New to production how does Tiesto ..AVB do it ??????

Okay with all the technology now should be easier to create tunes but how the hell do guys like tiesto and AVB do it??? what do they use to create there tunes Cuebase ? Reason ? logic ? what set up do u think they have and when they DJ all over the place how do they find time to create tunes its a mystery that plagues alot of us can anyone shed light on this ....???

if you goto Armin's website, click on the studio link at the bottom and you can see pics of everything he uses, including lists of synths, processors, effects, etc.

many of the producers have laptops to use when they are travelling between DJ gig's.... so they have time

Some people will tell you Tiesto doesn't even produce his own tracks any more. I think its bullshit, but he probably does pay people to do the boring/tedious stuff like mastering.

Also, its not about the equipment. These guys just have lots of experience producing. Equipment helps if you know how to use it well but there are other things much more important than equipment.

Theres a few topics a pages back about producers studios you might find interesting. I'm too lazy to find them though.

Well, I remember reading a Tiesto interview about a year and a half ago where he said he's working with an audio engineer on all of his tracks, and that this guy comes up with some amazing stuff. So in all honesty, I wouldn't be surprised if this guy just gives Tiesto 500 presets, he picks a few that he likes and comes up with some melody and a basic structure, then this guy builds the track around that. Either way, the fact that he's working with a sound engineer alone says that the "tiesto sound" is not actually his sound at all =P

unless im mistaken theres very few artists who accutally do 100% of their tracks and theres very few record lables taht dont attach shit themselfs to tracks either mastering or eqing or compression..... so really most all artists do it so whats the big deal if you still compose the melody then your still doing 90% of the work.... yeah its kinda funny...... armin on sevral occsions aswell stated he works with a composer friend and doesnt really give him credit.... if you really wanna know just read the info on the track on the vinly or cd itll most the time tell you exactly who did what and who was involved...

so you think that the melodie is 90% of the work.. have you ever made a track????


but to tiesto and doing his own stuff or not.. i have no idea.. and don't really care... but i know that there's some guy that make's presets for him.. they are even up on this guy's website.. can't remember his name thou..

Mike Clark is the man behind Tiesto's preset's. At a dj expo in Holland a month ago, he gave a presentation of those sound sets, created on a Virus B. Back in the days Tiesto did his on production, but he is to busy for that now. I'm not sure how great his account is on his latest production's.

i believe tiesto definately used vanguard to create his bassline in his version of adagio for strings (typical gated sound) and also in nyana he used vanguard i think...

i highly doubt it

no
he used access virus

and thats right Mike Clark is tiesto's preset maker, he is selling a bunch of his presets early next year, iv had the chance to test a small amount of them, and its a 10/10 from me.

keep an eye and ear out for them next year.

Oh no, no, no !!!
Tiesto has a very big studio, he has many hardware synths, so what would he do with a vanguard ?
No, he has an Access Virus C (the best synth for me), more than 2000�, 16 parts multitimbral, 64 effects, 4 osc... It's the best of the best, it produces very POWERFUL trance sounds !!!!!
He has many others hardware synths too...

The vanguard is too limited... Good sounds, very powerful for a softsynth, but limited...

it's not about the machine, it's about the man behind it

anyway, back to the topic

the biggest ingredient is probably experience. Theese guys have done what they do for over 10 years, if youv'e done it that much then you prolly get a pretty good idea on how stuff should sound

some use engineers like tiesto and some people even do the mastering by themselves (not 100% about it but I've heard from pretty reliable sources that armin does that )

If i had to select one of the methods I'd go with "do everything by yourself" simply because you have more controll over what's happening with your own stuff (but on the other hand who cares about me )


Posted by ZxZDeViLZxZ on Dec-13-2004 14:25:

nope ive never produced a track..... i thought it was obvious tho that the 90% was clearly an exageration of it and merely used to say that it takes more then a awesome bank of presets to make a track.....

About all the stupid nonsense of mastering: It's about mixing, not mastering. Mastering is preparing the track for pressing it onto vinyl.
It's all about the mixing!
