Custom Snapbacks?

[Shayper]

How do you not understand it's not about jealousy. I'm sorry but assuming that is just ridiculous.

My opinion of it is no different to that i have towards various (mainly ex) members of the forum who post(ed) 900 times a day about every single thing they did, derailing threads into the same topic over and over and just generally being tedious. I get you want to be proud of achievements, so do i, and i do share them in their respective threads. But to put it basically, everyone has got the picture with what it is you do, we don't need reminding 10 times a day

I didn't say it was about jealousy, you are just assuming that

I neither post 900 times a day (I think I actually have less posts per day than you!) nor derail threads. I actually try to be as helpful as possible, and put a fair bit of effort into that, as you'll see if you read my watercooling guide.

I honestly don't try to offend anyone, but if offense is taken from my posts, I apologise.

 

[Shayper]

Oh come on stop going back on yourself please...



Who both said it was jealousy..


Yes you probably do, i post a lot of crap (And the odd bit of useful advice in SA but that goes without saying). But i don't constantly remind people of what it is i'm doing which is what the majority of people here are getting at. E.g why was it necessary to include this in the OP "I've just been booked in to play a set on the 17th. As a few of you know, I've just been signed to Hellsing Divide" If you'd just posted "Where can i buy a custom snapback?" half the **** would have been avoided. Jus' sayin'... Keep doing what you're doing by all means, but a lot of posts clearly get on your nerves, mine included, i'm just giving my opinion on how to avoid that.

Anyway i've got to go hit the gym and lift some weights and admire myself in the mirror

Your posts don't get on my nerves at all I can sort of see where you are coming from. However I disagree. Whatever the situation, I and many others try to give as much background info on a situation, to make it easier to find a solution, whether it be relationship advice, speccing a gaming PC, issues with software or even speccing custom snap backs. I'm honestly not trying to show off in this case, I was just applying the same reasoning

And go lift those weights haha

 

[Shayper]

Snapback? Sounds like when firing a rubber band at someone goes wrong, IMO.

Never heard that before.

Ever heard of the banjo string?

Apply the same principle, hey presto, snap back!

 

[Shayper]

Shayper which label signed you again? I don't think I managed to gather it when reading through the thread.

I don't know if you've heard this before, but who are you?

 

[Shayper]

I'm the guy with 109 posts named ACEOWNER.

Nice to meet you

do you even lift brah?

Nope

More like SnapAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARH!

It's not pleasant

 

[Shayper]

He lifts rooms of people with his music.

 

[Shayper]

Like the first, any examples of core?

Poisound have a lot of great tracks.

Check out Adapted Records as well, their artists are fantastic

I couldn't be bothered reading pages and pages of bickering so if the question has been answered or these sites already posted I apologise:

Hopefully one of those are of any good to you.

Thanks a lot! I'll take a look

 

[Shayper]

Just to keep off topic, my 2 cents worth:

You do pretty much take every opportunity to mention your DJing, e.g.



Do you see the difference? FWIW I don't have a problem with your posts at all, and yeah, be proud of your achievements by all means. But you do do what Fluttershy said, a lot. And not even to provide background etc, sometimes it just doesn't seem necessary. Just being objective

Now, back on topic!

I do get what you are saying to be fair

I don't realise I'm doing it half the time, just seems that every experience I have had recently has been to do with music

If you are going to wear one, don't overkill the image by wearing out 'loud' clothes.

Haha, not planning to

 

[Shayper]

You should get a load of business cards printed with UV ink instead. They'll be much cheaper.

When you're doing your set you could wait for a "drop" (or whatever it is you disc-jockeys get up to these days) and when the music kicks back in you could throw them in to the crowd (remember to trim the sharp edges).

Essentially you should try to recreate to intro to Blade, but with UV business cards instead of blood.

To be fair, Hazard chucks CDs into the crowd during his sets, it's a good marketing tool

 

[Shayper]

Every time i go to an invent and see the usual idiots wearing snapbacks & vests or topless I am always disgusted at the idiots my scene now attracts.

Just saying



Yes stereotypes.

Haha, it does seem to be a general theme

However this is marketing, I never ever wear snapbacks

Genuinely laughing at the amount of abuse shayper is getting for asking about getting a snapback made...

I'd rather read this than more than "Spec me a toilet roll holder" or "Hi, I'm kwerk, here is another completely nonsense thread but I'm back from my ban! Time to post drivel"

Give the guys at http://bluebirdpressstudios.tumblr.com/ an email, they might be able to put you in touch with somebody

Haha, thanks mate

 

[Shayper]

Well, I suppose you would be marketing to your audience.

i.e the kind of people who wear snapbacks, aka douchbags.

What I'm trying to say is your audience are dribbling tards.



Not to say your music is bad, I had a listen and considering I'm not a fan of your chooses genre, I can at least say it doesn't suck as bad as most of the dross I hear.

I actually think there's a compliment in there

And after being to fabric, I can safely say that a lot of the audience will indeed be dribbling tards

 

[Shayper]

So your saying anyone that takes a liking to drum and bass or any music that shayper plays of creates is a dribbling tard?

I'm managing to post this without leaving a puddle of drool on my laptop..

To be fair, most of the audience are dribbling tards in fabric/cable

But you are right, perfectly normal people like drum and bass, Janesy B for ex... oh wait, that's not right

 

[Shayper]

Many years ago, I used to DJ at a local rock/metal club. Two hours on a Friday night and the same on a Saturday night. It wasn't that difficult.

Different scene, different style

Rock DJing is generally a case of fading in, fading out. With EDM, you need to be doing a whole lot more. Beatmatching, pitch bend riding, crossfade chopping, double dropping, bass switching, and use a load of effects, like filter and EQ kills to get it just right.

Using autosync, as I used to and unfortunately as quite a few DJs do these days, takes a lot of the skill out of it. True DJing is hard work, you are constantly adjusting stuff, reading the crowd, making sure the next mix is absolutely perfect to get them going

What equipment did you use?

 

[Shayper]

No, hes saying the type of people who wear snapbacks to raves are usually the idiots who go around with their tops off, barging through the crowd starting trouble, and it's true.

Wrong raves.

At the ones I go to, everyone is too loved up to do that, all they want is music

Stuff like Chase and Status just attracts ****s. Something like Hazard, Original Sin, and most club nights from lesser known imprints (Playaz, Digital Soundboy, Dub Police) are really great

 

[Shayper]

It's been that long that I don't remember the specifics, all I know is there were two Technics decks, a dual CD deck and a mixer of some variety that went out through a 10kw system.

Ah, Technics are lovely

 

[Shayper]

Put on record, play, at end chat or fade into another. Easy peasy! The hard part was judging the mood and what to play next. You could have a drink, pick up women, even dance. It was great!

Now all they do is interfere with the "music"!

Haha

Seeing a good DJ mix is half the attraction for me. It's why I love Andy C and Hazard, their mixing skills are incredible! Playing great music is just a bonus

That's why i said they are ruining the scene (im not talking about the d'n'b scene)

I go to mostly deep house/tech house/techno nights. On the whole the crowds are ok but some events, and some dj's start attracting snapback idiots now. Prime example: CircoLoco events (particularly in the UK, the ones in Ibiza aren't AS bad yet)

I went to see Sven Vath (sp?) last year at fabric. Was an absolutely incredible night, and sadly the only one of it's kind that I've been to. I need to go to more!

 

[Shayper]

I also saw him last year in fabric, was probably the same night! ( think it was last year anyway, a lot of my nights in fabric are kind of blurred together)

Either April or May last year. And yeah I know that feeling

Edit: Talking about Deep House, Gemini's new EP is stunning. Second Law is really nice

 

[Shayper]

This thread is a winner for passive-aggressive smilies!

Oh, and "Moombahcore"? How utterly ridiculous.

Good for you

Will Google translate help me understand a single word of that?

Haha

Last time I try help you out without being condescending...

I joke!

 

[Shayper]

You really don't have to end every line with a smiley.

Why not, I smile a lot irl
