Subject: Sounds I need...
Original Message Date: 20-Oct-97 @ 07:19 PM - Sounds I need...
First, that sound from "Ready or not, by the fugees. Any ideas on how to recreate it with some type of softsynth?
I need some good single-hit sounds for chemical-beats, and breakbeats, like the prodigy. Where can I get'em? I don't want to buy equipment for them, I was hoping there would be some site that has some.
Thanks!

chopping up loops with sample-editors for years now, I've
made about a million tunes with tracker programs (scream,
fast, x, impulse, liquid...) Even tho' these don't give
you the best quality, they let me try out making music.
I also play bass and djembee (or however it's written...)
so I understand music theory. The software synths and
seqs also gave a pretty good idea of how electronic music
is created. I've also read a LOT of articles on midi
etc... I've got demos of midi sequencers like cubase, and
I find it all pretty easy, surprisingly. I may only be
seventeen, but have been involved with these things for
quite a time now. I just never had the money to get some
decent gear. (Well, I did, but I spent it all on two
basses, an amp, a distortion pedal and a "synth bass
processor" pedal.) Oh yeah, a friend of mine has got a
groovebox and I've worked with it a few times, and have learned a great deal from it. Give me a sampler and a
sequencer, and let me play with it for an hour, and I'll
be on my way... (I'm good with computers and stuff, I've
been programming since I was seven...)
I've tried out making waves a couple of months ago, but I
don't really like it. I prefer trackers, because of their
"atmosphere" - they're DOS programs, I like that...
By the way, I'm wondering how you can know what something
is gonna sound like before you sample it. I mean, creating
drums from cans and stuff - how can you get the sound you
need? Or is it just a hit'n'miss kinda thing?

Seriously though, the stuff that's around today is wicked..I just bought a copy of Making Waves and installed the 1.1 beta update, this is excellent, I can run Reality from it, have up to 16 bars of music per track and the sound quality is a lot better than version 1. Another thing, I know where there's a photo of the SU700, it's at www.teklab.com/~a3k/ref Thanks to Victor for this info.

Anyone know where to get that beat the Prodigy and
Junkie XL use frequently?
