I've been listening to paul van dyk for a while... and I'm just really curious about this cuz i'm kinda interested in buying a sampler.

In Mayday 2000, it SOUNDS like he adds in high hats. In the Mayday 2000 video at 2:20 ( and earlier ) , you hear high hats. These dont really sound like it's part of Fibonacci Sequence. These same high hats are played thru the rest of his gig. You can hear it in darude as well as the transitions between most of his songs.

In his newest gig NEC gatecrasher, you also hear these same high hats.
They have some sort of echoing sound to it and dont really seem like they are the high hats on the vinyl. You can hear it loud and clear in his awesome song at the end.

So i'm wondering how is he making these high hats? From a drum machine or what?

Hey Xquisite

Paul uses a 12 channel mini-disc to get the sounds. Before a set he spends some time in his studio and loads beats, high hats, cymbols etc onto the mini-disc and then plays them off it.

He can also mix into and out of the mini disc.

Why do I know all of this? Because I interviewed him about it last year --> http://www.pcmusic.co.za/archive/20.../interview2.php

if u seen the vid of May Day 2000 he has 3rd Turn table and there are times where there are records on all three, and seem to be playing... so yeah, maybe its the third record.

But how can you beatmatch on something recorded on MD?

True, sorry, I didn't read the whole 2000 bit... bugger.

The minidisc he was using allowed him to speed it up and slow it down as you would a standard CD - that hardcore!

Drizzt, yep, he played Second Sun - Empire for the first time at that show hehe, Fox is still jealous!

If you are wondering how he makes the hihats sound that way, he flanges them (according to a friend of mine).
