Producers
What I learned about Professional Music-Makers...
I'm back from the Bay and very inspired. There were two breeds presenting to us. There were the Now-Successful-After-10-years-of-grinding-it-out electronic producers. The seminar by James Bernard was very illuminating. After talking about many technical ins and outs of Reason, and recording art in general, he showcased his track that he made 100% with one single 10KB kick drum sample. He even managed to program a huge wobble bass with it. Very impressive, James cut his teeth in the days of analog recording and using samplers that max out at 1MB of sample space. Anybody remember recording vinyl samples at 45 and then pitching down to conserve memory space?
