This week more classic sounds from some classic machines as we look at the Roland-based House music of the late 80s and early 90s.
It's about simple chords and melodies and bringing together the right combinations.
Drums: Roland TR-808 (1980)
Bass: Roland TB-303 (1981)
Chords: Roland Juno-6 (1982)
Melody: Roland SH-101 (1982)
Vocal samples: JJ Jeczalik's Art Of Sampling Library
Atmos samples: Loopmasters Warehouse Rave Library

For only $10k and some change, you too can make 30 year old music! Seriously though, really great and informative video, and great track at the end. Very Marshall Jefferson-esque

Behringer: RD-8 $350 TD-3 $150/each MS-1 $330 Roland: JU-06A $400 Boss: DM-2W Analog Delay Waza Craft $150 (I have an old DM-3 lying around, but lots of delay options) Boss MT-2 Metal Zone $100 (may not need since TD-3 has distortion built in, lots of other distortions available too) Rd-8, 2 TD-3, MS-1, JU-06, both pedals...$1630. Assuming you have a controller laying around or just use the MS-1 keyboard to program the chords on the JU. Also entirely likely to find things used cheaper.

Interesting how sounds that by themselves are a bit weedy work brilliantly in the mix. Reminds me of solo syndrome where perfecting tracks in solo mode results in a crap mix.

@colliemon
@colliemon 4 года назад
William Topping Can’t tell you guys enough how helpful that is to hear. I’ve also been finding myself mistakenly searching for “uber sounds” rather than complimentary ones that are in their own space sonically. I guess I should’ve understood this when learning about compression.
@ToyKeeper
@ToyKeeper 3 года назад
Meanwhile, I'm over here trying to make songs with an extremely overdriven distorted monosynth, and finding that the sounds are just too big to layer anything else with it. I may not be too bright, but at least my sounds are! :P Maybe some day I'll learn to stop doing this. But I swear, those feedback and distortion knobs are made of cocaine or something. I can't leave the damn things alone, even though I know I'll regret it later when I try to fit things into a mix.

The magic of the "Roland System" on display, where triggering and connection between instruments, even completely disregarding MIDI, works across different generations, seamlessly and with perfect timing. It lends itself to a certain workflow where ideas develop fast, often with unexpected and pleasing results.
@AlexBallMusic
@AlexBallMusic 5 лет назад
Oh yes! And the 808's timing is unique to it. You can see it on the grid, it's not 100% locked. Talking milliseconds, but it gives it a feel for sure, which gets passed onto other kit it's triggering. Love these machines.

I bought a couple of Jack Trax CDs, plus the House Sound of London compilation in about 1988, 89. Been hooked on this kind of stuff ever since: your track made me really nostalgic for this kind of music coming out of Detroit and Chicago, and of course, Kent (with Orbital). It really was my generations's version of punk, e.g., DIY music-making. Thank you for the really clear demo.

Thanks very much for your videos, they're filling in knowledge, history and practical answers that would take a long time to acquire otherwise.
