Techniques that everyone loves but meh you out?

I know this seems obvious, but it has just allowed me to enjoy what alocholics refer to as a moment of clarity.

Fuck snares.

Many thanks.

Yep and exactly for that reason, when I had a Rytm, the Snare voice was used for synth hooks. And it never felt limited.

This is gonna change my life mate.

No more pissing about with snares.
Iā€™m genuinely amazed this never crossed my mind before.

Very few sweet spots on the Rytm when it comes to snares anyway. You were ahead of your time!

I totally agree! Everything above 20% resonance is pure torture!

Welcome to the resistance!
Yea I love how the omission of a snare gives you a few BPM in perceived tempo.
Compare this snare-less 128bpm tune to this snareā€™d up 131bpm tune

Which one is moving more?

(also, sorry about the risers, it was 10 years ago, lol)

Yes! First thing I do whenever loading the Bitwig filter. Get rid of that shitty 50% resonance setting :slight_smile:

Just thinking about all that extra sonic space I can play withā€¦

Itā€™s making my willy tingle.

The inverse is trueā€¦ save the snares for when you have to hold a tempo but wish to slow down the groove without dropping the BPM.
And maybe use a clap instead :wink:

I imagine you know this but Footwork comes directly out of the Chicago dance style - IMO the music doesnā€™t make a lot of sense outside of that context (but is pretty incredible within it). A friend of mine hosted some Jit vs. Juke battles here in Detroit (and I think one in Chicago) and seeing people dance footwork was like a light going on - ā€œOh, this is why this music is this way.ā€ The music is in service to the dance form, not the other way around, whereas Detroit Jit can really be done to anything as long as itā€™s fast enough.
