overused techniques

[Miromiric]

actually young reeko already did that for some of his future releases.

[jake]

yes its been done its called the speedy j remix of ignition key

[eyes without a face]

it was done years ago

its called Nude Photo

[Basil Rush]

It's ****ed up this problem.

Do you try and stick within the genre or do you try and expand the genre.

If you expand too far you risk writing music that's got a niche audience of one, but if you stick solidly within the genre you'd better be producing a quality piece of work, particularly with an established sound like techno otherwise what's the point in writing it.

And it's always tempting to write for the more rocking / hard end of any genre for me for some reason ....

pretty confident i've just managed to wibble and make no sense at all, but i've written it now so i'm gonna click submit and see what happens.

Nude Photo does what? The kick comes in right near the start on that track.

I reckon you must be thinking of another May track like the Beginning maybe, or Icon.

:?:

[dirty_bass]

I think the use of ambient textures in replacement of programming is a little overused in the dark techno sound.

HI THERE!

IT LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE MAKING TECHNO!

WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO:

[ ] REVERSE THE LAST HALF OF EVERY 64TH BAR?

[ ] ADD A DISTORTED VOCAL SAMPLE?

[ ] COMPRESS A DISTORTED NOISE LOOP?

[ ] **** OFF YOU STUPID PAPERCLIP?

hmmm weird?? i dont own a copy of Nude Photo but in my mp3 version the kick doesnt come in until 3.26 mins!

the title of it is simply Derrick May - Nude Photo, but it maybe a remix perhaps?

strange

Trust you to know... ;)

[eyes without a face]

ahh rite thats the one

wikid track none the less!

[Sam_Horam]

I reckon I know where the confusion arises from after a bit of digging...

There is a load of derrick may mp3s knocking around over peer 2 peer programs of tracks from the innovator double cd thing which have been labelled incorrectly.

I had a quick listen to my cd with the Beginning on and the kick comes in right at the point you mention.

On the mp3s knocking about The Beginning has been labelled as Nude Photo. Nude Photo was labelled as Salsa Life. Salsa Life was labelled as More Phantom, and so on.

Scott, if you've got a bunch of those mp3s those are the right track titles, for those mp3s at least.

;)

Mystery solved....

(I reckon)

[eyes without a face]

ahhh nice one, confusion over!!!! haha

cheers Sam, job well done!

[acidchild]

acid techno tends to rely too much on the 303,

?? If it didn't have a 303 (or a suitable clone), it wouldn't be Acid. ;)

I know some people argue that Acid can be made with anything, but i disagree with that. I've been noticing a trend of using more drum loops as oppossed to more synth sounds in Techno lately. I wanna hear more evil synth sounds=o]

[Komplex]

Didn't realise the kick coming in at 3 minutes was done so many times already.

I better listen to more of other people music hehe.



I think the wrongly detuned sort of synths have also been WAY over used.

[audioinjection]

funny how ppl talk about overused techniques but we all use them :lol:

[tracatak]

[DJZeMig_L]

Okie ... I'll just post one of the more dreadfull overused technics ... :
