Isn’t this place slow? Something wrong when connecting to soundcloud… freezes my firefox each time. Not fun.

One note about groups. If I understand the correspondence correctly that I’ve had with SoundCloud, as of the 22nd they aren’t merely being turned off completely, the groups are actually going away. The current soundcloud.com/groups/disquiet-junto/ will yield, in other words, a null return. Again, that’s if I understood the communication I’ve received correctly.

you’re right

comments are threaded. just just need to use the correct reply button. to start a thread you reply to the individual post (the reply button within the message you want to reply to). to reply to the whole topic, ie, reply to the original post, use the blue reply button at the bottom of the list of posts.

the interface updates and you can then click to see threaded replies to a comment. and also floating comments show an “in reply to” icon which will expand the original comment.

i honestly think comments are best here, provided that the “reply” functionality is used correctly. the UI is likely not sufficiently clear.

I don’t see my track there so possibly I am posting it incorrectly?

A typo is the issue. The title says “diquiet 0240” but there should be an “s” in “disquiet” and no space before the 0240. Otherwise the search return doesn’t bring it up. I’ll add now, and you can just fix the title whenever. Thanks.

Ah ok, i just fixed the title and the url as well. Thank you for catching that!

Here’s what I did to make this: I started with a snippet of sound I had recorded a few weeks ago. (If I recall correctly, it was a custom Aalto patch being driven by MIDI from some Reaktor 6 blocks.) I opened it in Audacity and used the Paulstretch effect twice (with default settings), resulting in a total stretch factor of 400. I opened the result in Reaper and used ReaEQ to tame some ringing resonances. Then I put that result into Glitchmachines’ Cataract and tweaked settings until I got a rhythmic sound I liked. I duplicated that result and used ReaFir’s Subtract mode on both instances (with two different settings), thereby restricting one instance to frequencies in the 3K to 12K range, and the other to frequencies in the 100 to 400 range. These were layered with the original stretched and EQed audio and slowly faded in.

you can still add to groups, on your own profile, underneath the track, next to the share button. it worked for me, but i guess only till Aug 22nd.

Yeah, and based on what I’ve heard from SoundCloud, not only does groups stop functioning fully on the 22nd, it fully goes away. The URLs will yield null returns.

#116

Strange. On mine it comes up with the removing groups to ‘make space’ (!) message when I click that button
