Do you groove in trance?
Share yor techniques.
With loop material I record many repetitions in one take, then choose the best one.
Technically (in Live)
-set the quantize to the same number of bars as the loop
start playback
click on the loop marker
after one or two takes of one loop press right cursor to move to another loop (Live skips to another loop in the middle of playback, without interrupting the sound!)
remember the best takes and later just choose one or, better, more for slight variations.
in longer parts, if the notes vary while the rhithmic pattern is the same (evolving arps), I export the whole part and, separately, the best midi bar to cubase and create a groove from the best and imprint it on the whole part.

One thing that i like a lot is using slightly different groove-quantize settings for different parts in a track. Taking it easy with the amount of groove-quantize also helps.

Well, i will say, go with the flow.There are times when you can actually get into groove while producing.
or
Take a Marijuana Tea before producing.It doesnt hurt:-)

MJ Tea is not taken as a smoke.It is baisaclly taken as a liquid.Now, i am not promoting drugs.Excess of everything is bad but MJ tea is actually good for heart.Our sences do actually get stimulated and can help concentrating.More about it can be read here:-

But again its not a "drug" promotion.You know what I mean.

Okay. So unlike bass, lead, monitors, eq (is there eq mother yet?), groove is a Mystery.

It helps to fiddle around with the quantize grid though, by turning it off now and then and getting some notes in there which are slightly before or after the beat. Look at the timing of some 'groovy' breakbeats and you'll see what i mean.

yaahh! I agree with you booby!
fine outbeat manipulation can generate groove..
but, a Eq automation too, just a good harmony too, panning...etc...
I´m talking for make groove you can use many methods of sound manipulation...don´t have limits..
Is like percussion, You can get a amazing sound from your garage door, or maybe from your sister hair...imputing a fx..
i think to make groove, you need a knowledge in rythims...
This join in another question...what is groove?
Is a good discussion...

I know what groove is.
Groove is the wave-like continuous anomaly in otherwise straight rhythm.
What do you think? |

And what it does.
Straight rhythm creates a scaffolding. Without groove, rhtyhm is edgy in its nature.
Groove adds oval character.
Straight rhythm is static.
Groove animates.
