...I follow that might give yall a good laugh:
- I chop every startin point of every sample to the very center, the zero-sound point in a given channel, before even buildin a line. If that point is impossible to find, say in a very dense stringchop goin from one pitch to the other, I simply dont eff with it.
- I dont do stereo drums, since I need complete control over the sound distributed, and I feel Ill lose that if the signal differs from left to right.
- For the longest I even monoed ALL samples, also due to the control issue, with the result that thousands upon thousands of my earlier beats sounded dead and flat due to the lackin dynamics in between the L and R channels.
- I have a strict mathematic schematic that I follow (when making beats), and that goes for all parameters, be that volume, tempo, delay, etc. etc.. Even after playin somethin out on the MPD, I tighten it up and adjust the individual parameters to fit that scheme.
- I have a loudness issue, a certain passion for very loud drums that forces me to pull them to the front and max em out every day all day, completely destroyin the possibility of other elements takin the lead or shinin brighter.
- I do all my beats in double the BPM to have more lines to program in between lines, I.E. 90 BPM becomes 180.
- I tell myself that I can squeeze the masterin process into the same session as the mixin, which gives me rather good soundin beats, since I know my ear/gear, but leaves absolutely NO ROOM for professional mastering afterwards.
- I often keep whole sampled songs as .WAVs in the beat arrangements, resultin in MASSIVE loadin times, at times even causin my DAW to crash.
- I worked solely on a notebook for 5 years. Yes, a notebook. Now Ive upgraded my machine park – to a laptop. And a cheap lookin plastic box with some pressure sensitive buttons, which I dont use, cause I need all signals goin in to be maxed for them to fit in my abovementioned mathematical schematic.
ALSO, Herb, these weeks challenge is the one you requested, with the teamwork stuff goin on, check it out!!! ----------------------------------
NEW Edo.G album FreEDOm coming soon!!!
