Hey IIIIIIIIIIIIII Nice post! Do you know the names of any tunes that were made like that? If i have any of them at home it would be cool to give them a listen.
I agree that the old skool tunes had a certain sound to them that still sounds great today (i mean i still pick up old Crystl/4hero stuff off ebay and love them), but on the other hand, i actually like the learning curve sometimes... Its like when i first started, it took me ages to learn how to sample and use a sequencer cos no-one else i knew was interested, but it was worth it and its a good feeling. I like combining trying to make a rolling tune with making it sound good for my own satisfaction not really for anyone elses. If i could make my tunes sound like the last Big Bud album it would be great but even tho i know they probably won't for a long time, it doesnt meant that i'll just give up trying. Its like making a cake and not icing it 8) Laters Dan -----Original Message----- From: llllllllll [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 30 July 2003 11:38 To: Drum & Bass Arena Discussion List Subject: [dnb-prod] RE: compression, it's just a tool (was ; Re: This list) ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Amiga Sequencer software like Cubase. WHAT, come here for a slap Atari ST + Cubase, not that kiddie mod 4 track shite games machine. Too many toys in the digital domain today, someone posted that they use about 5 stages of compression in the mix, including multiband, lol. We never worried about making tunes, we knew what the tune was going to be like before turning on the Atari. Now you have all the warez in the world at your p2p fingertips but you don't know what to do with it all. Well you could uninstall it all and just use a few tools then maybe you will focus more on the tune and less on getting it to sound right. I suppose I am "old skool", upto 95/96, most of the prod's I knew used Atari ST, Cubase V2 (V3 crack was shite), Akai S950/1000 or the odd Emu sampler, a mixer, if they were lucky some fx unit, and any keyboard that had midi out. Akai sine tone for bass, loop for drums, stabs, pads and a few vocal samples. Onto Dat, to the cutting room where compression was actively used for the first and only time, any other compression was due to the analogue domain and overloading the mixer channels, or to "nice it up". If you want to stand out, be different. --- Drum&Bass Arena Producers Discussion List http://www.breakbeat.co.uk You are currently subscribed to dnb-prod as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free.
