also a massive fan of their glue themed gargantuous techno stompers output

@wektor yeah I love the glues stuff, so functional and unassuming.

went to see roc play last night at ormside projects
crowd feels a bit wierd there nowadays, not exactly as cozy as it was but
still they took it in surprisingly well considering the club just started filling up proper and it was around midnight

I feel like someone on here was maybe talking about the increased prominence of The Engineer in drill music. Engineers with a higher status than producers. Linked to this concern with modelling a 3-D environment in digital.

If you buy beats online (common practice with the likes of beatstars .com where the beat for huge hit "Old Town Road" was found) then you need an engineer to record your vocal.

It’s like the inverse of more bounce to the ounce where the mind blowing thing was hearing roger troutmans robot voice make these discrete jumps between tones, whereas with gliding bass on drill it’s the continuous loop the loop whip lash feeling

Exactly. modelling the continuum

Fluid dynamics

distribution points

There's an idea taking shape in my head that says there is music that traces the entire arc of a movement in real continuous time, and other that works as a series of jump cuts, so that there are sections of the tape missing, you find yourself leaping from point A to B without having been lead...

don't know if it's discussed already but i watched a youtube video by some massive nerd talking about pitch correction and how there aren't any real singers any more etc etc etc a couple of months ago and now i hear it everywhere. absolutely and comprehensively dominant production technique. it is getting closer and closer to AI. you can hear it in metal even how the technology is sanding everything down. all the copy and pastes and tinkering vs someone playing or singing.

yeah it's either autotune or some people use melodyne, zynaptiq pitchmap as well. comes with some funky affordances but is generally keyboard controllable.
I really like how zoomers in producer community start naming signature techniques, found out about something recently that is called "color bass". as a zoomer sound designer explained to me, it's an atonal bass sound put through pitch map to make it tonal.
