Californicated : Sp1200 versus S550

Most drums and chopped loop : sp1200
Keyb and voice : S550
Some linndrum, 808 and 909 here and there
a pinch of DP4
1 once of mutator, fabfilter and xone vf1
...

forget about the the video editing it is the work of half an hour ;)

is it me or does it go out of time at around 2:00?



[kidysputpikii]

@breconmafia I am only sure it does not on the original file :)

The whole song is really good but the part from 1:11 to 1:40 is truly awesome - not exploited enough in my opinion. You'd have stolen my ex-girlfriend with that tune and gear, she was a fan of Le Knight Club, Alan Braxe... and could be aroused sexually by these DP4 phasers.

@VisualDrone12 I would love to meet her :D

DP4 phaser ftw

You have a sweet arsenal of gear! SP1200, 909, 808., and the Linn! How the hell do you sync them all up that tight? Also, what unit are you using to filter the whole mix?

[kidysputpikii]

@916Squatter the whole mix is filtered with a A&H xone vf1, regarding the sync i have midified my 808 and usually i trigger the linndrum (just like in my video "My Old School Boom Boom Factory") everything else is straight midi :)

YES!!! believe it or not i lost your uploads and now after a year i found them! is their any chance of the mp3 from this??? thanks for the tunes, they never get old!

there is more talent and naturality in this videoclip edited in half with just a couple of video chops than in most of those ridiculously shitty mega productions made only to show off and at the cost of tens, if not hundreds, of thousands dollars.

Please stay like this.

also the sounds are beautiful, and the music, while maybe not extremely original sounding, it's very pleasant and joyful. It's also well produced.

rad .. what did you sample into your S50 for that piano sound?  Or is that a original preset disk?

[DonJuanDeMarco2]

@kidysputpikii i bought the Focusrite Liquid Mix32 and im quite surprised. You can get 32 channels simultaneously of eq and comp and it does sound good. Some are better than the UAD stuff.

Also, what monitors are you using ? Does your room need any acoustic treatment ? I built my own bass traps and diffusers and my mixes translate alot better now across different systems. Still, it needs that mastering touch that in my opinion is best left to those who specialize in it.
