Created by Roger Linn and employed by artists from Prince to New Order and beyond, the LinnDrum has become one of the most expensive vintage drum machines on the used market. Luckily, our friends at Synth City at Rock n Roll Vintage in Chicago had a mint condition LinnDrum they were willing to let us borrow. So, we took it over to Narwhal Studios, threw some pedals on it and recorded it into a Neve console. How do you think it sounds?

At 3:06 you said ‘the clap is another favorite sound of mine’ then at 13:43 you said ‘I was never really a fan of the Lynn drum clap’. My analysis is that I’m just a customer and you’re a salesman. Keep up the good work.

@80smusicproducer Месяц назад

Not that it has anything to do with Prince using a Linndrum (he literally hated it)...but on the LM-1, typically they would take the direct out of the kick, Snare and sometimes the clap, sometimes the rim and everything else would come out of one of the summed outputs (mono) into his pedal board where he would in real time trigger effects on/off/parameters, etc while they were tracking. (he would also play fills in real time often) Even though they took the direct outs of kick/snr/clap or Rim, he could still mix those sounds into the summed mix out though the pedals as well so sometimes you hear the kick and snr/clap/rim through the pedals and sometimes not. I've had countless conversations with Susan Rogers about this process. I reckon no one remembers the process better than her. She also says they NEVER used a Linndrum on anything she ever worked on with Prince when it was his stuff. She said they did use it on some of Shelia's records. Just offering the clarification. I do love Chicago Synth City. Absolute best folks I've bought from.

@tyler_ Месяц назад

Great insight here. Learned a couple more things about Prince and his use of the LM-1/LinnDrum (that he apparently hated) that I hadn't ever come across before myself. I'd say Susan Rogers is about as reliable of a source as you could ever find when it comes to Prince and the incredible things he could come up with in the studio and sometimes right on the fly. Man, there's so many of us that would kill to see a Prince documentary similar to The Beatles' "Get Back". Thanks!

@Modernaire Месяц назад

I have never heard of Prince “ actually hating” the Linns. Clearly he loved using them and you can hear it and he would come up with fantastic patterns and even pushed it further by the late 80s. And the clap from the LM-1 still making an appearance in the 90s. Is Susan the source for this information about Prince hating this drum machine? The LinnDrum (LM-2😬) can be heard on the title track for dream factory at least the clap, and you could definitely hear it in strange relationship. Erotic City is this drum machine. You can hear the clap with a very short decay on Batdance. And it’s used in the unreleased ‘If I had a harem’ from the canceled original rave onto the joy fantastic 1989. Also in Dance With The Devil outtake from Batman. I don’t know about Susan sometimes. Even Prince didn’t really like her.

@80smusicproducer Месяц назад

@@Modernaire yes, directly from Susan. Prince loved the Linn LM-1. He hated, couldn’t stand the Linndrum.

@Modernaire Месяц назад

@@80smusicproducer I think Prince hated Susan Rogers is what I think and he alluded to his extreme annoyance at her speaking on his behalf as if she made the music or was a co producer or something. BUT, HOWEVER... I can see Prince disliking the way the LM-2, (yes I said it!) because it's slightly changed for the worse in terms of working with it. If you work with both the LM-2 AND the LM-1, the LM-1 was smarter. In the way you could program it, the efficiency of laying down a beat, the layout, each tuner was for each sound, etc etc. . Your creativity came across faster, and SO therefore, Susan may be right but most likely Prince didn't outright say he 'hated it' but rather found it difficult to work. Because I can list many songs Prince used the LM-2 ... in. Most likely, Prince may have used LM-2, excuse me LINNDRUM chips IN a custom LM-1. And later sampled into a Fairlight etc. Thanks for your reply.

@80smusicproducer Месяц назад

@@Modernaire ummm, please cite the documentation where Prince says anything negative about Susan Rogers? And sounds like maybe you should educate the people who made the records about how they made the records….I THINK Prince loved my mom….I think LIKELY he played a toothpick through a cereal box on Let’s go crazy…who cares what we think, suspect or what’s likely. All any of us have when it comes to how these (and particularly these) records got made is the empirical and documented evidence by the people who were actually there. All else is folly. Susan has been remarkably consistent in her responses when asked about process when she recorded with Prince. Further she has always gone out of her way to downplay and refute any suggestion that she provided anything but an engineering role in their record making. Any assertion otherwise is just plain dumbassery….however you are free to continue in imaginative endeavors about whatever you desire, you don’t need my input for that.

New Order used the Oberheim DMX. But tons of others used the LD, like Prince. As I recall, back in the day, they were selling for ~$4k. Which was WAY outside the budget of the average musician back then.

@tyler_ Месяц назад

My apologies if I misinterpreted your comment in the first place, but dialing in the tempo on feel alone isn't the only option allowed by the LinnDrum. While I completely agree that going by feel can be an equally important creative decision when it comes to locking in the tempo, there's a BPM button directly below the tempo knob that the guy was adjusting. All it requires is for the user to pause the track and hold down the bpm button while simultaneously turning the tempo knob. It also allows you to follow the tempo change in real time on the two digital screens. By the way, the top screen only displays a number if you go above 99 bpm.

Like many musicians (well, drummers anyway), I really want to have a good ear. And I care enough about music and frequencies that I really deserve to have a very good ear for sound. However, it would appear that I don't. On some of those changes, e.g. compressing the bass drum or the eq on the hi-hats, when he said, 'this is in... and this is out...' I was just like, 'hrm, yeah. I, uh, totally hear the difference.'

Please don't refer to the LinnDrum as an LM-2. Alex Moffett (the M in LM-1) had left the company he and Roger Linn created before the LinnDrum was created by Roger Linn himself.

@@toolman8269 This is getting geeky but let me ask you, does it matter? Where and when did the 'LM-2' originate from? Why is it here that I'm knowing about the distinction? I'm most likely going to continue referring to the LinnDrum as the LM-2 also, it's kind of like perhaps a nickname because this model seems to derive from the first one, like a second version that is very similar to the first and it's so embedded in the public psyche that the 'LM-2' isn't going away.

Perhaps it was a way too replace the first version for some reason or another.
