Optimum Techno Speed

[prozac]

I I think anyone who has settled on one exact bpm from which they'll never change, needs to ask themself some questions.

agreed

[RDR]

It is a boring internet topic though. some people like it fast, some like it slow. It's up to the DJ and producers to play / make the techno they like at the speed they like and if others take a shine to it then so be it.

next you'll be asking what key people prefer their percussion in or whats the optimum number of high hats per bar ;)

It was a PRODUCTION question (thats my belief anyway) and such deserved a decent answer. Mostly thats what it got...

And as for we are all brothers of techno quip - in your dreams mate. We are NOT all brothers of techno and this is what gets my goat. People pretend to be yet are not, the attitude stinks. And YES my attitude DOES stink TOO. im man anough to admit that and man enough to qualify my comments.

After speaking to a close friend last night i realise i may have misjudged rowland personally and for that i sincerely apologise, i also apologise for effectively hijacking a thread with my rants. Sorry.

I stand by what i said about the response from rowland though, not the personal comments - but the negativity that smells. And why not take the thread seriously? It was a serious thread asked by someone who wanted to know.

If anyone wants my advice (i suspect you dont ) i can be contacted via PMs, i've already done enough damage here and wont be taking part much in BOA activities generally in the near future.. and no i dont want people to say "Dont leave" it isnt one of 'those' pathetic threads begging for attention, i genuinley have commitments elsewhere that are sapping my time...

Have a nice day.

PS - TFI friday... :briggin:

@Sunil's comment about being stuck to a tempo


That doesnt include me mate - i gave my answers because someone asked, those are calculations i wrote C++ programs to achieve and work for the key's stated, mostly i dont use them because of sequencer issues but occasionally i do.

The figures i quoted and keys mean that the bass waves in those keys sit exactly on the quantise grid and the compression/refraction waves pump in time to the music thereby increasing the efficeincy of the waveform.

MOstly, like you said.. its whatever works.

I really don't get you're point here. You trying to say that some of us listen to techno, DJ and/or produce techno, go to techno clubs and chat on techno forums yet do not like techno?

Or that you get so overly absorbed in your self need to be anal about the niche of techno you preach, that you've forgotten how to enjoy the music, the people and the scene?

Jaysus, did everyone simultaneously quit smoking or something?

Everybody taken up meth? Hopped up on 'roids? (Ste-, not haemor-)

Grown men ready to kick off over.... tempo.

It's obviously a very sensitive subject. Like women’s periods and intelligent design.

Err. no mate. I meant brotherhood - something you clearly know NOTHING about. i said me contribution is over and it is.

[MangaFish]

If you dont know what im saying by now then you'll never ****ing know will you.

READ what i wrote.

And no people are BITCHY and people ARE negative no matter what you think, attending an event or listening to a genre doesnt make people all the same, no matter what they say.

Ahh. Whatever man.

Follow your own goddamn path.

Jesus man, take some morphine or something. Instead of fighting fire with fire, why not try laughing off the bitchy comments?

Presumptions are the mother of all f*ck ups. ;-) I suggest next time you make your point clearer rather than resorting to childish retorts (something you have whinged about in this thread yet seem to be guilty of more so than most.)

I admit i don't always understand peoples point's 1st time. I try to but i have a problem following text (being dyslexic and all). Plus you've got people on here who English isn't their 1st language so they maybe slower to pick up on your points as well.
If this happens then take a deep breath and reiterate your point.
It maybe a chore, but it results in less heated posts about the state of peoples attitudes and ultimately less stress for yourself when people respond negatively to your bitching ;-)

Anyhow, It's Friday and i get to spend the whole weekend with my gorgeous girlfriend (long distance relationship) so i don't intend to let a silly thread like this get me down :D

[dan the acid man]

Bloomin eck, lets sum this post up.

It was started as a joke, some people carried on the joke, some people responded in a serious manner, both types of responses have been great, and this thread has been one of the few around here that's got people replying.
For the people that produce, forums like this are great for expanding our knowledge in the science of music production, and even a thread that was started as a joke can turn provide usefull info.

so lets stop the arguments before it gets too personal, as it's no use to any of us.

As for the brotherhood comment, i understood where dodgyedgy was coming from, but it's easy to pick up the wrong end of the stick.
