Jamie21 - Corvid -- Donaukinder cover: Pre-production

A little preview of the pre-production/demo work of a Donaukinder cover by myself and Jamie21 of the Herzeleid Rammstein forums, in the style of the various Rammstein-in-the-studio videos seen on youtube a while back. This will in some form or another become the working demo for Jamie to work his guitar magic on. Stay tuned, I'll upload more previews as time goes on. It's gonna be a long haul for various reasons (not least that it takes an age to get anywhere near Rammstein's sound), but it will certainly be worth it. Jamie's youtube channel can be found here (http://www.youtube.com/user/RAMMSTEIN21666).

Note to youtube/copyright holders: ALL sounds heard in the video are my own work, the original track has not been used in any form, please do not remove.

Aaaaand for anyone still reading, some technical stuff if you're interested. I'm using an Ensoniq ASR-10 sampler for most of the sounds, one of the keyboards Flake Lorenz uses extensively. The choir is from Spectrasonics Symphony of Voices (which if you need choirs is worth every PENNY, knocks the hell out of any synth/workstation preset). The strings are currently from Prosonus, imported from a Roland format CD. Might change this later on, or have a play with the patch and see if I can get a closer sound.

Awesome!!! And you are using the enosinq ar 10 :D

I just realized Flake's using a lot of Native Instruments lately. Heard the DXsomething patch on a Massive demo version (which doesn't really work on my Windows XP) - that was the Haifisch intro thing. Then there was something from Absynth, too. And also a lot of Symphony of Voices by Spectrasonics - 5/4, Hallelujah, Sonne... but the funniest discovery so far was the DelayLama.

please corvid tell me about the choir sound.. the number of the CD, the partition.. and the name of the choir.. tnx..

Hi, i know that you find the same patch as Flake for Fruhling in Paris, is it possible to share it ? Or to tell us which instrument he uses ?

Regards

Do you know about the ASR10 "Presets" Where you assign midi settings* I have an 8 track project in protools and when I load my bank in the ASR10 it never loads the midi settings *Presets* I saved a preset and saved a bank but the presets never load! In order to load the presets I have to do thi:1. Press Load and hold it down, press instrument button (Display "Select a preset number" 2. Press instrument track number one then keypad #1 move slider to 01 then press button one in the keypad

@AdmiralCNorton Nah, proprietary file format. You'll find it hard to get samples digitally from computer to the ASR, not worth bothering. That's why the CD drive is so important, there's absolutely TONS of discs available in Ensoniq format. Plus it can read most popular formats of Roland and AKAI discs. But of course, this is a fantastic sampler, you can just sample in any synth or patch you like. Might take some clever thinking to get it sounding identical, but it's very powerful and deep.

[AdmiralCNorton]

@Corvid Just one last, stupid question - which file format does the ASR-10 use? SF2 or anything like that?

[Corvid]

@AdmiralCNorton No worries man! Just make sure it has the SCSI interface! It comes with zero presets or sounds. When you first get it, unless it come with some floppy disks, you won't be able to play a thing when you turn it on. Everything must be loaded in via floppy or a SCSI CD/hard drive. I can sure help you out with some Rammstein samples/CDs if you need them, but you'll need a CD drive. Have a look for a SCSI Apple CD300, they go VERY cheap and work fine.

[AdmiralCNorton]

@Corvid Thanks for the tips! I'm gonna take a look at eBay now...

[Corvid]

@AdmiralCNorton Nah, don't go near the US... two reasons. One, all the hip-hop guys over there have a thing about the ASR-10's "sound" (highly debatable, but hey, it's a good sampler none the less) which pushes the price up. I mean waaaay up, I see crappy condition ones going with SCSI for $750, regularly. Two, you've got X hundred dollars shipping to Europe, bad times. Have a look for ones on eBay in Europe or the UK, I'd be very surprised to see a decent one go for more than 600USD.
