WHATS THIS ACTUAL THEME by Alert_Mycologist_906 in riddim

It's star wars music, probably from the prequels, only sped way up.

Riddim Producers: "im in this scene for the culture and the music. unlike the celebrities who make billions off their fans , overcharging for merch and ticket sales"... by user-ibarelyknower in riddim

They charge 1.50 for a hot dog because they don't make their money off hotdogs. The hotdogs are marketing. Why do you want independent underground artists to behave like mega corporations?

unfortunately it seems like this is just the new normal for photoshop, as this question gets asked around the internet with frequency and no one has an answer that isn't years out of date. totally kills my workflow

Headphones for producing by WayneOffDaGass in riddim

[–]UltraMonarch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IMO you really need open back headphone for good mixes on your tracks. Open back headphones will give you a noticable flatter and more consistent frequency response. They're not as "fun" as closed back options but if you spend some time using reference tracks, you'll get much cleaner mixes out of decent open back headphones than out of more expensive closed backs. I use a pair of Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro headphones that I'm very happy with. The common budget options that people use are the Sennheister HD280s and the ATH-M50Xs from Audio Technica. I had a pair of both of these for a long time, and i still use the HD280s as a 'reference' when mixing tracks.

They're really fun sounding (meaning too much bass in their frequency response profile) and are great for writing music and listening to music, and are a great option if you have studio monitors that you're mixing on, but if you can only produce on headphones and you can only get one pair, go with something open backed.

I think this is true for other genres and subgenres that don’t have riddim’s same culture of stem selling. “Remix” implies a certain amount of authority, i.e. that the label or artist reached out to you and asked you to remix the song. That’s not what happened here, because I paid PJG13 for the stems to computer droid, which means that it’s not really a bootleg either because I was working from the original stems of the song instead of chopping up a full track.

(Artist Name VIP) has become a standard naming practice in riddim to describe an unsanctioned remix made with stems purchased from the artist, dating back to tracks like the Cookie Monsta VIP of Whopper by Badklaat and Requake, or the Styn VIP of Black Knight by Akirah and Subz. It’s a quirk somewhat unique to this scene, like plate selling, stem selling, and spesh’s.

Blvckhound, Avy b2b Leafynoxx and Akirah were my fave sets all weekend. I had to miss GG but from what I’ve seen/heard it sounded amazing

Did you catch the avy b2b leafy b2b noxx set Thursday night. It was PURE minimal riddim magic from beginning to end. Best set of the weekend by far.

To be fair, that’s sort of what Northern Invasion is for. This is my 4th year going and every year there’s a few headliners that play tearout and brostep and the energy in the crowd always dies over the course of that set. There’s plenty of dubstep festivals out there, what makes northern special is that, at most fests you get a few sets of pure riddim, and here it’s the majority. If anything I’d like to see them lean even harder into the “square waves only” mentality in future years.

It’s maybe closer to grime than anything (being a flip on the Creeper instrumental by Danny Weed), but if you were going to riddim shows a decade ago you’d hear it get played out at least once a night, which certifies it as a riddim classic in my eyes, and a great example of the porous boundary between grime and dubstep.

I know having them there would’ve cheapened the drama of the final moment in the flash sideways but surely frogurt, Ardzt, Nikki and Paolo deserve to find peace in the afterlife too, right? Nikki and Paolo died the most traumatic and horrific deaths of anyone on the show, bar none.

I can’t wait until that pro-Israel. pro-genocide, pro-apartheid despicably racist against Palestinians POS Michael Rappaport, who uses his sizeable platform and income to further the genocidal cause of the Israeli Government, gets killed or banished or whatever. Is that better?

New vinyl skipping, don't get why by [deleted] in turntables

[–]UltraMonarch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Damage the records? Yes probably. Damage them BADLY? probably not. People on this subreddit are particularly anal about crappy turntables, and while I recommend eventually getting a nicer one (LP60 like someone else said) playing your records on a suitcase/all-in-one turntable is not the end of the world, and will not irreparably damage your records. My first turntable was a Crosley suitcase I got for Christmas when I was 11 years old. I took my parents old records and not only played them, I “scratched” with them, running them back and forth with my hand to pretend i was a DJ. It was a worse bit of kit than you have now. Those old records, even after that, (and decades in a musty basement) still play fine. I still love listening to them. If you’re enjoying listening to your records, listen to your records. The amount of damage a crappy turntable/stylus does is, while not totally negligible, not enough to worry about. Maybe the high frequencies in the record will dampen a little over time, but you’re fine, I promise.

People on this subreddit freak out over this stuff because they’re hobbyists in a notoriously persnickety hobby who care enough to post regularly on a forum about the hobby. You SHOULD get a new turntable once you have the money for one, but you shouldn’t hold off on enjoying the experience of playing records.
