Just wandering really, kinda new round ere...

I find the d&b that uses the technique to be the better parts of the genre tbh,Slothrop wrote:Although some uncharitable types would suggest that this is part of the reason that so much modern dnb is so fucking boring...Truncated wrote:yes, pretty standard practise in dnb,
I dunno, it just seems to be a part of a mindset that emphasises really precise and anal optimization of certain specific sounds (eg a big buzzy roaring reese or a harsh sounding snare) within really strictly defined parameters rather than doing anything striking or unexpected.Truncated wrote:I find the d&b that uses the technique to be the better parts of the genre tbh,Slothrop wrote:Although some uncharitable types would suggest that this is part of the reason that so much modern dnb is so fucking boring...Truncated wrote:yes, pretty standard practise in dnb,
the music that doesn't is usually more simple and boring.
its a technique blaim tthe person using it, not the actual technique
agree...Slothrop wrote: the idea that this should be some sort of standard still bothers me...

I mean, I've heard a bunch of stuff from people who spend four days EQing their snares or resample their basslines 57 times or whatever and while they're often very good sounding snares or basslines they're often very good sounding in pretty much the same way as everyone else in their subgenre, so you kind of wonder what the point was.
I dunno, maybe it's more something I'd see as a symptom than a cause - if you've actually got new ideas coming out at a rate of knots or you're in a young fresh genre then in the time it takes to create a bass sound, split it into 57 frequency bands, process each one with a different compressor / chorus / distortion combo, combine it back together, resample it 15 times, let it stew in its own reverb for three days and then regen it through an old shoe for that oaky timbre you could have written another five tunes that push the genre in new and unexpected directions.

Thats what I want to know.spencerTron wrote:
(was @ at the thread starters post. i.e. being toldthat it is the standard you must do it do every time in every tune...makes you wonder why?)
