Rave Stabs From An Unlikely Source & Processing

Rave stabs can come from anywhere and in this video I source some from Etta James At Last, doing a bit of processing on them. Try similar with other string/guitar/piano pieces, there are no rules!

Rave undoubtedly is the most "anything goes" style ever.

[@techtinkerin]

Bullseye! 😎❤️👍

[@djvoid1]

This is nuts! So many classic sounds from the one track.

[@techtinkerin]

This is like showing ancient man how to make fire! Absolutely excellent! ❤️😎🛫🌅🛰️🌌🌍

[@FlavioDutra26]

Our friend even thrills !!!! Anyone who is an old school fan who tries to recreate the sounds by reverse engineering knows how hard it is to find the old sounds of the famous Rave tracks !!!! Congratulations beautiful work !!!!

[@chorderline]

The art of sampling! Nice work!

[@PSYONAUT]

SUPER WORK . KEEPING THE RAVE ALIVE AND WELL

[@soundwaveproductivity2081]

I'm absolutely gob smacked where you got them stabs from......mind blown 🤯

[@anthonyblore1651]

Came here to say the same. For years I assumed these came from a synth preset. Like you say, mind blown.

[@AngryBulldogg]

Haha that first bit at around the minute mark is class. There we go lets see what we have here.... 3 seconds later we have hardcore lift off!

[@themonthehill305]

Hardcore will never die ❤

[@acidthunder1]

Etta James is fantastic- great choice for sampling

[@outsidemayor2098]

Had to watch this again, it’s absolutely insane 🔥👌

[@nednod442]

No words I'm blown away

[@erickstanza8782]

This gave me chills!

[@VTOLKits]

Thanks for the good idea, some sweet spots in this track...!

[@isaackeleher8077]

Awesome tutorial! Thanks for making it.

[@HChun-wd6mz]

Top notch stuff, man! Left me with my jaw dropped hahaha Keep up the amazing work, man. Stay safe and take care and greets from California USA :D

[@RaveyStabs]

Thanks, greets from a remote part of Scotland!

[@RSDFGH]

Мы из России,и тоже это очень любим с ума прям сходим но,у нас это вообще не развито а скарее только для некоторых людей,остальное везде играет всякое дерьмо.

[@rareoldskool]

Awesome man 🎹🎶

[@RuffneckBizniz]

Brilliant nice one!

[@AdamTheAd-vanc3d]

Fantastic work and demo. I've been doing this for years. I also grab bits from films aswell.

[@TheTamandtone]

Spot on

[@charliesmiler5618]

Great work! Keep it up ;)

[@erickstanza8782]

This is fucking awesome man!

[@zwiebelmitsenf9790]

Nice

[@OfficialTravvyTrav]

my gawd!!!

[@hicki9834]

It starts sounding a bit like the stab from Awesome 3 - Don't Go in some places, definitely gonna play around with this

[@dxtrs_mnpltr]

Hicki98 Kicks like a mule!

[@PSYONAUT]

Top Marks ..

[@RaveTracks]

Excellent work my friend!

[@RaveyStabs]

Not seen a video from you for a while young RaveTracks?!

[@RaveTracks]

@@RaveyStabs Young? If only. Yes, my lack of uploads has been playing on my mind for weeks now. Wish I had the cash for an MC707. That'd get rid of the Ravers Block for sure ha ha.

[@RaveyStabs]

Ha, I try to not look at new gear. A sampler is all you need!

[@RaveTracks]

@@RaveyStabs I have the volca sample. I hate it. No chromatic sample play back. Useless for a raver.

[@RaveyStabs]

@@RaveTracks Yeah bit of a toy that. Never considered the RS7000?

[@xrabbz2010]

This channel is class btw! And now that I know ur Scottish please tell me how the offbeat stab from the onto of Scott Brown & Rab S - now is the time was made 🙏 been trying with fm synthesis but failing!

[@RaveyStabs]

You could ask Patrick Prins because that's where Scott sampled it from! (Bits n Pieces). I think it's an octave stacked sax sample going through saturation.

[@PaulWoodman83]

@8:21 Kinda reminds me of something Todd Edwards would sample

[@demon_rule]

G8 man! Rave you!)

[@jj-tf5io]

Just found your channel. Loving this content on Christmas Eve! I'm guessing this is the technique Orbital used on Chime?

[@RaveyStabs]

Thanks. Yes I think they would've applied the same principle and took small fragments from an existing piece to create the main stabs inside a hardware sampler. Most hw samplers allow sample start adjustment so you can similarly find sweet spots, albeit on perhaps a smaller sampled piece due to memory constraints of the time.

[@888berg]

This is wicked Mate!! Love it!!!! Does Ableton have a multi note equivalent or is there a VST stacker?

[@RaveyStabs]

Not sure as I haven't used ableton much (found Bitwig easier). Any MIDI effect that can do octave stacking or custom chords from single notes would do the job. Bitwig tends to have a lot of these nice little MIDI devices.

[@eugenep6054]

yep, its called 'chord' in midi effects

[@dylvasey]

That was quite frankly the dogs dangly bits.

[@tunnis7us]

pure gold stuff rite here!!! Cheers from Finalnd :) You happened to know where's the famous string stab is taken from sample cd or the actual track. It's famous in hardhouse and one the earliest I know of who has used it is South East Players - Horny Drum Machine you find it here in youtube. Would be nice to know this I have so many tracks and have heard many more that have used this same stabby kind of string sample.

[@BogusNoise]

I happen to know! It's from Musique - Keep on Jumpin' 😀 kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJDOkmaImLZsfaM

[@_jilted]

[@RaveyStabs]

OK I will!

[@ml6cut463]

Do you have any tracks produced by yourself m8?

[@RaveTracks]

One day I'm going have a beer with you brother

[@RaveyStabs]

Definately!

[@dilil345]

MORTAL KOMBAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!!!!!!!!. Sorry.

[@jakuberemus714]

you are using an MPC yeah ?to control ?

[@RaveyStabs]

Just a MIDI keyboard under the desk triggering the notes (Roland A49)
