I… I… Im the First comment… I feel so happy! Oh yea and that was an okay article too… but yea first comment! Mom will be proud

The Performer? Can anyone tell me what that is?

it must be nice to not have to worry about DJing

Oh for sure.  Because making your own beats from scratch must be so much easier than making two songs go the same speed.

nice video!

 110 for the kids :-)

yeah because letting your VST randomize your automation is really doing a whole lot 

best dubstep interview

Awesome insight from dude, but video could be a little more fast past but def has the old skool djtt videos, either way…

Datsik!

Ce n’est pas ce Performer ci dont il parle ? Superwave Performer 

Sorry, in English : 

http://www.superwavesynths.co….
It isnt this performer ? 

cool interview but absolutely horrible sounding music.. sounds like a transformer fucking kermit the frog.. guess I am guessing old.. sorry if I sound like a hater.. 

Yeah, nice to hear this guy talking about his music! I wish next interview would be Noisia :)

 After all these years… NI Massive is still Front Line Artillery in Many a Producer’s Arsenal! DATSIK man YOU sir is a STRAIGHT G!!! and a huge inspiration to me!

One Love from Deadmonton :)
Keeps It Classy Sir!!!
ez

Track at 3:30? 

DATSIK IS THE FUCKING MAN.

moombahton movement !!! 

Thanks a lot DJTechtools for this video and especially for having a huge focus on both Djing AND PRODUCTION!

 it’s a feature of Massive

 i’ve seen that video, it’s a good one

i agree im more than a little disappointed in what dakstik revealed about his live performance and production in this video.. pretty lame if you ask me…

Here’s a (slow moving) but good video on showing what Massive’s Performer is:

Massive Performer – Advanced Bass Techniques

cool story breh

damn, great interview, expected him to be far more douchey. good stuff guys :D

dont be sorry,you just got old.Its a common occurrence for old people to scoff at new genres of music.

its within massive,you have an option of either using an lfo,performer,or step sequence.Its on the top right corner of the lfo tab (its green)

Troy is a super awesome guy.  When I played with him on Global we got to talk a ton about production and dj theory.  Back then he was playing using serato scratch live 2 cdj’s and an kontrol X1 for cue points and filters.  I was using the same kind of setup prior to that and I was trying to convince him to use an S1.  Very cool guy lots of good vibes!

not that surprised that he uses logic but i wouldnt use it,even if i had a mac.but anyone has info on 110? sounds interesting

Dubstep is awful to listen to …. so easy to produce tracks and churn out crap….!!
my ears are bleeding…. !

 Great video. Thanks.

Glad this interview is longer than some of the ones in the past – like actually hearing what incredible producers like DATSIK have to say as opposed to just cutting it out for a cooler-looking video

 You’ve obviously never attempted to produce your own music.

Moombahton

I notice everyone hating on Datsik for some of his methods…
It’s called a jumping off point. He uses randomize to get a fresh start and
then modifies the sound from there. If anyone has ever attempted to
produce their own music without sampling other music, you know it’s a
very involved and tedious process. Randomizing stuff can help you
discover new methods and ideas.

“let he who is without sin cast the first stone”

i.e. as soon as you can produce and DJ as well as Datsik, then you can
talk shit, until then, shut up and gets ta practicing your craft and
quit trolling…

 Also, why does everyone feel the need to critique DJTT. They are doing us all a GIANT favor. If you don’t like what they are doing for you, go find another sick blog with a ton of info about digital DJing… oh wait, that’s right. There isn’t one.

a synth playing quater notes at 110 bpm equals triplet half notes at 140bpm.  instant integration; just move the drum loops around to shift perception.

oh go figure,lol.yeah moombahton is getting pretty big

And they said it was “dead” already. Funny huh?

For all the people complaining about the sound, this video shows how a dubstep producer actually puts time and thought into making this “horrible” sound.

Give credit where it is due.

I’m noticing more & more dubsteppers getting into it. Dr. P, Datsik, Flux Pavilliion. Although it’s not a giant leap, it’s cool to see these guys crossing genres.

I see your point. Just play some straight-ahead jazz for most young people and see how they scoff ; )

Digital DJ Tips? Digital DJ Tools? DJWorx (the new Skratchworx, which probably provides the best equipment of any dj site); Also, if we all abided by the ‘let who he is without sin cast the first stone’ bullshit, constructive criticism wouldn’t exist.

actually im 20 and i enjoy various jazz genres/artists but i primarily enjoy the rippingtons. ;)

yeah moombahton and liquid dnb is taking over.i wonder what will be the next big anticipated genre

its not easy and if you think it’s easy than your feeble attempt on creating a edm/dub track would sound worse than this

djworkz? which only provides news and product reviews??…no tutorials,no custom made products let alone any kind of products,no interaction/promoting dj controllersim,no extensive resources like dubspot or native instruments….sounds like djworkz is the best alternative to djtechtools…. lmao!! btw people proclaiming that dub is easy to produce and call it crap is not considered constructive criticism.

Terrible music, just not my style… but interesting interview, and as always great production by DJTT.

I don’t understand how people can ciritique something that is FREE!!!
If you don’t like it, don’t read it. Its really simple

this was pretty interesting to hear as im trying to do more producing. seeing his methods being just so obvious, but kinda taboo. nice to hear that not everything is necessarily “off limits” 

that you can use non professional stuff and make something out of it, and also do the professional route, but make your workflow simple to play on.

DJTT I love you. You are my lover, fatherly figure, and friend all in a bundle. Without you and my other lover, Live, I’d be lost and alone.

You are the coolest guy ever. Bar none.

can’t stand his music, but some really cool tips. i like how he emphasizes the importance of resampling

 what’s a S1?

110? dubstep? BITCH PLEASE…

some of you guys need to stop hating. just because datsik doesnt produce stuff like the garbage guetta puts out doesnt mean his MUSIC isnt just as good.

sounds like he sampled skrillex over and over rather than his own shit

DJWORX is riding in the ‘coat-tails’ of DJTT…like greatly stated above…unless you suck gizmo’s ego ‘or genitals’…he will black-list you if you dont ‘agree’ with the all knowing gizmo over a wack review,that was here on DJTT 6 months earlier.yet has footage of him skratching on you tube that is below C- average.jus get with it ,San Francisco has been ahead of the game in almost everything in the WORLD…half the shit yall doing they created the shit….he obviously trolls here a lot…

To be honest I don’t see their version of moombahton as “crossing genres” – ya it’s 110, but if a metal band played one song at 140 and another at 110, no one would think it different.
Yes, it’s different than traditional 140-150 d-step, but c’mon the synths are basically equal. Not to be a hater on anyone, I just think it’s silly to make it into some huge movement. “When i listen to music, bpm and genres are the last thing i worry about.” – Netsky
