Those gave me an idea for a skee-ball volume 'game'. 100(%) would be the easiest, Mute would be the most difficult.
I like the US Air Force logo. However I don't like that font. I think a condensed font would look better here, imo.
In a similar position at a startup. I love that I own design, but I'd like someone to bounce ideas off of and collaborate with.
It is challenging, but in its own way rewarding. I won't do it again though, unless I'm working for myself.
Has anyone attended, or planning to attend, this festival? I'm going to be near there for LET IT ROLL. I think I might attend it for a couple days.
Hi, I'm curious, I've never heard of this format, what medium is it for?
Thanks so much, you're absolutely welcome. I update it almost daily.
I am very active on SoundCloud, where I find new tracks. My SoundCloud
I also repost tracks to my G+ Neurofunk Community
I'm only familiar with Gydra, from that label, but I will check out the podcast. Thanks!
I would find it difficult to work without listening to music. Does it make me more productive? I don't know, but I feel more engaged when I do.
I listen to a lot of neurofunk drum & bass, e.g., Noisia, Current Value, Mefjus, Hybris, Phace, etc. Here's a link to my Spotify playlist.
If you're a fan of this style and want to discover new music, I highly suggestion listening to Noisia Radio. Here's a link to the Dutch trios weekly Friday show on SoundCloud.
Here's my custom Pac Man decal that incorporates the Apple logo.

I'm curious, what type of music does your friend produce?
I listen to a lot of (neurofunk) drum & bass - e.g., Noisia, Mefjus, Current Value - and for that genre, SoundCloud is absolutely the best platform to me as a listener imo.
I can only speak as a fan of that genre, but nearly every day SoundCloud is like Christmas to me. Producers release lots of 'in progress' (ID) tracks, and then follow it up with full-length previews. I really like the constant stream of new music from many of my favorite producers.
For lesser known artists, I'm sure it's unfortunately easy to get lost in a sea of noise.
As a designer, I love the player UI and real-time commenting. With the waveform as the 'slider' it serves both as a large and effective UI on mobile - much better than trying to move the dot on the Spotify player for example. Additionally, having it begin in the center of the screen (on mobile), there's a generous amount of space to touch and drag it to a new section in the track.
The waveform also helps you remember, find, and go back to your favorite parts in a track or podcast (where I find it especially useful). I would love it if Spotify were to 'borrow' this design.
The time-based comment system is really appealing to. I enjoy seeing how people react to sections of tracks, specific sounds, and the community in general.
It would be a really sad day for me if SoundCloud ever has to close it's doors for good.
