please read carefully....
I heard this: "the music of the future, is made with instruments from the past"
Is the gear or is your head???
Does the year of model of your machines have a big influence on the modernity of your tracks?
Guys, I recently made a compilation for the Red Bull Music Academy. Got 4 years trying to enter the famous academy, everybody has the right to dream.
What I notice, was a HUGE difference between the old tracks, and three tunes that I made this month. But this difference is on the sound, on the "avant-garde" of the type of music.
I used on old tracks, synths like these ones:
Roland grooveboxes. Mc 307,505,909
Roland Juno 106
Yamaha EX 5
Roland JP 8080
Emu command station
On these new tracks, I used ONLY
Access VIRUS T1
KORG ELECTRIBE ESX
ROLAND V SYNTH
EMU Command station
I've noticed that red bull music academy, has a tendence to electro to hip hop. They are very selective, picking 60 producers from 4000/5000 participants.
I used for the drums, like the hi hats, the kicks, snares and some synth sounds, the KORG ELECTRIBE.
The synth sounds and some effects come from the Virus.
Pads and sampled beats from the V synth
harmonics, percussions and arps from the EMU.
I'm gonna post these tracks. They sound similar like the new album from CHICANE.
I don't know why, but something in the gear, gave to my music a touch of modernism. Something make this tracks fresher.
There are some features from the new synths, that played an important role on the new sound I'm achieving. This is my biggest evolution, my quantum leap, and I still wondering how????!!!!!
Maybe:
the distortion filter knob on the Electribe ESX1. This synth KICKSS AASSSS!!!! The valve force addss a lot of saturation to the sound. It uses samples, but the synth section with its lots of oscillator features and this beatiful distortion added to the filter, changes the sound dramatically.
You know that frequencies like HPF takes out a lot of volume to the sound. Add distortion, and you'll have a very sharped high and clear synth sounds.
Features like these one and some odd osc combinations, creates new sounds, powered by the valve force.
What I tried to mean, is that, features from synths from the past, allowed things like FILTER MODULATION, for example, linking the filter to the LFO to obtain a oscillation on filter frequency or a filter long curve. But that's overused. I hear that so much on old trance tracks.
Which synth features are hot today????
Adding distortion to drums, using very high frequency sounds???
adding roll effect to short blips?
Wich kind of new applications for the gear are having a positive response on the crowds?
So, what I tried to mean, is that new features on NEW synths, allow to producers achieve NEW and FRESH sound, that results on INNOVATIVE MUSIC. Please demostrate that I'm wrong, because I love vintage synths.
