LOl. I prob now know what it is.

Asked an online friend from Australia, and it is about side chaining.

So I should not google for bounce, I should google side chaining and lmms.
I have already watched a few of those vids months ago, but I totally got confused.

I do remember some of the basics. copy a track, and then use that synth to cut out the sound of another synth.

To quote Jeremy clarkson, How hard can it be ?

'bounce' is variations in especially percussion. The regular 4-2-the-floor or drive percussion, is much more variated in house.
Hats are velocity-variated
Variations on 2. and 4. tick appear now and then
so called 'found-sounds' are used a lot on these 2. & 4. pos.
'found-sounds' is -anything- you can possible record. Often street-sounds or machinery, but literary -everything-, and often seriously manipulated.
So bounce is really about making the percussion jazzy and unpredictable. In the wiki, the amen-break and break-beats is shown,

that is bouncy percussion, but house would variate hats and velocities too

is a soundclip of really bouncy stuff - can you hear the ping-pong-balls - typical 'found-sounds' :)

Thank you.
That sound clip explains it very clearly to me.

I also have been listening to that Knuckles track (your love) a few more times.
Its not have what I thought at first. one not changing bass line through out the song.

I have added some drums and bbe tracks. The more I listen to it though, I start to wonder if the dang dang dang part needs more variation too.

I think I am the way of solving the to repetitive part.

In two tracks I just have moved a few notes up every 4th bar.

It came to me while listening to some disco track.

Making a nice house track, seems not so easy, it gets too repetitive fast.

Latest version of Buzz!

House ?

Feedback, hints tips, criticism as always welcome.
I changed quite a bit, but its still the same track. Changed one preset into a more House like sound, and added another house like sound.
Changed a lot on most piano roll parts, and added another synth1 part.

Haven't used the "Bass" or "Buzz" sample in a long time.

Well I have a bad experience with it. In my nooby stage, I used those a lot, and it just sounded lame. But your track is not ruined at all by it.

(Nunca ha sido is spanish. Leche you know is also spanish for milk. I'm not gonna tell you though ;D)

hahahaha. :)

Well not sure how happy I am about that buzz sample.

Its one reason why I asked for feedback. I prob should go on the hunt for some nice phrase. ( like: I got the power - snap )

I also wonder about the flow of the track.
