    How Passionate Are You About Music?

    in MUSIC/DJ RELATED

    Posted

     

    I like northern soul very much but that scene is weird Ive been to a few nights

     

    Theres a sense of entitlement and misery

     

    Yeah,I couldn't agree more with you tbh..the strange world of Northern Soul has always attracted its fair share of weirdos and folks who take the OVO (original vinyl only) thing way too far.

     

    I get tired of these morons very quickly nowadays..I used to waste too much time arguing the case for the need for reissues, compilations etcetera of the music which deserves to be heard by as many people as possible, imo...i have no desire whatsoever to spend £400 on a rare 45 when I can pick up a legitimate repressing for £5 or find it on a compilation cd irrespective of how much I like the track or the particular genre of music.

     

    Trying to convince some of these idiots that it doesn't devalue the music iin any way if it's not the original source material that's being heard or my argument that music belongs to everyone,not just a select few is something they just don't seem willing to accept or understand, basically.

     

     

     

    I completely agree with you on that Dan I can't understand how people hate on reissues makes no sense to me. I honestly think the dudes value how rare / expensive the record is over the actual music which is a shame.

    It completely reminds me of clothing and shoes where the harder to obtain more scarce product drives up demand, instead of the actual look of the clothing IMO. The Yeezy shoes are a perfect example once they started producing more pairs where they were accessible to everyone sneakerheads started shitting on em.

    Accent and Tear-Flares Question

    in SCRATCH TECHNIQUES

    Posted

    He's doing two different scratches there, normal 2-click orbits and delayed 2-click orbits (0:16), both with an accent. Normal ones start open fader, delayed: closed fader. Basically same movement, but shifting the timing in reference to the beat. The problem is the video is bad - doing a half a dozen different scratches, but doesn't use appropriate terms or provide TTM notation. What makes things even more confusing is, sometimes boomerangs, autobahn types and swing flares get all mixed up depending on tutorial.

    :wacko:

     

    Here's what I consider delayed flares:

     

     

     

    yo cheers that is definitely the scratch he is doing at the end. this is much easier to watch cheers!

    Brutal!

     

    I used to love fighting games, but I just don't like playing them online for some reason. It was much more fun back in the day where you did "winner stays on" with friends in the same room.

     

    If you play with friends in a lobby the winner stays on is how it works for most fighting games.

    Cool.

     

    You should get in on the DV beat battles man !

     

    What recording gear are you using to produce your music with Tbtf?

     

    Will do, i just have ableton live and an akai mpd26 and some krk rockit monitors for now. I thought i would keep my setup simple and get more beats under my belt before going off and buying a ton of gear.

     

     

    That redo sounds way better dude. I know a lot cats make purposefully choppy beats but its never really been my thing. Good stuff.

     

    Thanks man, at first I was trying to flip the sample so it sounded nothing like the original. I think by over complicating the chops i ended up with a less musical sounding piece and jumpy as dan and steve mentioned.

     

     

    That's an honorable intention but I would be careful about letting that get in your way. I've seen lots of producers get twisted up trying to "flip shit beyond recognition" or ditch sampling all together on the premise that its not as good as choosing your own notes and making your own melodies, patterns, etc. Those guys fall off a lot of times. When you ask them who their favorite producers are its like "Pete Rock, Marly Marl, Rza, etc.", who all did plenty of strait up loop lifting. If what Pete Rock was doing was so "easy" then everybody would have their own TROY. So many people talk about chopping and flipping these days but some of the best tracks were more about combining sound x with sound y and z to make something that sounds like it was always meant to be. Fact is, going crazy on the chops is not better or worse than looping, it's just different. Ditching sampling all together isn't "better" it's just different, and there are disadvantages that go along with the advantages. So, my advice is to not worry too much with impressing the "heads" and focus most on making music.

     

     

    Such solid advice man, i think you perfectly summed up what i learned from this entire thread and feedback!

     

     

    just listened, dope man, the slightly swingy version is nicer i think.

     

    Thanks for the feedback sym!

     

     

    And i finished the track, think i am pretty satisfied with the final result here it is

    Hey guys i edited the chops up and uploaded the changes. It still is a bit jumpy i think how steve says, however i dont just want to loop the sample add the drums and bassline and say i made a beat (kinda feels like its cheating)

     

    I changed the part of the section of the main sample which had drums so now the beat sounds fuller IMO too.

     

    Let me know what you fellas think.

    And Dan, i feel you i can only do super simple drums and i drum these in myself this is probably why the drums sound so stiff / basic.

    Hey guys thanks a lot for the feedback. I am going to go back to the drawing board on the chops and try and make is sound less jumpy. Best advice i have gotten so far everyone else ive showed the track to never has anything constructive to say so i appreciate it fellas!

     

    also @danswift, what do you mean by stiff? I take it you are strictly talking about the drums here?

    excel macro - copy/paste without excess rows

    If i understand you correctly you are moving the data from one worksheet to another using a VBA macro. And the VBA macro will copy the cells from one worksheet to another for selected column you want to move over, and you are copying and pasting blank rows into the other sheet?

     

    If so you have two options.

     

    One create a dynamic named range and reference those in your code.

     

    Or two when looping through the cells in the range if the value of the cell is equal to an empty string simply break out of the loop.

    A raspberry pi with motion installed would work as well. You could easily write a script to upload the videos to dropbox or any other online cloud service. It also has streaming capabilities.

     

    Here is a video on how to set it up
