You could also put a lot of attack on the volume of each chop, cancels a lot of drums as well as they sit at the beginning of each chop, also gives you some feel of sidechain and adds a lot of movement.
I’ve heard this from many pros, to always sample in Mono… you can always pan the sample or spread the stereo field later on. Plus it saves on space! I know your speaking more about those “old Beatles type recordings” where the vocals may only play through on the left and instruments hard right, etc… which I haven’t honestly run into much lately, but, that’s definitely smart thinking! The worst thing I’ve dealt with on several occasions is when chopping up a stereo sample that’s got a weird ping pong type effect baked into it. Then when I go to play back my chops it’s bouncing all over the damn place! 😂 That shit drives me totally freaking crazy every time man! 🤬
I highly recommend Glen Cook's The Black Company. That book ended up nothing like what I expected. People said military dark fantasy that inspired game of thrones and the first law, and what I got instead was something more between Berserk and Hellraiser in a world that reminded me of a grittier Ivalice from Final Fantasy Tactics. Plus that book *moved*. Never a dull moment. But I'm not the best judge of literature, since I am an enjoyer of Warhammer novels, 40k and otherwise.
I use this technique often. Here's a question for you: when hard panned all the way, it grabs that audio and sticks it in the middle. Does that mean it is only using one voice of polyphony at this point? Or is it still using two...even though we can't hear both sides?
I’d like to think with it then being mono just 1 but it’s non-destructive so I wouldn’t be surprised if it stays the same. Can’t confirm that one sorry
1:44 if you like game of thrones books, you should read the books which inspired martin called " les rois maudits" in french. The title in english is " the iron king" by Maurice Druon.
On the book front try Child og God and Blood Meridian by Cormac. Both amazing. Loving your sp404 mk2 vids, really helping me to explore this idiosyncratic machine.
I find sitting and reading for long periods to be torture sometimes. Audiobooks have been a great solution. That way I can clean up around the house and read.
That’s cool - I have tried audio books in the past and find I drift off thinking about other things too easily. I should try them with a walk or something maybe 👍
Anything from the 60s should work since most mixing boards didn’t have Pan pots until later. They all had switches back then: Left, Center, Right. LCR mixing is something everybody should get in their toolbox.
Nice. The original stems! I'm a bit meh about stems after all the hype. I've been getting good results lately with speeding up the sample then pitching it down. Don't know if it's psychosomatic but samples seem to sound nicer after
Same man. I’ve lost interest in mpc3 and stems lately. No one needed it before now 🤷🏼♂️ I’ll have to try that technique. Are you doing it with the MK2?
am reading a good horror novel by the guy that wrote the ring trilogy and a random fantasy audiobook called the bridge kingdom but have got a cixin liu graphic novel i can’t wait to get into! love the book talk 🎉 keep up the new content style
0:46 I understand I am like that I love when I finish a book but I don’t like reading a physical book I listen to audiobooks but there is still no way to read and make beats 😂
😅 I get that feeling when I want to listen to music and edit vids at the same time…so frustrating knowing that the two just can’t happen at the same time
Yeah its similar with NCFOM but I've heard Blood Meridian is 'worse'. The style is quite confusing at first, especially the lack of quotation marks but I'm getting used to it
@@spvidz ...and they rode out of that vanished sea like burnt phantoms with the legs of the animals kicking up the spume that was not real and they were lost in the sun and lost in the lake and they shimmered and slurred together and separated again and they were augmented by planes in lurid avatars and began to coalesce and there began to appear above them in the dawn-broached sky a hellish likeness of their ranks riding huge and inverted and the horses' legs incredibly elongate trampling down the high thin cirrus and the howling antiwarriors pendant from their mounts immense and chimeric and...
Or if you wanna read a cycle that is actually finished, dig into "The realm of the elderlings," if you don't trust me, trust George (the writer not the sound engineer of the same name nimus the pirate grunts) since he's also an avid Robin Hobb fan. And at about 12.500 pages (give or take a few 100), I read it 4 times in a row. It contains 5 trilogies, with one being composed off 4 books. It treats its sentient dragons with some respect and not as a disposable airforce. For this endeavor, I advise a lightweight e-reader. Otherwise, cramped digits will hamper finger drumming. And a meter of books will clog your bookcase.
The hard pan you hear on old records is the result of a technical limitation of the gear of this era. The best multitrack recorders and mixers could only record on 3 positions: center, left and right. There is no such thing as true stereo at that time. It cale a little bit later, think Bob Marley era, where it was possible to record on… 4 tracks!!!
