I still can't get uzi's down. I can do them by themselves really well, but I can't smoothly transition into them or out to another technique, its like I need a beat or two to tense up enough My forward tears are also shit

Really like this! Love the transitions between the samples. How long you been cutting for?

V nice cuts!

Apple said the new Intel Macs will run Windows and Linux fine, but you won't be able to put OSX on any old PC, only Apple's. I can understand why they're doing it, they make 45% of their money off hardware and got burned by teh clones before, but its a shame I can't just stick it on my PC at work. My Mac at homes still good for a couple years yet, will be interesting to see what happens

the record movement ratio between continuous delayed 2 clicker and a continuos 2 click orbit is 3:1. same clicks, but different record movement. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Cool, thats how I understand it. I found a wicked sounding variation on what is above is to pull back on the forward with clicks at both ends, so the 'baby' part is always going forwards rather than alternating direction. So you get... freshserf-fres-fresherf-fres- ...instead of... freshserf-fres-hserfres-sref- Hope that made sense

Wow nice files, man! Loads of nice patterns, inpsiring stuff. What beat where you using in New and Late Nite?

FLOL 1:04 made me spit my lunch all over my monitor I'll post something up later...

Mine should already be fully controllable via Midi, so you can use footpedals and stuff if you want. You need to have your host set up to route the midi to the right places tho, I'll try and post up a Logic preset tonight. The only thing right now is that the GUI won't show responses to midi messages, even though the plugin running underneath will, Imma sort that out soon though. Cheers for the pointer Mixologist I'll try out Ambiloop tonight!

Being a nerd and also being a cheap one who can't afford a BOSS RC20 or anything like that I started writing a software emulation of one ages ago. Its finally in a usable state, and you can download it here... LoopStashen Should work fine in any AudioUnit host like Logic or Cubase or whatever. If you've got Tiger install the Developer tools! They come with an ace program called AULab which is basically just the channel strip for Logic. On that page is a link to a preset which should load up AULab with your audio-in going into the Looper plugin. Just make sure you stick the plug-in in <your home directory/Library/Audio/Plug-ins/Components/! Its like a RC20 except its got 8 channels that can be recorded to individually, and you can change the volume on them and solo them and all that. Plus you can delete individual channels too so you don't have to start again just cos you muffed your hihats Features to be added are a button to merge tracks together so once you are happy with them they don't waste space, and also an option to save and load the contents of each channel to disk. Also make it look nicer and generally be better! Sorry it's Mac only, but I'm working with a mate on getting a Windows version going too, if anyones interested

Number 3 has the most loops on it I like to cut to, theres four or five in this one I really like. He needs to sort out his treble tho, those hihats of his hurt my ears!

I know what you mean, thats what I try to do. The problem is, when I'm listening to stuff at work or on the bus or whatever I have all kinds of crazy patterns and combos going through my head, and I get all hyped up haha...but the second I get in front of my tables, my mind just goes totally blank. I think its cos I get kinda self concious or something

You've only been cutting ~2 years? Damn! I've been cutting a little over 3 years and my phrasing sucks in comparison. But dope file regardless of how long you've been cutting.

Nice one cgroove! This site is ace for breaks too!

I only go to D-Style's board for a laugh and the odd file, nothing more. Asisphonics can be cool but theres still too much shit talking and pointless drama. Just about every discussion descends into bitchfests about Rucker, being a hater or not being next level. If find this place the most useful, even though I don't post much

haha no I don't think about that stuff when I'm doing it either, but you got to get it across somehow. When I'm scratching I only think about the sounds and the rhythms I want, never 'right I want to do a 4 click reverse chirp sodflare next' or whatever. If I'm scratching well I kinda send the sound I want to hear to my hands, not the movements required to execute it, if that makes sense :s

I first heard that when I'd just started cutting and it didn't do much for me, but now when I listen to it, damn! Its like an encyclopeadia of mentallist patterns...thats an incredible file. That pattern at 2:42 sounds a bit like what I was talking about. Theres a variation I do where I click four times each way, but the clicks come in pairs rather than 1/2/3/4 style, with the first click on direction change, it sounds just like that, except sloppy as hell hehe. Sounds like you are chirping then clicking like you're about to chirpflare but then carrying on with 2-clicks instead...am I close :$

Could you post/PM a tracklisting cos I'm #2 bandwidth leach at work right now and this will put me in #1 and that would be bad :$

Wow nice file Ryan! I got 42-45 secs on loop to figure it out I thought I had delayed 2-clicks figured out, but it seems different to everyone elses description, even though it sounds like Ricci's file on The Ever. The way I do em is...do two-click orbits so that the forward/backward stroke lasts 3 beats, then delay the clicks so that the first click of the pair lands where the record changes direction from back->fore and fore->back...thats it! Anyways yeah dope file, I'm keeping this one

Sheeit! I can do double time 2 clicks up to about 100bpm if its '3 sounds in 4 beats' style, but not if its '3 sounds in 3 beats' style (terminology???), which is what I want cos then I can do those trendy delayed flares at 100bpm too haha I've always thought of quick two-clicks as being a single snap of the finger, its hard to explain...I usually use my middle finger too because my pointing finger is also really weak. I just snap it against the fader, and I guess it kinda bounces off and then the bounce on makes the second click. By adjusting how strong I hold the fader with my thumb, it changes the speed of the two click

Get'em for the loops and some of the sentences Sealed Breaks for the drums Butt Ugly for the 1-2-3-4-5 and the wierd noises I want to get a couple of First Power's break records too, nice and dirty samples and loops. Somethings gonna smack you hard!

Only joking really, if it makes it easier to express yourself then its a good thing! With the transforms its not speed, I just haven't got the strength in my thumbs to click on, its just a spring, so my transforms are all noise and no silence. Like I can do... --_--_ but I can't do... -__-__-__ if that makes any sense

When I started cutting I scratched regular, but after about 10 months I switched to hamster. Now I'm trying to switch back to regular because transforms seem to sound better done regular style, I think its because if you're like me and you got weak thumbs then short stacatto cuts (where the fader is off most of the time) are tricky. Plus hamster just feels like cheating PS Hello all, just came over from Asis! Nice forum!
