wtf are grooves?
like changes in midi note velocity? in speed or pitch? i honestly cant figure it out. anyone know?
Is this a programming question?
Vague thread is vague 
i thin this is what you are asking ..
its like the swing of a track
imagine a girl walking down the street and her butt is swaying in a curve which you could set 8 points on the swing arc within a certain amount of time
now change that swing so that that there are 16 points on that arc - whole different swing
and that swing will change the whole feeling of the environment it is in - for the track the swing or groove of the accompanying music will feel different… and same with the butt groove - more swing .. whole different environment
hope this brings you some amusement if not sufficient answer to your question
i would have explained it pretty much the same way
ugh…
ANYWAY
If you’re talking about like “re-groovers” they essentially “human up” a digital quantized performance.
Imagine that that is a one measure of 16th spaces in 4/4 time.
now imagine I have 4 quarter notes dropping on each downbeat.
1—5—9—13—.
Now, if I were to “re-groove” it. to let’s say a swing 12. It changes my note spacing into triplet 16th notes. with 12 notes possible instead of 16.
The performance has now changed.
1–4–7–10–
It’s still in 4/4, but instead of the note being played being a quarter note, you’ve now got triplets. dramatically changing the performance.
This gets cool when you use a very SLIGHT percentage of this, just to “analog up” a robotic performance that’s been overly quantized.
or it could be where the needle goes on a record. 
Nice Moika, but I still like Buzby way of thinking…
yeah, i’m sure you do. 
Groove is awesome. Can’t wait for the new groove tool in Ableton 8.
Damn good explanation Moniker. You definately know your stuff!
You should write some basic music theory tutorials for DJTT! Would be very helpful, especially for producers. I think a lot of dance music producers really don’t pay enough attention to it.
Can’t wait to mettle around with Ableton8
~cough~ review…~cough~
Monika, I don’t think people on here get it.
Could you post a video of yourself walking with an 8 point arc, then one with a 16?
Ok thanks.
do it Monika - !!
No, because the analogy sucks. I’d be happy to explain it in a video like a musician, though.
Wow…I failed again with a joke today.
Yikes…I think people are taking this interwebs thing too seriously today.
You didnt fail competely, you got me laughing !
sorry.
only 1 or 2 things I take seriously…
one is not being taken seriously as a woman in music.
“go get your boyfriend to talk to us about real music, in the meantime show us your *ss baby!” is the kinda shit that i hear semi-frequently. sorry didn’t mean to associate you with those jerks that are STILL present in the DJ/music world.
no offense intended from my comments
apologies if any taken
It’s probably okay buz. 
lol, yeah there are plenty of worse things anyone could have said. if anyone thought that was me getting pissed wait till you see me actually pissed at a sexist comment. :eek: haha.
was just my way of sayin’ “hell no”
ah cool
dont wanna be upsetting anyone now
I don’t get it, are you going to show us your *ss or not…baby?
