LOL i remember this. This is from the futuremusic magazine.
I was in England at that time and totally buzzing thinking that this is the "holy grail".
LOL but the result sounds like kak. Something you don't need this tutorial for.

I think i still have the cd with the audio examples that goes with this "tutorial".
So if someone's interested let me know (no pms please).

yeah man i am
swing it this way please

aight: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=ACUG1276
it's the whole cd in 320k.



mind you though, the tutorial is like 20 secs short... and it does sound like kak.

Pfft... most of it I'm sure he gets for free.



Of course it is. Less is more these days. All anybody really needs anymore is a decent computer and software. Logic, Reason, Ableton, Cubase, FL Studio... all pretty standard. Then you got guys like Burial using Soundforge and sampling a zippo lighter and his utensil drawer... fuck me! Less is more.

yeh that very true, its not all about equipment...its just how creative you are

anyone else know where i can get full scans of all the old future music issues from the 90's?

im surprised no-one has began to upload them yet

there was a very good one in future music in the late 90's. Right after Fat of The land.

Can anyone upload that one? Liam did talk about his way of making the firestarter rythm from a jungle warfare loop, about his synths. ect

me too man! I#d kill for them.
i've still got the cds from like 20 issues but no mags.... i'll be uploading them once i got them on my mac.

really? can't remember that one. that'd be nice to have.
while we're on it, here's the firestarter drumloop ("the roller") in rex format:

My dad has quite a few issues from 93-97, although he doesn't have a scanner any more. If there's a particular article u need I'll see if he has it.

i would love to have a scan of the oldest issue you have, just to compare how production has changed in all this time.

People need to start scanning all old music mags for internet archive

man could somone upload to rapidshare, i honestly cannot read what the letters tell me, i've been trying for like 20 minutes

3 things; Compression, Distortion and more Compression! lol
And not forgetting a great deal of time and effort

Main gear:

Experience-era:
Drums: TR-909 fused with sampled drums from old funk records, not forgetting the legendary reverb on the kick for the booming 'warehouse' sound.
Synths: The majority of the synths came from samples on his Roland W-30, he did use a few old analog synths though, such as Alpha Juno-2 and the TB-303.

See Future Music interview from 1993 for info... http://www.nekozine.co.uk/prodigy/futur ... odigy.html

Jilted-era:
Drums: Pretty much the same as Experience, more processing going on though, 909 can be heard in Their Law and Voodoo People.
Synths: Liam began using Cubase for sequencing instead of the W-30, he also began expanding his gear, one of the main additions was the Roland JD-990, which provided the lead sounds on Voodoo People and Poison.

Fat-era:
Drum: Liam went back to the Hip Hop drum machines of the 80's, such as the E-mu SP 1200. Oh yeah, and not forgetting Zero G sample CD's!
Synths: Korg Prophecy (mainly)

There's some great info here on Liam producing FOTL...

Outnumbered-era:
Drums: Most probably from Reason's soundbank, as well as his own personal samples that he'd built up over the years.
Synths: Propellerhead's Reason software (mainly), he did also use a Korg microKorg, MS-20 and Oberheim Four voice to fill in the gaps.

There's quite a few interviews and magazines on Liam's gear from this era...

Invaders-era:
Drums: Again more than likely Liams personal sample collection. The beginning of 'Thunder' uses the default kit in Ultrabeat from Logic Pro.
Synths: Liams main sequencer is currently Apple's Logic Pro software. He does still use some hardware synths though; his Access Virus TI Polar seems to be a favorite, as well as an Oberheim Two Voice and Analog Factory.

Wrong man , for aono he used Reason and he still use it.

didn't liam say thay he used ableton for aono ??
