Re: How to get gorrilaz soundin drums
well don't quote me on this but i think the most efficient way of getting that sound is by in fact sampling drums off old, distorted, damaged vinyl...darthandbarbie wrote:I was wondering how to get that sounds of kind of old, distorted, almost from a damadge vinyl sound that gorrilaz use a lot in their demon days album?

I maintain that recording some monkeyz and then pitch-shifting them down would be better............. (sorry for the bad joke
)
Actually, you can use plugins like Izotope Vinyl, OtiumFX Sonitex or Luxonix LFX-13130 to achieve this sound... Much quicker than the above suggestions..
There are other plugins that exist that do the same thing, although I forget the name of them right now. Search the plugin database over on KVRAudio.com checking the 'Lo Fi' option in the effects section. Also check out some of the free plugs available at gersic.com/plugins.

You could also just record with shitty mics/recording hardware (aka cell phones). I think Hudson Mohawke does that alot to get his drums

Re: How to get gorrilaz soundin drums
the drums on their new stuff just sounds like an 808 with plenty of vinyl noise and a wee bit of bitcrushing

Re: How to get gorrilaz soundin drums
There are lots of ways of making that lofi sound. Just start messing your clean drums up.
Re: How to get gorrilaz soundin drums
If your using Ableton you can use the erosion effect. I usually put to of these on one with the wide noise setting and one as sine. Then I just EQ the nasty bits
