What's with all the FM8 tallava @ youtube?

Post by CS_TBL » Tue Jan 05, 2010 7:50 pm

Do an 'FM8' search at youtube and you'll see 4 types o' FM8 videos:
- my truckload o' things
- random tunes where FM8 was used in combination with other stuff (Komplete mostly)
- instruction videos & reviews
- Tallava!

As for the latter, what's with all this tallava, there're dozens o' vids that all sound the same'ish (as someone I know mentioned recently: an angry bee on a microphone locked inside a jar). Every so many days a new video with more or less the same content pops up.. is there anyone here who knows the ins and outs of that style and why it happens as frequently like that?

Sounds like gypsy music with hip hop beats. I think it sounds kinda cool actually.

edit: yup, just looked it up - it is gypsy music

also chiming in here, I've pretty much thought you were a prick for a while now CS_TBL, and I don't totally agree with your views, but you certainly know what you are doing on your gear, so that earns you a bit more respect in my book than a lot of other people here
No one cares, no one sympathizes,
so you just stay home and play synthesizers.
