The "black riot stab" is actually something called the "train lead", it's a sample of a train horn and it originally came from the disk set that came with the Emulator II.
What's really wonderful about this video is how much more information we have in 2020 (and beyond) about classic tracks and classic samples. I appreciate the effort put in by Luke, although off the mark there's some fun cross-sampling here. But the root of many of these, Stravinksy and Fairlight, etc, which in turn were recorded and resampled and digitised into soundbanks... that's the beautiful complexity of our electronic music culture. So again, while not accurate, it's a wonderful reference and creative reflection all the same. Thanks for putting this together, some great memories (and some PTSD from waiting what felt like HOURS back then for midi sysex sample transfer when the floppy disk failed!).
I found out the Inner city stab several years ago. Listening to it now in retrospect, it sounds so damn obvious it's unbelievable. And what a revelation it was. Great sound, always liked that sound :-)
that's good on modern technology but go back to the days of amiga and atari when you had to spend hours chopping ripping and sampling... look up octomed..and like others have said the sounds came from sound libraries some where free with some magazines and mostly programed into old skool synths like Roland w30 for example. good bit of kit there but doesn't explain fully the true roots of those sounds..
Video title : Origins of the Rave stabs. Video content : Show the origins of those stab sounds used in “rave music”. I think there is nothing wrong here.
@@luapmartin yes, but I don’t really understand what you mean. Like, are you making fun of what they think rave music is, or are you just one of those people that put quotation marks around everything.
@@ireadysucks3026 first comment was complaining for (in my opinion) no reason that the video “doesn’t explain fully the true roots of those sounds..” I was just giving credit to the creator of the video. Creating video content is not so easy, criticising it is much easier. I enjoyed the video and I like rave music sounds. Hope you get my thoughts. Cheers. (Keep also in mind that the first comment may have been edited too).
I asked Carl turner (bizarre inc) and he says that is legit for playing with knives. Can't vouch for the rest though. We were sampling the feck out of everything back then though.
good work, top old skool sample geekery :) I have another one for you, the "Rhythm Section" stab... bear with me... the source is Silver Bullet - Undercover Anarchist (Push to the Limit mix) Silver Bullet- Undercover Anarchist (Push To The Limit Mix) the stab is a short section of around 18 seconds in on the video. Check out Shoot the Moon - Technophobia - Shoot The Moon - Technophobia (Tuff Mix) which not only samples the stab from the Silver Bullet tune but the break as well. Rhythm Section probably sampled Shoot the Moon for their 'Comin on Strong' tune and then it became a fairly well used rave stab...
Hey guys there's nothing in the description mentioning synths. This video's is obviously aimed at fans of Rave music. Fans of rave music would generally understand that alot of that type of music was constructed from reappropriation and sampling existing records rather than 'raw' synth programming, so as such, to people interested in the production techniques of guys that made rave tracks, the description is pretty spot on in my opinion. A rave producer at the time wouldn't have necessarily cared less which synths were originally recorded only which recording was sampled.
Or to put it another way... if you clicked on a video titled 'Origin Of The Amen Break', would you expect a rundown on the brand and micing techniques of the drum kit played in the original recording session? Or would you expect to be shown which record it appeared on and was sampled from? :)
Mentasm stab was off the Juno 1 ( a preset ! ) and energy flash bass line was from a bass filtered with the res and cut on a Casio FZ1 Sampler ...that's word from Mr Beltram himself !
Nice vid, good to see im not the only one whose doing Origins of Rave stab vids. The Black Riot stab is actually off It's Not Too late To Dub by Sequal. I've done a few vids showing you where rave samples have come from including the Urban Shakedown, Some Justice stab :)
There weren't vst and sample packs back then. They were sampled from records, mostly reggae, hip hop and classical. He shouldn't have labelled it 'origins' none of these are the origins.
yes but which synths were used to create the sounds originally? sampling a record and then grabbing the audio is only showng that process. we can all do that. you need to rename the video as "ripping rave stabs and playing on a midi trigger" !
gnuttz1972 he's showing you where the artists of each of those rave tunes took their samples from originally. Hence the title fool. Rave stab origins...
How's knowing the particular controller going to help you find the origins of the stab? He's showing you what song the sound is sampled from, which part of the song specifically and how to play it. Closer to the origin than that is hard to get without video of the actual artist in the studio while they're taking the actual sample... and good luck finding that for relatively low-budget music from almost 30 years ago.
***** A synth and a controller are different things. The artists didn't sample anything they actually made the sounds on synths. What you are saying is the artists sampled themselves. I don't need to point out that that makes no sense.
really cool stuff! but I am sometimes wondering where/how the original sounds came from. Old romplers perhaps sometimes... But I imagine some producers made their own hybrids from scratch - samples from old records and/or rompler stabs. Classic sounds!
Luke Neptune I am too, but running virtual box. I use Renoise, as you can get it for just about any OS. Can't seem to get away from the Amiga Tracker days....
This is an amazing video. Thank you so much. I always wondered how they sounded sounded so good in Inner City Good Life. Thank you please make more videos like this
The piano stab you used at 4:00 doesn't come from landlord. ; ) the making of the Anasthasia stab is impossible to guess unless you know the secret... ; ) thx for this vid
Funny, I started watching this video specifically to try and figure out how they got the sound for Playing with Knives, and it's one of the featured tracks. Thanks!
That stab at 2:04 about sounds like smd 1 b side and the stab for it’s just a feeling probably is (and of course we know it’s from playing with knives)
What type of files are you pulling your stabs from Luke Mp3-Wav- Flacs ?? I would like to know because when i put my stabs/loops through Push they don`t sound nearly as good as yours...great work by the way subbed
i don't care how the were maid...THAT WAS MY LIFE.. i mite be 50 but those tunes just Rocked, and then Sum.............. bet you wish you were just THERE...........
Greeeeeat vid. I come from that. I Could do so muchhhhh with my tx81z and my Juno106. Even the Gerald's "Sunshine" plonks..... (i ve put it quite recently on my Motif Underscorer fb page) Yes man now we Chicago again.
all luv to to yo luke for creating that vid! nothin better for inspiration than some nice stabs haha :D i got one question for you tho: which break beat sample are you using and are you willing to share that one with us too? :)
The real original hit sample came from of course the fairlight , david vorhaus won a contest in linz austria in 1980 , cmi p vogel was there and vorhaus got a fairlight mk1 where he sampled the Orch sample (i think it was from a stravinsky suite) on to donate for the user library , the rest is history..
does anyone know if some of this classic house where made by sampling chords directly from synth (JUNO, DX7 etc.) and then played with the pads of the MPC, like it is shown in the video? that would totally make sense to me though.
whoever made all this music was inspired by that "Orchestra Hit" sample from the earliest of keyboard samplers I'm sure gosh its like orchestra hit stabs on stereo-steroids
Y'all notice that each group of songs is two different songs, right? The implication being that the second song is the ravey song which likely sampled the first song. The first songs aren't too ravey or stabby, but pieces of them were potentially used as sound sources for early rave stabs. Cmon now.
It's like someone pointing out a jazz record that a hip hop producer sampled and someone being like YEAH BUT WHAT KIND OF TRUMPET DID THEY USE ON THAT RECORD?
That's not the origin of the classic orchestral stab used so often in classic rave and hip hop tracks. It's actually a sample taken from the Fairlight CMI. Which was maybe the first sampler ever created. However, that sampler took it from a recording of Igor Stravinsky's Firebird Suite.
