JHouse Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 I sounded more original when I started, when I could only perform transforms. Then I got into all the typical cuts, and really noticed I was sounding like many others. However, I cut with this dude awhile back that could only transform, and it really got me back into them and just being funky, not trying to kill it 25/8. Often I have to remind myself to just relax and be musical, which is when I usually revert to transforms. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest petesasqwax Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 That's funny - I have exactly the same thought process. Subconsciously, transforms = funky 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj justin time Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Pete j house Beat me to it, I cut in the club all the time and average peeps don't get a buzz outta advanced techniques, they love the transforms, chirps and the odd one click. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jam Burglar Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 i tihnk pitching has a lot to do with getting a nice flow and signature sound. lots of techniques can be represented and learned easily through fader movements which can easily be plotted on a graph/ttm. record control, as mentioned earlier, is not as easy to demonstrate and theres lots of subtle stuff going on with it, tableturnsmore will talk to you for days about hand positions getting different sounds I sounded more original when I started, when I could only perform transforms.

R Funksmith Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 The best method I found was to verbalise scratch sounds that you want to create, and then go create them A lot of jazz guitarists do this while they're soloing. I sometimes find it pretty annoying/amusing if I'm on stage next to them, but the audience can't hear it so no problem. There's one guy I do gigs with, his voice sounds so weird singing along to his solo (or I guess he's soloing along to his singing actually), I wish I could record his voice and get rid of all other sounds. He sounds like a cat prostitute being strangled. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He sounds like a cat prostitute being strangled. That's a great comparison, you hear it all over jazz records - the musician vocalising the melody that's in their head whilst they play. And for me that's also great argument that the turntable is an instrument, for those who still dismiss it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
