[TECHNIQUE] Making basslines without using VSTs.....

All cool man

Thats sick that you can edit down to one cycle on hardware. Shows my ignorance really.!!

DJ Krust claims he mad the bass in Warhead by recording himself touching the live end of a live line. I'm not sure I'd want to test it on your tongue on a large system though

Do you have a tongue piercing?

no tongue piercing here.. gladly missed the rave scene in that regard

i was using my finger tip on the line and then i realized i wanted 2 hands so i could use both hands to tweak the settings on the filter and perform on the MPC.. the only trouble i had was after about a half hour the polarity of my tongue got switched or some shit.. all of a sudden i had to touch the ring and not the tip in order to amplify the sound to where it needed to be... but all i did was hold the plastic part of the mini jack inbetween my teeth and use the tip of my tongue to perform. even licking your finger and then touching the line is a bit louder than just your finger i think

he said "without vsts". he didn't say "without software sequencers". sequencers have "samplers" in them as well.

derf.

software may not be THE answer, but for some of us, it was AN answer. don't get yer knickers in a twist. i could afford a DAW; i couldn't afford (nor do i have room for) a studio full of gear.

irrelevant. music is music. i could care less about what tools people use to make them.

the only twisted knickers over here are the bockers, and we'll see if that gets straightened out come october

you've got an analog sampler, have you?

Is that a Mellotron?

yeah its called an MPC.... i dont understand the question and how it is related to the picture?

your MPC is digital, as are most samplers... except for very old devices, like that mellotron in the picture, which played pre recorded samples off of analog tape.

To get back on track - this is a killer technique, no man should sleep on it.

I think Absynth allows users to draw their own oscillator waveforms.

some synths by AM allow the same.

Do you guys know of any others?

abstractsound · Post by **abstractsound** » Sat Aug 02, 2008 3:28 pm

you are correct. my mistake.. it can sample an analog signal but upon going into the mpc its stored as a digital file and therefore converted... but i still think i said if i can keep it analog i will.. that is beyond my control.

although its not ideal.. ill send my digital samples back through analog gear to get fatter sounds. too many a/d/a conversions can be a bad thing, but on a budget set up its sometimes impossible to avoid
