very scared - demoing P100

hifiboom · Post by **hifiboom** » Tue Mar 13, 2007 3:04 pm

very nice, ...

the P100 gives exactly the moods and shapes I want ...

never sounds annoying and lets me create every sound as big as I want....
listen how the clap gets that big size style.... and the lead melo falls back into large space. great !

you wouldn`t even recognize that there is a reverb in the mix, unless you switch it off..

Yup, you can't be without it really

..

Aff, I want to get into doing electronic music. I've got all these tools right in front of me, but.. Any ideas how to start? I do listen to a lot of it. I guess I just need to get down to programming some beats. Also a midi-controller could be nice.

Hi voidar,

I really think there is no way to work.... the only criteria is what you like...
listening is the best way to inspire....

as my only keyboard is broken since a longer time.... Its just my mouse, scope and me.... right now. So a bit limited over here.

I really would recommend a midi keyboard for playing around and searching for mood melodies and you really need a control box to change the synths sounds over the time and get some movement into the arrangement....

But surely, if you are good at the mouse and have much time... you can do this all without any contollers....

but it will make live much easier, if you have them....

What great sound. The reverb sits so nicely over the mix. What's the synth you used for that? Very Kraftwerk.

Hi Ben,
its different stuff inside this track...

which synth do you mean exactly? melo, bass?

Ben Walker · Post by **Ben Walker** » Tue Mar 27, 2007 5:40 am

The lead synth that comes in at 00.13.

do real halls say no to kicks?
actually its just the crap reverbs that hate kicks.

many of that 80s tracks use reverberated kicks.
many gated reverb kicks and that stuff ... ( f.e. Tears for fears - shout )

I`m rate mayself as a reverb-on-kick-lover....

I also got very nice underground tech stuff with gorgeous reverb on kicks I`m not able to replicate since now...

jo thats true... you are right.

but you do what you like and not what others wanna hear?
I make music for my passion and not to make money with it. So I don`t have to follow any mainstream.

I mainly think the electronic stuff moved to the wrong direction the last years...
Of course thats a matter of taste.
But to me that new "digital sound" with almost no fx doesn`t sound that appealing.

Post by **hubird** » Tue Mar 27, 2007 5:10 pm

that's true, the minimal techno approach is different, and seems to take distance from what got popular in the socalled Trance scene, with Tiesto at the top.
I like the person Tiesto, but not the style (so much).

It's a matter of musical-sociological development, if something get's to be mainstream, you always see a tendency in the opposit direction.
In this case, avangardists move away from that ultime 909 kick, from perfect mixing with great halls and other room effects, and from big audience appealing lead sounds...just to stay away from sentiments and weekend-party-animals-before-getting-marriaged

The focus is all about oscillators and computer/tech experimenting again, and I could go on for years with only my Elektron machines without using the effects of Scope, except mastering tools.
Sad for the mony I spend on tools, but it's still good to have them

Still...I would lowcut the kick's reverb, as the way you applied it is not as it is usually done if it's done.
There's just too much mud in the lows...
Great reverb tho, the P100

hubrid,
this was not ment to be a real track.... its more or less a waste track

I was just playing around with the P100 demo, to get a feeling of its sound...

so I took a d-loop added some scope synth stuff and some VSTi stuff to see, played some melodic stuff to see how the P100 fits into my mix thing...

you even can hear the demo period.... so this was just plug`n`play...

you re right particular with this kick, that the reverb does not fit perfect on that kick.... but as I said: drumloop hehehe

yeah, I understand

good to have this nice demo by you of the plate.
I'm still waiting for the right moment to buy the A100, it will nicely fill up my Lexicon MPX1 which does plates and halls more than good.
...soon...

does anybody know if the A100 has light versions (same quality, less tweaking possibilities) like the P100 seems to offer?
hubird, like hubert btw...
