I saw a break down of Mr Fingers, Can You Feel It recently. It's so goddam simple, mostly composed by hand with overdubbing on cheap tape. And yet, it's one of the top ten deep house dance tracks of all time. We are spoiled for tools these days. A good reminder that talent can make anything work. I rewatched New Order on BBC top of the pops in the 80s the other day, man, it was such a horribly rough performance, but it also kicked ass in the way it was so gritty and real. I'm gonna put away my Push, and get my TR8s out tomorrow 😂

I read an interview with him in the mid 90’s that changed my perception of sound and the use of compression and noise sources. He is more metaphysical than music producer. I could type a long text about it, but basically he described the concept of compression to bring hidden sounds out of anything by recording then compress and record then re compress , over and over . I spent years just experimenting with that , and ended up summoning ectoplasm out of thin air. No joke. It really happened.

@@Marco_mcmp I just spent a few min trying to find it, but I just can't remember what mag and what year. I think it was Sound on Sound , around 1998-99 but no luck yet. it was definitely a magazine for recording professionals and he was still recording to tape. it could have even been '97. I remember he was sitting next to a 24 inch track tape machine and a rack of outboard gear. that's the best I can remember including when he talked about using compressors on noise and random radio noise and garbled sounds. but the bottom line is, compress and re-compress over and over to reveal hidden sounds
@Vingul4 ай бұрын
@@InFamousProductionsInteresting idea, I guess it’s essential to re-record between compressions? How would that work in a DAW, for instance? Would rendering it and then compressing it again make any difference? I could always run a small section through the Elektron Digitakt over and over but that’s the only hardware I own. As may be evident, I’m just getting into this sort of thing but I do have a strong idea of what sounds I like. Been a Slater and especially 7th Plain fan for a long time.

I pulled the (pricey) trigger about 3 years ago and bought the original machine after being musically "socialized" with the #RolandTR909 sound and groove for nearly 30 years. I used samples before, some good, some better. And tbh, I was a tad nervous if spending that serious chunk of money on a machine with "just" eleven sounds. After like two minutes of using it, I was sold and all my doubts were gone instantly. THIS is my religion, there's nothing like it. Its sound, its groove, its workflow. Perfection in beige. 😅

I haven't got to a 909 yet (though I do have all the parts/chassis/PCBs/etc ready to build an RE909) but I did pick up an RE303 last year and I know *exactly* what you mean. Despite the 303 being infamously terrible... it's simultaneously awesome. A real paradox. There should be a TV game show where contestants get 60 seconds to program a melody from a piece of paper into a 303, it would be hilarious
