The album is great, not as good as Something Freaky though.
Recently decided to check out Music Bee after years of Foobar and wish I did it much earlier.

yeah havent really gotten into classical, jazz, or r&b yet. only have downloaded a couple of essentials. Once I get into them they will get a proper list
Kind of confused by what you mean by electronic not being a genre. What else is the umbrella term for house, techno, breaks, downtempo, idm, glitch etc?
psychedelia and shoegaze are not under rock because a lot of stuff in there is much more pop than rock. you're right about no wave and krautrock though idk why i didnt put those under rock.
also i couldnt decide if i should call it caribbean or reggae
Dylan Ward
>What else is the umbrella term for house, techno, breaks, downtempo, idm, glitch etc?
Why should there be one?
Why does hip hop get its own section but not techno? Both are about the same age and techno arguably has more variety.
Camden Long
Also if you want an umbrella for Caribbean music, it would be Calypso.
>Calypso is a style of Afro-Caribbean music that originated in Trinidad and Tobago during the early to mid-20th century and spread to the rest of Caribbean Antilles and Venezuela. Its rhythms can be traced back to West African Kaiso and the arrival of French planters and their slaves from the French Antilles in the 18th century.
>Calypso in the Caribbean includes a range of genres, including: the Benna genre of Antiguan and Barbudan music; Mento, a style of Jamaican folk music that greatly influenced ska and reggae; Ska, the precursor to rocksteady and reggae; Spouge, a style of Barbadian popular music; Dominica Cadence-lypso, which mixed calypso with the cadence of Haiti; and soca music, a style of Kaiso/calypso, with influences from cadence-lypso, soul, and funk.
Ayden Ortiz
Because when you're in the mood to listen to techno, you probably might want to listen to house or breaks as well?
I'm Artists don't usually tend to stick to one subgenre so I keep my genre tags as broad as possible to avoid any ambiguity as to where something belongs.
Connor Wilson
>I keep my genre tags as broad as possible
>separates rock, metal, prog, krautrock
Kinda contradicts you're whole techno/house/breaks point.
Levi Reyes
might be aoty so far
Kevin Richardson
Love the Minutemen, nothing new.
Asher Carter
Because house techno breaks trance etc are fairly similar and there is a lot of overlap between them. Hip hop could probably fit under electronic as well tbqh, you're right about that
Thank you for this!
Yeah basically this.
Prog and kraut are together tho, and there is a pretty clear distinction between metal and other types of rock.
If you're arguing that house, techno, breaks etc should be separated at a high genre level, like the separation between rock, jazz, classical and r&b etc, what is your justification for that? Techno, breaks, house, trance, glitch/idm, downtempo they're not that different are they? I mean what is the clear dividing lines between them that is as clear as the dividing lines between rock and jazz and classical?
I appreciate the conversation though, genres are pretty fascinating to me and I'd like to get a better grip of them particularly for "electronic" music

I use MusicBee with a simple Rainmeter skin, with the rest of the program minimized to my taskbar since I generally only have my 1 playlist playing or my whole library on shuffle, and my computer has media keys to change tracks.
Listening to Illusion of Seclusion by Photay, one of the best instrumental tracks I've ever heard or will hear in my life.
Isaiah Thompson
>Techno, breaks, house, trance, glitch/idm, downtempo they're not that different are they?
Sure, compared to jazz VS classical VS rock etc, they could be all lumped together.
If you want to use ''electronic'' (as in electronically produced music) as the umbrella, then hip hop should be in there.
In turn though, R&B, funk, reggae should then all be under ''guitar music'' along with rock (as in guitar produced music) as the umbrella.
Andrew Cruz
Not really. Most producers I know it's hard to say whether they're mostly house or techno or dubstep or whatever. They tend to dabble in a little bit of everything. Metal bands stay metal bands. Prog bands stay prog bands.
Wyatt Evans
There are plenty of people who like techno and detest breaks, plenty of drum & bass producers who wouldn't even contemplate making techno. It really works both ways.
Colton Allen
what extensions are you using on that foobar?

Simple Foobar200 setup.

>then hip hop should be in there
You have a point there, as i mentioned earlier. I'll change that.
I guess stuff like ambient, vaporwave, musique concrete, noise should also go under electronic?
>R&B, funk, reggae should then all be under ''guitar music'' along with rock
This is a fair point, however I'm just not really into R&B or reggae right now so I don't mind keeping them separate for now.
Like mentioned though, is instrumentation really the most important thing when separating genres? I dunno.
What exactly is the difference between breaks (of which dnb is a subgenre if im not mistaken) and techno? I've never gotten a good answer to that question on Sup Forums
That's really cool. I've been meaning to figure out rainmeter. I'll check that track out also

Well it works great for me since I always have chrome and discord open, and your 'simple' windows 95 look is nothing but hipster outdated ugliness.

why are you using that windows theme user?
Gabriel Adams
I just never got the point of Rainmeter. Makes your desktop look at a shitty spaceship at the cost of a lot cpu power.
Used to have it similar to but it all become unneeded stuff to display. I just have shortcuts to open up all the features in a smaller window versus displaying 24/7.
Joshua Brown
not that user but w95 theme is best theme

Wikipedia is your friend, Ishkur can be useful.
>breaks / drum & bass
emerged from rave and oldschool jungle scenes in England during the early 1990s. The style is often characterized by complex syncopation, fast breakbeats (typically between 150–180 beats per minute) with heavy bass and sub-bass lines, sampled sources, and synthesizers and lots and lots of breakbeat samples
>techno
emerged in Detroit, Michigan, in the United States during the mid-to-late 1980s. Its generally repetitive instrumental music. The central rhythmic component is most often in common time (4/4), where time is marked with a bass drum on each quarter note pulse, a backbeat played by snare or clap on the second and fourth pulses of the bar, and an open hi-hat sounding every second eighth note. The tempo tends to vary between approximately 120 to 150 beats per minute (bpm), depending.
Never said you shouldn't, although I don't see how thats relevant.
OP asked about his genre setup.
Chase Martinez
Because Aero looks like shit and all the other visual styles online are just as retarded and don't work well with other programs.
Jace Young
fair enough
Chase Sanders
Well as you can clearly see from my two pictures I've posted it plays the small visualizer on the bottom left of my right monitor, and has the date and time along with the currently playing song, no other excess information and is using this much of my cpu
Both rainmeter has been optimized and computers have gotten a lot better since it released in 2009
Jack Barnes
Still though, why have a visualizer? Why have a text clock when you can have a simple on in the corner?
Jonathan Myers

>What exactly is the difference between breaks (of which dnb is a subgenre if im not mistaken) and techno?
do you even listen to them?
looks quite nice, did you make it yourself or is that a skin?
it's foobar, you can make it look like whatever you want
Samuel Robinson
Because when I'm playing a game fullscreen on my right monitor I can still see the time on my left
The visualizer just looks nice imo
Samuel Perry
>it's foobar, you can make it look like whatever you want

are they any good itunes alternatives for mac? i just got a mac and i want something i can customize
Michael Howard
>What exactly is the difference between breaks and techno?
i mean, spelled it out very well in more stylistic and musical terms, but the more you listen to the genres the more easily recognizable they become. it's just familiarity for more people, but honestly i don't see how it's hard to tell the difference between something like this:
youtube.com
(breaks)
and this
youtube.com
(techno)
seeing as the op is autechre, here's another example: it's like comparing tri repetae (techno based album) with hard normal daddy (breaks based album). the biggest clue is obviously the percussive element.
