Oscar you are just the best. Your videos are apparently production oriented but the notions you give are just like basic grammar to understand electronic music. In every single video I learn something useful for djing and (more predictably) for live playing. THANK YOU! Your work is just on point.

I don't think DJ's ever really chose songs (or not) because of weird arrangements. The Age of Love and Schöneberg (a few very old examples that might or might not show my age) have weirdly timed intros that DJ's in the vinyl age hated. And many of us got ourselves in trouble for not counting it out. But we picked up on them anyway and turned them into huge hits. The counting error happens to you once and then you won't forget again. And the next time you play it, you know you passed another little DJ challenge. And other DJ's in the room know it too. Part of the fun. Anyway, DJ's play songs because they are great. Do not conform to those types of frameworks. Music has evolution too and if we keep on conforming to things like these we'll be left with very boring, stylistic music, without the quirks that lead to entire new directions. Thanks for the video, by the way!

Hi! Can I ask you what do you mean with "not counting it out"? What did it make Schöneberg weirdly timed?

Getting a larger sound system with proper low end, totally gave me a new appreciation for tracks with shorter punchy elements. The sustained low end stuff just gets a bit tiresome after a while.

This is all very useful, but what we really want to know Oscar is...WHAT is in that cup?

@SamUrtonDesign Ай бұрын

One thing "KH" seems to do a lot of is to do with the high-hats - he'll open them up and extend the decay, then close them back to being very short/tight. The really interesting thing though, is that he'll do this semi randomly, so the open/close effect doesn't always repeat in the same place. You can hear it especially on "Looking at Your Pager". Subtle but effective.

@OscarUnderdog Ай бұрын

I actually did a video a few weeks ago called "breathing hihats" about this exact technique :D

@TamlynRhodes Ай бұрын

There's a Tape Notes episode where he talks about how he made Looking At Your Pager. He took a drum loop that he had recorded previously of himself messing about with a drum machine and dropped it onto the vocals and it just worked. So that "semi random" hi hat decay modulation was not at all planned in the context of that track.

@SamUrtonDesign Ай бұрын

@@TamlynRhodes Yeah, I saw that same video. For that particular track (Looking at Your Pager) I listened a few times and (of course) I loved the track, but then I realized that it was that random high-hat/modulation thing going on that really made it for me. But yes, he had added the self made drum loop (recording) where he was tweaking the hats in real time, and it just worked so well. That and the bass line of course - and that vocal sample. LOL!

@SamUrtonDesign Ай бұрын

@@TamlynRhodes And, after seeing how simple that track was to make - wow. Definitely makes me feel even worse for my own production output (AKA one track every 6 months?) kzbin.info/www/bejne/sF6mlJeIq51qeaM

second point was a good one. Only just became aware that my produtions are usually the opposite e.g. tight and punch in the high end and less so as it moves down the spectrum

Imagine Four Tet shows up and says: "no problem I talked a bit and using it is fine with me, as long as people appreciate my music and learn from it!" 😂 If I would be a noted artist and my song would be released on a label, I'd contact those persons and tell them, if it's a learning purpose go ahead, f my contact, but don't tell anyone 😂

Great analysis of this (oaisgfnuhserbfrQJFSDF) tune! It sounds almost garage in the rhythm and very danceable. I'm interested in making techno that is good to dance to as well as listen to- though I'm somewhat restricted by being dawless and I don't use song mode as I like to constantly cut, filter and add elements of my tunes (using a Digitakt). It's always interesting to see how other people produce electronic music, I love how different the approaches and creativity is.
