ogie - the drum'n'bass project


Yo! This is a page to go by my choons ... just some info for you to read!

Firstly a big *THANKS* to DeGinge ... he's the cool boy who provided me some space on the Net for my choons & this page which yer looking at now.
Secondly, go to LoKnet... the boys which were one more motivation for me to delve deeper into tracking...

Now, after you have done that, we can go on with me :)

well, playing arround with trackers for arround 1 1/2 years now and actually making something for the last 2-3 months, experiencing .MODs since the PC Speaker and the D/A conv. on the LPT, i've got a few words for the boys/gals hanging arround in the tracker...
you don't necesserily need music experience, BUT getting some is *very* useful.
sort yer samples. sample a lot. kill bad samples. rework the samples in some sample editor. get new samples. avoid ripping samples. make samples.
listen to your beats. look for whats wrong in them... make slight, progressive changes in them... they might not be noticing at 1st sight, but if they build up, it's to your advantage.
try making slow beats at 1st and then speeding them up... i didn't really know (or rather experience), but the hip-hop beats, when speeded up *DO* make quite good drum'n'bass ;)
read a lot. listen a lot... (don't) leech a lot :)
support the scene. e-mail people :) especially me hehehe. you'll be surprised how much it counts.

made it this far ? great !
you can grab my artwork now, listen to it... and i promise i'll soon update this page... (that is if deginge lets me do it ;) )
