I forgot to clarify , when I say "miss the 1" @17:00 I mean beat 1 not chord 1, its a time thing not a pitch thing hope that makes sense.

I've always known this technique as "a hard 2" because everything lands on the 2 beat instead of the 1.

@@stephenp2140oh this is great, because I have actually been doing a thing where 1/2 bars before the drop find a spot to insert a silent moment, usually followed by a really tiny fill before bringing everything back in
You are an amazing musician and a fantastic teacher. I’ve been trying to figure out everything on my own up to this point and have been getting better but you’ve opened my mind up to so many things from watching your videos. I’ve learned a lot and I owe any success to you. Keep doing you, I’ll be watching ❤

Haha ikr. that's actually the key difference when you transition to professional from hobbyist. you can't take forever to tweak and get 'lost in the sauce', it HAS to go out! so you learn to call it 'done'. Finishing stuff is it's own separate skill to be mastered.

you don't have to own a daw, or anything. What your expressing the desire to do here is actually the original definition of a producer. Producers don't program, mix, or play they guide musicians and engineers into a cohesive idea. Get yourself a musician and engineer team together and start producing your ideas!

You know, Carl is a lovely bloke. He used to put up with me waffling at him, when he played angels in Burnley, in the 90s. He used to hang out a bit in the club before his set, me being a heavily under the influence, amateur producer, used to bend his ear with my semi coherent, endless questions. He was always very nice, not up himself, had time for my nonsense.
I was really hoping the classic dj set up would be Turntables but I guess I'm just an old fart.

Back when the best/only DJ effect was a quick cross-fade to another record for half a bar, or a rapid push of the transform/mute button for a stutter effect. Back in the day we didn't even have EQ on the mixer, let alone Kaoss pads and all that. Then again, we were too busy cuing up the next track and getting it to beatmatch. I think modern DJs have more time for trickery now that the basics of tempo, track selection, and cueing are automated.

Well that's the challenge of education in general isn't it. Some of the best songs we have were just made with 'press and guess' as I call it, no actual calculation just luck and vibe. The problem is when we have to study that to find out why it works we have to compartmentalize and quantify aspects in order to communicate the concepts, which I agree ends up all sounding rather scientific. But I wouldn't be a good teacher if I just told everyone to go "press and guess" it'll work out fine!
