Check all the first and second wave Detroit shit. So important that you do. Only then should you proceed. Still the Cybotron tunes like Techno City put a smile on my face that lasts for days. Also, anything by Drexciya. Whether they would come under either a techno or house bracket is irrelevant. Th...

If you're having trouble getting a groove going with the hats, try this: Loop your sequencer so only 4 bars are playing over and over (or 2 - whatever). Then, whether in audio or in MIDI, start arranging some hats you like in real time. Lay down a basic sequence and start nudging them this way and t...

What's wrong wth the Logic one?

Multimetre it's called.

Yeah it was real good.

not bad.

Hey, come on man, that’s just below the belt. I’m not saying my tunes are the shiznit or anything like that, just that I think compression is used too much on, like you say, the majority of “dance music”. And a lot of the time it sounds fucking shit - flat, hard, lifeless. Yes, it’s loud, but the wh...

Yeah thats what you read in a fucking book. This isn't classical music. I'm pretty certain that every single 'dance' track ever made, whether house, trance, dnb or dubstep will have some compression involved whether thats at production or at final mastering. That's probably true (and there's a lot ...

TIP:

Don't listen to everything you read on here.

95% of it is total bullshit.


All I would say is you don't need compression to make things loud. Or rather, if you mix well, you SHOULDN'T need it.

@Shonky: Say I have a MIDI region of hats quantised on the 8th notes - what happens to those notes when a groove template is applied? Do they all change position, or do they just move slightly and take on the feel of the template? Surely it doesn't totally reprogram the hats? Or maybe it does. Still...

Great mix. Killer tunes. Smooth as velvet.

When u back in London Martyn?

FUCKING HELL I'm looking fwd to this.

Yep that Carlson tune is sick - the drums in it are so good it's untrue.

Seriously man, you need to watch it.

Big up crazy d every time.

LOL EFA.

That cracked me up good and proper.

Clashcame - well said. Nail on the head business.

Gonna grab your mix when I'm back at work. Looks superb.

Lads come on, this is Crazy D we're talking about. Bad man.

I'm no MC lover but Crazy gets it right. Was spot on at FWD last night as usual. Good show this one.
