This is an experience I've had numerous times during carefree nights at local techno clubs I've often wondered which type of techno generates this unforgettable sensation… .

Modern beats rely on the kick and snare. Hi-hats, toms, and other sounds are simply ways to enhance the basic rhythm provided by these two sounds. Failing to achieve a good kick sound is one of the main reasons why an otherwise promising beat may sound dull and uninteresting.
The secret to a rich and punchy bass kick is to use multiple samples at the same time. Layering the samples in this way allows for better control over the final sound. Many producers prefer to start with a deep kick sample that has a bit of a sharp attack. After adjusting the … ...Read the rest.

Wireless headphones… Just recently, I was on an airplane, watching the in-flight movie and listening to the audio through my headphones. The person in the seat next to me needed to use the restroom, so I stood up to let them pass. Unfortunately, the cable got caught on the armrest and ripped the earbud out of my ear.
