  • The 10 greatest synthesizers of all time

    Quote from m.a.n.d.r.o.i.d;28441

    yep ivan, the early eighties roland kit ,mks80,mks30,mks70 for example ,all much better with the respective programmers, i got a mks30(jx3p rack) with pg200 ,very usable in a mix,
    slightly thinner than juno or jupiter, but capable of great string and pad sounds.. :cylon:


    Yeah second that. JX3P is a great synth for strings and pads. It's also very fun to program because it's so simple. Just few knob twist and you got the sound you want :)


    I just bough Jupiter 6 with europa mod from ebay nice to see how it's different to JX3P.

    yeah, i would have expected a juno or jupiter in that list. and i have never heard of that ems thingy before.


    p.s. i even own one from the list .. and only paid 80 € for it. 8)


    You don't know VCS3? Never heard Pink Floyd On the run or Jean Michel Jarre Oxygen?

  • Trying to get the name of a track

    Lol Debonaire - "Watch me now" has the same lyrics. Is that intentional? I just don't get this kind of stuff. Can't producers invent some new stuff rather than sampling/ripping/mimicing 10-20 year old songs? Or is the electro all about sampling and rounding already made stuff? How I see electro is that you invent something new, like Kraftwerk did, it's music from the future, not from the past.

  • need some vocoder advice

    Use the best mic that you have and try to get good vocal timing, clarity and quality.


    Then use quite ruff compressing and limiting to get the recorded vocal sound very loud and clear, don't forget eq:ing all sub freqs out (HP filter around 50-100Hz), add some high freqs (+3 - +8dB). Then use some good vocoder like FL Studio vocoder/Vocodex.


    Your carrier should be SAW/Pulse+some gentle noise or all together, use carrier that has lot of harmonics. Then play with the vocoder settings.


    Add a ruff compressor/eq after the vocoder. Maybe some delay/reverb/chorus too. When you got the right kind of sound, sample your vocoder output and clean the wav with gentle limiter (around -2dB), remove sub freqs (HP filter to around 50Hz), add some high freq eq if needed more clarity.

  • # THE BEATS # ANALOG OR DIGITAL? #

    Quote from Prototype;27082

    # I USE A LOT OF VST'S BUT ALSO REAL HARDWARE EQUIPMENT !


    IM SURE THAT THE ANALOG BEAT SOUNDS MORE PHAT AND WARM .
    A DIGITAL BEAT NEEDS A GOOD MASTERING TO REACH THAT LEVEL, I THINK.
    AND THAT IS FOR EXAMPLE MY PROBLEM.... #


    # HOW CAN I MASTER A GOOD 808 VSTi LIKE THE NEPHETON TO GET MORE PUNCH OUT OF IT ?? #


    Analog drums? Thats a rare thing these days. Personally I use analog modelling VST:s and samples for making drums.


    Btw. what's with that this "all caps" talk and # marks? I know you are a (advertisement) bot from the 25th century but can you at least try act like a normal human being? Peace :)

  • The Future Shock

    Nice poll :) Inteligencia Colectiva and the new master piece Wires are the best ones so far IMHO, so I'm gonna give my vote to IC! Both has very catchy vocoders, melodies and arpeggios. Good stuff!
