Is the bass supposed to mirror the drums?

As in if I quantise my drum track to 16b in logic, then do I quantise my bass to 16b?

Also I find that if I quantise my drums to 16b and then try a quantisation of say 16c/16d for the percussion, it sound messy and stilted!

Is every thing supposed to be on the same swing or not?

Errata, I 'll look forward to hearing that mate. :-)

Xoxos, if you re-arrange and re-jig the word ACID, you get A DIC. :-)

Influx, sorry but I only have enough skills to make house. Sorry for being boring. I don't pretend to have the talent to make raw songs, broken beat, nu skool breaks or funk. :-)

xoxos on algebra... scene it in a few of the forums these past 48 hours. Much fun that, xoxos!

As I've said before... I'm a lazy bastard! Damn, sound forge only does MP3 at 64... still too high for good ol' DT... edited the track down to 3 and a half minutes, still too big for DT!

I will, when I get home, post a "snippet" over the weekend!

my apologies.

Yeah, house does pretty much stay i the 120's and most people like it in the upper 20's so give and take afe BPM 128 sounds right!

House is an art! It CAN be easy to do passable music when it's different and strange. But a great house track has to be dependable, simply and completely FANTASTIC... takes skills...

This is some pretty harsh pidgeonholing for a such a wide genre.

"House is an art! It CAN be easy to do passable music when it's different and strange. But a great house track has to be dependable, simply and completely FANTASTIC... takes skills... "

And that's only for house, yea. How about pop? Is pop art?

I don't know if I agree. Aside from the tempo, it's hard to put a finger on what house is. There's a VAST library of reading on this site alone about genre stereotyping, and I'm not a fan of it... but I'm not a big fan of nouns at all... I still use them for communication. 128 does sound nice for house music (Obviously an opinion statement)... and when you go faster you start getting pretty "trancy"... it's all subjective...

Did I say anything about my comment being exclusive to house? We were talking about house so i made a comment about house... in contrast to strange, experimental music (which I think there's a mighty profusion of that is mediocre)... I think House is POP. And the same goes. I have a tremendous amount of respect for people that can make GOOD pop music... Paul Simon comes to mind... not always very clever and artistic but just DAMNED fine tunes!

Hmmm... Mozart, for that matter! Hehehe

PS: Thanks for picking my post apart. I'm always feel special when people pay me so much attention.
