Who here likes them? How do I recreate their sound? Are there any good free software synths? What about equipment? What things would you recommend to recreate their sound? The maximum price I'm prepared to spend is £300. |

BOC are great! Anyone who knows how to help him should still give him a hand. It's good prcatice to re-create sounds aslong as there is a balance of that and your own sounds. Dont you think? It isn't as satisfying as making your own stuff though. |

Oh shut the fuck up, all of you. I'm not trying to copy them. I want the equipment so I COULD recreate it if I wanted. Are you going to help me or not? |

Mr Annoying, you need to have a wank, drink a nice cup of tea and chill out. Too much repressed anger. Bullied at school perchance? Hmmmm bumboy? |

An analog synthesizer would be the ideal instrument to use hardware wise. Korg MS-2000 is a good one, or a Roland. I wouldn't go for a digital synth because you are limited in sound generation. Analog synths all you to edit wave patterns and LFOs. It's quite nice. I'm sure Boards of Canada use a nice analog synth There are also of course some good software programs out there that emulate some hardware synths, 303, 404, etc. For drum patterns I would suggest EXS24 software tool that can be used to Logic Audio. Check out this site for software reviews/informatin. http://www.kvr-vst.com/index.php Hope this helps. |

korg ms2000 isnt analog! ive got one, trust me. ive seen boc live and they use a roland sh101 a laptop and a big keyboard for triggering sounds from their sampler. you dont even need a sh101 or anything analog. you can do anything really with a software sampler. try gigasampler or one of those and a sequencer like cubase. the only other thing you need is good knowledge of music do you know what rhythm/melody/harmony is? you will need a book on music theory and trust me, you dont need hardware equipment. by the way, BoC use native instruments software such as reaktor... hope this helps! |

I know what rythm/harmony/melody are. Anyway, thanks everyone for your help. As I say - I was originally asking how I could recreate their sound if I wanted. I think they're great but obviously I would want to develop my own unique sound. |

How do I use Reaktor? With all the synths in it, there's a delay between the time of pressing the key and the time of the note actually playing. That makes it hard to keep in time. |

Excuse me, it's a modeling analog synth. |

It doesnt make sense to say "how can i recreate the BoC sound" because all of their songs sound so different and have very different methods. For instance SixtyTen has a Roland sh-101 and samples but everything is modified. There are many ideas in the track. Unfortunately, there is no Synth X to make lush music :( The most important thing is being able to make the music before you can do the sounds. I read in an interview that BoC use samples of their own playing, heavily processed by technology. No matter what people tell you, you can't imitate Boards of Canada. They've been making music for over 10 years and know exactly what they're doing. Even when they don't ;). Remember: BoCs music is made mostly with software samplers, don't let people convince you to waste your money on expensive synths. PS. Telling people that the Korg MS2000 is an analog synth is unfair. "Analog modeling" means its a fake Analog synth when it is in fact a digital synth. It is not the same. Only an emulation. Sorry to get angry. Don't want people to waste their money because of incorrect information. Hope this helps! |

Reason is a very powerfull program, but it's really expensive. It's $400, but I don't how much it is in £s. For more information about it, you can go to: www.propellerheads.com |

Yeah you should emulate there sound, why not. As for equipment I know for certain they use a Roland sh 101 i.e. ROGYBIV bassline. I would think that asides from that many of there leads and pads are created with a minimoog. As for samples I was told that the use the old 16 bit Akai samplers ( s 3000), the ones that have the 3.5 micro floppy disc and that makes sense because many of the early samplers had more of a grainy lo fi sound to them. It also makes sense that they might use a piece of equipment such as this because the minimoog and th sh 101 are monophonic and cannot produce chords. Save yourself the money and trouble finding these items get yourself a copy of Ableton Live ( even if it is the Lite version ) a good interface and go to town. Good luck. |
