Fung45 wrote:I'm not hating. I was using sarcasm to point out the humor in your thinking the more experience/higher skill level you are, the more on beat you will play. Ever heard of a break beat? Ever heard Miles Davis play the Trumpet or Thelonius Monk on the keys? What about Idris Muhammed on drums? **** is not restricted to 16th or even 32nd notes! Your myspace says you dig for records, so I hope you would know these basic names, as well as actually listening to some of them once in a while. Also don't come at me with that REAL MUSICIAN **** I've played piano since I was 6. So what. After that much time with the instrument, anything I can't play just lets me know I need to practice more. If you can only play on beat you need to practice more. Turn quantize off. Use swing. I think I already said that a few pages back.</thread>

Let me know what you think. I appreciate it, thanks.

u gotta have it in u and develop it from within feel the music and u will tap out the drums that breath with the right kind of swing.
again i put this question down to nerdism in production dudes trya apply scientific equations to music thats why alot repetitive robotic **** is being made dudes aint got no soul in they music.
Wikipedia wrote:Swing ratios tend to get wider at slower tempos and narrower at faster tempos. Miles Davis varied his swing ratios, frequently delaying the first note of each pair of eighth notes by some milliseconds and then synchronized the second eighth note with the drummer's swing eighths being played on the cymbal. Advanced performers often lay back or play behind the beat when performing jazz melodies by delaying the rhythms by milliseconds.

Get the **** outta here if you can't answer my question. Jealous hater talking **** about peoples' souls and creative sides, what's up with that?
If you want to ignore what's really going on, fine, I don't give a ****. But if you want to beat the masters and take things to the next level, you gotta dig beneath the surface. Knowledge is power and the devil is in the details.
**** you.
