Production techniques from other genres.

Hi,

Does anyone watch vids or read articles about production in other genres?

I'm sure theres shit hot techniques from dubstep, glitch or trance that could be applied to techno?

Anything goes, I know. However I feel a bit lost branching out. I don't know much about other genres, or the language of how their noise is best described. So unsurprisingly, I don't know what I should be looking for.

Does anyone have some pointers or links to interesting stuff? I'd like to broaden my horizons. Even a discussion about other areas of production would be quite interesting.

My advice, buy 'Computer Music' magazine. Loads of different genres covered in their vids on the free DVD each month.

Buying Computer Music is fine and all.. but I see where Dirk is coming from here.

I registered on the dubstep forums and there is some quality stuff there, but you have to dig for it now as they are all fighting amongst themselves over the "true" direction of dubstep. Shame really, cos it was a decent enough place.

I'll try and think of other stuff that I've seen, but I got some useful ideas watching this guys videos. You can see the potential for using other elements instead of beats for this one.

This is a cool one too. Guy knows his shit.

Heres a good example of using something for another purpose, like maybe you were asking for. The guy here uses the arp in live to increase the rate from 16 to 128 on the hats. Its a good result out of a very simple method. You would never program this type of stuff my hand. This is the type of shit you want to find out I guess.

@Wiu - Appreciate it Man. I do get FM, CM, SOS and sometimes Music Tech. They are all a bit lite on technique at times. I do read them and have a tinker as I do.. but I was hoping to prompt some discussion on production techniques from other genres. Totally agree though, they're a good resource.

@Zero - Nice one Dude. Some nice stuff there I can see already. I've been on the DSF too.. but I guess its hard to know what to search for when you dont know what they call stuff. Will give them another visit for sure.

For some Drum and Bass the forums over on Dogs on Acid are good if you have the stamina to wade through the vast amount of cock waving that goes on over there.

I don't like dub step ))) I know its a lot good produce stuff in this. i just cant listen it more then 10 min. Techno my choice.

Sometimes i try to make light DnB music. Its fun ))

well if it comes to fat mixed lowend and proper filth and dirt and nicely eq'ed stuff and parallel compression and bus-processing and all the stuff that make things glue together... then one should find freedom in studying oldkool hiphop techniques

Sorry chaps, I've been away for a couple of days. Thanks for all the replies. Those noisepages blog videos look fantastic.

@Sam - I forgot about DOA. Thanks man. Will have a looky.

@mad - Cool links. Good idea with organising them. I should probably get a single folder for production links.

@ste - Hip Hop with the 808 subs. Good idea!

Does anyone here make different genres of music and find sounds or techniques fit well from each, even though they are different?

Yes i made a Jazz song with a little Hiphopish in it but i usually make electronic music, i this at least two time a year: go in another genre and let it flow. Its always very interesting to see what comes out. And i always can take a lot of inspiration from it.
Jazz has and had a big influence on House music this hole shuffle thing is coming from jazz..

thats what came out by my jazz jam

this guy is always interesting. you can see how you just need to slam stuff into a sampler and make a rhythm with it. its a lot simpler than it sounds in the finished product
