ok well how does that make working with a sampler more difficult? its always been that way, yes theres more looppacks and things to sample from but it doesnt make things easier, it just means people that dont cut up breaks or samples shouldnt be making tunes because they suck,

it all depends on what you do with it... like i said if you take a drum break and dont alter it at all, than you shouldnt call yourself a producer, its not my fault that just about everyone does this, however I dont

[hypercatjohn]

Samplers in the early to mid 90s had extremely limited memory capacity. Take the MPCxl2000, if you were to use floppy disks you had to double the speed of the sample to be able to fit anything worthwhile onto the disk. Few seconds at most. This in itself made producers work EXTREMELY hard to come up with complex and intricate break patterns. Now you have literally limitless scope, which in itself takes away focus. Having too many reverbs and delays and eq settings also takes focus away.

[hypercatjohn]

It's a simple question of focus, when you have too much at the fingertips, it's rare it's exploited in an actual way that utilises what it's capable of. Instead you end up with samey, overly shiney, overly produced poor quality tracks, which is why most genres now are flooded with utter shit and you have to dig like a motherfucker to find anything of merit

[shenmue4life]

uhh, no, point and click software, uhh yeah theres no software that just makes tune... you really dont know anything, just shut up

[hypercatjohn]

Well actually you're wrong on all counts. I work with Pro Tools, Logic pro 9, Reason to some degree and have vast experience in Cubase. I record people professionally for a living and have done for some time. Point and click yes, loops are a plenty now, most new house tunes are made up of sample packs, it's a saddening affair. Most dnb doesn't step outside of the 2step sound with large hoover bass because producers can't get their heads around the science of making synchopated breaks. Simple

[NVious95]

Stop talking about music and listen to it.

[OwnedRL]

@hypercatjohn careful buddy, verging on ignorance there. if you're getting jaded because people don't make syncopated breaks like they did in the 90's, you're missing the point of dnb and, dare i say, progressive music itself. dnb is alive because it changes and evolves while carrying the characteristics of what it was when it started. yeah, technology these days is insane which is a good thing, but there is a lot of shit out there (pendulum, blah blah).

Amazing tune.

@lexpie

@hypercatjohn didn't say this could have been accidental at all, he just said basically sometimes lucky mistakes occur, he wasn't referring to this tune.

@ajsholdings

By saying "Now anyone makes a tune" implies that you are saying only certain people should make music. The opposite is actually the case, more music will push the quality of the best stuff up, as they need to stand out from pack. More music is a good thing.

@shenmue4life

Before you start gobbing of about stuff you obviously think you know a lot about, take some English lessons mate.

[TheAngryjordy]

craaaaaaaazy amen.

[ch9zn]

deeeeeep as fuck

[gshack93]

@BootinTroopsinPutin ye man, ita because people stopped using sampled drum breaks and started to prouce there own electronic loops making at a lot more difficult to get the same flow and feel of a 'live' break, personally i think that the transion from live breaks to 'homemade' breaks was a good thing as dnb is very diverse and always changing but the only problem is there have been no recent changes in dnb and its started to sound a little repetetive, check my tunes man :D

[mizeyesis]

@NVious95 EXACTLY!

[BootinTroopsinPutin]

nah has to be said like.. drum beats after like the yr 2000 just... stopped changing in tunes. Keep having to put up with shit like "dum dum tsk, dum dum tsk, dum dum tsk" for a good 4 - 5 minutes absolute fuckin bollocks. All you hear these days is some thumpy beat and it is brass.
