k like can you organize the shit a little better.

each track year made and such.

And um , not that i don't believe its yours but that wasn't made on a tascam portastudio. I mean you can hear compression on each element, reverb, i mean you could not do that with that equipment so tell the full story as i'm sure that is more interesting. DId you record each part then get it mixed at a studio , that would make more sense. Not to mention the mix is better than the mixes you do now.

TRACK 1 - the pop one.

Right I'm thinking back. I spent a long time making this (and others).


The core was my Yamaha SY85 workstation, a digital synth released in 1992. I spent inordinate amounts of time making each track inside it. I cant recall if it had compression on each sound inside the synth. I do know I would use note velocity to tame things.

This particular track I then recorded through a big old late model plastic Tascam mixing desk amied at the home producer.
Then into Portastudio (or it might have been FOSTEX HARDWARE RACK - I'm not sure as we changed from portastudio to the Fostex didgital rack at that time).

We would typically put everything though a DBX compressor.

I dont recall the Tascam desk having individual compression per channel.

This is one of the few tracks I got mastered - at a London studio - just the entire track, no steming, no mixing.

Here's the dance track that wouldn't load up earlier.


1998 - after this I had years of no music.

This was all done thru my Mackie straight into a dbx compressor then into a DAT.
But the vocals were recorded to Sony mini disk.
All hardware, end to end.



I would have adored compression per channel.

I did a fair bit or hardware sampling to tame things.

so like just to get it in the open because sometimes i worry my homo jokes insult you but are you gay or not ?

i mean everything about you says you are but i remember you talking about a girl. I don't think anyone on a dance forum other than RobbieRox would care.

seriously tho,

how do you go from this, to what you do now. I mean you have 15 years to get better and well, i suppose i'm pleasantly surprized as well in that given what you make now and applying a 15 year index of what you should of been , it really is odd.

come on, i won't judge. 10 year meth bath house bbr marathon ?

The compressor was a Behringer, the dbx came slightly later.
Verb was Alesis - thinking back these were fucking nice tools. Also had a wonderfull Boss multi FX unit - it was silver and blue, cant recall it's name.

Ok, late 90's fell in love, moved house. Twas a shitpit, needed years of work to fix it up and make it nice. So I sold all the music gear so I would be forced to fix the house.

About 4 years ago started getting back into production.

I've always been embarassed about my old stuff, never shared it until now.

I actually hear some britpop influence here. ofcourse it's a bit camp, but then still i can place this in time.
