a great tool or too quick and easy of a groove builder?

I think Dance tracks are becoming as dependent on it as much as sampling is to hip hop. But where as sampling dosesnt curb creativity I believe the arpeggiator sound does and will hurt Dance eventually. What do you think?
 
sounds like some kind of reptile!..LOL
 
hahahaha soul just as I read your post I duplicated my midi bass track & put it thru my virus plug in on an arpeggiating preset..... I use arpeggiators all the time..... but i guess the trick is not to over use it (like anything else) 🙂
 
I hear ya but i find that most commercial and I guess that phrase commercial says it all just relies in it too much

I do? umm so when you come down fo the winter music conference, your gonna stop here and teach me? maybe what we need is an artist to make new music!..lolol😉 Hey I'll try anything once.
 
The Arpeggiator's/Arpeggios can be modified by using chords etc....... Pans, filters and fades make the difference too.
What is happening with the dance world is that they are going no further than the presets on the machines they are using to produce these tracks. No tweaking at all. So alot of tracks are sounding the same. Every now and again we get a thunderpuss 2000, Razor & Guido, Hex Hector that flips the shit out of the arpeggiators.
I think what happens with alot of these producers and remixers is that they are told by the labels/execs to keep the same cookie cutter formula then go to the next remixer/producer after the work has been criticized by reviewers for sounding the same.
I praise those white label underground and unreleased promo's. They stay that way for a reason; too ballsy and out of boundaries from the normal commercial shit out there.

Thats how I feel. When I said quick and easy you are right Dave most are not straying from the presets and I have to believe also its the label execs controlling the production. I for one have to open every plugin in and fx and tweek every bit of sound I can. My god my screen can look so ugly with all the chops and evelopes going on. so I find it hard to believe that what is out there is almost the same each and every track. Every DJ remixer producer I know loves to get open on the pots. But yet when the final approved mix comes down its the same mold as the last track.

These are the reason that makes me want to start a label. Labels with no BallZ

I want BALLLLLZZZZZZ with my music

"TOTAL KAOS RECORDS " IS YOUR ANSWER TO BALLLLZZZZZYYYYY.....
YOU WILL NOT BE DISSAPPOINTED AND IT'S A TOTALLY INDEPENDENT LABEL

THE PROBLEM WITH THESE PRODUCERS/LABELS TODAY IS SIMPLE...
THE ARTISTS OR WHOEVER IS PAYING FOR THE STUDIO TIME NEEDS TO DICTATE POLICY BECAUSE THE STUDIO WORKS FOR THEM AND NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND UNLESS THEY HIRE YOU ....AND DON'T LET THEM SAMPLE BEATS ON YOUR TRACK....MAKE THEM CREATE FROM SCRATCH :nutz
IF IT'S A COMPILATION, NOT ONE SONG SHOULD SOUND THE SAME AND IF IT'S A PRODUCER PUTTING OUT THE TRACKS, THE SAME STILL GOES AND IF YOU HAVE THE SAME SOUND AS A PREVIOUS TRACK GO TO ANOTHER STUDIO UNTIL YOU FIND ONE THAT WORKS FOR LIVING AND TAKES IT SERIOUS..NUF SAID
