About Music - Nik-O/Techno Lab shares the secrets of writing skill Tracker music.

                           about music


Today our guest is Nik-O/Techno Lab (Oleg Nikitin, Krasnodar)

> How can you write without looking at the boundary of the 
pattern? 

What are the boundaries? In the pattern has a border, it is the 
last line in the pattern, further there is a new pattern. all 
other I define the boundaries of self, based on the case. I

share a secret, unless of course for you it will be secret.
The most important thing to determine in the track segment is 
minimal, ie tact do you know of music theory that the 
composition can be divided on [kh-kh ... ;)], Phrases, 
sentences and periods. Further more, Of course, all this can be 
and not know the quality and melodic this knowledge is not 
particularly affected, IMHO, it's all natural. Stroke can have 
different sizes, you can even combine the 2 clocks different 
sizes (which I often use), for example. The first cycle in 
pattern of 5 lines, and second, 8 or 9, the total amount of 2 
cycles 13 or 14 lines, 4, respectively, 26 or 28, etc. 
Therefore, you can do not be surprised when you see that in my 
tracks the pattern is not always has a size of 64 rows. :)


> Entire track in 5 / 8, I imagine, some bars ... I can not%}

I probably do not understand explained. You're thought of as a
divided pattern, if tact 8 lines? 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56
64. One hell if cycle 5 rows: 5, 10, 15, 20, etc. I
talked about what might be in the same pattern, alternate the 
two different sizes of tact, for example, the 1 st cycle 8 
lines, 2 nd cycle 5 rows in a result is obtained: 8 +5 = 13 
lines, it has 2 clocks, 13 more rows - 26, this is 4 clocks, 
etc.

more? 

Sometimes it depends on what I'm going to write Mouzon -
copy or nocopy, and, of course, at what stage of writing this 
track is;) here think, to tell you everything as is, or you 
yourself you try to understand? No special difficulties, in 
principle. I use rate in 2 cases, 1 st, when I need to do

pace that does not get implemented on only one
certain speed (constant rotation of 2 to n
speed) and 2 nd, when I wrote the track or in the pattern
beginning to clean up 'empty' (ie those places in the track, in 
which there is no notes and any other values) by removing the 
vacuum, I get the patterns significantly decreased at a rate, 
for example. was size 48 or 64 row, and was 12 (24) or 16 (32), 
of course, is the perfect option. in the end, I can stuff eight 
pattern in 2 or 4, it it may be necessary when the Number of 
patterns abruptly comes to an end, sometimes from this 
decreases the size of the track for 1-4 sectors (And sometimes 
for 1-4 sectors on the contrary increases), and in general 
after this procedure track looks cool:)
