Who still digs?

[JPeg]

Any loop diggers on here? perhaps Fade can set up a crate digger forum, so peeps who wanna talk records can do so.

[orpheus]

dig dig dig. i love finding ill shit to sample. when you hear something and go "holy shit, that's gonna be an ILL beat right there." i love that shit

[The-Shadow]

Digging will never die. I had to rebuild my collection after most of my vinyl got lost while I was moving a few years back. I got about 500 records and climbing. Get Sinatra and Tony Bennett records lots of nice rich samples.

[berserk]

yep... got a healthy crate...

[Freakwncy]

U Know Me>>>>> Always Next To The Crates....

[Shonsteez]

Nows a good time to bring this old puppy back, besides it never got that much attention and it fits perfect with this thread - and yes. Of course i still dig.:)

[spin]

i dig a lot also... and my favorite records are foreign records :) i have stuff sampled from records from ukraine records etc...

[x-squizet]

I am going to be diggin once i get my asr so you got any tips on diggin for a newbi

[juzblazwun]

I got a few crates. Lost most of my early Hip Hop when I stopped DJing for a while. Let my homie use some of creates and he let some of his homies use the records until they can't be found. But we'z on da rebuild! Keeping till the casket drops!

[Equality 7-2521]

i dig but not for loops.

[DJ Excellence]

I used to dig everyday , but now working full-time it's a bit difficult... :(

[ron herman]

yeah I dig man, but its getting harder to find records the cheap way. Im having to buy more and more now. I hit up people all the time like " A you got any old records layin around I will take em." I found a new resource now and have been hittin that up on the regular.

[bigdmakintrax]

I dig all the time I have nice stash of Volt and Philly Soul records, 45's and LP's, but you know with a 9-5 actually more like a 6-7 LOL its hard to do that and make hott stuff and get a good concept together....

[JPeg]

So do u think we need a crate digger forum?, cos the amount of posts i see here talking how "sampling aint creative" or "its just a loop" or "anyone can do that" .

you get peeps on here thinking they are extra special cos the use some techno presets in there keyboard to make all there beats its funny/crazy.

so im thinking it would be nice to have a section where peeps could just talk records.

[Fade]

We would only have a section for digging if it was in high demand. Right now I don't see that. I'm sure there's a lot of members here that dig, but for example, if this thread had something like 100 replies the first day then yes!

I hear what you're saying though, but I don't like to add sections unless there's enough of a demand for it.

[joeburnem]

I got a shovel and a pick in my knapsack, Jack! I have found a lovely lil place outside Reading where all vinyl is ONE DOLLAR! Except imports they're 3! I love it! I love it! YEE TEE DEEEE!

[x-squizet]

you lucky dog all vinyl one dollar is it some good vinyl or is it like some crap or ok shit

[joeburnem]

some shit some good stuff
1buck to 2.50
they had some hard to find shit in there for abouut 25 bucks per lp

[gram green]

yo you gots to hit the estate sales if they got them in your area... my friend just took me to some... i got like 6 milkcrates full of shit for 40$ at the last one i went to..

[JPeg]

Yeah I need to start buying some stuff in bulk, but im just concerned about the amount of junk lps ill end up with cos my taste has become very particular.

[StraDivaRius]

yeah that would be nice man!

Whats this?

"STILL" digs?

These TRITON kids get a synth pad and think their creative. Son i can do a two finger melody that will stick in your head quicker than you can load up your drums, sure it's more like your building it from the ground up, but lemee see you take ya two finger expertiese and stick em in a room fulla crates for three hours. see if it helps you then.

ain't nothing nicer than some dusty drums

[Formant024]

unofrtunately, a lotta hiphop is like that these days, but not all the producers here are like that.

[ed_sizzahanz]

Yo, I'm all for the DITC forum. If you start one, you'd be amazed by the peeps that'll hit it up

[Sucio]

me n nomics dig thru about 700+ (and counting) records.....

the stuff we find in there is absolutely crazy....

a lot of times we just look at the cover n just be like "i know this is gon be a good one"

cant go wrong w/jesus
jesus christ superstar...that is...



750 vinyl for 90 bucks.......and they are all crisp....no scratches...no dust....

some havent even been opened yet

90% of them are basically flawless....


about 10 may have some signs of wear..but thats it...

[stabster]

I dig. Probably got about 700 records or so, although we dont have a single store selling vinyl in my town (population only 15000). Just try to get to know a lot of old people who are ready to give or sell their collection. I never loop though.

[Chrono]

I've got 2 crates. some blues and 80's hiphop. i got a lot of kids records for some tight creative tracks once i aquire the skill. i bought 7 Star Wars 1979 records for like 8 bucks, once. I still have a lot of questions before I can actually make beat that is made up from 10%-80% record sample.


btw, Staples has ill plastic crates

ok, well, let me see some of you loopers build a whole multilayered/multi instrument arrangement, play every melody yourself (sorry-no interpolating) from the ground up, and actually do some mixing, you know, the things that SOMEONE ELSE DID to produce the material you sampled.........and then take some squeaky clean preset drums and dust them up yourself..... and make something besides bassline stabs froma sine wav while your at it...

honestly i dont even feel that way, because i love sampled beats... but some of yall need to understand that its just a personal preference, but it seems like certain samplers get offended at the thought of someone using keys....the "us vs them mentality" doesnt make any sense....

[Ash Holmz]

sampling is the shiat ... i swear i would make more sample free beats if i had some sounds in my software that i had... aal the stuff i have is thin soundin.. im getting some hardware emu modules very very soon so ill be making some sample free beats.. but samplin is the shiat man.. it takes so much skill

[MarkN]

i got like 40 records arrive to day that i bought on ebay the other week, had a quick listen through them after work today but nothing strikes me as ultra dope straight off so i'll have to another dig through them some of them are unreleased label demos so they could be pretty kewl if i sample them !

[esentric]

I dig. It's hard to find usable stuff, but when you do it's all worth it.

[JPeg]

defo u just got keep going then over time u develop an ear and eye for the type of records u like.

like for the last 6months i aint been making new beats just digging cos im getting tired of the sounds i got.

[Carpe Diem]

I aint got much vinyl, but i often visit the local library, trust me, its a good resource... They got lotta rare bits u can take out, costs just £1 per cd!!! Go home, copy it, boom, whole album with some nice samples for just a quid!!!

[chewbux]

yeah carpe , thats the way to go, i take out old cd's and soundtracks and shit and just drop em onto my laptop, then i go through em for small parts i can sample...works real well.

[DJ Xsinna]

Diggin' is in my blood like it is for most of you all on here. I look for just about anything. Lately, I'm into some junk from overseas. I've copped a lot of vinyl from my grandmother (RIP), she had MADD vinyl!!! I'll probably be 50 years old still getting all moldy and having allergy attacks from cratediggin'!! I should be buried with some vinyl! LOL!

Yo Carpe, I'm liking where your head is at homie!! The library is a great and affordable resource!! I never though about looking there for music! I'll have to do that.

[Shonsteez]

Some funny shit...lol.........My school was sellin old records from the rental room that were too old to use for classes and the general public wasnt feelin em no more, so homie that ran the rental room was sellin em' for a quarter a piece...I was like, oh hell yeah, ill be buying this, this, and oh this, ......I walked out with some great jazz records and alot of marching band shit.....all for like 4 bucks...haha.

[worldcityceo]

dig dig dig. i love finding ill shit to sample. when you hear something and go "holy shit, that's gonna be an ILL beat right there." i love that shit

ditto.....

my neighbors like 40 and he likes to listen to the old records I've got sometimes....he loves it when I say "stop it there...go back", save the loop...then do it again in like the next 5 min.

[worldcityceo]

I got a shovel and a pick in my knapsack, Jack! I have found a lovely lil place outside Reading where all vinyl is ONE DOLLAR! Except imports they're 3! I love it! I love it! YEE TEE DEEEE!
