He does the same thing with the reverbed clap after the last break. it only gets used one time.

Just goes to show that sometimes less is more in production.

P.S. That track goes really well right out of Michael Cassette - Shadows Movement, just gotta pitch it up a semitone.

Ferry is one of those who can get away having only a closed hat, open hat and a clap in his tracks for the whole percussion line.

This just shows how talented of a musician Ferry is!

But its going to be hard to copy a sound from anyone - if a sound is unique enough why try to copy it, you could make one just as good probably by mistake while playing around with what sounds good to your ears.

All you have to do is sidechain

Yep and more analog.

It was funny the first time.

Thats the first time I've ever said it actually.

Every "more sidechain" comment needs to be followed up with the analog comment. And on this forum there will never be a last time for it, whether me or someone else.

Does anybody actually laugh when someone puts the "more sidechain" or "more analogue" joke comments?

I never laughed the first time at such geeky humour and now after many many more times, they've become tedious beyond belief.

especially when fags write it as moar.. major gayness

You know who you are

lol

you need to sidechain the clap to the snare, and run that through an analog tape deck.

He used the REAL 909 in there somewhere...

MAOR ANALOG!! << For dude who called the maor sayers fags.


Seriously, if 2 words annoy someone that easily. Get a fuckn life.

At least I broke the utter transparency of it...

Agreed. And maybe I am a geek but, that shit is still funny as hell, and , I laugh every single time.


Its just as funny as when somebody says " How do I sound like a Ferry clap" You know what I mean?

No Offense to anybody, I am just in a goofy mood. Must be the weeds.

some people dont take some technical advice seriously lol

Well just an update I did learn some other real basic things that give my claps wayy more character.

Most of its simple LFO changes at the end or midway through the sample. Like slowly dipping the pitch down on the clap, putting it through hipass and dipping in lower frequencies with LFO, layering with snares like we discussed, and for the real watery claps I'll cut out some attack, reverb the SHIT out of it, and throw it on sidechain.

And I still refuse to delay any of my claps, don't know why, just don't like it.

I was interested in making a corsten style clap in my lastest track, more the length than the exact sound. I managed it in about 20 mins. Got a short mid range snare. Then got a typical 909 clap. Added a crap load of pre-delay to the clap and a bit of traditional reverb to extend the sound. Then added this to the snare. I then simply chopped the 'tail' of the reverb to the length I wanted the overall clap to be. Took a few goes but I got it so the length worked perfectly with the rhythm of the rest of the percussion. The remaining tweaks were just eq'ing. I'm very happy with the result. I'm going to use it as a template for future claps.
