Comment on Conceptualizing a new Paper Plane Pilot release by Dustin

That too. I like the idea of 10 or so songs as a collection — 4 or less sometimes leaves you wanting more — but waiting a year or two to get 10 songs together doesn’t seem to make sense with distribution today.

You know I was thinking of the same idea… like more frequent releases to keep up w/ the facebook twitter generation.

Or perhaps putting out only EPs, rather than full length CDs. That and b/c I’d it’s much easier to have only 4 songs that fit together in a musical suite than a whole CD. Allows for more different musical ideas…

@andy

That’s a great start. It’s hard to say what else you would need until you get to something that you can’t do with your current setup. That’s where most of my gear purchases come from. Well, that and gear lust.

One thing about Reason is that you can’t record anything to it. Check out Propellerhead Record for a Reason-like DAW. Keep in mind that it’s a closed system; you won’t be able to use third-party plugins and instruments.

@MonkeyWork

The nice part about music equipment is that it doesn’t really lose much value over time (and if they stop making it, you can sometimes turn it around for a profit!). And if you consider the time you had the gear as a rental fee, you really can’t go wrong. Researching on the internet also helps in buying right the first time.

Very well thought out. When selecting gear and spending $$ it’s always better to buy once and cry once. Swap outs hurt the mind and wallet. Upgrades are normal behavior, when something comes along that supercedes previous tech levels, or makes something you do
much easier. Whats in your junkpile that got you to this level?

Haven’t had the chance to read Computer Music. I should check it out!

You missed Computer Music. I like Electronic Musician– it’s probably the best value…

BUT Computer Music is far better in terms of total quality. It’s very expensive though, being from UK and all. Plus each month comes with a DVD of like 8 gigs of samples, free software, etc. I like the tutorials and gear reviews a lot better too. They go more in depth.

Great interview… good flow.

BUT… You never said which DAW you use. Way to dodge to the question! haha

You ever consider putting out an ambient album? I love M83’s ambient album and Fennesz is good stuff, too. I’ve been listening to more post-rock lately as well. Sigur Ros, but also Mono, The Evpatoria Report, etc.
