And when we're talking about studio headphones then that is what you're aiming for. Something that is representative of the "true" sound being produced from your output, with as little 'colouring' of the sound as possible. Not some massively isolating bass bin ear muffs.

yes i can't stress that enough when it comes to using headphones for audio production.

if you write with some super bassy headphones, they'll only sound the same on a pair of those same headphones.

also get a headphone amp you guys

Here's my lazy way.
First we find a break. I load it in three times, sometimes 4 depending on how many parts there are in the break. I generally refer to these as the kick snare and chka. sometimes you get a crash.

Leave the first one. That's your kick. You want it to keep playing after you leave it so everything flows nicely.


Here's the snare, all I do is chop off anything before that first snare. Again leave everything after it so it can keep playing.



Thirdly I chop off everything before the second snare which starts the "chka". Sometimes I might cut straight to the chka, but i like this better, it gives me two different snares to play with.



Finally you go and sequence it all. Chuck in some different notes but make them short, otherwise your hats will go out of time.

For bonus points play more than one break at a time or use hits from different breaks.

but then it sounds clunky! you'd have to tune it all to match the bpm, and then pitching around snares and such sounds weird.

i use individual slices of every sound, gives you much more control over loose hi hats and such

rex files are the shit

i did that with my first one. i find the safest / easiest way is to get a razor blade, use it to pull up the corners, and then use a set of pliers to slowly pull the thing off in one piece, pulling towards the board.

I've always wondered... how do you guys change the tracks? I mean, the loading time... doesn't it kill the show? I've always supposed i would use 2 gb with the same 2 .savs and play each song on each gb to avoid the silence, I'll definitely do that

2 gameboys, 2 carts, link cable. All you need. You don't even need the same sav on the cart. Like djing anything - play one track on one gb. Sync the other cart. Bring in parts of the second track on the other gb. Fade out the first one. Rinse. Repeat.

Hell, you dont even need the link cable, just takes the guess work out of it. Allows you to focus on the transition without worrying about the sync, at least in my experience.

yeah i don't do 100% gameboy sets at all, but my sets are continuous mixes, and mix the dmg to laptop by ear, all you have to do is use B+up / down on the tempo the way you would 'nudge' a record forward, to get it at the same place as the other track playing.
