musicbattlestations. Failure to explain your setup and how it all works with your Ableton workflow will likely result in it's removal.

Posts that have been up and have a discussion under it will be left alone, but we'll be watching the new feed. If your post is removed, you're more than welcome to do the write-up and notify the mods once you've completed it to have it put back.

If you don't feel like writing anything ===> /r/MusicBattlestations

Edit: In its removal. I'm at work, it's a busy day, I'm only paying half attention.

Good idea, it's crazy how fast this started and spread. Like overnight r/ableton was taken over by battlestation pics. Not that I don't like them, I love looking at other peoples' gear, but I agree if you're going to post here you should write up how you use the gear with Live, and then post example music so others can ask questions.

It got old really quick. I'm willing to be lenient on music, since I don't make that much music that often myself.

we could maybe do a weekly feedback thread, I think we should encourage people to share and communicate but at the same time don't want a million "listen 2 this d0pe beat" posts clogging up the otherwise very useful posts in this sub

u/kidkolumbo Hobbyist Feb 27 '18

Sure. I'll investigate how to make it the most fair and see how best to implement it. If you know of a sub with a feedback thread that works, feel free to point me to it.

haha yea therein lies the problem, have yet to see one that's actually any good or constructive

u/kidkolumbo Hobbyist Feb 27 '18

Well, maybe having a thread that doesn't work well is better than having no thread at all.

Not to be rude, but your an upset moderator on a music production forum because people are posting setups of their rigs.... and “you dont make much music”...? Perhaps a bit salty?

u/kidkolumbo Hobbyist Feb 28 '18

That's both an incorrect assessment of my character and an oversimplification of the issue.

u/Shymain Feb 28 '18

I’d say the salty ones are those complaining about the moderators doing their jobs — sorry, kids, no more quick and easy karmawhoring with your “””battlestations.””” Let’s keep this to an Ableton-focused subreddit, thanks.

Thank you. I’m sick of coming here and just seeing people’s collections of midi controllers.

u/ConorNutt Feb 28 '18

Exactly,you didn't build that gear,you bought it in a shop and brought it home and hooked it up,that's not impressive.

u/youknowlee Feb 27 '18

My thoughts exactly!

u/SlarkMyrl Feb 28 '18

Fucking finally. We get it. You have tons of money and can afford all the fucking gear you want and you have a room big enough to fit all of your gear inside. Good for you.

To aid mobile users, I'll link small subreddits not yet linked in the comments

/r/musicbattlestations: If you make music, show us how and where you do it! Be it a bedroom studio, professional studio, or kitchen table - takes all kinds.

it started looking like /r/vinyl over here, thanks

u/ginsoul Feb 28 '18

Thank you! I posted almost the same message today and got roasted badly from all this people measuring dick-size in gear-setups. Than I thought I am not willing to discuss that with all of them and I deleted the post. Now I saw you guys had the same message to spread. Thank you once again....

u/ShonHisuka Mar 01 '18

battlestation threads are tiresome go have a dick swinging contest somewhere else. i've also noticed the bigger the setup, the more shitty or just completely absent the tracks are generally.

u/Kaiyn Feb 28 '18

They do get old pretty quick, But its a nice change from all the help posts that are in this sub.

"*Its* removal" This is /r/ableton not /r/musicbattlestations. Failure to explain your setup and how it all works with your Ableton workflow will likely result in it's removal.
