    2Tall is Om Unit?

    in MUSIC/DJ RELATED

    Posted

    hey all, this popped up in my google alerts, thought i'd drop some words in.

     

    indeed I am now working as Om Unit, full time I might add - took me a while but glad to say I've found my groove finally.

     

    @jon - Coco B is now "sleeping giant" - he's got some great soul tracks coming soon, with some fantastic vocalists. Bryce is another fella all together.

     

    And indeed I shall be in Computer Music soon, talking about how I put together my track "Dark Sunrise"

     

    big up etc.. :)

    Tape basically will give you a more accurate reflection of the pure input at high frequencies, provided it works ok.

     

    essentially digital mediums despite having oversampling and all that suffer from aliasing (basically strange harmonics) at the higher end. (this is at 44.1khz)

     

    this explains why vst synths generally sound nasty as hell at the very top.. unless you use fabfilter plugins that have aliasing control and sound a lot 'purer'

     

    tape does loose out down the bottom though, sub bass tends to roll off and go fuzzy.

     

    essentially compressing the signal before taping gives a lovely rounded sound, i'd say get a decent matched 2 channel compressor like a neve strip and give it a go..

     

    really it depends on what you are putting to tape. if you are using a session from say logic or cubase, that is working at 44khz it will just add some tape roundness. but if you're running a high def audio session it will make more of a diffrence..

     

    especially if you're cutting to vinyl.

     

    there are still cutting houses that will accept a 1/2" tape format..

     

    but really 'that tape sound' comes from compressing to tape from a decent source (i.e. mixed at high def. through an analogue desk and run through a high quality compressor)

     

     

    so basically you'll need to spend more money to make it worth it in a mastering sense.

     

    one cool thing to do though definaetly is run things like synth parts to tape, as the saturation can add some great harmonics to the mids and highs.

     

    hope that helps!

    We normally end up with a freestyle at the end but not super long. Like 15 mins or something.

     

    The thing is 90% of scratch shows are shit. No atmosphere, everyone bored, a bunch of people with their heads down ahhing over a beat.

     

    When we done the first event here the guy organising it said he was gonna do set showcases with a little music between it. I was a little sceptical thinking there should be more freestyles, jams ect. I was totally wrong. the way it works is like a propper show. Keeps it interesting and more professional. Gives people time to digest things and enjoy the shows too without getting bored at watching 45 mins of ahhh fresh. At every one so far there has been a killer atmosphere with people right into it as can be seen on the comunity scratch vids.

     

    I have been to a few other scratch jams around the world where it has been nothing like that and a bit boring and this exact reason is why.

     

    Having said that there has always been a freestyle at the end. ;)

     

     

    when we did "a kut above the rest" we tried to make it more of a performance at one point, cos really cutting is only interesting to those who cut after about 5 minutes. and there's only about 20 of them there and these guys weren't heavy drinkers.

     

    ahh but this is all performances to people who are heavy drinkers and no one gives a fuck, no adgenda.

     

    even girls dance!
