111 - you dream about isratrance and hear a remix of a track in that dream. you can hear every detail even tho it`s just a dream (but of course you don't know that in that moment).
you think that the track is a bit too muddy compared to real pro tracks but somehow you like the influence of those muddy frequencies on your brain (maybe around 500 Hz?). the kick is very silent and you like it somehow. the "funky drummer" ghostnote-snare comes in and you smile. another 2 and 4 snare comes in and gives the track even more flow. and then the main melodie comes and you like it and are happy.
and that`s what happend to me 1 hour ago...

112 - You slice your finger really bad with a knife on accident, your heart drops to your stomach instantly from the shock and fear of what you've just done. Not because you cut your finger, but because it's your "knob tweaking finger" |

My girlfriend dragged me to her aerobics class (hanging round synths too long, not enough exercise!) and the music was really 80's, the guy taking the class clearly hadn't changed his music tapes in over 10 years.
I was really enjoying myself until I realised it was because I was admiring the use of 909's and synthesised snares. |

UPDATE!

42. You hear a whooshy noise in a club and shout 'Enigma!'
43. When your friends are DJing at a party you are constantly leaning over the DJ mixer to tweak the eq - 'just to get the best out of the sound system'.
44. When DJing you ALWAYS only run the mixer as loud as the sound engineer says you should.

59. When your girlfriend is feeling left out of your life, you call her into your studio, sample her saying something, reverse it, time stretch it and load it up with delay. Then you cut it on 16th notes and lay it behind a breakbeat. You consider that quality time.

71. you read all the topics here with the hope that one point wont fit with you.

73. Your only friend is the Pizzaman.
74. Your body consists of smoke, coffee and pizza only.
75. You invite your friend over for a few minutes to listen to your new track, and spend over an hour anal-rentatively "getting things ready" so they can "properly listen" to it.
76. You wonder if you could replace your car glovebox with a rackmount, & plug your novation into your car stereo, for those long road trips.
77. You've spent too long looking intensely at two row LCD backlit dotmatrix panels that when you go outside into the sunlight everything looks blocky.
78. if u imagine every sound you hear reversed andor time stretched andor pitch shifted.
