This is why Fatboy Slim is a masterclass in dance remix music.

@Fffuuuuuunnnnyyyyyyy 9 месяцев назад

This track is amazing. I appreciate how some artists (Fatboy slim and DJ shadow for example) are able to dig up samples that go together with minimal adjustments, often just a pitch/tempo change, and sometimes a little bit of chopping, but their tracks come out sounding so well put together. Also, the lowdrums on the left channel on this track really adds a lot of depth, nice!

@KarlBoltzmann 9 месяцев назад

I think the secret ingredient to a lot of his tracks from this time is the added rhythmic touches to the left and right channels. They add so much depth, as you said and when you AB those drums in and out of the mix, you can tell how important they really are.

@user-nc4di5bh6s 8 месяцев назад

Hey I wanna know how they find their samples themselves cuz I cant fund any samples they would use That's just unfair

@fax_dabsock3009 6 месяцев назад

@@user-nc4di5bh6s At first I asked myself this question too, but we must remember that those artists usually have two things: -a sh*t ton of musical culture in various genres (Cook even performed in other genres, for example under "The Housemartins") -a sense of creativity different from most people around that can ignite an idea just from "a melody" that flicked the switch in their minds This is referred to many other artists, for example Daft Punk or The Chemical Brothers just to name some of them, so it's not unfair...it's time spent, knowledge acquired and creativity that makes them artists.

Man, you're so good at these. You make it look like child's play even though I'm sure it's anything but. You put dangerous thoughts in the minds of men, like we could get that software and start churning out bangers. I can't wait for Mr. Cook's next appearance on your excellent channel. Hopefully you can give us a bit of a head's up so we can be sure to be here to see it all unfold live. Cheers.

@KarlBoltzmann 9 месяцев назад

Thanks OT. Honestly, half of the reason I make these videos is to encourage people to get this software (or another DAW) and play around with music making. It's a uniquely enjoyable feeling to get in a creative trance, recording, manipulating samples and composing music, having ideas create themselves from nothing. Even thought they might never be FBS level bangers, it's still worth the effort for the sake of the journey.

@@KarlBoltzmann Where would be a good place for someone like me to start learning how to do what you're doing in these streams?

@KarlBoltzmann 9 месяцев назад

Great question. I would download the free version of Ableton Live www.ableton.com/en/trial/. Last I checked, it is limited, but you should be able to do just about everything that I do with it. There are an absolute tonne of tutorials online for Live plus a bunch of built in ones as well. Download some of the free sample packs from their site (www.ableton.com/en/packs/), or I uploaded some .wavs here of DJ Shadow's - Building Steam With a Grain of Salt drive.google.com/drive/folders/1-pA-dSZolXee7nP9bQ_I8y2hp2nxsWRJ?usp=drive_link

@KarlBoltzmann 8 месяцев назад

Wow, Jack, well done. Is this your find? How did that Ruby guitar sample avoid being found for so long!? Especially given the connection with the drums from Praise You. It's right there. Incredible. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QN0iDX-RyzY.html

@Dr_JackHammer 8 месяцев назад

@@KarlBoltzmann It's Taking a Long Time is my find. I guess the reason for it not being found for so long is that everyone assumed it has already been checked before and also because the clean isolation of sample became available relatively recently.

@4eyedike 6 месяцев назад

What’s great about that freestylers sample find is that at the time this record came out, Norman Cook was as well known for his incredible DJ sets. I love that he was flipping those same records over and sampling the breaks for his own stuff.

Whoever did the kerning on that James Gang album really dropped the ball - I was trying to work out what "James Gang ndes again" meant for longer than I wish to say

@janhinke Месяц назад

8:33 - He used an Akai Sampler (like I had an Akai S-950), in which it is possible to set te filter cut-off on a value between 00 - 99. You could program the value by midi for each midi trigger. (note on, filter value xx) So every time you play the sample, it would have another value. The filter had no effect on the sample while it was playing (because it was set on a certain value) So, he probably made steps of 20 - 40 - 60 - 80 -- 99, for each replay of the sample.

@KarlBoltzmann Месяц назад

Great insight! Was it possible to do this in a more analogue way on the 950, or was this method the only way? It's funny because I really enjoy the way that he uses the digital steps of this filter in the track, but it's definitely not the way most producers would think to do it today.

@janhinke Месяц назад

@@KarlBoltzmann Well, not in the way, like with a realtime knob or something. But there was a way to make the filter follow an envelope curve, like the guy in this video shows! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BcF6oY3W9lo.html

@KarlBoltzmann Месяц назад

@@janhinke Watching that, I am reminded just how much easier we have it these days with the UI on modern DAWS. Unreal. I wonder if they chose to do the step filter because the intro would have been too long to process it on the sampler. Norman worked with Simon Thornton who did a lot of the engineering and mixing on these records. He would probably have the answer.

... when i did the step up, i did in reverse by putting the clean sample last, then on a EQ ever step back i did a eq drop from high to low.... i do not have something to show, because my HDD died, when i was in the army in 2002, but that is how i remember to do that...
