  • You won't get a usable result by recording claps in a room like this.

  • Not necessarily.

  • Then show me a good one.

    The ambience strictly don't fit for any style of quality music.

  • Because I want to keep winding you up, I'm going to answer in a frustratingly tangential way: if you watch Youtube video v=5YBe-86l5F8, you'll see a madman make an insanely fat rhythm track from some kitchen hardware, plus a cheap drum kit just in his back room. In music, there ARE NO RULES, and there is NO OBJECTIVE DEFINITION OF QUALITY.

    Watcha got next?

    Kind regards

  • lol thanks just what i needed

  • This is grandiose ! Excellent educational material, this undoubtedly indoctrinates young synthoutiasts like myself. Thanks again for letting me witness pure handclap recorded live in wild environment.

  • And as such, it was his intent to show you can make sound in not a perfect environment/setup.

    It's the result that matters, not the way you achieve that, imo.

    Hats off.

  • I'd like to join the discussion.

    Tubin, you've said 'You won't get a usable result by recording claps in a room like this."

    Then technicians responded with a proper example of recording in less that perfect environment and making perfect use of the recorded material.

    And then you Mr. Tubin, claim, that the way he uses the clap blows the sense of discussion.

    It is just that, he recorded his clap using crap mic and "used" it in a way. Hence he got a usable result.

  • True,,

  • Okay, I was doing wrong using the word "quality" for this. I watched that clip. That's another man doing a good beat by kitchen percussion. But the way he uses that clap blows the sense of our discussion. Would you recognize it as a clap if you just heard the mix? I could also record something in my bedroom if I just wanted to use it for laying it over for example a noisy snare. Now I hope you know what I'm driving at.

    Kind regards
