(313) Thinnerism???

2011-07-21 Thread G. Jones
Anyone know what happened to Thinnerism??? I was waiting for the relaunch
back last Oct/November only to see it changed to this November. Anyone know
where I can find the old stuff in the Thinner catalog for download?

 good article, a little off at times (seriously... Rob Theakston is just a
Detroit rave veteran???), but a good read.

RE: (313) OK Kent, I see your point

2011-07-07 Thread G. Jones
this could be argued a bit.

I would use Ghettotech as possibly the best example of had to be there
kind of music. While the world at large rocks out to GT, unless you were
listening to Gary Chandler and the rest of 'em evenings on WJLB from his
first appearances in early '91 until GT had fully formed, you can't quite
piece together where it came from or why. Maybe I'm putting too much into
it, but I believe having been in the clubs back then hearing the progression
to full-on ghettotech gives me a different take on GT than maybe someone
else who wasn't there. It's likely an association with different events from
back then too... Like hearing Coffee Pot (It's Time for the Percolator) on
Belle Isle or the 7 mile strip on a Friday night during the summer of '93,
or I'll Beat That B_tch With A Bat while cruising down Woodward through
Highland Park heading downtown... There IS an essence of certain forms of
music that have a had to be there component to fully understand it, but
not being a part of that doesn't mean one cannot enjoy the music. I'm sure
there's a lot of Reggae that I simply won't get because I was not a part of
the struggles of living in Jamaica's slums, but I still enjoy it anyways.

I agree with Thor--every listener brings their own interpretation to a piece
of music. Even the artist might not be able to explain why they created it.

I don't think you have to be from Jamaica to appreciate reggae or be from
New Orleans to appreciate jazz. These scenes all started local and then
gained a wider audience overseas. In fact, I have no doubt European tastes
shaped the sound of techno to some extent. If a record with a certain sound
sold well in Europe, of course Detroit producers would create other tracks
in that style. 

In any case, I personally think that if you are dancing to it, then you get
it.

 I don't think you can understand the SOCIO-POLITICS behind it without 
 at least living there for a few years, if not being from there.
 
 But that only has as much meaning as you choose to attach to it.

Oh, and Andrew there was a LOT of headroom on that mix, so I jacked up the
volume, without messing with the dynamics.

One thing that DJs who aren't dyed in the wool studio rats don't do is a bit
of after the fact mastering.  I don't believe in messing with the sound
much,as you're playing other people's productions which have been mixed and
mastered to their satisfaction already.  But it never hurts to get things
pushed up to normal commercial volume levels.

A gift to the world is the W1 limiter.  This is a 'brick wall'
lookahead limiter.   You just look at your waveform and pull down the
threshold so it cuts a few DB off your biggest peaks.  Most of the time it
will be completely transparent, and just raise the average level so you
don't have to max out the volume to hear it on the subway.

It's also a great plug-in to drop on drum tracks to get them embiggened.

Not that this is really the place to discuss VST plugins but...

Waves plugins are quite expensive and (I would argue) a real pain to use
because of their copy protection.  The W1 limiter is a carefully coded clone
of the Waves L1 Limiter, and it's free.

30 minutes into it and it's nice so far. I dig this kinda stuff a lot. 

will have to convert to mp3 tho for on the go listening tho. My little Sansa
C240 mp3 player that ran Rockbox died recently and I don't see FLAC support
with my new Android phone (though I'm sure it's out there and I'm just being
