wanna be dope?
Posted on: 04.10.2012 by Winter Ruggio
hello,
i have been djing/beatmaking for a long time.to all the new artists jus starting,use less effects and just shine with just a few.you dont need 20-million stutters/echos/flangers all at once.less is more.dj shadow,cut chemist babu are examples of this.study this technique and use effects like spices.trust me,the crowd will enjoy your show,the promoter will re-book you,and the other dj's in the crowd will notice you have skills.
just some advice...follow if you want,but i havent had a non dj job in 21 years.

Let me know!

not at all...if you know how to use them,go crazy.its jus the people that use them to 'hide' from true musical know-how.it all comes down to the end result,if it sounds good and people as well as your peers enjoy it,than great.again,its different for everyone.i jus feel that there are too many effects available now and people are over using them.but again,thats jus my opinion.great music is great music,and can be made with no effects or 90 effects...its the result that makes the call.i personally keep them to a minimum,but never the less do use them and like them.too much skratching some people dont like,same as too much anything.harmony of sounds...sounds in harmony.do you,do what you feel is right.explore,...discover.repeat.

04.10.2012		lol,word.i heard some of your music on souncloud.great work man.it totally shows that you have been moving dance floors for a long time.
some kats can actually use many many effects and sound great.but that is a skill born of mad practice and experience.when i first started making beats,we didnt have a trillion effects,so we worked with what we had.nowadays,in my opinion,there are just too many.
the indian food comment was super funny...extra curry lfo and cummin beat-slicer..lol.
but in all seriousness,im glad you understood my point.keep rocking,you are a natural.

04.10.2012		I don't bother to hear Dj's using effects more than ordinary, ofc as long as it make sense and suits to music style they are kicking.
