  @Sleepdisorder: thank you - the strings are from KORG M1 - softer paddy ones are Xiosynth I think, filtered with MOOG white noise...

  @Sleepdisorder: all the drum machine sounds (apart from kicks (although the 707 kick is in there a bit)) are from my TR-707 :)

  @stephen roche: thank you d3ld0t :) - glad you like it - yeh Ste I found my head actually moving back and forth a bit when I was finishing it last nightitiyesterday - and believe me I've heard that bit probably a 1,000,000 times at this stage, so if it was still making my head move I suppose thats a good sign :p - I think the bit just before it 'drops' sounds like an elephant or something eheh

  Would love to know how you achieved this sound.
2. raytrace
  raytrace on April 17, 2009 22:11
  
  @Spuddley: if you're talking about the main acid wobbly bit thats a patch I made in Absynth then played around with while pitch-bending a lot, left Wavosaur recording while I did this, then brought it into Ableton and chopped it around a lot - theres a lot of compression on it too I think - if you're talking about the hi-hats - they're my TR-707 filtered through a MiniMOOG D - theres also a fair bit of autopan on them I think - and I think the phasey effect off the UAD CS-1 strip - that can be heard on the backwardsy clap bit too - :)
3. Spuddley
  Spuddley on April 17, 2009 22:18
  
  @raytrace: Hmmm... I may have the tools to give it a shot. I do everything in ableton though. I do have Absynth... but am not good at programming it yet.

  i think you should do a remix and make that kickdrum bassline the main element.it would destroy.
2. raytrace
  raytrace on April 08, 2009 17:17
  
  @stephen roche: yeh I do like that mBase01 kick-based bassline - but I think it uses a lot of frequencies and would be difficult to put as a main part of a song - when I try to scoop it with EQ to try and 'seperate' it, it seems to lose a lot of its character too - maybe I should try again though - I was thinking of making a version which was just purely the Absynth-y wobbly bit and heavy beats - I might do that but also have some of this bassline in it for a bit - :)

  @zander: thanks man :) - the strings are done using the wonderful SQ8L vst which is an emulation of the Ensoniq SQ80 which John Carpenter used a lot apparently - its a great sounding plugin IMO, however for some reason it cant be automated, although I think you can using MIDI mapping or something. The 'clean' bassline is Novation BassStation VST.

  wow, this track has some amount of varation in it!! .. lovely stuff. While there is obviously the detroit flavour, its got more of an early 90s UK sound, like R&S / Apollo / Warp , than US. (a good thing in my book! ;)

  @GenericMeds: thx - in this one I did do some really agrgressive HCF cut on the final WAV, I really wanted to make the hi noises (in particular the whistles and the T99 stabs not too be too abrasive), i also used jb_timemachine vst on AKAI S01 setting on all the breakbeats, and UAD plugins in general seem to add roundness to sounds to me

  Altrn8 sample?
2. raytrace
  raytrace on August 14, 2009 22:26
  
  @Eoin Bishop: no sorry, I actually sampled it from T99 - Anasthasia, not 'Frequency' (though Im pretty sure they are the EXACT same sound, although Frequency has a bit more effects on it). I think the T99 stab is definitely one of the earliest appearances of that noise. I think its an opera stab, distorted to fuck (and obviously low bitrate), chopped hard at start and end... (not sure though tbh). Songs like MNO - God Of Abraham would kinda support that hypotheses also I think.

2. raytrace
  raytrace on August 13, 2009 15:37
  
  @Dj Paco aka Condition: its a sample of Anasthasia - I didnt actually do that much to it, as it takes in so many frequencies that you cant really chop out too much, - I used Flux Bittersweet set to 'Bitter' to make it attack more.

  @DyLABs: yeh I deciding how much frequency to leave on them, in the end even though I knew they were likely to end up really big and even clouding some other sounds, I decided to leave them very loud as I just love the sound of them underneath the DJs Take Control break - they definitely are very subby though...

@Spuddley: i just had a look at the original absynth patch - it was fairly simple - bass1, sawtooth and cello (with jagged squares waveshaper) - then I played it very low I think - the main part of the sound is really the reverb and compression I think... - in fact listening to it now the original sound sounds kinda like a sustained harpsichord or something :p

@Spuddley: if you're talking about the main acid wobbly bit thats a patch I made in Absynth then played around with while pitch-bending a lot, left Wavosaur recording while I did this, then brought it into Ableton and chopped it around a lot - theres a lot of compression on it too I think - if you're talking about the hi-hats - they're my TR-707 filtered through a MiniMOOG D - theres also a fair bit of autopan on them I think - and I think the phasey effect off the UAD CS-1 strip - that can be heard on the backwardsy clap bit too - :)

Awesome. Lots of variance in your sound. More people should follow your example with this kind of music (myself included). Great effort.

@zander: thanks man :) - the strings are done using the wonderful SQ8L vst which is an emulation of the Ensoniq SQ80 which John Carpenter used a lot apparently - its a great sounding plugin IMO, however for some reason it cant be automated, although I think you can using MIDI mapping or something. The 'clean' bassline is Novation BassStation VST.

raytrace
raytrace on August 19, 2009 00:43

@GenericMeds: thx - in this one I did do some really agrgressive HCF cut on the final WAV, I really wanted to make the hi noises (in particular the whistles and the T99 stabs not too be too abrasive), i also used jb_timemachine vst on AKAI S01 setting on all the breakbeats, and UAD plugins in general seem to add roundness to sounds to me

Eoin Bishop
Eoin Bishop on August 14, 2009 20:19

Altrn8 sample?
raytrace
raytrace on August 14, 2009 22:26

@Eoin Bishop: no sorry, I actually sampled it from T99 - Anasthasia, not 'Frequency' (though Im pretty sure they are the EXACT same sound, although Frequency has a bit more effects on it). I think the T99 stab is definitely one of the earliest appearances of that noise. I think its an opera stab, distorted to fuck (and obviously low bitrate), chopped hard at start and end... (not sure though tbh). Songs like MNO - God Of Abraham would kinda support that hypotheses also I think.

Condition
Condition on August 13, 2009 08:33

perfect, what did you use to get that stab?
raytrace
raytrace on August 13, 2009 15:37

@Dj Paco aka Condition: its a sample of Anasthasia - I didnt actually do that much to it, as it takes in so many frequencies that you cant really chop out too much, - I used Flux Bittersweet set to 'Bitter' to make it attack more.

TerraLogica Recordings

@DyLABs: yeh I deciding how much frequency to leave on them, in the end even though I knew they were likely to end up really big and even clouding some other sounds, I decided to leave them very loud as I just love the sound of them underneath the DJs Take Control break - they definitely are very subby though...

@rayspark-industries: yeh I have 'Rave Alert' on vinyl somewhere (although as usual it might have been swapped for something back then :s) it is good but a bit too hectic for this mix so I used 'Rave Alarm' instead

@zander: glad you like it man - yeh so many of the early dance music that I was into come from New Beat (pretty much all the second half of this mix), XL Recordings: The Second Chapter just sounded so amazing when I first heard it back then on cassette :D. Yeh i did have a lot of fun making this and I probably will make a more straight early 4/4 ish hardcore and R&S type stuff mix soon.

@raytrace: reminds me of obsession in the mansion house or was it the RDS?

@stephen roche: I'd say it was the Mansion House one - I remember they played 'My Sound' there - amazing :) - then there was that hoax bombscare lol

apologies for this being a bit low, those T99 stabs always make stuff sound like it's distorting
