Hello, Oslo to sync here. In the past, when writing lyrics, one tool that I've made use of is a pair of scissors. Taking the scissors to a text, whether that's something you've written yourself or maybe a book or newspaper, and chopping it up into words or phrases, allows you to take that pre-existing body of work and recombine into something new. Maybe you change the order, maybe you throw parts away or recontextualise passages to play with a meaning or tone. This technique can be a fun way to spark new lyrical ideas. Recently though, as I've been exploring techniques of generative music, this idea of decomposition and reconstruction has become really interesting to me in a musical context, and it's something I've been playing with, both as a way to spark ideas and as a compositional means to an end. Today, I want to take a look at some ways to approach this idea using some of the really neat features on the Arturia Keystep Pro. Okay, let's start by recording in a sequence on track 1 to begin with, and this can be like our original text in this metaphor, if you like. I'm going to do this one in distant step mode, I think, and I'll just improvise something in. Something like that. That's the diggitone, by the way, with its own built-in effects. Lovely. Do it like FM. Anyway, so let's have a listen. Okay, let's start by slowing that right down, so if we hit shift, we can change the time division on sequence or go slow, like slow things at the moment. Okay, that's better. So let's start taking scissors to our sequence, if you like. So the first thing that we can do is take scissors to our sequence and discard parts of it now and again. So the way that we do that on the Keystep Pro is by assigning the randomness parameter to each of the steps. So the randomness parameter in the sequencer mode should probably be called sort of all probability. So as we start stepping through in step edit mode, so we can adjust each step in turn, I'm going to turn down the randomness, turn down the randomness, or I'll turn down the probability for each of the steps to sort of roughly, roughly 50%-ish. The nice thing about the way that the probability works on the Keystep Pro is that if you have a step with multiple notes on it, as many of these steps does, the randomness actually applies to each of the notes individually. So what you end up with sometimes will be parts of chords being played, or it might be just a single note. You might get everything, you might get nothing. So if we start playing this back now, starting to throw away entire steps I think maybe now we're going to slow it might change the time of vision up to eighth notes. So now we have a sequence where occasionally we have things sort of thrown away, but the general feel of the sequence will remain the same because everything is still happening in the order that it was originally played. So you have that progression that was already there. So let's talk about what we can do on the Keystep Pro to start doing this kind of shuffling approach, where in the lyric analogy we're moving words around, not just discarding them. So there are a couple of different ways we can do that on the Keystep Pro, and they have slightly different feels. So the first thing we can try is if we go to the shift menu here, and on the sequence pattern selections here, you might not be able to see on the camera, but you have three options here. You have forwards, which is what it's going on, it's playing in order. We have random with the notes we've played randomly, or the steps we've been playing randomly. So that's one way we can sort of shuffle everything up. The nice thing about this is that it's not destructive. So if we ever want to go back, we can just switch back to our original forwards mode there and get the same feel back. But the third option here I really like, which is called walk. And what walk is is kind of random within the order. So you'll see that generally speaking, the steps are progressing. That's showing up on the camera, it's very bright. The steps are progressing in order. But now and again, you sometimes get them skipping over a step. Sometimes it steps backwards. Sometimes it plays a step twice rather than once. So what you end up with here is a sequence that kind of still progresses in a similar sort of feel, but it's still kind of messed up and mixed up. So maybe this is like shuffling a couple of words here and there within our lyrics, but still basically having the flow of the narrative being the same. So the sequence pattern in terms of the ordering is a non-destructive process. We can always go back. What I think is quite exciting about the Keysight Pro, though, is that we have some destructive mutators for our sequences as well that can be really, really interesting, either to spring new ideas or actually just part of a performance. So there are a couple that I want to talk about. You access these by holding down shift and then you hit one of the step buttons here. So the first one that we'll talk about is on step 12, and it's written down here, it says Random Order. So this is going to do a destructive randomization of our patterns. So the notes that are on the steps are going to stay the same, but now the order that they're playing should come out of walk mode for a second so you can hear that it really is different now. So now we have a very different story being told by the harmony, and we can keep hitting shift and step 12 to keep randomizing. So that means as part of a performance, when you feel like a part is becoming stagnant, shift and 12 and you get something that is still going to be contextually right in terms of the music, in terms of the harmony, we're not straying away from notes that we know work here, but it's a different story being told, the narrative is different, which I think is quite cool. And of course we could be combining this with walk as well, so that even within these new sequences that we're generating here, we're still getting that movement that is not completely static. I really like with this walk mode that sometimes you get the same step twice. So the next one that I want to talk about that I think is particularly useful here is on step 14. This one is marked as random octave, so this is going to take the notes in our sequence and it's going to shift it into different octaves, essentially recontextualising what's going on here. We'll get different inversions of chords. Let's give that a go. And immediately that different inversion there of that chord there is really lovely. We've got that upper note that we didn't have that before. All the notes are still the same, but the octaves that we've been playing in could have been shifted around and it's different ideas, different versions. So there was a note there in the bass which isn't one of the root of the chord, so you had that interesting inversion. It's still working from a harmonic perspective, but now it's kind of different. And again, it's something we can just go during a performance and just hit it again and find a new layout. So let's introduce another track here because these things kind of get interesting when you start modifying them. With them overlapping. So let's set this one to eighth notes as well. Let's just record this live. Let's do it unquantised. It's a risky decision how about a keyboard as I am, but go to go and I'll just put on the metronome. I might be able to hear it just coming through the... Let's take one ear off my headphones to hear it. So let's give that a go. Do a couple of rounds because it'll just overdub. OK, so we've got something happening in there. That incidentally is the microfreak going through a TC Electronic flashback too. So let's go across our steps here and do what we did before and let's make sure they're not always playing. Perhaps we won't go quite as low as before. So maybe just sort of around 75ish. Just go through all of these. Randomness down or rather the probability down. And of course we can do similar tricks here. So perhaps we'll set this to walk mode. Perhaps we'll do random octave here. Randomize the order again. And the octave. Perhaps we'll randomize the order on this one as well. So with this final track, track three, that's the millilog which is running into the digitonica it's effect. I'm going to try something a little bit different. So what I'm going to do on this one is, I'm just going to set this last step to 7 or probably D. Move me too high. Well, oh look as we go. So what I want to do with this track is slightly different. I want to lay out various notes from a chord with long gate times and then lower the probability quite low. So what we get as it plays is this shifting chord, chordal accompaniment that's happening. So what key are we in? What key are we in? I think probably stuff based around F is going to be safe. Let's go longer than 7 as I last have. 9. Sure. Again, we'll come in here and we'll just start laying out notes from the chord. So F in there, C there, A there, the higher C, the higher F. Maybe we'll have the E in there, D in there to darken it up. E there as well. Be nice. So we'll come out with record mode going to step edit mode. And what I'm going to do coming through here is I'm going to set the gate times to 16, but then set the randomness pretty low, 16, and around pretty low. So what we should end up with here, once I've adjusted all these knobs, would be great if there was a way to adjust all of these all at once, or Torio if you are watching. It would be good to be able to modify several steps at once, I think. Turn that one down. Next one. Nearly there. Turn that one down. Turn that one down. Cool. Let's mute those two tracks and let's just see whether we have something popping up here. Okay, that needs to run way slower. So I'll set this one down to quarter notes. So you can hear now that we've got this drone that's happening, and the notes that are popping out of it. I suspect we could probably actually turn the probability down even lower than it was actually, so it's still quite high. We might want to balance that maybe by making the gate slightly longer. In some cases, it's quite long already. Yeah, that's more the feel we're going for. So now we've got this chord or thing happening here. And of course, same deal again. We can switch to a different sequence mode. I think maybe random makes sense for this one rather than walk. Let's bring in one of the other parts. And then when we feel like we need to shift what's going on here, perhaps we'll do a randomization of the octaves again. Quite interesting when we do it on our chord. And we're constantly taking those chopped up ideas, the contexts to them, or our musical scissors, making it less busy, always adjust our probability of our sequence steps. Again, it would be great if we could do this all at once. Sorry, please. That lovely, it's not turned up, got that lovely evolving droney pad happening. We need to shift things along. So anyway, friends, I hope you enjoyed that and found it interesting and hopefully it highlighted you a particular facet of Keystep Pro that maybe you hadn't considered. If you did enjoy the video, please do leave it a thumbs up and make sure you subscribe to the channel because there's always more synth fun to be had. As always, thank you so much for joining me. Until next time, stay safe, take care. Bye-bye.


Now, Roma Wines present. Suspense! Tonight, the man who knew how, starring Charles Lawton. Suspense is presented for your enjoyment by Roma Wines. That's R-O-M-A, Roma Wines. Those excellent California wines that can add so much pleasantness to the way you live. To your happiness and entertaining guests. To your enjoyment of everyday meals. Yes, right now a glassful would be very pleasant. As Roma Wines bring you... Suspense! This is the man in black here for the Roma Wine Company of Fresno, California. To introduce this weekly half-hour of... Suspense! Tonight from Hollywood, Roma Wines bring you a star, Mr. Charles Lawton. And so, with Dorothy Elsay's intriguing story of... The man who knew how. And with the performance of Charles Lawton as Mr. Pender, a law-abiding citizen of suburban London. We again hope to keep you in... Suspense! Oh, no. You're perfectly welcome, I'm sure. Thank you. I'm glad to see someone come in as a matter of fact. Night journeys are always a bit tedious, don't you think? Well, I suppose it depends upon one's destination. Oh, yes. I do like a book to read. I have a copy of Hangman's Holiday here. I found it extremely... Thank you very much. I never read detective stories. They're so inadequate, don't you think, sir? Well, most of them are rather lacking in characterisation and human interest. But on a railway journey, one really has to... Well, I wasn't speaking of the character so much. I meant the crimes. Bungle, you know. Oh, but I don't agree with that. All those penned-readful murderers are so incompetent they bore me. Oh, I say. I think you're quite wrong. The criminals in books are usually a good deal more imaginative and ingenious than murderers in real life. Then the murderers who are found out in real life, yeah. Well, even some of those did pretty well before they got pinched. Crippen, for instance. But don't you remember Dr. Crippen? Oh, yes, of course. You know, Crippen, he'd never been caught if he hadn't lost his head and run off to America. What? That's the point, you see. He did lose his head. Very good. He bungled the whole business. It's so simple.  Me? Well, oh, let's see. I've never really given it much thought to actually... I know. Yes. I should use a sandbag. A sandbag? Yes. It worked very successfully in two stories I've read recently. A sand? Oh, yes. Pardon me, I didn't mean to be rude, but the clumsiness of it, all the elaboration, the lies, the paraphernalia, the adibos, absolutely unnecessary. Come, come, come. You can't expect committing a murder and getting away with it to be as simple as shelling peas. Oh, you'll think that, too. Your mistake inside can be quite simple. Oh, well, if it's so easy, how would you set about committing a murder? I? Oh, well, that's different. I should never think twice about it, you see. I know how. You haven't tried, have you? Oh, my dear fellow, it isn't a case of trying. There's nothing tentative about my method. Well, what is this wonderful method? Oh, you don't expect me to tell you, do you? I'd never think of merging anybody. Oh, yes, you would, if you really believed what I was saying. We've all of us got a nice little murder locked up inside, just waiting for a chance to come out. Oh, well, why are all these tremendous artificial barriers built up around murder, but the church and by the law? Just because it's anybody's crime, that's why it is naturally breathing.  Yes, that's what most people would say, but I wouldn't trust them. Not with sulfate or phenol to be bought for tuppence at any chemist. Sulfate of what? You think I'm giving something away? Well, I'm not. It's a mixture of that and one or two other things. You see, all equally ordinary and cheap. Well, for nine pence, you couldn't make up enough to poison the entire cabinet. Of course it wouldn't do to polish off so many at one time. It might look weird if they all died simultaneously in their baths. Why in their baths? Well, that's the way it would take them. It's not the mixture alone that does the trick. You see, it needs hot water to make the stuff take effect. Just a hot bath, anytime from a few hours to a few days after administration. It's quite a simple chemical reaction. It couldn't possibly be detected by analysis. It would just look like heart failure. I've never heard of such a thing. You know, it's very odd how often one seems to read of people being found dead in the bathtub. Have you noticed? I know. No. No. But look here. If nobody is fit to be trusted with this potent formula... I'm not to be trusted either. Exactly. Well, that's true, but it's past praying for now. I know the thing, and I can't unknow it. Unfortunately, perhaps, but there it is. Are we flying down? Yes, this is Rugby. Rugby already did me. I must get out here. I have a little business to do with Rugby. I'm most indebted to you, sir. I've been quite entertained with your secret formula. Thank you. Just a moment. What did you say was the name of that stuff? South 8 of... I'm a look here.  There's a good fellow. Forget it. Yes, yes, yes, that would be better. I will try to forget it. Night for suspense. Roma Wines bring you a star, Mr. Charles Lawton, whom you have heard in the prologue to tonight's study in suspense. Far to the south of us is our good neighbor country, Ecuador. Let's imagine ourselves there now, dining on the Roof Terrace Cafe of the exclusive hotel metropolitan in Guaiquil, Ecuador. Near us, an American has just complimented his hosts on the magnificent dinner to which his host quickly responds, ah, yes, it is true that our foods are famous. But from your land comes a rare delicacy also. It is this superb wine, so excellent that we in Ecuador import it from your United States. My friend, I drink to you in your own delicious Roma wine. Our Ecuadorian friend is right, for Roma wine's superb quality has won such favor in many far places that they import it, enjoy it as a rare luxury. But not so here in America. Here, millions know and enjoy Roma wines as an inexpensive everyday delight, at mealtimes and when entertaining. So many, in fact, that Roma is America's largest selling wine. With no high import duties to pay nor expensive shipping costs, you enjoy these distinguished wines for only pennies a glass. Ask for Roma wines, which bring you old world wine making skill, plus Roma's own modern controls and testing. That's R-O-M-A, Roma wines, America's largest selling wine, made in California, for enjoyment throughout the world. And now it is with pleasure that we bring back to our sound stage Charles Lawton in The Man Who Knew How, a tale well calculated to keep you in suspense. Good morning, sir. Good morning, Charles. I have an egg for your breakfast, sir. Oh, thank you. They're quite scarce now, you know. Yes, I know. Will you have your tea now, sir? Yes, please. Anything in the post, Charles? Only a note from your tailor, sir. He'd be pleased to have you come in for a fitting at one on Tuesday next. Oh, very well. Charles, what's the back stairs gossip in the neighborhood, Charles? Oh, nothing much, sir. Mr. Skimmings, the old gentleman in number 11, had a falling out with his navel and has drawn up a new will, they say. Oh, really? He's left everything to his housekeeper, Mrs. Digby. Well, well, well, she's been with him nearly 20 years. That reminds me, Charles, I should draw up my will, you know, one of these days. And Charles, I shan't forget you. You've been more than loyal to me, Charles. Well, thank you, sir. Charles? Yes, sir?  In bath tubs, sir? Yes, yes. You know, they seem to have a heart attack while in their bath, and they never come out of it. It's a common occurrence, I dare say, sir. There was one in the paper like that this morning. There was? Yes, sir. Right on the front page it was. That's how I happened to notice. Here, it's this account, sir. A wealthy manufacturer dies in bath. Mr. Brittleseed was, sir, of the Brittleseed's engineering works at Rugby. Rugby? You do know him, sir? No, no, I didn't know him. I believe the paper says his wife found the poor man. That's failure. That's a very peculiar coincidence. What, sir? I was just thinking, Charles. I met a man on the train down from Carlisle last night. He got offered, Rugby. He said he had a bit of business there. I wonder what his business was. Oh, Charles. Charles. Charles. Charles is someone at the door. Don't tell me the bell must be out of order. Charles. Where is that other slipper?  All right, all right, just a moment, just a moment. I'm coming, I'm coming. Mrs. Digby. Oh, I didn't mean to rouse you, sir. But Mr. Skimmings never kept a phone in the house, sir.  Step inside, Mrs. Digby. What precisely seems to be the trouble? Well, I thought he was at long time in the bath, sir. But I never dreamed. Oh, dear me, has Mr. Skimmings been taken ill? Is that what the matter? Worse than ill, sir. All blue he is. Dear me. If only I'd looked in sooner, sir. But you know a gentleman in his bath how it is, sir. Oh, yes, of course. I must say I've always been afraid something of this sort might happen. The old gentleman would take his bath, so very odd. Probably had a slight stroke, Mrs. Digby. I dare say the doctor will be able to bring him round. Not likely, sir. From the look of him, he's been dead. Sometimes, sir. Stand back. Stand back. Relatives don't need me until the coroner's completely jammed me in the body. Hello. Would you ever look at this card, please, officer? Who did you want to see in there, sir? Mrs. Digby. You'll find her in the library, giving testimony, most likely. No, yes, they've discovered the will, I imagine. I don't know nothing about that, sir. Will I just run in and have a look around? Officer! Who was that man who just went in to Mr. Skimming's house? Search me. Why did you let him in? He persuaded me like. Do you realize, officer, what you may have done? Of course, officer, I have no right to say it. But that man may have gone in there to destroy evidence. What evidence? Oh, I get it. You're one of them there sensations seekers. Barking at the wrong team, my lord. There ain't no murder case here. The old bloke died of art failure. Yes, I know. While taking a hot bath. Really, that happens every day. Five or six cases right around this neighborhood in the past month or so. I've been keeping track of them, officer. Did you know that in every single one of these cases, the persons who died left quite a lot of money? I wouldn't be surprised, sir. This is a wealthy neighbor. All right, then that's my number, Mrs. Digby. Give me a poem with any unusual development there. I will, then, sir. There he is, officer. Let's see. Well, hello, we meet again. Yes. I rather imagined we would. Did you know the old gentleman, Mr. Skimix? Only to speak to on the street. Well, then you'll live near here, eh? Oh, yes. The fourth house down. I'm just going back. Mind if I walk along? No, no, of course not. Hard on meeting again like this, isn't it? Most peculiar. Do you live in these parts, too? Oh, no. I was only here on a little matter of business. Matter of... yes. Last time we met, you had a business at Rugby. Oh, yes, I had. My business takes me all over the country. I never know where I may be wanted next. It was while you were at Rugby that, uh, silly old Brittle say it was found, uh, dead in his bath, wasn't it? Oh, yes, that's a funny thing going. He left all his money to his wife, I believe. She's a rich woman now. Good-looking girl, a lot younger than he was. This is my gate. Oh, already?  Oh, yes, thanks. I should like to very much. I trust your wife won't object to this intrusion. I have no wife. No bachelor's quarter, no? Yes. I do myself quite well under the circumstances. Oh, you're right. This is capital. Would you give me your hat? Oh, thank you. I think my man has gone off to bed, but I dare say we can manage. This way, please. Well, that file looks good. Would you take so much? It is, uh, remarkable. Uh, how many people have been found dead in their baths lately, isn't it? Well, I suppose... I suppose I've been taking more notice on account of that conversation we had on the train. You know, it is a curious thing how, when once your attention is attracted to any particular set of circumstances, that set of circumstances seems to haunt you. True. Let us say, for instance, that you get appendicitis. Now, immediately the newspapers are filled with paragraphs about people who have died of or recovered from appendicitis. True. You see it mentioned in all the magazines. You discover that many of your friends and acquaintances have had appendicitis. The thing seems rather too pursuable. Yes, yes, that's exactly how it is. And all these baths have deaths. The sequence of events is the same in each case. The hot bath, the discovery of the body, the inquest, and the medical opinion always the same. Death due to heart failure, following immersion in hot water. Yes. It just makes me wonder. You know how one does foolishly. Foolishly, whether anybody else had happened to hit on that drug you mentioned. What was the name of it? Oh, I shouldn't think so. I fancy I'm the only person who knows about that.  Oh, I'm a bit of everything. Sort of a general utility man. I do a good bit of studying on my own too. You see, well, I see you have some very interesting books. Yes, I collect modern first editions. May I see that green volume there? Of course, certainly. I'll set it down. It's a Henry James. It's quite a bargain, really. Here we are. Charming book. Yes, yes, indeed. It's a very interesting hobby. E. Pender, is that your name Pender? Yes, it's Everett Pender. You have the advantage of me now, sir. Oh, I'm one of the great Smith Clams. And work for my bread. Here's your drink. You're retired, I suppose. Yes, only recently. I was in a bank until I came into this bit of money. Well, you're one of the lucky ones, not married, comfortably fixed. I dare say you won't be needing any sulfate of panic. I didn't quite... Any useful drugs in the near future? No. I shan't be coming to you for assistance yet a while. Besides, how should I find you if I wanted you? Oh, you wouldn't need to find me. I should find you. There's been any difficulty about that. Well, I'd best be getting up. No, no, don't get up. I'll find my head. Thank you for your hospitality. I don't expect we should meet again, but we may, of course. Things work out so quillily sometimes, don't they? Yes. Good night, Mr. Seville. Good night. Oh, hello, Charles. I thought you'd gone to bed. I heard voices and thought you might be wanting something. Oh, it was just an acquaintance, Charles. Stopped in for a drink. He's gone. Shall I take the glasses? Yes, thank you, Charles. You wish to finish yours, sir? Mr. Pender. What? Your drink, sir. You wish to finish it. Oh, yes, of course. I thought I had. I'll draw your bath when you're ready for it, sir. Oh, there's no hurry. Tell me, Charles, did you ever notice a tall, dark chap with very thick spectacles and curly hair calling on Mrs. Digby? Why, yes, sir. Come to think of it, I have, sir. But then he always seems to be about whenever there's a death in the neighborhood. Lately, that is. Did you ever talk with him, Charles? Why, uh... Why, if I not to mention it, sir... Oh, you did talk to him, Charles. Why are you so upset, Charles? Well, sir, it was about Mr. Skimming's changing his will in favor of Mrs. Digby. And the grey-haired gentleman, a smith, I believe his name is, asked whether you hadn't changed your will lately. Did you tell him I'd left everything to you? Well, not in so many words. But you gave it away. Ah... Lord Inhab... What is it, sir? That... drink. He poured it while I was getting a book down from the case. What is it, sir? Charles. Charles. Under no circumstances am I to have a hot bath for at least two weeks. Do you understand, Charles? No hot baths. Very well, sir. Oh, Charles. In the paper. Has he... has anyone else died in his bath? Why, as it happens, oh, yes, sir. Here it is, sir. The inquest will be held tomorrow at three. The inquest? Yes, the inquest, Charles. I know what my duty is. I shall be at the inquest tomorrow. Hello, Charles. I was not expecting you home for a bit, sir. You didn't stay long at the inquest. I wasn't interested in the inquest, Charles. I went to the inquest only to see if a certain man would be there, and he was there, Charles. He was there, as I expected. Yes, sir. The afternoon papers come. There is still another of those bath deaths. Another? Oh, yes. Yes. They will go on and on unless somebody stops them. Charles, where was this one? In Launston Place, sir. A young woman this time. It's the most... No, no, no, no, Charles, no. I'm going out again, Charles. I have some business to attend to. Over in Launston Place, as a matter of fact. Goodbye, Charles. You have one of those old-fashioned sandbags. Sandbags? The kind one uses to keep drafts from coming in under a door. Oh, yes, man. In fact, I think we may have one left. I must demand for these now, dear. No, I suppose not. Careful if you use it on a stair landing, sir. One of these fell and hit a woman on the head in case I know, not dropped cold. You don't say. But I'll be very careful. Yes. Very careful. Good night, sir. Right, sir. Here you are. Well, thank you. Would you like a cigar to smoke later on? Thank you, sir. By the way, sir. It's a bloke following you. I don't know whether you know him. Yes, I know. Just let him learn, Bobby. I'm going to have some sport with him. Right, Charles, sir. Good night. Good night. I've known it ever since I left Launston Place. Bobby, to arrest me. Why should I?  Why ever do you want your thing like that? To put an end to one of the most fiendish careers and the annals of crime. You've committed your last murder, Mr. Smith. My name's not Smith at all. I'm William Bartlett. I didn't imagine it really was Smith. Do you actually believe that I'm responsible for all these buffs, have you?  Why should I?  Sulfate of Thanatol? Well, yes, indeed. You have me there, Pender. And you stood to profit by every one of those deaths, didn't you, Mr. Buckley? You have me there, too. Look here, Pender, you're a great reader of crime stories.  Yes, I have. God help me, but I don't anymore. I saw old skimmings dead in his baths. Blue and horrible. The man who committed that outrage must die. Pender, look.  Pender, you're mad. You don't know what you're doing. Pender! If you please, Miss... Warden, off at Coley. Yes, sir. You don't look at all well if I may say so, sir. Or to be home in bed, you ask? I dare say yes. That's fine for the phone-givens. Right away, sir. Say what's up, Tom? The club is not to beat me to the phone, and I'll tell you. Oh, if it's interesting like murder, my paper wouldn't print it anyway. What is it? Buckley of all people. No. Gone to an inquest. Some woman died in a bath. Where? Buckley must have been on his way to interview the husband at his laboratory. To the rough district close to the river, somebody crept upon him and gave him such a blow it broke his neck. Don't say it. We say it must have been a sandbag. Well, who did it, do they know? The vaguest notion got clean away in the park. Oh, that's too bad. Bill Buckley was a great crime reporter. He was a decent sort, too. I worked with him for a time. Great sport. No end of a leg for him. I know. Did you ever hear about that sulfate of Thanatolle stunt he used to work? No. What was that? Well, he'd look at you sober as a judge, he would, and then tell you about this sulfate of Thanatolle. Sulfate? Which mixed with a few other things he said would cause death if you swallowed it and then took a hard bite. Nobody believed him, did they? Oh, no. Oh, yes. He used to work off that wheeze on the boobs and right away carriages. Oh, no. See how they take it really? Would you believe it? One chap actually accused him of... Oh, not a panda. What's happening? Oh. Oh, no. Why, that bloody... He caught a bit of a chill out in the fog, I think. I put him to soak in a hot bath. That ought to do the trick. Well, if there's nothing more we can do. Mr. Pender wants me to thank you for bringing him home, gentlemen. Oh, nothing. My gentlemen, is your bath hot enough, sir? Mr. Pender. Mr. Pender. I found out the name of that drug, Charles. Sulfate of... Sulfate of Thanatolle.

good morning everybody welcome back to another stream so happy to be back after a couple of days off. I tried to come back yesterday I just let through because all the anesthesia just didn't wear off or not even anesthesia just also just getting adjusted to all the medicines that painkillers and so on they've been giving me but now I think I'm fine now but I'm fine to be coherent not going to be too overly sort of disorientated unlike the crypto market which took a massive plummet so interesting sort of to as unfortunate that I've been out had a sort of perfect short from from the Sunday which I had to let off on the Tuesday which is which was just heartening again I just didn't really trust myself to be in a state of well I have a position of having my mental faculties be up whilst was having so much money on the board so it's something you had to get off but if I mean if you had the short from Sunday you'd have kept that on I mean nine like nine times out of ten I know even have the ten times out of ten that would have stayed on if I if I didn't have that surgery on Tuesday so I mean it's life you can't really control what's when things gonna happen but it's just all of them all on the back end off of all that FDX sort of news oh partially or off the back end of the FDX news and there's this also other reasons to have that suggests this crash and look and see the markets trying to recover some of that liquidity now and and that would have been my first sort of suggestion looking at sort of this sort of capitulation pattern here and mainly because you're not really getting sort of too many sort of buyers and we're finally getting sort of what we're looking for in terms of changing characters not really a buy now if you didn't really buy off of this sort of structure here and we'll talk about that structure let's let's do that enough of this sort of what am I doing? Vamping? I guess vamping would be the right word for it. Let's sort of set everything up. There we go okay so we saw that sort of sell pressure and the reason why you maybe look at this to buy as you can see here this is sort of spot order book and you can see sort of the pressure that lies within the spot as you can see when people are selling so a lot of capture of that liquidity here and then you saw you saw even when you retest that you saw a little bit of buys so you saw people be antsy and say I'm not really buying I'm not I don't want to really buy this I don't want I want to sell this I want to sell sell panic panic panic panic get me out get me out so it's just kind of that sort of situation and I told people that okay it's not really a number target looking for you just looking for sort of behavioral patterns to see if this is a bottom I'm not because it's mostly going to be a fearful environment and that fearful environment will lead to sort of opportunities for people who are brave enough to take it again you can see minus 14k the spot Delta that's insane think about that's insane again usually we like to look for 2 to 4k and that's about it and then over here we're saying for 14k and looking at futures you can see that massive sort of deleveraging 80k almost 80k wiped out in terms of Delta wise also saw a whole lot of deleveraging and again it's the crypto market took our massive sort of plummet and we'll talk about this later if we go over to and look at sort of just the last couple of days and you see we were at that one trillion sort of market cap dominance and was slowly fell all the way to that I was lost essentially 200 million sort of in terms of the whole crypto market and we've been talking about sort of an event like this trying to take place and wanting wanting to take place for a very long time but just not necessarily doing it and then that's just a total sort of obliteration of the entire sort of crypto sort of ecosphere because crypto has been in a state where it's it's been there's too many projects it's it's where the 2000 dot com bubble was it's there's a lot of speculators there's not many products doing good things and there's not many sort of profit revenue things as an excess of liquidity and that's that there's an excess of liquidity was a lot of speculators into the markets and most of these coming from the stimulus checks and again the major benefit in the fisheries all those seamless checks were crypto currency and big tech and we saw big tech also enter into corrections as well so it's not again it's not exclusive to it to a dump on what you call it it's not an exclusive dump just purely fully purely for the sake of dumping it's it's crypto is not the only one that's feeling that burn and it does I mean it's at some levels you got to look at this and say hi I make it make sense that you are sort of looking at it and just saying oh yeah yeah things are happening here double checking my bit rate and everything okay yeah everything looks good as you can see I mean like the whole mst just took a steady dump and then it's is recovering but right now we want to really pay attention to sort of sort of red gold we want to pay attention to the Dixie because that's that's where we'll get sort of a bit of a lens into maybe what's happening today if we sort of look at sort of our references and from though some of these references would get something printed and hopefully we get something great and you want to look at high time frame you can see sort of that level breakout we saw that push down we're looking for we're looking for this to come down from here I mean but it's not sort of moving as intended where this goes up everything goes down we've been going down on this and everything's been going down with it but it's at a stage where we're sort of saying okay you know what this is this is sort of moving to sort of high leads and it's moving to high territories where we normally don't want to really see it so maybe we see that continue to come down and sort of touch itself a bit lower then we finally get sort of some corrective sort of territory we do have CPI today and we do expect the CPI to be lower I think it's lower forecasted we'll double check that before I sort of say that actually oh there we are we already ready to hit those? Did I miss the standard stream time? They said yeah okay oh yeah no oh that's this is why how else you see minus five now there we go I see you're back and well yeah I'm not exactly too well but oh yeah but I'm well enough and you know what it's great to be back great to be back so coinflation yeah like I said it's gonna be lower and then looks like we got that lower so that was that sort of whole push coin inflation rate lower it looks like numbers are doing great and then that's sort of another sort of drive and a measure so we saw that consumer confidence and again that's sort of rising that up I mean it's sort of a big pop coming in at 8.30 we always expect these news hits sort of just bleed off but nevertheless we already saw miles ahead this was sort of a buy model around here not necessary at this bottom because this could have and then this is always scary this part here but this part less so scary and you've been rewarded in doing so again no trading for three weeks for me until I'm sort of back into sort of like a fit and a fit as they can be as at least so just purely analyzing it the market so I mean I mean that puts me a bit of on the risk off side which is nice that means I can say things without meaning I'm checking off that means I don't need to put extra stress into anything or chasing anything I can just concentrate on helping you guys out when I look at you X we saw that sort of taper off and you saw wait for CPI BAM hit that heavy and it's just one of those things waiting for data we'll see fit this ends up being it's final nail in the coffin so that's something that we want to look out for you want to go lower actually for this goddamn and don't don't don't kid man this don't kid yeah as you can see just final push you sort of work the lows you sort of come in and taper these areas here and that's something you got look out for like if you're like ever flag trading you if you're playing the lows like this you're bullish if you're playing the highs like this and continue to play on the high side you're bearish it's just whatever side you work you do the opposite because you end up just building the opposite side liquidity and that's just like the long and short of like how to look out flags and I just always find those successful okay this works because this this and this flags won't work cuz oh yeah this we saw that we were high flags didn't work it broke down those people who saw the breakout flag got punished and so on and so forth using here not many not much liquidity everyone just got ran through and just that oh no what happens sort of territory entire market is pretty much on fire it's all like you if if yeah I mean if you lost some money yesterday or the day before I was definitely time to make a lot of money I think I need to start clearing out some of these lower time frame ideas actually don't think re-stream chat is coming up forward maybe as maybe you guys are just not talking because you guys are just so stunned by the state of things but here's that weekly level you saw it's coming all the volume was here anyway you can I mean been bought you could have bought in early off that area here or just waited for that just I just love these levels when I call them rain levels not after myself because they're raindrops raindrops all in on my instructions okay let's actually go back I'm like I said I'm gonna be a bit more lucid we saw again this is spread I don't have the full sort of data did you have some funds on FTX yeah I did badly I did it's one of the things you know it's nothing to cry about it depends on the person it's nothing to cry about for me but I mean it's it's it's sadness but at the same time I don't care like it's nothing I can't make back and you just gotta look at it as that you can make it back eventually and I proved myself consistent enough to say you know what whatever I lose I can slowly make it back as long as I just trust myself to do that I don't have the full sort of area of information but we always like talking about at least sort of this discovery on sort of how you can look at sort of bookmap spread you can see it work the highs that led it to the down of the day you can see it was working the loads it tried to buy again just fell don't know what happened here again just I've been getting random internet cuts or power cuts or just points where the computers just been asleep at the wheel if we look at it yeah we can see it and you can see that heavy bottom very heavy bottom so very heavy bottom and you saw that sort of yesterday spread I marked it out just just to demonstrate to you guys how it looks on a sort of a traditional chart you can see spread came in we work the highs you could have shorted any of these and you could have shorted below sort of this point the retest here you could have been long here or even here just scalp it back up to this double top or even been long here to scalp it back up to this soft top range and this is where you could have been long and you'd have tried to be out as soon as you can because it just felt most likely to have been stopped out here I don't go come pump can't dump without a pump exactly can't dump without a pump a pessimistic I love it but yeah it's just spread wise you can see it just comes in takes out all that liquidity and just pushes on damn man just a damn it just instantly shoots up but I mean it's it's buying up high just this is sort of moving into sort of a risk risk on territory you don't you don't want it to we always talk about in specially timing wise you don't really like where it's at especially considering you know what you know the funny thing ah no reason sort of like I should be standing up and streaming because the doctor said I shouldn't be sitting down because because the surgery was my on my lower back so I might end up popping my stitching but I can't feel anything I don't think I can feel some tingling but at the same time it's just nothing too major but I mean whenever I've been one to learn I wouldn't I've never been the one to sort of listen to instructions generated the generation bottoms in with a two millimeter week damn do you measure the week was it that long was finally getting some spot buyers as that's always nice I mean it's nice until we just not nice but it's not too bad having spot buyers it just shows this finally market participants other than the people who have been panic selling so that just shows we're getting there to the level of renewed interest but we're also coming to this point here and you saw how I marked I like marking these sort of volume nose out you can see how we came to that sort of point here and come up to this point here did you go to school did I go school as in like ever or did I go to school recently I don't go to school I'm not a school kid terms of support wise in these are sort of levels of marking out terms of looking out for just watching out you can see that buys coming in slowly here we want to undercut these buys ideally and you saw this sort of bigger walls and we talked about how when we have these walls entered especially if they stay for a long period of time take it easy to stay on your meds oh yeah you know what doxy gave me oxy cut what do they give me yeah they gave me codeine and I am happier oh never have I been happier when you're coding can make you feel this wonderful nah it goes hard if you want to look my brains are placed where like I can't like no matter how much medications there is I'll be slightly coherent and I can put two and two together at least I'll be slower that's that's I'll be I'll be as slow as I can but I mean I'm still I'm still now I'm not gonna be meant to be I can still do creations you can still you still fend for myself okay enough of this we talked about sort of this wall here and and how walls if they entered in this day for a long period of time they often nice reference points especially considering where this is in sort of relative position wise to everything else so if we come into here could be a nice sort of retest and that's something we may look for ah and as we go that they got rid of that so looks like that's nothing we want to ride home about and that's sort of what you're looking at with walls is his durations and if they're willing to stay and looks like that's not willing to say so this is becomes less of a higher sort of chance of this coming in looks like they wanted to come in and hug price higher sort of try a trap price so it could easily be a trap higher to then push down so that's something you worry for now so it's just that's how you sort of try it's it's mainly just looking at sort of and then trade psychology is that this is not cycle trade reaction and just saying okay the markets doing this to do what to do what to people so the people are reacting accordingly and no they're not so they would need to push higher we need to allow we need to allow for more leverage in the system but I mean it's been a mostly easy day I mean from this morning you can see this slow climb up it flush out that liquid see here just came to the V lab so yeah we do have these walls here so something maybe we tick to on the sort of higher base numbers I mean generally looking at how yes is coming up to this daily point anyway it's it's something that we are looking at something we're looking at to say you know what we have a small buffer area here maybe slowly run under this and doubt it can sustain itself for too long ideally looking for this area to maybe maybe see if you can print a flag here print something here depending on how and depending on the criteria is if we sort of trade on the high side we'll probably bring it down if we trade on the low side we'll probably sort of tune it up remember how I said prior game just trade the opposite as you can see that flag over here we came in printed a flag I mean that's like I mean it's pendant but we traded high essentially and pull down and you saw that retested it as well so game just maybe looking at it with that lens could give you that sort of thing looking at just pure daily you can see that sort of relative sort of relative to relevance it'll be that relative volume here very high on this sort of area versus the current sort of push up that we got so it's very soft skinny so maybe we get that chance to even spread that higher into these walls here because we don't really have too much sort of volume in this sort of pre-market area and now we're coming up to the actual market open but it's still not market open so we still have the ability to have a larger influx of volume and to sort of try correct it but generally we've been trading in this sort of range and we've been trading inside this into this volume area here so sort of 50% of that range and I think that'll be sort of ideal to mark that out just because I mean it's always nice there we go there we go 50% like I said I mean you can eyeball things and pretty much get them on point like so as you can see that 50% here so we'll probably spread this a bit higher that sort of tells us if we go to Bitcoin we'll probably get a bit higher out of it get that bit of last bit of squeeze out if we come into sort of looking at sort of this area here we can see that which is just the value lows currently here our maximum volume from the prior areas all the way at 19 150 which was ideal if in a normal sort of setting would have been our support ideally but it's again not living in an ideal world you can see that sort of heavy short offset that we already got rid of based off of this reaction here we just saw that a large cluster of flush of liquidity not too much volume but just a rather long sustained volume downwards so and there's not really one point to drive home about unless we're talking about this higher level point up here which is pretty high again we've lost a lot of money on the way down but that's just the way it had to be still I think with I think Salana's on its last hind legs because I think everyone knew that Salana was the major investor for not FTX was the major investor for Salana or at least in media and there's a lot of investments that are out of out of the water so a lot of money loss which is happy I want to see the crypto market reduced to at least a quarter of itself once we get a quarter of what the crypto market used to be we could then start focusing on like the projects that are good and then that's the way it needs to be or like a very good very good sort of environment none of this sort of BS like oh yeah we've got like 500 projects 5,000 projects yeah how many projects do we have 21,000 that's that's too much god damn that's a lot see this is what I mean like this is insane like this much this doesn't need to exist like guaranteed most of these are Ponzi's so I mean that's why we need some liquidity flashes we need and I think most of the sort of pricing has been due to sort of stimulus and if you start a look at that and I think and I think sort of without sort of the stimulus check I think Bitcoin would have been fading around this level so everything past this point would have been sort of new ground and you can see relativistic from here to here is it's not too far down and this will become a sort of our sort of true range I mean so you can see like we trade here would have been normal without sort of stimulus so this sort of flush here is just a great rule all that stimulus check from up above there and sort of pocket that so the government give you guys stimulus checks and you guys give it back to the rich well the government give you guys I don't mean I didn't get no stimulus which is which is very sad but at least I got it through dumb people but I mean and that's what it is it's just that's how money gets exchanged that's how you guys lose your money and guaranteed if the government gave you another stimulus check you guys will dump it back into the markets and be like and give it back to the richest people again and again and again it's like you guys are goddamn masochists theorem theorem looked a lot better and I said that on the discord before it was looking a lot better numbers were a lot more present it's just it's just one of the things where you look at it through here is theorem shot I don't know we're in theorem here we are cool where my candles no that's loading okay let it load we'll look at sort of the pops in the sort of lower time frame wise lower time frames thing we go all the way back so Monday I mean it was a little Sunday here coming back down we said this was a short and you can see that here you can see this sort of profile reactions and if anything let's see if I can sort of keep this hidden yeah I can okay that's so much better yeah I can I can hide the candles and just look at sort of this so we can see how we create that sort of point here this point here came in lower but more time spent and you can see we have these large volume dots where we absorbs and treat this as book map anyone wishing I can't be one of the masochists that's nice and you can see that final pop on Monday just coming in low and just creating that sort of maximum level where we traded to on the next day over which is which is always sort of an interesting point and you can see how they always leave sort of reference markers for themselves and and it's always nice to see it especially considering that most of these TPL stuff like that are very sort of an especially book map it's just so hard to record if you guys want I can share my share my sort of record recorded files wherever that is let's see because if you didn't know there is the option to record your data if you want to and the main thing to do is look for back back history data library it wouldn't be data library after double check where it is I think I think it's cached but you have storage if you use it because you can record your data and that's how you sort of do the what's called again do the replay modes and you can just open these files up and you can share these files around I just need to find where it is and you share the files around so those who don't have access to all that sort of data then you can just read through it and just study it in your own time that's that's a benefit because again data is expensive data is not something that's cheap there we're getting that large sort of buys coming in now so wherever you can get it from you guys are happy we should be happy there's sort of popping up into here you can see that sort of buys coming up it was short as well mixed up previous days sort of time spent is much higher you can see that all the way up here I mean we're happy if we stop here and these sort of stretches here but we've already sort of spent a lot of time here you can see but sort of printing large sort of single prints all the way up to the bank best case I think we don't I mean we can hope but generally seeing that sort of self-pressure already come in and I think right now it's probably better to look at sort of futures markets here my mouth is so dry and you can see future markets they're buying they're buying sort of heavy walls here I mean more directly over this is short but that's just a side effect of having the other bars visible now we see that sort of these long slowly coming above when we talked about potential to watch out for this as a short point so Ethereum is already in position to say it's retesting that bearishly so that's something that you'll not watch out for Bitcoin is coming back up to that work I mean it could have stopped here and would have been sort of happy on that downward swing but it's sort of just giving itself a nice sort of reset point which is also nice if you can sort of consolidate upwards maybe touch this and maybe go down lower maybe get a nice little double bottom who knows maybe stretch this out again people here like Wolverine they just like forget they forget pain I don't know like like a pimp trying to pimp flamp you so like here's the pimp slapping you here's him running a hot bath you forget all the all the pain he caused you just by that one act of kindness and you say I'll follow you I'll follow you to the the center of the earth I'll follow you and it just keeps going on you guys and you guys never learn or the market never learns either or one of you guys never learns again still not getting that volume so we'll probably see that maybe stretch higher and that stretch higher will lead into Bitcoin going a bit higher as well for bitcoins sort of support levels and we're in spot that spot is called futures they talked about sort of this sort of futures levels here's actually I think spot level would have been better at this point in time for longer term Nazis as you can see here this is where you have that sport wall here marked that out it's 14 5 2 2 very important it's sort of just marks that month very high level of monthly territory here then you have that low one out all the way at 6000 so this is back back when we had that 2017 all that sort of highest point consolidation you can see how we came to it here we see that bottom as well so you see this is sort of your true sort of a tunnel sort of range in terms of bottom wise this is your first point you can you have contention not really interested in any other point before then you see future doesn't even have data before then that's why we grabbed that from from the spot you want to overlay on here next wall down is obviously going to be your futures one at 10k so we have one about 14k so that's our first one then we have our actually we can mark that we are what did I say 14 5 2 2 there we go 14 5 2 2 it comes in Normans land here but we do have here then here and essentially oh I think that worked out nicely where it is basically 50% you can see how things just work out and when things start to work out you start seeing things work out like this then you start saying huh maybe it's not a coincidence maybe it's actually something to it so definitely could be a nice sort of point to say that's where your double bottom is get this sort of double bottom here it will come 50% of your future sort of volume you get that sort of pressure here people forget all about that pain it leads up to here comes back down and however they do it however they develop it they push it down I don't think we expect sort of price to come down today I did I don't think we might we might get it to hold uh and naturally today just purely based on whatever ES does I mean we're slowly coming to the point where we're seeing this sort of scary volume uh so we sort of need to sort of start letting up on that wheel if you're not in you're probably not going to push out uh what do you think of this month so far uh just a flash of liquidity nothing sort of too major to say about it uh just like a very very aggressive liquid flash theorem was a lot better as you can see it did still say within reason and that's something that I like I mean I liked uh and that's something you could have just traded like you can see how theorem came down here gave you an easy long bitcoin less so easy and I think even even prior like uh prior to sort of uh the very excessively excessive push down bitcoin had very didn't have much sort of in the way in the middle of here but sort of uh it did so uh in terms of uh theorem did have sort of volume here this all all of this have been no sort of new territory but it's just been developing its own price action so it's it's there's nothing you can say other than maybe wait this one out uh this could have easily just uh sort of traded inside here and just pushed out without sort of this liquid flush so I guess could have been sort of uh it's just an extra sort of this would have been the this is natural I guess you could say this is sort of the FTX addition to the party as they said you know what we're here miles of clean all that liquidity out and you saw that by coming here so we're sort of coming out to this point slowly moving to the area where these shorts are going to be trapped so that's maybe we if we don't push past it that means we're collecting uh shorts recollecting shorts here maybe dry price lower but you can always go up a bit higher then push it back down so looking at this sort of shape you see that sort of these buys that just managed to find itself in here but generally looking at sort of these bars were very much negative uh they've really much they've really added to their books on this side so they've made a lot of profits uh off of you you and I or whoever yeah regardless they made a lot of profits uh in terms of I mean overlook I mean it's just another normal day I guess another normal month there's nothing sort of too special uh I was reading this uh let's see uh let's see how change the monetary policies this is I actually know what I can't leave it in the I need to I'll leave I'll leave this in the crypto crypto channel chat in the discord for in the discord for book map as well as my youtube yeah you guys can have a read at that it's a pretty interesting sort of askal so definitely pick that up uh pretty nice sort of read but yeah we're moving into greener path and not really greener pastures we're moving into sort of territories where we should start capitalizing uh it's sort of if we're sort of looking at a range this is a push down this becomes our range low uh I don't think so again 45 225s around here it's like push down maybe this is where we get our spring uh at a later point so we get that automatic response consolidate push down bring in we're looking for some level of white coffee and uh sort of uh consolidation here so not really gonna treat this as uh as is uh because we've been waiting for like a monthly bottom I mean we're waiting for a monthly bottom in this region so we're in this sort of structure wise you can see this slow build up we've got that buy here that's slow build up from here just going down so that's all do we saw that divergence coming a mile away if we're sort of paying attention to it uh just taking that stops uh we're still we still have sort of leg room to consolidate downwards or even consolidate up to print some negative down but generally want some red prints try and push it down with some high volumes try push it down make it into a position to buy but generally it's it's moving in a place where it should be down and once we get that we get that capitalization coming in it's just in the state of I think anger now anger which should be turned into disbelief so you guys you guys have a couple of months if if like before you actually get a nice round round bottom but I mean the market's just winning it's done itself a huge favor and just got rid of a lot of things and it still can get rid of a lot more I mean this needs this number needs to half and half again and exchanges needs this needs to half half again there should only be one exchange I'm just uh that's called a monopoly we don't do monopolies here uh but no they they should be like a flash of that flash of equity should lead us to greener pastures I mean ES moving it's not really too bad it's like moving something new quarter upwards came back down we saw it on like we saw spine ES go up into here maybe we got a bit pushed down we expect December to be we're expecting December to be downwards anyway November it should play with it a bit maybe consolidate the rest of November then we push down into December and we see what we get there so in January we get have sort of a reset on the year out so because uh probably lead that to sort of marchish but I'm pretending to watch uh okay that's a large sort of I mean it's still sort of has that sort of potential to jump up here so you should be watching this we're watching this sort of liquidity come in we're all seeing that sort of spike as soon as we get that spike maybe we get that sort of drop down to go to the intro day so again we'll still keep everything on the normal uh not really sort of uh I mean we can't really give everything to normal there's sort of your age of consolidation it's pretty high up here I mean they spread all the way from London as your consolidation your bullish sort of retest comes in here like we mentioned prior uh and sort of bearishness would be when if we take our liquidity upwards we definitely pull it back down again if we hold here we hold here that's sort of your range high is anyway so we give that sort of that small buffer but here that's what you're looking for to be potentially bullish the bitcoin for today at the very least so I mean there's not too much to say other than that and I will be off I need to probably get rid yeah I gotta I gotta go go back to the dark to get my dressing fixed I mean there's I mean there was never too much to say anyway today tomorrow uh comments a lot more questions barrage me barrage me some questions make make it fun for me I don't know I'll catch you guys on the flip side thank you guys so much for coming enjoy the rest of your day have a lovely training session and be safe peace


Today I'm going to be giving you guys five tips to help you protect your sneaker collection. I know we've all seen the crazy horror stories of people sneakers falling apart or shoe walls collapsing at people's houses, mid-soles yellowing, or sneakers just simply getting really dusty. So hopefully in today's video I can give you guys some of the insight over the things I've learned over the past 15 years when it comes to collecting sneakers. And if you guys didn't know by now, my name is DJ and this is The DNA Show. On this channel I love giving you guys tips and tricks of things that I've learned so if you haven't already consider subscribing and joining the fam. We're on the road to a million subscribers and you could be the next one to get us there. Now let's take it to tip number one and that's going to be cleaning your shoes. Now I understand that there's going to be a lot of questions that come along with this so hopefully I can answer a couple. And as we go throughout this video if you guys want to get more in depth with any of these topics that we talk about in today, I'll try to make another video for you guys as well if you have any more questions. So basically when it comes to cleaning your shoes people always wonder how many times should I clean my shoes? What part of my shoes should I clean the most? What product should I use?   Is it a beader? Is it a daily rocker? Is it a nice rotation sneaker? Is it more of a collection type grill and I'm pulling it out for a specific event? You got to really understand that first so that way you know how to prioritize what shoes to clean and when. Now when it comes to the different sneakers and the materials and the cleaners and all those other factors there is a lot of variations when it comes to that and if you guys want another in-depth video specifically on just cleaning sneakers and how to clean so many different types and what products to use and everything I can make that for you guys as well but basically again understanding what materials you have on your shoes and what products you need to use and I think one of the most important things is when we see a lot of sneakers if they have especially with Jordan Ones they have a white midsole right and you got the white stitching so when that starts to get dirty you definitely want to clean that a little bit more often and not leave too much dirt on there because it can start seeping into the rubber and then making it kind of yellow over time and increasing that aging process and I understand some people like that aged look and that dirty look but at the same time if you want your shoes to look really fresh and really clean all the time especially if it's a more expensive sneaker and you have dirt on the midsole and different stuff like that when it comes to shoes definitely make sure you always clean that off pretty often that way it doesn't sit on there and say you don't wear the shoe for you know three months or six months from now and that dirt is still sitting on there well now the shoe is going to be sitting just caking on there and it's going to be a little bit harder to clean off and a low key might even actually stain those materials or those rubbers or whatever it is depending on if it's dirt or clay or whatever you know I'm saying so definitely be aware of those things when it comes to the midsole and cleaning those as often as you can whenever you plan on knowing that you're not going to wear that shoe for a while again now tip number two is going to be storage now as you can see back here I have the sneaker thrown drop side display cases I love these things right here if you guys are ever interested I have a discount code for you guys DNA show that'll get you 10% off of your orders whenever you order anything off of their website but as you can see I love these right here and the reason why I love these is not only because of display the look the aesthetic and all those things but it's so easy to access my sneakers compared to when you have a stack a wall of sneakers and it's just shoe boxes all lined up well now you got a problem because when you get ready to pull out a pair of shoes you got to hold the top ones and then pull them out and then the shoes fall down what people don't realize when they do that is let's let's take it like this every sneaker is roughly four pounds right and if you got you know 10 boxes stacked up and you're pulling one from the bottom well that's 40 pounds of weight going down on each other right boom boom boom boom now we know that the boxes are protecting the sneakers but what we don't realize is every time that we do that pulling the boxes out pulling the boxes out jerking the shoes around they're rattling around inside the boxes and what we know when sneakers they have you know a suede or a nice material and the shoes are laying on their sides what happens you get that little shiny spot on the side of the shoe next thing you know you're like where did this come from the shoe is brand new and it looks like it's been worn it's because of those type of things so you're kind of unconsciously doing that and kind of damaging your shoes a little bit every single time that you're pulling the boxes out of the stacks and letting them fall down on each other even if you're gently moving them around and doing all that they're still just slightly shifting a little bit in those boxes so to me it's very important because when you have hundreds of shoes and you want to take care of every single sneaker in the best way possible so that they last as long so they look as good and all those different things you got to be aware of all those things so one way you can do it is having containers like this and there's a bunch of different organizing methods right there and again we can talk about sneaker organization in another video if you guys would like but i love the containers and there's a bunch of different brands as well whatever you decide to pick on that's up to you um also you can do racks so if you do racks it's going to be similar concept but it's typically about three shoeboxes high by three shoeboxes wide depending on the size of the rack and then you have the rack there so that way when you're pulling a shoe out you're only pulling you know two or three shoes compared to ten stacked on top of each other so a lot of people like to buy racks so they can do it that's a lot cheaper option um i'll have a link for you down below in the description on some racks if you guys are interested in those as well but i know a lot of people like to do those i do those sometimes depending on which shoes they are where they're located and all those different things so i kind of have a mixture of display containers shoes still in boxes because i haven't really found a place where i want to put them yet and then other shoes just sitting on racks still sitting in the boxes as well so there's a lot of different ways that i still do it myself personally but yes i know the display cases in particular is my favorite when it comes to overall storing the sneakers and making sure that i'm doing something that will protect the sneakers on how i store the sneakers and how i treat them when i move them around now tip number three is going to be focusing on lighting so what you want to do is when you go into your room look in the room understand what light bulbs do you have is there a natural light coming from a window somewhere in the room all those different things so first thing i love to do is blocking the windows with something so that way there's no natural light coming into the room and it's almost like a cave like if you close the door and turn the light off you're not going to be able to see any light coming into the room sneakers like to be in a dark environment and by doing that that can help slow down the aging process in the shoes from yellowing and different things like that so i know some people ask about well you have shoes right here they have a clear front on the display case yes but i also have a very controlled environment the only time i turn the lights on is when i come into film and different things like that and then another thing to focus on if you have a light fixture on the ceiling what you want to do is try to make sure that it's led as well that way it doesn't burn it's hot it's not as aggressive on the shoes and all these little things i know it may sound crazy but trust me when i tell you adding led lights to the room covering the windows and doing that will also make it a little bit cooler in the room which means the shoes won't heat up and that takes us to tip number four and that's air flow and temperature control so what i love to do for my sneaker collection every single room that the shoes are sitting in i'll always make sure that the ac is correct for the room and if i need to install an ac unit into the window or something like that it's well worth the investment you can find one for pretty cheap at home depot so if you're willing to pay a couple hundred bucks on a pair of shoes and you got hundreds of shoes i'm pretty sure you can pay a couple hundred bucks for a ac unit and put that in the window to protect your thousands of dollars worth of sneakers but again i know everybody doesn't feel the same way i'm just giving you my tips on what i feel and i think it's a really good investment because also it's going to help you filter the air which is going to be something important we'll talk about in a bit but having a cool temperature in the room i like to keep my room on that 68 degrees somewhere around there and really making sure that it's keeping the room cool when it gets you know hot in the summer times and then also when it gets very very cold you want to also heat up the room a little bit as well you don't want to let it get too cold in the room you want to have that nice neutral temperature all times throughout the entire year now i know some people may be saying well the electrical bill and everything like that realistically it's not going to impact your bill that much and that drastically and like i said i think it's still a really great investment because if you want to protect your sneakers and allow them to last for a longer period of time or wait for them to go up in value so you can sell them and put that money to a down payment to buy a property or whatever your plan is went for having the sneakers for seven or ten or fifteen or twenty years whatever you decide to do it's going to all be very very important later down the line i've learned this over the years i've been testing this and trying this for many of years and people are like how are you pulling those out the collection and they still haven't fallen apart yet which we can talk about midsoles and wearing your shoes and everything like that in another video as well but basically at the end of the day temperature is going to be very very important so i like to keep mine at that 68 69 degrees somewhere around there and having that cool medium temperature throughout the entire year and you know obviously if the room is you know 55 degrees or something is cold we're going to need to heat it up just a little bit but for the most part definitely pay attention to the temperature of the room and the lighting of the room and the lighting and darkening the room is going to make it a lot easier to make the space cooler like i said earlier okay on to tip number five and this is going to be one that some people just don't want to hear but at the end of the day i feel like this is just what you got to do you got to make sure you have no pets around your sneakers so if you have a sneaker room or it's your bedroom and you got all your shoes in your closet and all the stuff and the shoes is you know all around your bedroom everything make sure you keep the pets out of there cats dogs i guess you can have a goldfish in there that hair and the dandruff and all the other things that it's going to go in the air and then it's going to affect the sneakers it's going to make them smell funny there's going to be a lot of different things that can impact your sneakers in a negative way by having pets and other animals and different things like that inside the house even us humans right we could be a problem to it as well we need to make sure that we keep the room clean and not have dust and all that stuff and just everything flowing around but again with having like a ac uner or a nice air filtration system that you can put in the room you can find something on amazon to filter the air as well that's going to be something that's very important on not only having you live a healthier life but protecting your sneakers for the longevity and allowing them to last a little bit longer as well and when it goes back to actually cleaning your shoes right if you have a pet and you walking around the house and you got your socks on and you got dog fur or cat fur all over your socks and then you just put your shoes on now it's all matted and caked inside of the insoles and on the sock liner and everything and i'm sure a lot of sneaker heads know exactly what i'm talking about me personally i am not a fan of that i feel like that is just no disrespect to anybody that does that i'm just very aware of making sure that i don't have all that stuff on my socks and then it's getting inside of my shoes and then you got to like scrape it out and clean it because i purchased shoes from people in the past and then i found out they had a pet and then i look inside of the shoe and i'm scraping out of the insoles and cleaning out the you know i'm saying so if again if you're looking to sell your shoes later down the line or something like that that could be something that could really devalue your sneakers as well so a lot of different things to think about but those are going to be five tips that can definitely help you protect your sneakers and build that longevity and allow you to wear your sneakers a little bit longer keep them fresh and if the value of your sneakers is something that's important to you then you can also do that as well i think shoes have a very strong impact on our lives when it comes to material items that we can wear we can enjoy we can express ourselves and then if we want to make a bigger step in life by taking that sneaker money and making that towards a down payment or remodeling a property or buying it into another investment sneakers can definitely do that for us so if you want to protect your kicks and make plays later in life trust me it'll be well worth taking care of them you're going to enjoy every single moment you're going to love the cleanliness of your place as well and that's going to be a big thing just again like i said keep things clean you'll make things a lot easier in your life as well if you want more tips and tricks
