home made vs. released tracks: Grooves

2007-01-22 by dachillone4u

I really don't know where else to ask this question so I hope someone 
on here has had this issue in there lives. So I write deep house, and 
Nuskool Breaks tracks, and no matter if it is house or breaks I can't 
get my beats to mix well with other purchased tracks. After about 7 
years of doing this music production thing I'm finally making tracks 
that I want to mix, but like I said they never match up easily. It 
seems to me that there is some sort of swing, or lazy groove going on 
with the tracks released(hip hop to house). I think I can take an 
impression from a purchased track, and make a groove template from 
that, but I would rather know specific values and why. I guess my 
questions are:

Is there a simplier solution other than goove templates?

Does the groove that you are snatching have to be the same tempo as 
the that of piece that you want to write?


Do groove templates alter any midi data, if they are applied to midi 
sequences?

Is there any general swing or groove formats for deep house, breaks, 
and hip hop or is it all done by each producer differently. 

When swinging drums, do you swing all beats or just hi hats(no bass 
drum, or snare drum swing)?

I've listen to lots of music, and I know there is something that I 
can do to make my beats match easier. If you know of a place better 
suited to answer this question could you please point me in the right 
direction. I really need to understand this stuff as I want to start 
testing out my music in a club enviroment. So that you can referance 
what I'm talking about. you can google labels like nightshift(house 
music), TCR(Breaks). I'm able to mix tracks between these labels 
fine, and would like to get a groove/swing or whatever it is similar 
to those labels. I normally don't ask questions like this, but I'm 
really running into a brick wall with this one. 

thanks in advance.
