"I invented STEMS" - DJ Quick Showing Dr. Dre Creating Stems/Finding Out B-Real Is A West Coast MC

[I love Latina women]

I wouldn't be surprised if he was bipolar. He's always been kinda erratic at times

Plus, might even have ptsd. He did run over a kid with his car back in the 90s

He might be

I remember hearing about that.

Quik also brought the first Puerto Rican to LA and put her in the club, but LA dudes didn't give him no props, they're like scrubs

Nate Dogg’s hook on that song was smooth as fukk

 

[Da Jungles]

Well who invented it then suckas?

 

[Corndog]

Quik is an actual psycho, the shyt he will say is beyond comprehension. He's actually one of the last people I'd ever want smoke with, for that reason

But when it comes to production he's GOATed. Truly next level

 

[Guvnor]

old mp3 player apps back in the day used to have these 'vocal remover' plugins that would basically collapse the stereo wave and cut out frequencies from 900hz-1400hz to get rid of the vocal track. it sounds stupid but it actually worked like 40% of the time!

i know its not the same as stems but it just reminded me of that lol

i respect analog recording (thats how i learned) but you can do so much crazy shyt with digital, its no wonder theres hardly any analog studios left. you could do that sort of thing by hand... but who would want to?

You can do that by hand/via analog? Really that's possible?

 

[Piff Perkins]

That's a wild statement that suggests jazz never existed lol. Or The Beach Boys. Stems been around for decades upon decades. And rap engineers were using them before Quik. Obviously Quik is one of the greatest producers and engineers ever, can't possibly under sell his talent or contributions. But come on bro lol

 

[Tetris v2.0]

I respect it but I can’t watch quik always seemed like a a$$hole to me

I love Quik but put it this way, him coming out as MAGA didn't surprise me given the way that he communicates lol

 

[Bugzbunny129]

Correction, this is the song Quik did it on. This joint is from 2002 and no one has got this break sounding this nice before or again.

"I took the breakbeat from 'Do It (Til You're Satisfied),' which everybody has tried to sample but can never get that clean.
"So I did this trick that I have that I invented called interior dynamics, some shyt that I made up—Patent Pending"

Aka he discovered eq?

Lmao



Anyway, Stems these days a crutch. The amount of producers who use stem packs is disgusting.

Another trick people use to get acapellas is if you have an instrumental version of the song on hand, you play them both at the same time but reverse the polarity of the instrumental version. The sounds will cancel each other out and you'll only hear the vocals!

A lot ofbaudio isolation involves phase shifting, noise reduction and shyt like that. Another trick is that a lot of 70s songs have hard panning - in other words, certain instrumentals are completely panned to the left or right channels. You turn down the left channel and put the right in mono and now all of a sudden you just have say, a baseline and some flutes

Only shyt i use stem extraction for is acapellas if I'm doing a remix. Otherwise I prefer to work with what I got and use filters; the more limitations you give yourself, the better understanding you'll have on how to really get shyt cracking

Truth.

Sometimes I think he's just joking when he says wild sh*t, but he's dead ass serious. Dude's been really weird for a good 15-20 years. First he was online burning up those fake Death Row checks, now he's just saying bugged out random sh*t and lies. Somebody needs to check on that n*gga.

BTW....I thought his last couple albums were good. Book Of David is dope, and Midnight Life is cool. The thing I don't get about Quik is that if anyone should have said "fukk this" and started working outside of rap it's him. He could easily be caking as an engineer working on films, r&b, pop, etc. Go get your paper fam. No point in being bitter over shyt from the past that isn't making you cash.

Facts.

He was doing a little R&B in the mid-90's. He had that joint with Tony! Toni! Tone! "Let's Get Down". That was dope. Then a couple years later, he got mad when Saadiq brought in Battlecat for the Lucy Pearl album, but didn't call him. So he complained about that forever.

There's a lot he could've been doing over the years, that he seemed to just not get involved in. But like you said, he's bitter, as if he's being blocked from cooking up. Weird dude.

You know, he definitely should've did something with this artist he could've discovered
