Of my own productions, Sick’O'Six is my personal favorite, it’s unreleased as of yet.. (Keep an eye out for a certain 12″ in 2012!). But you can hear it in my Cloudcast: 303 Decks Don’t Need FX. Apparent in this track is my transition from digital to analog production over the year. 2012 will be mostly analog, a happy perspective.
The biggest loss of this year was NOT re-visiting Japan! I miss the place and people and I really hope to be there again soon..
However, the biggest win was going to Paris with @Mooiechocolat. And I’ve been to Paris again with @CaroSiburny. And I’ll go again this very week!!! I ❤ Paris!
I was cleaning-up my samples folder and ran into these samples I once made, probably back in 2007 or 2008. Simple and funny, the dial pad of a telephone can be used to add a whole different beep to your bang.
Theoretically you can sequence a telephone-number in Ableton and initiate a call! Just hold the phone’s receiver up to your speaker while playing back the sounds and the call should commence. Oh, this will work only with a landline, mobiles don’t dial that way. I have little experience with VoIP phones, so I don’t know if they work with DTMF tones. Head on over to Wikipedia to learn more about DTMF.
Once downloaded, put the folder “JordyVision” in the samples folder of your Ableton Library, usually found at:
Ableton/Library/Samples
Put the drum rack file (.adg extension) in the correct presets folder of your Ableton Library. That would be “Drum Rack” in this case, typically located at:
Ableton/Library/Presets/Instruments/Drum Rack
You can make your own folder within the Drum Rack folder if you wish. Most of the time I call these “My Presets”, “My Patches” or something along these lines, pick a name you’re comfortable with.
Another vintage drum-computer, this time completely analog, but sampled just as deliciously and noise-free as possible.
Samples recorded through an M-Audio Fast Track Pro using the TR-606′s only line-out, the mono line-out. Noise reduction via Ableton Live’s gate device. Further editing and sample-rate conversion done in Audacity. Rendered in both 24-Bit 96000Hz AIFF and 16-Bit 44100Hz WAV.
The vintage sample-based digital drum-computer, deliciously sampled for your sampling pleasure; The Roland TR-505 Sample Pack
Samples recorded through an M-Audio Fast Track Pro using the TR-505′s line-out (mono, left output). Noise reduction via Ableton Live’s gate device. Further editing and sample-rate conversion done in Audacity. Rendered in both 24-Bit 96000Hz AIFF and 16-Bit 44100Hz WAV.
With this sample-kit i introduce a few new percussive sounds to toy around with and a new synth sound.
The “Fifth Synth” are the basic 4 oscillator types (sine, triangle, square, saw) in fifth. Meaning there is a second tone to the main frequency, five semi-tones up.
