Probably the best thing I've done for my production in a long time is starting crate digging and basically sampling anything and everything I can, and ever since I've been able to create some great mangled textures and at the very least have been exposed to a ton of music I never would have listened to otherwise.

Anyone else been doing the same thing? Any neat finds?

What is crate digging? I'm not familiar with the term.

crate digging as in digging through crates full of old records, a common term to DJs

I go through my Goodwill and look for good records
I find stuff like this:


And you wouldn't know from the cover, but it is actually an amazing record

I'm not surprised at all, Roger and Zapp was phenomenal.

Man I haven't crate digged in a long while. I need to set a date to do it up.

I need to find the record with "More Bounce to the Ounce" on it. This album does have "So Ruff So Tuff" which is fantastic.

I also found a couple rick james records with this one :D

Seriously though, old vinyl disco samplers = never ending source of kick drums + loops begging to be filtered and sped up. Be like Daft Punk.

I come from a generation that is still used to asking questions to people for serviceable answers, not Google or Wiki.

I come from a generation that learned how to use dictionaries and encyclopedias, through the snow, uphill both ways, and used them as starting points before asking further. Your argument would've had more merit if the Wikipedia definition was not serviceable.

Since it is serviceable, you may now get off my lawn.

I really don't think its worth getting an attitude for. People ask questions on forums. That's what they're there for. I prefer asking people. I don't see whats wrong with that.
