Ask The Producer: Ian Pooley (Electronic Beats TV)

Музыка

Telekom Electronic Beats TV’s Ask The Producer Series continues with Ian Pooley. As one of Germany’s best known house music exports, he attained international prominence back in the 90s particularly via his releases on Definitive and Force Inc, the latter of which released his classic track “Chord Memory”, which was famously remixed by Daft Punk. During this episode, he delves into the intricacies of groove in sequencing, his use of the Akai MPC 3000, What a “chord memory” actually is, and much much more.
0:09 Could you explain your current process of arrangement, do you still do it in your MPC or with a computer?
2:39 What was your favorite remix of "Chord Memory" and why?
3:31 When I play your track "No Need To Pretend" with Sasse the bassline sounds so strong, full, fat and really sticks out compared to any other house track. What's the secret?
5:08 How do your work on the bass of a track, particularly the EQ and mix to make it sound good?
12:23 How do you combat getting sick of trying to finish a track?
16:18 Is playing live, improvisation and collaboration important for your recorded music?
20:54 Is a compressor limiter a must have to get a coherent sound live or can good EQ'ing do the trick?
23:41 How do your deal with floor noise and ground loop noise?
25:10 Do you record every instrument on it's own down to Hi-Hat / Open Hi-Hat or the whole drum machine as stereo? How many channels per track in the end?
26:40 Why analogue hardware?
30:49 When did you say to yourself "f.... it Iam going to make music for a living".

    @@skriptico is the computer plugged on the same socket as well ? Yes USB is the worst, did you try all USB socket of your computer ? they are not all equal. Also there are some USB cable with ferrite ring but not sure that would help if the noise is coming directly from the computer. You could also investigate if plugging the computer on the same wall socket as everything else is doable (for the amp etc, it probably is but look into it to be sure) Plugging absolutely every gear that are inter-connected to the same socket did it for me in the past. One last thing to look into : try to plug all of this in a different wall socket to see if that helps. Also try to record it and see if it gets into the audio recording or not. One of my friend had an issue like this and it was a neigbhor with an old satellite antena, I hope it's not this lol.

    They have the 808 and 909 in the boutique series, then there is the tr8, and the tr8s with acb (they sound like the originals, approximatly because every 808 and 909 sound a bit different). Then you have clones or better said similar ones like the tanzbarr.

    I add an EQ that has a spectrum analyser to the kick track and look for the strongest, highest peak in the low end. If using Ableton, EQ Eight is great for this as you can expand the analyser which gives a small blue box in the bottom lefthand corner, if you put your mouse curser in the centre of the highest peak, the blue box will tell you which note (key) your kick is in. Just make sure the kick is solo'd so the analyser isn't getting information from other elements such as bass.
