"Everything I was using I bought on my own."
So don't call him spoiled. Gnarly be grindin'.
Incidentally Zirc, do you make and/or upload music?

He has a later video demoing an OP-1, which isn't insanely expensive but definitely isn't cheap either.

I've recorded a lot of stuff over the years, but I don't have much uploaded other than some things I did this spring that are kind of an early attempt at making music that sounds like mid 90s cable TV soundtracks. I usually play in bands so this is a pretty big departure and I can't make any claims to its actually being all that good, but it's a start.

To be fair, he's very upfront about it not being good so he gets some credit for that. He also says he's "much better now" so I found his bandcamp site and he's right, his other beats are a lot better than this. Nothing amazing but if he's only been doing it for two years then more power to him for working on his goals.

Yeah, I'm not really hating on this guy, it's just funny and also totally unnecessary that he left it up after he got better.

You can tell that when he first made an posted it he thought it was the shit, though.

(and it's not like I'm some kind of master beatmaker by any stretch of the imagination, of course.)

So on a related note, what's this crowdsource project you mentioned before, OZ? Is it musical in nature?

Old_Zircon - 2014-07-27

Not crowdsourced, something I'm starting to plan with a couple friends locally, but there might be a place for stuff gathered from people online, I won't know until we figure it out a bit more.

Yes that was vague, and yes that's all I'm saying for now.

Almost every single piece of electronic music equipment for the last 20 years or so has had a quantize function. Use it.

Old_Zircon - 2014-07-27

If you quantize you lose all your MPC-forum cred.

Old_Zircon - 2014-07-27

Dilla didn't quantize.
