Yeah a fucking museum lol, he said in an interview that some younger guys forced him to use ableton. I havent heard his recent music. Wonder if it’s any good. I need to stop obsessing over gadgets and make more music. I e only made about 4 albums this year so far |
||||||||

|
|
Yeah youre right |
||||||||

Did you ever have a machinedrum? They seem fucking amazing |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
as always the answer is a very long gearslutz thread. sounds like the mpc60 could be ok. ignore me |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but don't buy it just for a sequencer i'd say |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i've never tried any of the elektron stuff. it seems nice |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Mpc 60 costs about 1200 quid though... i do t have a record player even. If i could make beats like preemo or early rza id be a rich man. I guess they have good natural ears for music, |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah i have a yamaha qy 300 and atari st, totally covered for sequencing |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
according to that thread you just want an s950 for the akai 'color' if you want the mpc workflow get a 1000, much more flexible so an mpc1000 with s950 sounds like your end sum |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
then just get a s950 apparently |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
They cost like 4-6 hundred now. Maybe not worth the money. If i make cool,stuff on the emu esi 2000 maybe the price will go up lol |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Just had a look at ebay, all the s950s are 600 quid with broken backlight. No, just no lol |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Mpc 1000 are 5 h7ndred quid |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what is the intent, here? do you just need a sampler? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Nahh i just listen to dj premier all the time I think im too old to be emulating other musicians now Acid is my true love |
||||||||

Yeah a fucking museum lol, he said in an interview that some younger guys forced him to use ableton. I havent heard his recent music. Wonder if it’s any good. i think luke vibert is actually a better analogy, here -- he does acid musics, and he went from an atari ST + sampler (quite possibly 950) to reason. first album he made with it you can kinda tell, after that it's just back to vibert being himself |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I had a concept for a jungle album and hip hop album but the copyrights and stuff are annoying |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Luke vibert is really talented but i never really got in to his stuff Aphex and ceephax are my favs from age 17. Squarepusher around go plastic era i love too. |

there is a lot to be said for the old machines, walking through ancient corridors and realizing "ohhh, that's how the chemical brothers did that." mindset, workflow, the hedspace of working with buttons and knobs. when you get to mpc1000 vs 3000, it's more like... the very specific subsets of hedspace different versions of the MPC OS/layout imbue |
||||||||

|
If i go software it will be something like deflemask, making mega drive fm music |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
generally the best thing, i find, is to pick themes. like, the juke highbert album was maritime-themed intelligent brain juke, and you say to yourself, "i need a dolphin synth noise" and at that point it doesn't matter if aphex used it or not, it's which of these little buggers will do the best dolphin, and the answer is the korg ms2000. |

Yeah the old mpcs dnt have filters or fx My emu esi 2000mhas fucking kick arse formant filters |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Im over aphex used it But theres a little bit of squarepusher and dj premier used it in me |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so you want to a) reduce friction in your workflow b) perhaps have a few bedrock classics like the s950 so you can reverse engineer how your idols thot, and also perhaps rip them off c) whimsical themes provide some sort of forward momentum and vague structure this is, actually, a rather succinct summary of my own creative process |
||||||||

|
|
Yeah |

I already have tonnes of gear I think ive put too much pressure on myself to make another album all the time. Gear lust is easier than making stuff, it’s a lazy way out. Im just gonna play more mega drive, then get round to starting my next album. For my next one ive lined up a mastering guy who is quite expensive but i know him kind of and he offered me a good price i thnk. He has loads of analog outboard and good ears. Anyway goodnight dude. |
