@soon_come_sound @eddiestats @wayneandwax @dancharnas Perhaps so. But that's his genius as much as Clevie has his genius or Sly or Neptune's or Dre or any successful producer with their own sound and feel. It's really just the individual with the magic, it's not in the numbers. Every man just have to search for his own methodology.

@soon_come_sound @eddiestats @wayneandwax @dancharnas Tom Tom Club. Tina Weymouth live bass. Sticky Thompson playing percussion,Tyrone Downie on keys. Reggae musicians. Mixed by Steven Stanley, Reggae mixer.Then sampled and chopped, stuff added that can't be quantized because of the live players. Not deliberate programming wizardry.

@soon_come_sound @eddiestats @wayneandwax @dancharnas Remember on early Reggae/Dancehall it was one programmed drum machine and then all the instruments played live. Wrong Move, Danny Bassy, Lenky etc. It really can't be analyzed by swing percentages or grids. It's just actual people with actual "feel".

@wayneandwax @dancharnas Well it's not like I documented it per se. I've made beats in so many different mediums, it would vary depending. Who Am I I played many parts unquantized and then just grabbed the nicest 4 bars and looped it.

@wayneandwax @dancharnas One more. Good industry friend knows the original developer of FL Studio. There's a hidden multiband style compressor/expander on the master output of the software. This is why is easy to make beats "sound" good in FL. Artists voicing on stereo bounces, track outs frowned upon.

@wayneandwax @dancharnas Perhaps @dancharnas can confirm but I think Dilla used to leave the snares straight and then swing the kick drums, or program them more losely. But the snare was the anchor 🤷🏽‍♂️

@wayneandwax @dancharnas More tricks. The stereo outputs on the MPC machines had a different op amp than the individual outs. So even though you had 8 individual outs, producers would rather spend the time to track everything in several passes rather than assigning all the individual outputs.

@wayneandwax @dancharnas I guess what I'm saying is the actual equipment would help you out a lot. Sky Dunbar is my hero but when he switched from MPC 3000 to 4000 IMHO the swing disappeared. I sold my 4000 for the same reason. You can imitate all this stuff with Logic/Ableton templates but...

@wayneandwax @dancharnas Sure. Usually on the hi hats or percussion, leave the kick straight and then make the snare hit early, not with swing but just moving the notes earlier. Then perhaps swing the bass if it's programmed. There's no rules really, it's just a matter of feel.

@wayneandwax @dancharnas @wayneandwax This is why ASR-10's are MPC 60's remained popular for a so long. Just programming in 16th notes without trying to swing anything gives it a boom bap feel. Or like a Gussie Clarke era "Rumors" riddim feel.

@wayneandwax @dancharnas @wayneandwax There's also a thing called ppq, partner quarter note. Or quantize resultion. Older machines had smaller values or divisions between notes. So had in inherent swing to it even if you didn't apply a swing value.

@wayneandwax @dancharnas @wayneandwax This was common practice with MPC drum machines in particular. On each track you would dial in a swing amount...or not. There were certian sweet spots, but it wasn't an exact science.

@MGthefuture They call me Sir as well brother. Thought the same thing, I was looking old. Then I realized it really is a mark of respect for just being around and living with your chest out, winning the battle of life.

@Redselecter You've been sharing code snippets? Kudos on the women in engineering still...😎
