk option! Things seem pretty groovy here, resistance is futile.

[Cheyne]

Cheers ...    And we only have 150 members currently , which is growing each day  ... so imagine when it really takes off   ...  Spread to word to your friends, let them know about the place , and we can really get some talk happening ;D

[bduffy]

Will do, bro!

[Disco God]

Hi im Andreas aka Disco God and I'm a Greek Cypriot. I live in Alstonville, NSW, Australia after moving from a big city of Geelong, VIC, Australia.

I found this site on ITM as someones signiture a while ago. I'm 14 but look at least 16 and love Trance, Had Dance and Hip-Hop.

This forum site so far is a lot better than ITM because of the theme I suppose it's more welcoming.

[Jester_Fu]

Welcome... young whipper snapper ;D

Yep, Cheyne, our forum overlord and all round good guy... has tried to keep the site well seperate to help with everyones specific interests. I'm sure you'll find lots of help getting started in DJ'ing, if that's what you're after... and just as much if you decide you're up for trying your hand at producing.
