I have several question which may have been answered before in the forums posted previously. Is it possible to get that wholesome "phat sound" similar to the hardware sound of artists like Daft Punk? I don't seem to be having much success with Reason 2.5 and was wondering if Reason is ideal for creating the "French Touch" style of house music. I have also tried Storm and the drums sounds are actually impressive but beyond that I am not very impressed with the other instruments especially the effects. Does anyone have any suggestions that have worked for you? How about DR-008 does it have that "phat sound" similar to the hardware drum sound? Thank you everyone for your suggestions and insight all of you are awesome!

Try the amatuer music producers forum. BTW i don't think reason 2.5 will do it.

I'm pretty sure it could

It's obviously not ideal, but you can do some good stuff with it.

Try running your drum machine through a compressor, then through an EQ. Tweak the EQ so that there's a good cutoff at about 150khz or so. Then you can run the whole song through another compressor to help you get that "pumping" sound they have.

What nrjizer meant to say was this. Go down to your local pond and grab the sweetest looking duck you can find, make sure its pretty damn sweet. Ok, next take a garbage bag and throw the duck in there, throw it hard so it knows its time to jam, and that your not messing around. Now that the duck is pumped up/stunned your ready. Place the duck inside a studio and make sure its surrounded by like at least 40 harmonica's and a couple xylophonz(sp?), and throw in a couple tenor saxophones to be sure you get the authentic funky sound. Now, get a dog whistle, something high pitched that only the tuned animal ears of the duck can hear, this is how you play the duck. Now whistle when u want the duck to make the awesome daft punk sound, depending how hard u whistle, the duck will sound like a different daft punk song. Once you got your general robo-vocals down, you can put in whatever beat you want, it doesnt really matter since your robo-duckvocals will pretty much make any song awesome. Personally I like to use some type of rodent, a nice and springy one like a weasel, squirrel, or badger works nice. Take the rodent and put it inside a drum or barrel. Now punt the barrel a couple times and then throw it in a silent room with a microphone, close the door. The badger/squirrel/weasle thats inside should be completely wailing makeing an awesome beat. Now put them all togeather, polish it up, and maybe put in a couple squeeling noises to make it origional and extra funkly fresh.

Youll have that sweet daft punk sound in no time, trust me.
