He has a serious tone to his voice that Garner's attention and respect but it's in stereo.Meaning his voice is not boring or monotone.Has energy to it Plus I like his speech flow.Agreed.

Sadly yes I've ended up halfway between Phil Mitchell and Heston Blumenthal later in life .. Bizarrely saw Steve McFadden whilst Djing at the old Chuff Chuff parties ( luckily not in any kind of transit van/ Carpark orientated incident ) .. He was a horrible sexual predator looking for women who might be at all taken with his so called fame .. Meanwhile his 'mates' caused the only fight ever to happen at a Chuff Chuff event - Horrible man ... Now it appears Heston's been on a 2 year long bender ( allegedly ) taking just about any narcotic he could get his mitts on and will probably soon end up on the front pages checking into rehab for addiction to 'Prescription Painkillers' ... No idea what's happening to us baldies out there ... !

This is probably one of the only times I've seen a pt.2 tutorial with more views than the 1st. People are so eager to rush through these so they can transfer the knowledge into their productions which we can all understand, but if you're going to literally skip through the history of how the music you love was first made you're missing out on crucial context that will benefit your productions no end. Patience and contextual knowledge will benefit you more than speed and quantitative knowledge.

Part 1 is a brief overview of house music, which isn't much better than reading the wikipedia entry on house. There are probably five or more documentaries on house music on KZfaq which have been produced in the last 20 years. People learning about music production today already have immense resources via the internet, and will have passively learned everything presented in Part 1, unless they are literally 12 year olds who first heard edm last Tuesday (and no disrespect to them). Everybody else already knows Franky Knuckles and 909s, and are looking for nitty gritty details and practical production examples.

I never liked clicky attacks on kickdrums anyways. But another thing I sometimes do is using an eq to accentuate the highs of the kick. In that way you can keep the attack round instead of clicky :)
