- Amateur
- Craft:
- live sound engineer
- Instruments:
- midi keyboard, electric guitar
- Genres:
- nu breaks, breakbeat, drum and bass, trance, electro
I've been in the live sound business almost eleven years. I originally started by taking sound classes so I could be a recording engineer, but fate changed that path. I worked for a nightclub for three years where I did front of house and monitors for many well known acts and a wide variety of genres I then moved onto a mobile sound company where I did more FoH and monitors for a variety of events for two years. I most recently did FoH and monitors for a church for 5-1/2 years where the stakes were raised even higher. I originally started remixing my band's tracks back in '93, and then my friend's tracks using a RY30 drum machine with synth waveforms and a Kawai K1 II synth. I then acquired an Alesis MMT-8 sequencer which changed everything.Today, I use Logic to remix or create my own tracks under the DiscoiD (pronounced Dis-Coid) name. I use a variety of soft synths, plug-ins, and the internal sampler of Logic, but I use some external hardware as well. Lastly, many of my tracks have electric guitar that runs through pedals and/or the plug-ins of Logic.

hey thanks for the comment...
good stuff on your page...
keep in touch!
Great stuff Rob.
Mariah mix is good, Volcano very good and I love Mind Blower.
Duran mix and Cesium not so much my thing but really like your "sound'
Looking forward to your input on the Nina remix ...thanks mate
Dig your work,including Mariah mix...Awesome beats!
Hey Robert,
I just listened to your .wav file Mariah ReMix you sent me and it sounds AWESOME! Your mp3 upload just doesn't do justice to your mix that it should deserve, unfortunately this is the case with most of the over compressed mp3 files, but the pure wav file sounds awesome!
CONGRATULATION!
I've added two new remixes from last year to show some more variety. The first remix, Cesium 137 from Philadelphia, was one of the hardest remixes I've ever done. What do you do when you already think the original version is perfect? And what do you do when all the stems are in MIDI format (except for the vocal), and some aren't labeled clearly as to what they do?
Duran Duran probably needs no introduction to anyone. "Nite-Runner" was supposed to have been the second single off of "Red Carpet Massacre," but it has not seen the light of day yet. I honestly don't think this is one of Timbaland's best productions, so I had to make it better. The original version was plodding and had no momentum in the pre-choruses which I changed. I also jacked the tempo up I think to 125 bpm.
hahaha!! ur halerious.. i know i know... the bass is too much but i have another version on my comp (a higher quality one) which was made after the comp which has less bass.. lol oh well! i'm 99th now.. but yeah.. its all good... :P there some remix which are so not supposed to be there but hey.. what can we do?? :P hehe
Hi Robert,I wanted to thank you for your support and inputs.I'm quite honored to be compared to Annell Drecker.So again thanks for your kind words and I would love to take part in some of your future projects...just let me know...Josie***
So I did cast my vote on your Mariah mix after all, due to its originality. For me originality and uniqueness is more important than many other things. Originality and uniqueness cannot be thought and are very rare and noble qualities! I checked out lots of mixes here and there were not many original ideas, especially good ideas among those I had the chance to listen to.
I cannot comment on the sound quality on your mix since I know the server where we uploaded the songs does a re-processing on the song file which makes the quality of a low bit rate mp3 sound file, but otherwise your mix is well balanced. Oh, and because I voted on your mix it doesn't mean that you are obligated to vote on mine, unless you really like it, but you do not have to inform me about it, unless you want to. It was my choice to inform you about my casted vote on your mix and that is why I wrote this comment and tried to be as honest as I could. May the force of creativity be with you! :-)
Thank you for your comment! yes, I wish too that my mix would be a little longer than it is, but I had only 4 days and basically this is what I was able to come up with.
I listened to your mix and I have to say that I like it. There are some nice elements and sounds in it I will listen to it more before I would decide voting on it or not, but again I like it so far. I'll let you know if I voted or not! Again thank you for the comment! :)
Hey man thanx for the kind comments. Lovin your beatz too well done. The speaker issue happened twice, basically it's new speakers (M-Audio Studiophile BX8a Deluxe) that have a great sound when they work and a reputation for not breaking down!! The customer service dude at the place I bought them thinks I'm the unluckiest man alive 8( Anyway they have a nice sound but a review I read recently said you may want to compensate for a lack of detail in the mids, and after listening to My MC mix in the cans a week or so after submission I think that there is maybe a little too much reverb in the high-mids. Unfortunately I didn't read the review til after submission and I only had 3 weeks to do everything due to entering late so couldn't digest and check again kinda thing til later. So there u go, a decent mix and a pile of excuses as to why it should've been better 8) In truth I'm actually delighted with how it turned out and think it bodes well for the future, first time i've ever really worked in such a disciplined fashion on a track and I learned a lot in the process, so soon the 2nd set of replacement speakers will arrive and I will be back in action. I'll stick you on contact dude, and i'll let you know when the next track is up, thanx again for listening B
Listen to this summer sound and vote.
thx Morefield & Bates.

Yea me 2 i didnt find out about the comp untill there was 3 days left so i only had 3 days so had 2 come up with the quickest solution i could to get the vocals to fit as i had to build the strucutre of the track and the mastering witch i take most of my time on. Ill upload some of my other stuff to for u to listen to. Thanks for all the feedback your giving me its realy constructive an helps alot cheers. Ill listen to your stuff once u have put it up.

Thanks for your constructive comments robert. I know what you mean about the vocal but the tempo of my track is 130 bpm i had 2 strech it alot to get it 2 fit but if i woulda went the other way with it it was to fast an you couldnt realy sing along to what she was saying. Thanks for the vote!

Hey! I know, my work is share the people, feels exaggerated: love, or hate, I know risky, people are scream, or will empty the dancefloor..I tested It, and the peoples are liked. :) Of course, not everybody. That was the only solution for my, I don't like house remixes with too fast acapella. :) Best wishes!
Hi Robert, I like your take on the song. exciting bassline. I can hear all your influences hine through. well done. Let me know if this is good enough 4 your vote http://www.indabamusic.com/submissions/show/2831
Nowadays, Miley/Jonas are everywhere, so they're kind of hard to avoid when even just doing normal things in everyday life. Lol. If you get a chance, check out Miley's cover of "Girls Just Want to Have Fun." Personally, I think it's a great arrangement. As I said, mix-wise it could have been better, but the arrangement is pretty solid, whoever did that.... I gotta check out the credits...
Thanks for your feedback, Robert! Positive or negative, I really do appreciate it. You hit it right on the head with Line 6, btw lol ;) You know your shit, my friend, and I appreciate musicians like you. My guitar sounds could definitely be better, but nowadays, the quality of hit records is become less and less important. Have you heard the mixing on the new Miley Cyrus record? Personally, I think it could have been mixed much better - and yet, shes a million dollar seller. I guess my ultimate goal in this competition was to create something not only creative, and original, but something that could be marketed to the Tween demographic, the teens that are giving up millions of dollars on records like Miley's or The Jonas Brothers. I wanted to create a track for Mariah that could make her a rock star, in addition to already being an R&B sensation. Anyways, thanks again for your input - if you enjoyed my mix enough, I'd love for you to vote for it, as well as to get your friends to vote for it - especially to help get some Pop/Rock in the top 10 and make it a real competition between different genres of music =) Thanks again, Robert, and best of luck with everything! - Spikey Jay
hey Robert - please check out our new submissson in the third eye blind contest "dont believe a word" if you have the time...we tried to make it punk, what do you think - if you like it please vote/hope the mixing is going well /chill FB
