yeah just have fun with it. I love messing with samples in reaper.
He picked the rearguard action to fight tbh. That would have been fine in his 40s, but not in his 20s. I mean he should have pretended to be queer, or Latino at least. But then something happened in 2017 and he heard Migos on the radio.
wait is this Craner's ex?

How could you construct a soundscape to layer thru or across the percussion? Meant as stepping away from drum programming, listening for key and chord possibilities initially and breaking up going over the same drum sequences (which must have its limits = anti-inspiration)
Textures, timbres, the human voice, animals, so many choices. Free yourself of the tyranny of the beat for a few days and either give your ears a complete temp rest or change up your listening inputs
Drum or percussion programming on comps seems very left brained - hyper-focused, detailed, absorption, repetitive taskscapes. Witnessed with friends, always used to think posture corroding after 14 hours. At least at work I rarely stop moving
Collaborations too again. There’s a cluster around you with Third, Wektor, Dilbert, Patty even Woops if he’s in the mood (and more of you ‘plural’) as in there’s enough good ears and potentiality to produce something greater than the sum of your parts should an appropriate match appear. Push out more as much as you can in this matter, eg forums, local, international, vocals, solid key players, solid percussionists, ie solid ingredients
If you can do what you did with a single instrument (edit forgot name), think of more varied recipes and moving away from drum programming as primary provisional anchors

smart advice
i do feel like i've found a new outlook on it now that I've thought more about double timing that loop in various ways instead of just trying to change it up and affect in other ways at the same tempo - don't know why it didn't occur to me before
sometimes i guess I just need to scrap things - also, as i said to thirdform in messages, i need to start monitoring on headphones and other speakers more early on instead of what listening on what is essentially a club sound system (not really proper studio monitors), because i've come to realize how much worse things can sound when i listen on other speakers

yep, this is what I meant with the invocation of minimalism tbh, or more correctly spaciousness. You can be maximal even but things have to not get too swirly (imo). let it breathe. good stuff.
I don't know if I'm advanced enough to get everything to sound just right for dj set wise, especially getting a solid kick while also leaving room for a nice bass sound.
Like in that loop I'm using, the "kick" (I'm assuming it's the davul) seems to lose some of the character that I like about it if I touch the bass frequencies too much, and the frequencies of it are all over the map in the bottom and mids since it's so resonant.

sounds pretty perfect to me. esp if old equals the 90s
