18:36 <@esch> solios: What do you use to make beats for PPAC?
18:39 <@solios> Garageband.
18:39 <@solios> >_>
18:40 <@esch> Huh.
18:40 <@esch> I always forget about that.

Since he asked:

• Garageband 2* for beats and a lot of tracks, as well as general MIDI editing, etc.
• Final Cut Pro for silly-putty style time stretching. It speeds up and slows down the track with almost no limits, as opposed to the half/quarter Autechre-esque beat distortion that Soundtrack does. Not sure why the rest of the Apple audio apps can't do this kind of distortion, but it doesn't matter - FCP does a great job of it. Almost all of Crooner was done in FCP.
• Metasynth for basic audio mangling. I have no idea how to actually use the application, so I just kick it until it squawks. Hasn't been used since BADISTHEGOAL.
• Wiretap Pro to pull audio out of Metasynth and VLC.
• Soundtrack for everything else.

* I need GB3's OMFGPODCASTING!!!! feejurz about as much as I need a spare uterus.

22:24 <@ejp> solios: imagine what you could do with a spare uterus *and* teeth in your asshole.
