Using smart phone while digging - - Best way to use your phone

[brodel34]

I dont listen to the record before I buy it because I only buy dollar bin joints. If I buy something and it has absolutely nothing (highly unlikely) on it, then I've only lost $1. I'll just skip a soda and drink water that day. Lol. If I'm paying more than a dollar for it, (usually from ebay or amazon(shipping)) then its something I really want and have been looking for. I'll have probably listened to it on MP3 and know what on it!

thats dangerous homie. as a broke ass bummy mother****er, i understand the mindstate of paying ONLY little for records. But i always find myself talking myself out of records because they're expensive (anywhere from 5-20).. but then talking myself back into buying them purely on principle. there might be that golden in the rough. learned that from an old alchemist video where he says he'll pay anything for a record and it makes sense... you don't know whats on what as far as samples. with that said... if its something i think i can get for cheaper possibly somewhere down the road, i'll pass on it.

bottom line is... there is so much good stuff out there, only buying dollar records is like trophy fishing in the pond thats a few miles from the ocean.

I understand what your saying, but I disagree. When your good at what you do, you can make a beat from a single sound manipulated differently. mind is your limit. Im sure my dollar records can **** with your $20 stuff and what good is a $20 record that someone doesnt even know how to flip(not saying you, but just saying). People buy skull snaps album just for already been used loops. Smh.

yeah we come from the same mindstate.... i flip records. anything can be flipped, you're right. But i'll sample the 20 dollar record, the 1 dollar record and i'll sample the shirt off your back too. that's all i'm sayin.

Lol, I feel you. I just never pay more than a dollar for a record I've never heard.

My rule is, if it's got cool looking brothers on the front and it's from the 70's its going to be good, haha not the best discrimination but hey. But yea if your only buying dollar records looking up each one could take you some time and chew your phone bill if your not near a wifi.

I use my phone to play a lot of pandora, so I have set some stations up to find samples. If something awesome comes on then I take a screen shot to rember

I used to have a list on my phone that I researched before goin to my spots...I never listened to them online, but if I like what I read about them, for instance, the players, label, instruments used or even song names (all the PYHITH remakes, etc.) I would write it in my little notepad on my phone and look for them. I dont really do it anymore, but go for what you know. It can be advantageous to use your smartphone, but a lot less thrilling and more time consuming....For me, the point of digging is for the surprise when i get back or listen to it at the station.
