Jazzmammal Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Pure coincidence, I'm on another forum and the subject is 4 producers working with samples from the same song producing 4 completely different results. Here it is: [video:youtube] I'm not trying to preach here because this stuff certainly is not my thing either it's just that these kids in this video could be any one of us here's children or in my case grandchildren. Check out the last two producers. They both wanted some keyboards so they just casually turned to their controllers with both hands and laid down some stuff. They're players, real musicians, you can tell in five seconds they know their way around the keys. I really dig the energy going on here, how much they love this stuff, how much they respect each other. It's fun to watch even though I have no clue at all what to do if I were to attempt something like this. Also I noticed almost 3 million views for part 2 of this.

Outkaster Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Bob they aren't musicians. It's not the same as struggling in the trenches, sweating it out and trying to learn and instrument your whole life. That said I understand your points but I don't respect them. Quote "Danny, ci manchi a tutti. La E-Street Band non e' la stessa senza di te.

MAJUSCULE Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 The trenches just don't exist the same way, though, Jason. If I was growing up in the 70s or 80s I'd have played easily four or five times as many gigs as I have by now. And I've hustled for the gigs that I have gotten.

This is key -- it's just not the same world out there anymore. Which has both good and bad aspects to it. But there's no point comparing today to 40 years ago; there aren't as many gigs, there's far more competition for what gigs there are, and few pay anything worthwhile. I figure I've actually come out ahead by not gigging this past year. That doesn't mean I won't play any more gigs -- it just means I have no expectation of it as a job, unless I want to get with the union for theatrical pit work (I don't), or be around drunken gamblers at the casinos (ditto). I'm not slagging those jobs -- the musicians who do them are awesome -- but I don't fit in either place, so that's that. Quote It's not the gear, it's the player ... but hey, look -- new gear!
